Previously on "Bel-Air"...

Thank you for helping out the team.

They all said they wished they had an Uncle Phil.

No one else holds your destiny, son... not Lou...

I didn't come here to be disrespected.

Not your uncle...

But I do think that you could be more disciplined

when it comes to your future.

Not Doc...

It's always about getting the W.

Be that answer for yourself.

What are you doing?

You don't you say a goddamn thing.

I won't.

I'm a drug addict.

I look at the people who love and support me every day,

and I lie to them.

I looked up, and I didn't even know where I was.

It was the meds. - You really believe this?

Right now, I do.

After all we've done, I just feel like...

We failed.

I love you, Hilary. I never meant to hurt you.

I can't do this anymore.

You and me on a transatlantic flight

to the city of lights. - Let's do it.

Hi, Olivia. Love your rainbow pin.

Do you want to hang this summer?

Definitely.

I used to move with a gang in London.

But I had to cut off all contact with my family.

Geoffrey's looking for his son.

Keeping him safe has been our first priority.

This has to be your decision.

- Frederick. - Geoffrey.

When I was a kid, I thought maybe I made you up.

Sorry it had to be such a quick visit.

It's the safest way.

I keep getting calls from a phone in East London.

Frederick might be in danger.

So you feel like that's what's best for us,

just being friends? - I do.

Fuck what we said. How do you feel?

Yo, I'm ready to let Bel-Air know what's up.

The prince has arrived, baby.

What's summer like in Bel-Air anyway?

You have no idea.

That sounds tempting.

But I have swim practice.

I'm trying to win nationals, remember?

We'll have plenty of time when you get back.

What up, Q? - What's happening, Will?

You down for a little one-on-one later?

Oh, man, I would, but I don't want to embarrass you

in front of your assistant.

You know, I actually been reading your book

about how you built your empire.

OK.

Trying to be like you, big bro.

OK, that's love, man.

So, listen, man, you...

you still doing interviews for your summer program?

- Young, Gifted, and Black? - Yeah.

Why, you interested?

I thought you was just about that court life.

- No, man. I want it all. - All right.

Well, look, I tell you what, man.

You want to shoot your shot? Final round's coming up.

I'll put your name on the list. - Oh, man, I'll be there.

- All right, that's you. - All right.

All right. Tell Phil I said what up, bro.

- I'll see you soon. - All right.

Yes!

All I remember thinking was,

"There's no way I'm coming back from this."

But 30 days later,

I'm still standing,

ready to get back to a better life.

Look, I'm not gonna get all weepy here or anything,

but, um, thank you.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

I don't want our fairy tale to end.

But we know it's just the beginning.

Yes, we do.

Lots of firsts for us this trip.

Mm-hmm.

Skinny-dipping in the Mediterranean.

Mm.

Sleeping under the stars in Santorini.

I'd love to introduce you to another first.

- What? - Mile High Club.

That's cute. You think you're the first.

Ah.

Beautiful.

Our "Essence" audience is going to love you two.

Ooh, you hear that, baby?

Jay-Z and Beyoncé who? - Barack and Michelle what?

Our feature is on power couples.

So tell me, how do you find time

to balance demanding careers with family

and keep your spark alive?

Well, when your wife is this smart and this sexy,

it's easy.

Excellent. Let's get a few more.

OK. Just like that. Love it.

Your family is like perfection.

Yeah, they make it seem that way.

What do you mean?

You know.

Sometimes looking the part is

more important than what's really going on.

Wow. This is gonna be the cover.

Hey.

Feels good to be going home, huh?

God, yes.

Uh, don't forget about this.

OK, look,

I'm not really sure what I was expressing here.

Well, I see pain,

vulnerability, compassion, hope,

and lots of pent-up sexual tension.

A month is a long time to wait.

Look, "no fooling around" is rehab 101.

But technically, we're leaving, so...

So the wait is over.

I know I'm not, like, a, you know,

decorator extraordinaire, but you guys are gonna...

'Ey!

What's up, man?

You ready to bust out of this jawn?

Oh, you have no idea.

- Hey, son. - Dad.

- You look good. - Thank you.

- Is this everything? - Mm-hmm.

- Thanks. - Oh, yeah.

You leave your sweater? - Oh, wait, it...

Damn.

We got a lot to catch up on.

♪ Oh, yeah ♪

♪ Oh, yeah ♪

Hey, look, you better sample everything, see,

'cause we got all of your faves.

We got the baked crab hand rolls,

spicy tuna on crispy rice, albacore sashimi,

some sort of cucumber...

Look, I'm here for all of it.

This is the perfect welcome home.

My man.

Well, this tackiness, that was Will.

Hey, listen, I'm just happy I got my partner back.

You know, I was about to go to Red Lobster

and get them cheddar biscuits,

but someone said I was doing too much.

Yeah, the most.

Oh, wow. A lock on the wine cellar.

This is new.

Yeah, yeah.

Just a standard precaution the therapist suggested.

No big deal.

But there are some ground rules

we need to discuss.

Yeah, no, sure.

All right.

Let's bless this mess, shall we?

Carlton's home!

Whoo!

All right, so catch me up.

What did I miss? - Mm.

You know, been hitting practice hard,

getting ready for this summer tournament.

I literally just stepped off the plane.

So my week-long trip in Paris

turned into a month-long Europe vacation.

Well, your mother and I could use a vacation.

Work's been nonstop. - Oh, I heard.

I want to see the new office.

Oh, Uncle Phil's view is crazy.

And Aunt Viv has a whole crew and an assistant now.

Which is why we're not eating a home-cooked meal,

because I've had zero time.

And also, you don't cook.

That part.

Well, we're gonna start doing things different around here,

starting with having family dinners twice a week.

Mom.

I know, I know, everybody's busy.

But we need to be intentional about staying connected.

Speaking of which, is everyone excited

about the Juneteenth party this weekend?

I know I am.

Look, as Black as I grew up,

we never really celebrated it, so...

Well, that's because you weren't raised

in the Banks household. - OK?

We all got our Emancipation Day coloring books on Christmas.

So what about you, Ash?

You've been quiet.

I'm not exactly sure what to say.

Well, whatever's on your mind, Bumblebee.

OK, then...

I'd like to talk more about rehab.

Did it help?

Um, yeah, yeah.

Uh, it was tough.

But, you know, I faced some demons

and things I've been avoiding for years.

That's real talk. So Juneteenth,

are we wearing dashikis or head wraps...

Like, what specifically?

Like how I...

built my life on perception and lies.

But the most important thing I learned is that

you can't heal what you don't reveal.

So that's kind of my mantra now.

Easier said than done, maybe.

It's all part of the ground rules.

Don't even sweat it.

Remember when they took off my door in seventh grade?

Let's see, you getting caught going to second base with Mason

and me blowing rails in the closet.

Sixes?

Here.

I got this in Saint Paul de Vence

when I was visiting what's left of James Baldwin's house.

"Sonny's Blues."

You know, I was hoping for some French porn,

but classic lit about a heroin addict,

that's fun too.

Look, a lot has happened,

and I'm still trying to catch up.

Carlton, I am so sorry

that I wasn't there for you like I should have been.

It's fine.

No. It's not.

I guess I just thought that everyone was doing it

and you'd be fine.

You can't blame yourself for my choices, though.

But, you know, if there is anything you ever need...

Um, one thing, actually.

Look out for Ash.

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you too.

And did you see his face when he saw the wine cellar?

I mean, I know what the therapist said,

but hell, he probably doesn't even have kids.

It's only day one

and someone's already going soft.

Look, I know that discipline is important,

but I've always been the bad cop.

Well, maybe me being too easy on him is what got us here.

So can we both agree that we don't know

what the hell we're doing?

You know, with Hilary back,

Carlton home,

it feels good to all be together.

That feels good too.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

- 'Cause I can keep going. - Mm.

Oh, baby, I'm beat.

And I still have a few hours of work left.

OK.

But, you know, Viv,

it's been weeks. - What?

- Yeah. - Stop.

Not since Carlton left for rehab.

Damn.

Are we becoming one of those couples

that have to schedule in sex?

Well, if that's what it takes,

we can sync our calendars right now.

You know what, how 'bout we get through this party,

and then think we can have our own celebration?

Hmm?

Clothing optional.

Ooh, I like that.

OK. - OK.

All right.

Let's do it.

♪ I been chasing that check ♪

All right, you got to tell me,

who was shorty hiding behind the door?

Oh, yeah, Amira.

Amira?

OK, so we pulled up at rehab at around the same time,

and we just vibed, like, immediately.

How are you and Lisa doing?

Ah, man, she's been in the "no labels" tip,

but we've been kicking it at the country club.

You don't strike me as a country clubber.

Yeah, man, that's my spot. I'm not gon' lie.

Hey, yo, and they got your boy playing pickleball.

- Oh, God, no. - Nah, for real.

I've been meeting a whole rack of new people.

Oh, Quentin Harrison.

Yeah, we be hooping from time to time.

The MMA fighter?

Well, he's retired, but yeah.

He's like a billionaire now, bro.

He owns his own venture capital firm.

He's been running a program for kids

who want to start their own businesses.

He gives them mentorship training,

access to his resources.

I'm about to be all over that.

Wow, business and basketball?

Hey, listen, man, I'm trying to be on my King James

before I turn 25. - Ah.

I don't know, man,

Bel-Air really is starting to feel like home.

Yo, that's nice to hear. I'm happy for you, man.

I'm still laser focused on Princeton, though.

I'm waiting to hear back from the summer program.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ms. Bassin been pushing me with some alum contacts.

I got an interview lined up.

Oh, fuck! OK!

Yeah, we about to have summer on lock.

Bah!

Number 32.

- That's us. - Yeah.

No, but seriously, bro,

I'm super, super excited for you to meet Quentin.

I feel like you guys' personalities is just gonna...

Lou?

Will?

Yo, Will!

I'm glad we're back

to outranking the ladies around here.

Been battling your mother and your sister

over boxing versus "The Real Housewives."

Eh, don't sleep on Potomac.

The Grand Dame is everything.

Look, son, I...

I know this isn't easy,

but you have come a long way,

and I'm very proud of you.

Thanks.

So Lou never left LA.

Apparently, he's been renting a place,

operating out of a barber shop in Inglewood.

Yeah, my mom said she had no idea either.

So what's he even want?

At the moment, it would appear nothing.

How is he in the same town as his son

and doesn't reach out?

I just don't get it. - Sounds like Lou being Lou.

If he does try to reach out, let us know immediately.

I appreciate that, but I'm good.

Look, trust me, I don't need any extra supervision

when it comes to this guy.

I'm late for practice.

So wait, Monica and Phanta just dipped?

Girl, the longer your vacation extended,

the more restless they got.

You know these hoes ain't loyal.

Ivy, I worked my ass off for this house.

Influencer houses are a dying breed anyway, OK?

Summer is the season of change, and it's time to level up.

And, girl, let me tell you, you already are.

Look at all this stuff they're sending you, OK?

They are kissing your ass right now.

I did not know Versace made oven mitts.

I told you my European tour wasn't all pleasure.

LaMarcus introduced me to all these Michelin star chefs.

I documented it all on socials.

It really made me realize how much I miss cooking.

Your star is rising, Hil.

And I've never seen you happier.

I don't know, when I'm with LaMarcus, it just flows.

I got on that plane very unsure,

but I got off more in love than ever.

What?

OK, since you stepped in this house,

two things have been clear:

A, you're glowing,

and B, you're hiding something.

There's nothing to tell.

Hmm, OK.

For the record, Baby Ivy has a nice ring to it.

Girl, bye.

Unarmed.

Armed. Simple tips.

Shall I run it by you again? - No, no.

I got it the first two times, G.

Thank you.

We should also beef up the security cameras

on the outside, you know?

Did you get more photos?

No.

So everything's been quiet?

For now.

So maybe all this isn't even necessary.

Look, G,

you've been going through a lot right now, brother.

You don't need to go through it alone.

It's OK to relax.

Look, I know it was a risk bringing Frederick here

a few months ago.

You and Viv warned me not to. It's just...

He's your son, and you needed to see him.

It's not safe back in London either.

I'm afraid his visit may have alerted someone from my past

about my whereabouts, Phil.

And until I know who it is and what they want,

a man ain't relaxing, you get me?

You do what you need to do.

I'll get started outside.

Hey, uh, does the orange and black tie

look like I'm trying too hard?

Mrs. Bassin called.

The Princeton meeting got canceled.

Wait, what happened?

The alumni who was backing you

pulled his endorsement.

People talk.

Bassin thinks with a little more time and distance

they could be open again.

You know, life was a hell of a lot easier

when I was a closet junkie.

You took a step to get better,

a very public step, but there's no shame in that.

Princeton disagrees.

I know it's hard,

but there are consequences to your actions.

Not everybody is jumping at the chance to give you

the benefit of the doubt right now.

Let's go. Let's go, Smith. Show me something.

Come on, Will!

Come on, man.

Let's go. Let's go, let's go.

You gon' play today?

Whoa, whoa!

Get back on defense, man!

Get through, get through.

Get back.

Will?

Sup, Will?

How come you never reached out to me?

I didn't want you to see me locked up in a damn cage.

- Fuck what you wanted. - I know you're angry.

Think you can walk up in here

and make all those years of lying disappear?

I didn't come here to be disrespected.

You ain't earned no respect!

Fuck!

Smith, Smith, get off the floor, man.

J, go in for him.

Yo, we got the Vegas tournament in two days.

Big stage, a lot of eyes on you.

I know!

I'm fucking up. I'm sorry. - What's going on?

Coach, practice was supposed to be over 45 minutes ago.

It would have been over 45 minutes ago

if you had your head in the game.

Where are you right now?

It's just...

It's... it's nothing.

But look, I promise I'ma be good for Vegas.

You better be.

Man, get out my gym.

Swing it.

Hey, hey.

You missed it.

Come on. I'm only six minutes late.

We were ahead of schedule.

The last interview finished ten minutes ago.

Sorry. - I'll meet you there.

Q.

I mean, Quentin. Mr. Harrison. I got tied up.

If there's any way I could possibly make up

or come back tomorrow, or we could...

A lot of impressive young people

showed up here today on time,

business plans, big ideas, ready to go.

No excuses.

Well, look, it's just that Coach,

you know, he held practice long.

Mm, practice.

We got this big game coming up in Las Vegas.

OK. No, it's all good, bro. I get it.

Maybe this just ain't your thing.

I'll catch you on the court, though.

Sorry about Princeton, man.

Sorry about your interview.

Yeah.

I guess no one wants to gamble on an addict.

Man, who do we have to pull up on

to plead your case?

I don't know, maybe I can pull out

some of my Will Smith magic.

There's no "we."

I'm the one who fucked his life up so bad

that the one college I've been dreaming of since I was a kid

isn't even an option.

Dude, you can't give up that easy.

Stop trying to fix my problems

and focus on your own.

What are you talking about?

Do you think it's just a coincidence

that you had a shitty practice and missed your interview?

It's got nothing to do with finding out

your dad's been living here for months?

I don't give a fuck about Lou.

Learn something from what I've been through.

All right, you can shove that shit way down,

but it won't go away.

I guess I just wanted Carlton's comeback

to be a good one.

I feel like I'm letting my guy down, you know?

You're doing everything you can.

Not enough to keep him from going on that stage

and blowing his life up.

We've carried his secret for way too long.

Me longer than you.

And I think he did us all a favor

when he went up on that stage.

And his journey is gonna be his...

And my journey's mine.

I'm sorry, bruh, we closed up early today.

Looking good, son.

Strong.

Hey, man, have a seat. Let me... let me get you right.

Now, how you been here this whole time and ain't say shit?

I was gonna reach out.

I just, uh...

I just needed to get settled first, that's all...

You look pretty settled to me.

And then I look up, and boom, there you are.

It's like God's way of forcing us together.

Like, ready or not. - No, don't put that on God.

Look,

the way things went down between us before...

My mind wasn't right.

And I knew I had to get my life in order

so I could step to you correctly

the next time I saw you.

That's why you stayed?

Yeah.

So my son could see a better man.

That's pretty much it.

I've been watching your team, man.

Y'all been balling.

That three-pointer's wet,

and that fadeaway jump shot, unguardable.

You a bad boy, Will Smith.

Hey.

Check this out.

- This you? - MVP.

Lou Smith.

Boy!

You couldn't tell me nothing back in the day.

What?

Everybody wanted a piece of me...

colleges, coaches, women,

man, they was all over me.

You played.

Yeah, why you think it's in your DNA?

I used to love ball. That was my way out the hood.

I used to think it was mine too.

What you mean, "used to"?

I got options now.

Huh!

You got options now? All right.

You got options.

You got them Bel-Air options, huh?

I want something better for myself,

and you think that's funny?

I'm for damn sure dreaming bigger

than a fucking barber shop.

Yeah, that's cool.

That's cool.

I don't drive a fancy car.

I don't live in a big-ass crib.

But I ain't taking no handouts either.

See, everything I got, son, I work for mine.

And I just hope my son does the same.

See, they are filling your head about chasing a world

that don't want us no way.

Sometimes your best option is looking you in your face.

Don't be so quick to throw out everything that you are.

I didn't come here for advice.

But you came.

Take care, Lou.

But I also wanted to say thank you.

For what?

I had a lot of rock bottom moments.

But after what I did to you,

I realized that if I could hurt someone

that I loved that much, then, um...

You helped me come clean.

To get onstage and ruin your life.

You saved my life, Ash.

I get that you're not really feeling me right now,

so, uh, take as much time as you need.

I'll be right here.

It is good to see you smiling.

I just wanna enjoy this vibe with you

before I have to get on that bus at the crack of dawn.

Hey, Carlton.

Hey.

Hey, Hilary just put out her freedom cakes.

Yeah.

"Freedom cakes"?

They're just red velvet cupcakes.

Listen, I said some harsh words yesterday.

Some things I needed to hear.

I'm actually glad I went to go talk to him.

And listen, man, I'm sorry I've been a little extra.

Just wanna make sure you're good.

And I want the dynamic duo back for the summer, you feel me?

Um, I think you're doing pretty well on your own.

I think you fit in better around here than I do now.

Oh, I'm not sure that's a good thing.

You know, my dad invited

a bunch of his country club friends tonight,

including Quentin.

Nah, that ship has sailed, bro.

Like my mom says, rejection is God's protection.

Nah.

I mean, like, see, my summer is fucked,

but there might still be some hope for yours.

Plus, it's not too late for me to work

a little bit of my Carlton Banks magic.

Yeah, that's not a thing.

Oh, shit. She's here.

I'll be right back.

Hey. - Hi.

I didn't think you were gonna make it.

I did get your SOS.

So how are you doing?

So much better now that you're here.

Come on.

Oh, right on time.

Mom, Dad, I would love for you to meet my friend, Amira.

Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Banks.

- Welcome. Welcome, Amira. - Yes.

It's so nice to meet you.

Carlton talked about you so much in rehab,

I feel like I already know you.

- Oh, wow, you met at rehab? - Mm-hmm.

Hey, let me introduce you to Will and Lisa.

- Yeah. - Come on.

- Bye. - Bye-bye.

He said they were just friends. I wouldn't put too much on it.

OK.

Now, you better slow down on that mac and cheese.

No promises.

Yo, Black 4th of July is fire.

I know, right?

And I had zero faith Mom and Dad

could pull it off without me.

And where'd they find the DJ?

You know Jazz set that up.

Yeah, girl, you ain't the only one with connections.

I'm surprised he'd help out at all,

I mean, the way you dumped him.

Uh! I'm sorry, whose side are you on?

- Jazz. - Jazz, all day.

OK, well, you guys need to get over it and move on,

'cause I definitely have.

That's what I'm talking about.

Well, that's good, 'cause Jazz actually just walked in.

Girl, did you see who just walked in?

- I did. - OK, but did you see

who he was with? - Yes, Ivy, I seent it.

I have eyes. I've seen all the things.

Mm.

Juneteenth just got hella interesting.

- Oh, hi, Amira. - Hi.

Hope you're enjoying yourself.

Yes, I am. Thank you.

Feels good to be out.

Oh, I'm sure the experience

for you and Carlton wasn't easy.

No, but having a friend to go through it with always helps.

- "Always"? - Repeat offender.

I'm sorry, I thought Carlton might have told you.

No, he didn't.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that Carlton is so great.

He's really committed to doing the work.

What about you?

You must be aware that relationships

during the early stages of sobriety aren't recommended.

I'm just trying to be a friend when he needs me.

Carlton's family plans to support him.

My advice?

Prioritize yourself right now.

Let Carlton do the same.

Excuse me, Mr. Harrison.

Hey, I'm Carlton Banks. Wanted to introduce myself.

OK. Nice to meet you, bro.

Will probably didn't mention this,

but I'm a recovering addict.

Fresh out of rehab, actually. 40 days sober.

That's quite an intro.

Look, since he moved here,

Will has been thrown some crazy curveballs,

but he just keeps on thriving.

You know, it used to piss me off, actually.

He has this resilience that I wish I had.

- That's dope. - He just keeps going.

Even though he's going through his own mess,

he keeps trying to help me through mine.

But people always write him off

just 'cause they don't know him.

I get that.

You know, people take one look at me

and they see the tattoos, see the drip,

they think they got me all figured out,

until they read about me in "Forbes."

Yeah, see, exactly. Like, that is Will all day.

You know, he's just trying to be a better version

of what people think he can be.

In a way, I guess we kind of all are.

Anyway, just wanted to give you a different side of things.

I appreciate that.

♪ I just wanna ride with you ♪

Oh, about time.

Welcome back.

How was your flight? - Great, but I'm starving.

What's the score?

It's 2-1. Slapping 'em still.

Yes, yes.

♪ In every stream ♪

Hey.

Hey.

Look,

I know we haven't talked in a while,

and I just...

I wanted to apologize

for how everything went down between us.

It's cool.

Look, I'm sorry I hurt you, Jazz.

Hurt?

Never that.

It honestly wasn't even that shocking.

I mean, you are a coward.

Excuse me?

Hilary, every time something in life gets hard,

you run.

You ran from college, your job. You ran from us.

You're a runner. You're a track star.

Flo-Jo all day.

But it's only a matter of time

before you run away from that nigga too.

I gotta tell you, Mr. Banks,

I had the trip of my life with Hilary.

There are no words to describe how I feel.

I... I respect her.

And I was... I was...

I was hoping that I...

Baby, how about we do it together?

- Yeah. - Come on.

- Wait, in front of everybody? - Yeah.

DJ, can I have that mic, please?

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Hey, guys. Hi, hi, hi, hi.

Sorry, everybody.

Hate to interrupt, but I wanted to take a moment

because me and LaMarcus have a very special announcement.

OK.

Last week, right in front of the Trevi Fountain,

I got down on one knee...

and asked the love of my life to marry me.

And I said yes!

What? What?

What?

I knew your ass was hiding something.

Let me see. Ooh!

For what it's worth, I was rooting for you.

Yo, Q.

I didn't know you were still here.

Couldn't leave without saying peace to y'all, man.

And telling you how impressed I am with both of you.

Your cousin here defended your honor

like his life depended on that shit.

He did?

I haven't seen anyone ride that hard for someone

in a long time.

That's real partnership right there.

Whoever says you don't get a second chance

to make a first impression never met y'all.

Uh, so what are you saying?

What I'm saying is,

if you would consider teaming up,

final spot in Young, Gifted, and Black is yours.

- Oh, shit. - What?

Yeah, of course!

Yes! Yes.

Yo, thank you so much.

You know, not a lot of people

want to take a chance on me right now.

Those stories are part of you.

Ain't no shame in that.

Don't hide your scars, man.

A'ight, Q.

- Yes, sir. - Take it easy.

- Big love. - Yeah.

Oh, shit.

Yo!

Hey, Mom, have you got a minute?

Sure.

Something wrong?

Well, you tell me.

Since I've been back home,

I feel like we've barely even talked.

I'm sorry, things have just been so busy around here.

Well, you weren't too busy to talk to Amira.

First, she leaves without saying goodbye,

and then I get a text saying that

you told her we shouldn't be friends?

I didn't say that exactly.

Mom.

Look, why didn't you just ask me?

Because I'm still struggling with everything

that comes out of your mouth, Carlton,

including the fact that you and Amira

just want to be friends.

OK, well...

You know, while you were gone,

I had a lot of time to think about

every single lie you told me right to my face.

My bullshit meter kept going off repeatedly.

I just found a million ways to ignore it

because I wanted to see the best in my son

who took advantage of that.

Look,

I know I won't be able to make you trust me again.

More than me not trusting you.

I just don't trust myself.

Hey, G. What's up?

I paid Lou a little visit.

- Oh. - Mm.

Right after you.

- Because you're Geoffrey. - Mm-hmm.

He wanted you to have some things,

but you don't need to do anything with it now.

Not until you're ready.

It's a start, Will.

You want to talk about it?

Look, the only reason

I didn't tell you where I was going is because

I didn't want you to be worried about me.

You got enough going on with Carlton.

We're family.

I'm here for you too, Will.

Hmm, point guard.

Varsity champ, all-state MVP.

Just like you, huh?

Man, I don't want to be nothing like him!

And the way that he lit up

when he talked about the game, it's like...

it's like his dream is baked into mine.

He's proud of you, Will.

Any father would be.

Yeah, but he thinks chasing after anything else

is a waste of my talent.

Look, me and Lou, we came up in a time

when sports was the golden ticket out

for a lot of Black boys.

You know, sometimes, anything else, it seemed...

it seemed like a long shot.

And what if it is?

You forged your own path.

You don't need to be limited in that kind of thinking.

Yeah, but being here...

with you and Aunt Viv,

seeing what you all have built,

my world just feels bigger.

Like there's more out there for me, you know?

That's why you're so excited about this thing with Quentin.

Yeah.

I want to see what else I'm capable of.

But...

you know, summer before senior year is crucial.

Coaches, college looks.

There's a lot of ways to get to college, Will,

and whatever it is you do on or off the court

is in your reach.

I want to reach.

Then reach.

A summer without basketball.

You good?

I am.

You know, we're really about to start a business together.

You, uh, got any ideas?

A million.

Whoo!

This season on "Bel-Air"...

♪ Welcome to LA, welcome to LA ♪

We about to have the summer of our lives.

What's up with y'all idea?

You wanna let the ladder down, lift the culture up.

Same axis that changed my life.

Team Blackccess!

I don't have the energy to compete with

whatever it is you still got going on with Jackie.

Are you in love with Jazz?

What? No.

What me and LaMarcus have is rock solid.

Did you tell her about the kiss?

Let's keep the past in the past.

It'll be our secret.

My parents are not getting divorced.

I just haven't had the energy to do anything else but feel.

If I know you and Viv, you'll get through this.

Caleb and I opened up our marriage,

and it changed my life. - Girl.

Not everyone in the neighborhood

want this to go forward.

This project's gonna get a lot messier.

I might even lose my record shop.

I can talk to Uncle Phil.

Your uncle wants what's best for his client, not me.

You still don't give a fuck that Uncle Phil

might be a part of the problem.

Just wanna make my family proud of me.

So I say that I'm all good,

but I think I'm still lying.

- Oh, my God, Carlton. - Call 911.
