Tomorrow Blues
"Tomorrow Blues" is the thirteenth episode and season finale of the third season of the American sports drama television series Friday Night Lights, inspired by the 1990 nonfiction book by H. G. Bissinger. It is the 50th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Jason Katims, and directed by executive producer Jeffrey Reiner. It originally aired on DirecTV's 101 Network on January 14, 2009, before airing on NBC on April 10, 2009.
The series is set in the fictional town of Dillon, a small, close-knit community in rural West Texas. It follows a high school football team, the Dillon Panthers. It features a set of characters, primarily connected to Coach Eric Taylor, his wife Tami, and their daughter Julie. In the episode, Eric's job is under review as his contract awaits renewal. Meanwhile, Matt, Tim and Lyla prepare for their college future, while Tyra worries about not making it to college.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 4.36 million household viewers and gained a 1.3/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the performances, smaller scale, character development and emotional tone.
Five months after the state championship, Dillon has moved on after the loss. As the school year is over, Tami (Connie Britton) announces Matt (Zach Gilford) will be going to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, while both Tim (Taylor Kitsch) and Lyla (Minka Kelly) will attend the San Antonio State University. Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) is still in the process of applying for college, and J.D. (Jeremy Sumpter) was named by Dave Campbell's Texas Football as "High School Quarterback of the Year".
Eric (Kyle Chandler) has his contract expiring in a few days, requiring the committee to review a possible extension. As he and Buddy (Brad Leland) meet with a family to convince them in joining Dillon High, they are astounded when they realize that Joe (D. W. Moffett) and Wade (Drew Waters) already contacted the family on behalf of the team. Eric confronts Joe for his actions, who offers him a chance in vouching for him to keep his position if he uses Wade's plays, which he refuses. Buddy is not convinced of Lyla's college choice, as he deems the college as a "party school", especially with Tim's presence. Tami contacts Vanderbilt University, getting an extension of possible enrollment for Lyla. To pay for college, Buddy accepts to meet with his estranged brother Gary.
Matt takes Lorraine (Louanne Stephens) to an elderly care home, and he shares a goodbye as he prepares for leaving for college. Tim and Billy (Derek Phillips) go to an auction to buy items for the repair shop, and Tim convinces Billy in buying a Texas Longhorn. However, the car breaks down and they have an argument over Billy's financial status. As Tim consoles him, he is overjoyed when Billy reveals that Mindy is pregnant. Landry (Jesse Plemons) consoles Tyra over her impending future, telling her she only needs to focus on herself to find happiness. That night, a UT letter arrives and Tyra is delighted to learn that she has been accepted. Eric attends the board meeting, saying that his days as coach are just getting started. During the wedding of Billy and Mindy, Tami tells Eric that the committee has chosen Wade as the new coach, but that they are offering Eric the position of head coach in East Dillon High.
At the reception, Lyla tells Tim that she contacted Gary for the needed money but she questions leaving Tim. Tim assures her that she should go to Vanderbilt, feeling she deserves a better school. Julie (Aimee Teegarden) tells Matt that they will have to break up, knowing that a long-distance relationship won't work. Matt decides to take Lorraine out of the care home and get her to the wedding, as she is the only person who didn't abandon him. Tim tells Billy he won't go to college, so an upset Billy tells him that he needs to do it; as he is the first Riggins family member to go to college, he will inspire their children, convincing him to go. Eric takes Tami to the East Dillon field house, embracing as they stare at Eric's new job.
The episode was written by executive producer Jason Katims, and directed by executive producer Jeffrey Reiner. This was Katims' seventh writing credit, and Reiner's 18th directing credit.
