Summary
“I’m trans.”
“You’re…” Shane froze, this is not where he thought the conversation was going. He had thought Hayden was trapped in some sort of scandal, maybe he was cheating on Jackie, or had a gambling problem, or a million other possibilities before this.
“Trans. Transgender.”
---
Hayden has been isolating himself from the team, from Shane, and from Jackie for months. Shane finally confronts him and secrets are shared on both sides.

Summary
Ilya was trying to do the math in his head. How did one dopey man and one assertive woman create Shane, who was neither? Although, as he watched David fidget and avoid eye contact, the pieces were starting to fall into place. He wondered if David was as easy to fluster as his son.
"So, I hear you played for McGill."

I just want Jacob Tierney to tell me what they talked about while Shane and Yuna were outside.

Summary
In late 2012 when Shane has a meltdown and frantically tells them to call Lily, for the first time Yuna’s ever witnessed, Shane is coaxed out of one of them instead of just suffering through until the exhaustion wins out instead—and all by some mysterious, apparently very well attuned to Shane, 'Lily'.
She hadn’t meant to see the number before she’d pressed it and fumbled the phone up to Shane’s ear. It was simply a byproduct of the situation, something Shane had asked for her to do.
…Memorizing it and then texting that number to thank Lily for their help was not something she’d been asked to do. But she worries so much about Shane, and Lily is a reassurance. Not a pry for details but the simple, verifiable confirmation: he’s okay.
Lily, on the other hand, very much enjoys being able to make oddly specific 'your mother' jokes to Shane much more often now. (And maybe the whole family piece of it, too.)

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.
