This post contains details from Season 3, Episode 12 ofAll American: Homecoming.
Mondays penultimate episode ofAll American: Homecomingseemed, in many ways, to be about healing.
I think that really speaks to who she is and how she sees Cam.

Walker spoke with Deadline about the episode and teased the upcoming finale ofAll American: Homecoming.
DEADLINE: This is the penultimate episode of the season.
How are you feeling about everything officially coming to an end?
NETTA WALKER:Its definitely bittersweet.
Its really, really strange.
Im very thankful that we got to end it on this note, though.
DEADLINE: Its been an intense season for Keisha and Cam.
What was your reaction to finding out what would be going down with them?
So I got a bit of a low down of what was to come.
I got really excited.
How do you think shes grown since Season 1 to be able to go through this trying time?
I wouldnt change that for the world.
Its been really special.
Im very thankful for the relationship that we got to cultivate.
It was really exciting going into the season, recognizing that we get to have some serious conflict.
Im so thankful that I got to excavate all of that with Mitchell.
Hes so talented, so gifted, and so giving as a scene partner.
So I wouldnt change it for the world.
WALKER:I loved seeing how deeply she really does love him.
I think we both knew that they had really deep love for each other.
I think that really speaks to who she is and how she sees Cam.
I was really happy to see that.
WALKER:How special to get to witness that.
Thats so rare to get to see in this capacity.
DEADLINE: Keisha also says in this episode shes been asked to tour as a backup dancer.
After everything that went down with her awful dance teacher, how validating is that for her?
WALKER:It was so exciting, the validation of getting that after everything she has been through.
I just am proud of her.
I think that thats the perfect example of that.
You and Sylvester have such great scenes together.
How did that add to the experience in this final season?
WALKER:Its so exciting.
Watching the show, you get to watch your peers do wonderful work and admire them.
Ive always admired Sylvesters work.
Hes just so phenomenal.
It felt very lucky to really expand on who we got to work with this season.
But it was really cool to get to find all of this with Sylvester.
Hes just so talented and special, and he made it easy.
They really saved each other in a way.
I felt, as an actor, its my job to find a way to make that feel grounded.
So I really understood where she was coming from.
Theres also truths that we dont tell ourselves in those moments that feel really critical.
I think thats just again, the beauty of being human.
I think its vice versa with JR and how hes trying to save the baseball team.
He really dives into that with her, because he doesnt feel judged.
DEADLINE: What can audiences look forward to from the finale?
WALKER:Oh, its tough.
I feel like the audiences will agree with how this ends.
Im excited for people to see how Simones storyline wraps up as well.
DEADLINE: Whats next for you?
WALKER:I am very excited about this journey into writing.
I am back in Chicago writing plays and getting my plays workshopped.
Ill be back in LA in October to pitch a series with the American Cinematheque.
So its been cool journeying into what it means to be a writer and maybe a possible showrunner.
I cant wait to step into, hopefully, shoes that mirror NKs at some point.
