Cassius makes a bet with Jordan in the All American season 7 finale, hoping for a reconciliation
As things heat up on the field with the playoffs between the South Crenshaw Charges and the Beverly Eagles in All American season 7 finale, Cassius ups the tension. He and Jordan shake hands to lock in the former's bet. If Beverly wins, Jordan will have to give Cassius a chance to explain why he came to town intending to erase Billy Baker's legacy.
Cassius wants to take that step into repairing his growing friendship with Jordan before the truth about them being first cousins is revealed at the end of All American season 7 episode 11. At the time, Cassius was forced to admit their family ties to donate blood to Jordan, who was stabbed and was fighting for his life.
However, after Jordan comes out of surgery, his treatment of Cassius is not welcoming. He feels betrayed by his fellow coach's duplicity, especially after knowing that Cassius' main reason for coming to town was to try to erase his father's legacy at Beverly High. As it plays out in All American season 7 episode 12, Jordan doesn't want to hear any explanation from Cassius.
Hence, it's understandable that Cassius will take any chance he gets to explain and make Jordan understand that whatever brought him to town before is not his purpose anymore. However, the All American season 7 finale ends without an answer if they will be going out on that coffee date. The episode ends just a few seconds before KJ's hail-mary pass lands, which would make or break the game.

Amina makes a decision about her future in All American season 7 finale
The last couple of episodes leading to the All American season 7 finale have taken a turn for Amina. She has always been a strong support for her community—for Coop, her father, Khalil, KJ, and everyone who needs her help. It's why she wanted to be the Stu-Co president in the first place. However, All American season 7 episode 12 has given her a tough choice.
She has a chance to get into a boarding school that could be her ticket to Stanford. The only problem is that it's an hour's flight, meaning she's going to be away from her family and friends. If she wants in on the school, it would be because she's putting herself and her future first.
In All American season 7 finale, she receives her acceptance letter from the boarding school. KJ thinks Amina should grab the chance, while Khalil initially thinks that she shouldn't leave her community and him behind. As Amina takes time to think about her decision, her father says that she only has until tonight to decide, as they have to put in the down payment for the school.
As Amina scrambles for an answer, a conversation with Layla Baker reminds her to put herself first. During the playoffs, where everyone does their own thing, Khalil speaks to her and apologizes for his initial comments. He's proud of Amina, and he's not going to hold her back. In the All American season 7 finale, she finally makes the decision—she's going to boarding school.
All American season 7 finale hints at a turnaround in Khalil and Marqui's relationship
Since Khalil refused to become his father's alibi in the All American season 7 episode 6, he has started to stand up against his father. While he continues to foster their relationship, Khalil has stood his ground when it comes to his boundaries, even after Marqui's return on his birthday. The same plays out in the All American season 7 finale when he chooses Jordan as his parent over Marqui.
Marqui remains on the sidelines during the playoffs, but his negativity prompts Jordan to give him a real talk. If he wants to salvage whatever is left in his relationship with Khalil, he has to make his son a priority. He needs to make his life turn around and support everything that Khalil holds important in his life, like football.
While Marqui is a bit miffed about Jordan's frankness, he heeds Jordan's advice. When he notices Khalil appears distracted during the game, he checks in on him and discovers what's going on. He finds out that Amina and her decision to go to boarding school have distracted Khalil.
Then, he proceeds to give Khalil the sole good advice to come from him throughout the season. He says that Khalil has to set Amina free and support her in doing her own thing. If they are meant for each other, they're going to find their way to each other again. It's the push Khalil needs to get his head in the game and apologize to Amina.
All American season 7 finale leaves unfinished storylines
All American season 7 finale gives a few conclusions to existing storylines in the season, like Amina's decision whether to go to the boarding school or not and Khalil's relationship with his father. Cassius wins the Coach of the Year award, but KJ loses out on becoming the Player of the Year. However, the finale ends in a dramatic playoff cliffhanger.
The playoff game will determine which team, between the Eagles and the Chargers, will move to the state championship. It will also determine if there's hope that Cassius and Jordan will patch things up. However, the season finale ends with Jordan, Cassius, and every single spectator on the field watching KJ's pass, with the ball soaring through the air. The ball doesn't land before the credits start rolling.
