Previously on "Bel-Air"...

My pieces, they have
something powerful to say.

If this is unbecoming of
the Neeman Fellowship,

then so am I.

You don't get to say "nigger."

None of y'all do.

Well, I'm pretty
sure I just said it.

I did not send the video.

I can't even believe you
would accuse me of that.

You had me and Carlton out
here beefing when it was you.

Oh, but can you
prove it, though?



We'd like to bring you
in as an equity partner.

You can create whatever future

you envision for yourself.

So are you seriously
considering this?

I think I have to.

But Doc told me not
to count myself out.

At least he believes in me.

We'll see how much Doc
still believes in you

when I stop putting money in
his bank account every month.

- Let go of me!
- Relax.

You don't know shit
about me, Will.

It's not gonna work
for me anymore, Will.

- So what are you saying?
- We can't be friends anymore.

The school is claiming
one of your classmates



told her parents
they saw Ms. Hughes

giving books that weren't a part

of the approved curriculum.

I can't do this anymore.

So this is how it ends?

I guess so.

OK, how's this?

"And while my comments were
in no way meant to tarnish

"the reputation of
the Neeman Fellowship,

"I do wholeheartedly stand
by my opinions and apologize

for any harm I may have
caused the organization."

It's good that you're
standing by your principles.

You shouldn't have to
apologize for talking

about what you believe in.

Yeah, I mean, what's
the worst they can do,

cancel your fellowship?

You think they could do that?

- It's not gonna happen.
- Good morning.

- Morning, Dad.
- Morning, Phil.

OK, gotta get going, y'all.

I don't wanna be
late to the gym.

So I walk in a room,
and you walk out.

- How long are we gonna do this?
- I'm cool.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

Come on, your violin
lesson's starting soon.

You know, when you came
back in this house,

you wanted more independence.

And I promised to support that.

But if that support is
feeling more like control,

then I'm gonna ease up.

Yeah, so from now on,
I'm gonna let you decide

when you need my help.

That's all I wanted, just a
little bit of space to do me.

Then you got it.

You're in the driver's seat now.

- Just like that?
- Just like that.

Oh, hallelujah.

And I know you got your first
game with Zenith Hype later.

Geoffrey and I will
be front and center.

You know I would be
there if it wasn't

for this Neeman meeting.

It's all good. Just
catch the highlight reel.

You know I'm gonna
drop 30 on them.

I really gotta get out of here.

I guess two
reconciliations in one day

is too much to ask for, huh?

Well, it helps to
start with an apology.

Oh, wow. You're
taking his side.

How unexpected.

You OK, son?

Yeah, it's just a nosebleed.

The air's just super dry.

Well, do you want me
to get you a tissue?

No, no, no, no, I
got it. It's fine.

more than great.

Um...

thanks for getting me
home the other night.

I know I got a
little out of pocket.

I'm not even sure what I said.

I can remember a few things.

Mm.

- Sorry.
- It's all good.

We all got something
we're going through.

I get it.

I'm ready to share
a little bit more,

if you're still interested.

- If I'm still interested?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, I'm definitely
still interested.

Good.

Swing by and pick me
up after work tomorrow?

It's a date.

Hey, do you know why Brian's
not on the team anymore?

Can't get a straight
answer from anybody.

Yeah, let's... Let's
talk about that too.

OK, well, I'll see you then.

OK.

Gotta get going. Here
comes your uncle.

- Good luck.
- West Philly in the building.

- Big things, baby.
- What's up, Coach?

- Ready to do it?
- Yes, sir.

What was that about?

He's just excited to be
starting in the game.

Hmm.

Be careful.

Don't say too much.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the
Zenith Hype arena.

I see Frederick made it back.

Sorry it had to be
such a quick visit.

It's all good. It
was the safest way.

I can't thank you and Viv
enough for making it happen.

Hey, no thanks needed.

I know my focus
has been off lately

with all that's been going
on, but I want you to know

that I'm back 100%, Phil.

Glad to hear it.

Meet tomorrow's college
stars and NBA pros today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Smith, let me holler
at you real quick.

- Hey, circle up, everybody.
- What's up, Coach?

I see the work you've
been putting in.

You stay grinding
around the clock.

I'm proud of you.
You ruled in Philly.

Now it's time to take
the throne in LA.

Yes, sir.

- Bam. Clap it up.
- Fo' sho'.

- 14.
- That's what's up.

Yo, why did you pick 14?

My mom, she had me on
the 14th at 4:14 p.m.

Just reminds me of the day
I came into this world, man.

Been ballin' ever since.

Born in Philly, born in Bel-Air.

And now you're
rockin' it with us!

Yeah!

- That's right, born in Philly.
- That's what's up.

All right, y'all,
it's almost game time.

We've got a full
house out there.

Compton is coming
for your necks.

I say you go out there
and earn your respect.

And better yet, go out
there and take that shit.

Because that's what
the fuck we do.

- Yes, sir!
- Let's go.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, boss.

Um...

It's afternoon, actually.

You feeling pantsy or skirty?

What are you all doing?

We're getting you up
and out of this room.

Usually, you've worked out,
dressed yourself impeccably,

and made us all
breakfast by now.

Yeah, Phanta tried but
couldn't figure out

how to turn the stove on.

Look, we get it, OK?

Breakups are hard.

But Simply Spiked and
those posts with LaMarcus

got us some real visibility.

Yeah, we've only come
this far because of you.

So let's build on that momentum.

You know, we need
our boss back, Hil.

And also, we're hungry.

So...

- Skirty.

Let's go!

I wanted y'all to play like
a team, and we did that.

I wanted that motherfucking
dub, and we did that.

- We did that!
- Yeah!

Zenith Hype! Zenith Hype!

Is Janice not joining us?

No, it's just us as
heads of the board.

We felt what we have to say
is best said in private.

Look, I know that my
comments were harsh.

Antiquated, conservative,
out of touch,

those were your words.

Sometimes the truth
is hard to hear.

The truth?

Your IG presence has
already opened up

a wider and younger audience.

We know Janice's criticisms
have been stifling,

but she doesn't
speak for all of us.

We see you as the future.

Wait, so you're not here to
strip me of the fellowship?

No.

We want to offer you the
executive director position.

But isn't that Janice's title?

Yes.

It's time for a change.

And it's yours if you want it.

Will put the Philly
heat on them.

Listen, that boy can play.

Yeah, I'm really proud of him.

He'... he's amazing.

Hold up.

I wonder what that's about.

- Huh?
- I'll look into it.

I'm out.

Thanks for your help, Lisa.

You let me know how
that test goes, OK?

Will do.

Hey.

Hey, you're here early.

Yeah, well, I knew
that you'd be tutoring,

and I wanted to catch
you before class.

For you.

A swimmer charm?

This is beautiful.

But what's the occasion?

Well, I'm still in the
Founder's Award race.

Because what you said tapped
into what people want to hear.

Well, and you're always the one

encouraging me to
speak my truth.

And no matter who's against
me, you always have my back.

I'll always be there for you.

You know that.

I just wanted to show you how
much I appreciate you, Lis.

You mean the world to
me, and I don't know

what I'd do without you.

Thanks.

All right, I'll catch you later.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's good. Thank you.

Hey, look what I
got, vintage 1964.

- Oh, come on now.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, I can hear Derek now.

"Black folks didn't
get full rights

under the law until 1964."

"That's why it's
the only vintage

we're gonna drink every year."

That's right.

I wish you were
still here, brother.

Yeah, me too.

You know, about the
Garrison account...

No, no, no, no.

Today is about memory
and celebration only.

Today is about Derek.

Right, right, but
you still think

that this tribute is a good idea

given all the acquisition talk?

Yeah, I mean, even more so.

We've got to remind people
why me, you, and Derek

started the firm in
the first place, right?

I think they need
to hear from us.

No, they need to
hear from you, Phil.

And I need to empty this bottle.

Hey, Lis. Hold up.

So how was class?

Yo, C.

Listen, man, we got to talk.

We're doing that now, huh?

No, no, no, but it's...
This is important.

Look, Drew is the one who
leaked the locker room video.

What?

Yes, he basically admitted
it straight to my face.

And the only reason
I'm telling you

is because him and Lisa
are linked up right now.

What... I thought she
was done with him.

No, man, I guess she
gave him a second chance.

I just saw them together.

Look, man, you got to
tell her what's up.

- Me?
- Yes.

Me and Lisa, we're not
on good terms right now.

You know?

If I tell her, it will look
like I'm being a hater,

but you guys are friends, OK?

She's got to know what type
of guy she's fucking with.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'll talk to her.

Good, see you later.

Uh, hey, look, Will.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

That's not worth shit.

To the Neeman Fellowship's
next executive director.

OK, I have not accepted
the position yet.

Oh, you could do whatever
you want with it now.

I mean, you could carve out
some time for your own artwork

and help new talent.

♪ No place that
I'd rather be ♪

Now, why aren't
you more excited?

It's Janice.

It's not like she's a
friend, but I feel like

I'm stabbing a
sister in the back.

OK, look, I respect what Janice

has done in the art world.

But let's just be honest here.

I mean, she should have
retired a long time ago.

I mean, somebody's
going to get that job.

Why not you?

I just need to think about
it a bit more, I guess.

OK, that's fair.

I mean, let's just
not talk about Janice.

Let's talk about the real
reason why I came over.

Erika Baker is in LA.
So what's the plan?

We gon' track that
bitch down, key her car,

and slash her tires?

OK, stop it.

She still owes me
$20 in gas money.

- I have not forgotten.
- We're not in college anymore.

And after what
she's done to you?

That's just water
under the bridge?

We are grown and
sophisticated women.

Fine.

I mean, you want to
take the high road.

I mean, it's boring, but OK.

Look, she and Phil have a
professional connection now.

And I'm trying to give him
the space to just work it out.

Hmm.

What I see is, you
are trying to be

considerate of everyone else,
I mean, Janice, Erika, Phil.

And while you're so busy putting

everyone else's feelings first,
who's dealing with yours?

Hmm?

For your project,
each team will build

a functional robot capable
of completing three tasks.

You all can pick
whatever tasks those are.

The teams will be as follows:

Madison and Sophia,
Luke and Kaya,

Ashley and Olivia...

Mason and Justin,

Akasha and Laila, Jim and Fred.

♪ Trying to see
if she like me ♪

♪ Maybe she could
be my wifey ♪

Damn, I love your spot.

It's not put together yet.

Just moved in a week ago;
all I need is some furniture

and a woman's touch.

I remember your first
place in Santa Monica,

the townhouse.

I bought it with my
rookie signing bonus.

Mm-hmm, and you could
not stop smiling.

Kind of like now.

- Are you fucking kidding me?
- You up for a dip?

I know your ass still
look good in a bikini.

I'm here for business.

All right, cool.

We could start with that.

OK, so I'm looking to get
more engagement for the house.

And I have some football
cross-promotion ideas.

I would love to talk
to you about them.

Look at you being a boss.

Well, it's no billboard
on Sunset, but I'm trying.

Billboard?

Yeah, my business partner, Ivy,

she has product lines and merch.

And she's always bragging
that they're gonna

give her some
billboard on Sunset

for her nasty-ass water, H2Ivy.

Gotcha, OK.

So how can I help?

So I created a
business strategy.

If you like it, maybe
you can connect me

with your marketing people?

Done.

Wait, don't you want
to look at it first?

They're your ideas, so I
already know it's brilliant.

Yo, Gerry, it's LaMarcus Alton.

Hey, you got a minute?

When James, Derek, and I
decided to start this firm,

we made a pact that we would
watch out for each other

and that we were gonna
change the world.

We made a promise that we were
gonna kick down those doors

that were closed to us,

so that the next generation
wouldn't have to.

Not everyone wanted to see
three brothers succeed.

We alternated
paying our mortgages

just to keep this place afloat.

Mm-hmm.

So when we lost Derek to
a massive heart attack,

we thought that might
be the end of the firm.

But we fought harder, because
we know that our brother

would have wanted
us to run this race,

even though he couldn't
be here to cross

the finish line with us.

Which is why we gather here
every year in his name,

to recognize the
day of his passing

and pay tribute to how far
we've all come together.

- To Derek.
- To Derek.

To Derek.

I'll catch you later.

See ya.

Were you ever gonna tell
me about you and Drew?

People change.

You should know that
better than anyone.

- He's not who you think he is.
- What's that supposed to mean?

He's the one that airdropped
the locker room video of me.

What? That's ridiculous.

Is it?

Ever since I came to the BSU,

the dude's been trying
to ruin my fucking life.

Carlton, stop.

Why are you defending him?

Because I think I know
what this is about.

If I led you to believe
that we were anything

more than friends, I'm sorry.

But that is all that
we will ever be.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you're so
desperate to get over Will

that you're willing to
jump the first asshole

that pays you any attention.

Fuck you.

I knew you could use it.

I could use a little more.

All right, follow me.

Come on.

Let's go.

Hey, you need some help?

No, thanks.

Are you sure?

I've been driving my dad's car.

I don't... he was
supposed to take it

in the shop, and he didn't.

And now I'm stuck.

Well, I could, uh...

give you a ride
home if you want.

I'm not going home.

I'm going to the hospital.

Angela's in labor.

- Shit, like right now?
- Yes.

Well, come on. I
can give you a ride.

I'm good.

Lisa, I'm not just
gonna let you sit here.

I said I'm fine, Will.

OK.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

You're late.

I wasn't even sure you'd show.

I think we should make a
robot that sorts recyclables.

I was thinking a cleaning
robot that sweeps floors.

Let's just see
what parts we have.

So have you talked to her?

Who?

Mrs. Hughes.

Why do you care?

She was my favorite teacher too.

Then why'd you snitch on her?

I would never do that.

- It wasn't me.
- It wasn't?

I used to be her favorite,

so I was a little jealous that
she was giving you attention.

That's all.

Oh, my bad.

I shouldn't have
jumped to conclusions.

I guess that makes two of us.

I thought you were a
stuck-up mean girl.

That's not me at all.

I'm just kind of shy.

I get that. I am too.

The cleaning robot seems good.

Maybe it will clean
my room for me.

Yeah.

So these are your
new friends now?

You jealous?

We met at a girl's pool party.

We hang out every now and then.

Yo, I left all my
shit in the car,

so let's just get
in and get out.

OK, they said,
"Come on in now."

You were right.

I'm glad we did this today.

It felt good.

Well, as usual, everyone
responds to you.

I hope we made our
brother Derek proud.

I'm sure he would
have had a lot to say

about that fake-ass tribute.

I just got an interesting call.

You know, our law
world is small, Phil.

And the Black
one's even smaller.

What, did you think I
wasn't gonna find out?

My meeting with Carson & Lake.

Yeah, you called me out about
having a secret meeting.

And it seems like you've
been having some of your own.

It's an old friend, Erika Baker.

She's a partner there.

Damn, Phil.

I mean, brother,
you're a big part

of why we're in this position.

Now you're just going to bail
and look out for yourself?

She asked me to
come in. All right?

It was just an
introduction to the team.

OK, so, you're not
considering a real offer?

Well, congratulations.

You just fooled
everyone into thinking

that you still care
about this place.

You didn't have to come inside.

Yeah, well, it
didn't seem like you

wanted to walk in alone, so...

A baby brother.

That's cool, right?

I don't know.

It's weird.

My dad's rebuilt a new life,
a new wife, a new baby.

It's like I'm on the outside

watching a whole other family
spring up that isn't mine.

Um...

You know what?

It's cool.

I can hang.

Come in.

Viv, wow, what a surprise.

God, it's... it's been forever.

Wow, you look fantastic.

Oh, are we really
gonna play that game?

I assume you want to talk
about Phil's opportunity here.

If Phil's gonna take a job here,

we need to have a come to Jesus.

I was thinking about Mom,
and the car wouldn't start

and Will came, and now your
car is stranded at school.

Hey, hey, don't worry.
I'll take care of it.

Today is supposed to
be a happy occasion.

Yeah, for you and Angela.

And you.

We're all family, sweetheart.

It doesn't matter.

We don't even need to
talk about this now.

You have other priorities.

Lisa, you are my priority.

Almost time to push.

We'll finish this. I promise.

Hey.

Thanks.

There was no question.

I want you back.

Like, I miss you.

And I know you got a man, so
I don't mean any disrespect.

But I hope he's coming correct.

Because I know I am for
as long as it takes.

I'm not losing you again.

I think you just left me
speechless twice in one day.

Well, then I'm off
to a good start.

Thank you.

All right, let me take a
photo of you in front of you.

OK.

Let's go. Come on.

Hey, sorry to break
the news, brother,

but you're stuck with me.

What does that mean?

Well, today,
remembering our history,

seeing what we built...

I'm always going to do what's
best for our firm's future.

I promise.

So no more secret
meetings for either of us?

From now on, it's
just you and me.

We'll take a look at the
terms of this acquisition,

and we'll work it out.

No matter what,

I'm on your side.

We started this together.

Let's finish it together.

Yeah.

All these years, our history,
why didn't you come to me?

Well, we're not in the habit

of asking spousal permission
before making an offer.

Oh, cut the bullshit,
Erika, out of respect.

It's not like you
don't have a pattern.

That was a long time ago.

Oh, so you're not the
same woman who slept

with her best
friend's boyfriend?

I know that narrative
makes good gossip.

But we both know you
and Phil were on a break

when he and I started dating.

You were my line sister.
In what world is that OK?

Phil didn't have
a problem with it.

We worked through that.

Exactly, because it was college.

Everyone was
on-again, off-again.

But you two were on again
for the next two years.

We were an important
relationship

for each other, yes.

But ultimately, things didn't
work out, and you got the guy.

- You won.
- Oh, I know.

I just need to make
sure that moving forward

whatever Phil decides, you
don't have another agenda.

My interest in Philip is
strictly professional.

You have my word.

You better hope that
means something this time.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, what the fuck?

Hey, Connor?

Oh, fuck.

Guys?

What the fuck?

Where the fuck are you?

Oh, fuck.

What the fuck?

Where the fuck is my car?

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

What happened?

Um...

uh...

Connor and I were
hanging out after school.

OK, and?

And um...

And...

and he has a fake.

And so we grabbed a few beers.

Oh, my... drinking?

Carlton, really.

I only had like,
half a beer, Mom.

I swear, I swear, and
I wasn't even buzzed.

But I was driving home,

and I started feeling nauseous

and disoriented.

And so I pulled over to
the side of the road,

and I... I started walking.

Right, I was walking.

And I just kept
walking and walking.

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

I don't even remember where
I parked the car, Mom.

I left my phone and
wallet in there.

And look, I've
had drinks before.

But this was different, Mom.

I swear. This was
something else.

What do you mean?

It was the meds.

It had to be the
meds, Mom. I know it.

We're going to figure this out.

OK, baby?

Thanks for staying.

Well, of course.

I actually wanted to,
because the hospital Jell-O

is super fire, if
you didn't know.

You're a good friend.

- So we're friends again?
- I didn't say all that.

You sure?

You know, my whole life,
it was me and my mom.

And then I come out here, and
it's auntie, uncle, cousins.

You know, you're going
from a family of two

to a family of six
just like that.

But family's still family,
even if they don't look

like the one you're used to.

Thanks.

Yeah.

You know, it takes
a lot of energy

to keep making
yourself the outsider.

Trust me, I know.

Well, he's here.

6 pounds, 7 ounces,
big old head.

I understand if
you're not ready yet.

I want to meet my
little brother.

Thanks, Will.

Oh, I just gave her a ride.

You did a lot more than that.

Oh, Jackie. Jackie.

So he lost his car?

You really believe this? None
of this makes sense to me.

I know.

But at least he did the
right thing by calling me.

That's exactly what
we asked him to do.

And combining his
meds with alcohol?

That's just reckless. He
knows better than that.

Yes, and we need to
talk to him about it.

But he admitted to drinking
when he didn't have to.

If we attack him for it, he'll
never tell us the truth again.

And Dr. Richardson confirmed
that tapering off his meds

could lead to an episode
like he experienced?

Yes, I called him as
soon as I got home.

Disorientation, nausea,
some of his patients

even experience vertigo.

So you believe his
story holds up?

Right now I do.

Do you really want to go out
there and call him a liar?

Oh.

I'm calm. I'm calm. No,
no, no, no, it's fine.

I know what I did was stupid.

The drinking, trust me,
I've learned my lesson.

I never want to do that again.

Yeah, well, you're
lucky it wasn't worse.

It's been a long night.

Yeah, I just want to lay down.

Yes, I'm going to go with him.

Look, I'm fine, Mom.

No, you're far
from fine, Carlton.

We're gonna be keeping
a closer eye on you.

We all will.

Look, I know you've got a
lot on your mind right now,

but I have a bit
of news about Doc.

Hey, you seen Jackie?

She went home.

Ah, fuck.

Yo, Brian, where the
hell have you been, man?

Look, I'm just here
to get my shit.

Get your shit?

Hey, look, man, what's going on?

Look, you better
tell me something,

because nobody else will.

Look, Doc is not
who you think he is.

- Geoffrey, what's up?
- I've got some good news.

I found your vehicle,

completely out of gas
and sand on the seats.

Hmm, uh, wow.

Hm, on the corner of
Reseda and Victory.

Any of this sound familiar?

Uh, like I said, I was lost.

But thanks.

You know what I
find interesting?

What's that?

It was about 10 miles
between where your mother

picked you up and
where I found it.

Quite a distance for
someone traveling on foot.

Um...

I don't know, Geoffrey.

I...

I already told my parents

that I don't recall most

of what happened
yesterday, so...

Yeah.

I'm aware.

Sooner or later, your
truth will have no choice

but to reveal itself.

You know that, don't you?

Yeah?

- Hey, Uncle Phil.
- Hey, nephew.

Hey, do you have time to
talk about Zenith and Doc?

Yeah, so apparently,

Doc has been taking bribes

to steer players to
colleges and agents.

And now someone is threatening

to blow the whistle on
Doc and the entire team.

Hmm?

Yeah.

Have a seat.
