New York, New York (Friday Night Lights)

The series is set in the fictional town of Dillon, a small, close-knit community in rural West Texas.

It features a set of characters, primarily connected to Coach Eric Taylor, his wife Tami, and their daughter Julie.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 3.80 million household viewers and gained a 1.2/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.

Jason (Scott Porter) tells Tim (Taylor Kitsch), Herc (Kevin Rankin), and Billy (Derek Phillips) that he will leave Dillon and move to New York City to accept the sports agency job, in order to get closer to Erin (Tamara Jolaine) and Noah.

During training, Mac (Blue Deckert) has a heart attack and is placed at the hospital, forcing the team to find a new replacement.

During this, Matt (Zach Gilford) approaches Eric (Kyle Chandler) over possibly becoming a wide receiver.

Eric is also annoyed when he learns that Tami (Connie Britton) has checked a house with Katie (Janine Turner) to possibly move the Taylors.

Jason admits he wants Grant to give him a job, but he is also worried that he is making a mistake by abandoning the agency.

Matt convinces Eric to play football outside his house, planning to show that he has potential as a wide receiver.

[2] In July 2008, it was announced that Scott Porter would leave the series after appearing in four episodes, with Jason Katims explaining that the decision was done to "launch [himself] into the next phase of [his life].

Club gave the episode a "B" grade and wrote, "Okay, let's just say this clearly: Street's storyline here is pretty implausible.

It's a convenient happy ending exit for Street arrived at by plot turns that seem only half thought-out by the show's grounded standards.

"[11] Todd Martens of Los Angeles Times wrote, "Friday Night Lights veered too close to soap opera territory, letting Street win his way out of multiple outlandish situations in two episodes, but his final, heart-wrenching speech was likely enough pay-off for most fans.

"[14] Daniel Fienberg of Zap2it wrote, "While the episode and circumstances around the departure of Scott Porter's Jason Street weren't quite as strong as the set-up for Gaius Charles' exit in "Hello, Goodbye," I'm guessing the hour hit many of the right emotional high points for long-time viewers.
