Previously on "Bel-Air"...

MVP, who will deliver our
graduation speech, Will Smith!

You guys should think
about teaming up.

- You can call it
- Edible Entanglements.

When did Ash get
a business model?

- What?
- How are you feeling?

Work has been crazy.

I'm trying to handle
a lot of big things

before I take my leave.

- You're my person.
- I wanna surrender to faith.

Y'all was about
to get married?

Shhh, hey.

Besides Eli,
nobody gets who I am.

I just can't find my people.

Kareem and I kissed.

What did you and Teedra do?

- Shit, we kissed too.
- Did a little more, actually.

Wait you lied
about your hookup?

- I don't know, man.
- It just kind of came out.

You're so determined to run
from your past, aren't you?

But you're still wearing it.
Come back, man.

- Let's make it real.
- All set?

- FBI! Open up! Go, go, go, go!
- Sweep!

Hold it right there!

Sorted.

Geoffrey.

We're gonna name her
after my mother.

Baby Nikki, I like that.

Good morning.

It's crazy
how much she sleeps.

Yeah, that's what babies do.

How do you know
if she's breathing?

- I'm gonna wake her up.
- Bumblebee.

No, no, no, no, no.

Now, I know this is
your first big sister rodeo,

but rule number one...

never wake a sleeping baby.

It's gonna be
a big day for her.

How is it possible to love
someone you just met this much?

All right, everyone's ready!

Shh.

Sorry.

- Everyone's ready.
- Okay.

Well, she's awake.

Hey, Nikki.

Dear, Heavenly Father,
we thank you

for this gift of life.

For this precious child, Nicolette.

We dedicate her to you.

Geoffrey, Viola,

you are Nicolette's godparents.

And may her village
always surround her

with encouragement and grace.

Can I hold her?

- All right now, looks like
- Aunt Vy has a new fave.

I'm never letting this
little sweet potato go.

Okay, well,
keep that energy up

when it's time
to change her diaper.

Yeah, because
little sweet potato

can get pretty explosive.

Okay, it looks like
she needs to lie down.

I'm so glad you're here, Mom.

I'd move heaven and Earth
to watch my baby

walk across
that graduation stage.

We've been working toward
this moment for 18 years.

Yes, I said we.

It's UPenn.

Legacy Heights
ribbon cutting is huge news,

so inquiring minds
would like to know

what's next for Philip Banks.

Time being,
3:00 a.m. feedings.

Well, you didn't
hear it from me,

but I put a little something
on your radar.

The brothers are going
to nominate you for

Alpha Phi Alpha
Man of the Year.

- Oh, that's great.
- What?

- Seriously?
- I mean, that's a huge honor.

Yeah, I mean, I've been
saving souls for 30 years,

- and I ain't never got it.
- That's amazing.

Wow, congratulations.

- You good, nephew?
- Yeah, yeah.

That was, uh...
that was my UPenn advisor.

I got accepted into their
summer business program.

- Oh, that's great.
- Congrats.

But that means I have to
leave Bel-Air in a week.

What?

That's so soon.

♪ Oh, yeah ♪

♪ It's like déjà vu ♪

♪ I see it all the time ♪

♪ Oh, yeah, oh, yeah ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

Please clean out
your lockers

and pick up your yearbooks.

Congratulations to
all of our graduates.

Ah.

God, I don't even know
where to start.

Yo, don't worry about it.

The class picked you and not me
to give the grad speech

because, you know, they know
you're gonna kill it,

probably.

Of course I am, man, as soon
as I figure out what to say.

Don't stress.

But it is important,
so don't fuck it up.

No pressure.

I can't believe you're
really about to leave Bel-Air.

I know.

You know, how important is
this UPenn program anyway?

You really volunteer
to spend the entire summer

in a classroom?

They only pick
30 people, bro.

I couldn't say no.

Plus, it gives me
a chance to jumpstart

my classes before
the basketball season starts.

- Yes, but we had plans.
- I know.

- Tijuana,
- Palm Springs, Vegas.

The camping trip we were gonna
go on with Amira and Lisa.

Speaking of.

How long is this
gonna last?

- Look, bro,
- Lisa made it really clear

at lock-in where she stands.

If she's not pressed,
I'm not either.

Hey, girl.

Happy last day.

Come on.

That's a bit harsh,
isn't it, Lis?

Not as harsh
as the insecure bullshit

he said to me at the lock-in.

Okay, it was super messed up.

I'm not defending Will,
but have you two tried talking?

I mean, you know
he's leaving, right?

I know.

He's not mature enough to talk.

So that's on him, not me.

- That was very nice.
- Thank you.

Next up we have Ashley Banks.

Hi, I'm Ashley Banks,

and this is my
end of freshman year speech,

inspired by James Baldwin's
"Letter to My Nephew."

But mine is a letter
to my baby sister.

Dear Nikki, you're being born
into a world that's still

trying to figure itself out.

And I'm still trying to
figure myself out too.

You see, I go to a school where
almost no one looks like me,

where they teach the words
diversity and inclusion

and put my picture
in the brochure

but still crop out my story.

They'll love your smile
but fear your tone.

They'll touch your curls but
never understand your crown.

They'll say you're
not like the others

and expect you
to say thank you.

I want you to live
in a world where

being Black or a girl or queer
is not a contradiction

but a celebration.

And if that world
doesn't exist as you grow up,

I'll keep fighting so it can.

Because you are worthy
to belong.

You don't need to shrink to
be safe or soften to be seen.

And if the world forgets
how to treat you,

I hope you read this letter
and be reminded of who you are.

You're a brilliant,
extraordinary, curious

young lady with strong beliefs
and a remarkable passion

that's going to
change the world.

Love, your big sis, Ashley.

Bumblebee!

Whoo! Whoo!

Cool. Cool.

Okay, okay, so these last ones,

these are
my Carrot Top Blondies,

sativa maple syrup,
coconut oil CBD.

So it's gonna
have people chill,

but, you know, like,
not on the couch.

Okay, so like,
they healthy and high.

- Thank you, thank you.
- Okay.

I see what you did there.

Why didn't we think of
this collab any sooner?

- Well, we didn't think of it.
- Ashley did.

That did happen, didn't it?

- Yeah. She did do that.
- Hilary, thank you.

- Seriously.
- Of course.

You know we've gotta make sure
this grand reopening is fire.

Exactly.

That's actually gonna
have to be

my first and last batch.

I'm heading back to Costa Rica.

Oh, uh...

what's out there?

Well, you know I came back
early for my mom,

but I pitched my healing
foods idea to the owner

of the retreat center,

and it turns out
he's kind of letting me

run my own café there.

Amazing.

I mean, your family
just got you back,

and I'm sure they're bummed
that you're leaving so soon.

Yeah, but it's such
an incredible opportunity.

- Yeah.
- I have to, you know.

- You do. No, yeah.
- I have to.

And they'd be lucky
to have you.

Thank you, Jazz.

And good luck
with your grand reopening.

- It's gonna be great.
- Yeah.

Wharton Summer Honors...
for students

who show exceptional promise
in business ethics,

innovation, and leadership.

Threw my name in as soon
as I got accepted.

I get to network
with the faculty,

visit some Philly VC firms.

You know
I'm proud of you, right?

Yeah, I was a little nervous
when you turned down Stapleton,

- but I had no doubt.
- Really?

Mm-hmm.

It didn't seem that way
when you hung up on me.

Let's not dwell in the past.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

I was a little nervous too.

Yeah, but you gambled
on yourself.

You know, Lou's been bragging
to everyone

his son is
an Ivy League hooper.

And he's planning this
big welcome home barbecue.

I can't even...

I can't focus on welcome home
parties right now.

I just wanna focus on
the time I have left here.

How's Lisa feel about you
leaving right after graduation?

Still not talking?

Hey, it's a two-way street, Ma.

Mm-hmm, see, that's that
stubborn Lou Smith in you.

But don't leave this place
without saying goodbye

to the people who matter.

You think you can channel
some of that energy

into a graduation speech?

Hmm?

Or better yet,
I need some helping hands

with this packing.

- Don't look at me.
- What?

I got a cute baby
to take care of.

- Oh, come on.
- Wait, wait, wait.

- You hear that?
- What?

Oh, that's her. That's her.

Tee-tee's coming!

Oh, wow,
I didn't hear anything.

Here's to
officially being free.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

I can't thank you
enough, Phil.

To be honest, I never
thought the Feds were

really gonna let me walk.

And now we can focus
on the important things,

like family.

Penelope.

I missed you so much.

I missed you too.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Jamaica is so beautiful,
and your family welcomed me

and Frederick so hard.

Like, showered us
in love and food.

Ah, that's my Aunt Alberta.

Yeah, and this one,
this is her son.

- Oof! He's grown.
- Same age as Frederick now.

And they're thick as thieves,
running in the street

all night doing God knows what.

- Reminds me of Will and Carlton.
- Hmm.

You know, he's never
had cousins before.

It's gonna make it hard
for him to leave.

Look, I'm sorry.

It all took longer
than I thought,

but we can go back to London
anytime we want now.

Okay?

I was thinking...

what if we don't have to?

What are you saying?

I know Kingston was
supposed to be temporary,

but being there,
watching your family

love on our son...

It felt like home.

Home.

- Whoa, come on.
- Dear class of 2025!

Dear... why the hell
would I start with dear?

Yo, class of 2025, y'all ready
to burn this motherfucker down?

No, no. Not arson.

Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.

His hands can't hit
what his eyes can't see! Ah!

I am sick and tired of
being sick and tired!

Yes, we can heal this nation.

Yes, we can.

Come on, come on!

Yo, I figured I'd return
some of the stuff I borrowed.

You mean the stuff you stole?

That's open
to interpretation.

Well, there it is,
my Theragun, Bluetooth speaker.

My fuzzy puppy socks?

Look, man,
I'm not gonna lie.

I was gonna clown you
for having them,

but they are cozy as hell.

And my toenail kind of ripped
through one of his eyeballs,

- just so you know.
- You know what?

- Keep 'em.
- I was hoping you'd say that.

How's the speech coming?

Uh, it's not.

Look, man, I wanna say
something meaningful,

but nothing feels right,
you know?

But, hey, I came up
with a good idea.

How about me and you still go
on that camping trip?

The one we were gonna take
with the girls?

Yeah, except
without the girls...

AKA without the drama.

All right, so I guess
you and Lisa

still haven't
figured things out.

I mean, I sent her a message,
but she left me on read,

so I'm off it.
Feel me?

But, hey, man, forget that.
Let's focus on this.

- We're gonna do this, a'ight?
- Okay.

Then we're gonna have that
movie marathon we talked about.

- Yeah.
- Right?

Catch you up on all the Black
classics that you never saw.

"Jason's Lyric,"
"Juice," "Crooklyn."

"Waiting to Exhale."

Come on, man,
that's an auntie flick.

Okay, look, I'm down,
it's just,

don't you have packing to do
and a speech to write?

- Just let me figure that out.
- A'ight?

You know what?

- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.

- Let's do it.
- We doing it?

- Yeah.
- Okay, let's do it.

The C-Note
and Big Willie tour.

Ooh.

- Keep working on it.
- Okay.

Yes, let's do it.

- Cuzzopalooza 2025.
- No.

- Cuz-chella!
- Keep workshopping.

Okay, wrap it
around the body.

Um, okay, I think.

Oh, guess you don't
like that.

I used to be good
at this swaddling thing.

- Lies.
- You've never been good at it.

- Come on, move over.
- What are you talking about?

Ah.

She definitely got
her good looks from Mommy.

Hey, easy now.

There, there.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Shh, shh, shh, shh.

There you go, all cozy,
all set and happy.

Hmm?

One little human and suddenly

my whole life's been put
into perspective.

Huh?

Like, all the stuff that
I thought mattered doesn't.

I get it.

And with the success
of Legacy Heights

and now this Alpha Man
of the Year honor,

a lot of opportunity is
gonna be coming my way.

I just wanna be thoughtful
about my next move.

So what are you thinking?

- Well,
- Reverend Lamont's church

is helping a lot of
displaced families in Altadena

still trying
to hold on to their land

after the fires.

That's where I wanna put
my focus.

Family's been putting a lot
in perspective for me too.

Penelope and Frederick
wanna stay in Jamaica.

But London's
been home for so long.

It was a fast life, Phil.

My reputation,

the people there
only know the man I became.

But in Jamaica, maybe I could
be the man I'm supposed to be.

Yeah, we've been grinding
for a minute, G.

At some point you gotta ask,
what's it all for

and when do we slow down?

Hmm.

Uh-huh. Let it go.

All right, so I'm thinking
we start with "Juice"...

- Okay.
- Then we "Boyz n the Hood."

- Do, uh, "Stomp the Yard."
- "Stomp the Yard" too?

- God, C, just stop.
- Come on.

Okay. All Right, all right.

Black movie night's
about to be poppin'.

Man, let's go.

You about ready to get
those kebabs grilling?

- Oh, yeah. Gotcha.
- Let's do it.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Fuck!

What?

You see another spider?

Look, man, I told you,
we in they hood right now.

Just let 'em be.

Did you happened to grab
that bag of groceries?

No, because you were supposed
to grab the bag of groceries.

I was busy
creating a playlist

with an outdoorsy vibe.

You can't eat vibes, Carlton.

The nearest store is,
like, an hour away.

- I know, I know.
- It's just...

maybe we can, like,
catch a fish or something.

They make it look super easy
on "Naked and Afraid."

Nigga, catch a fish?

Look, you gotta
figure something out.

I don't do well
when I'm hungry.

And you know that.

I have to figure
something out?

- Yes, you forgot the food.
- You also forgot the food.

- Bro, this was your job.
- Mind if we join?

I'm impressed you left Phil
alone with the baby.

I don't remember him
changing too many diapers.

'Cause he definitely didn't.

But he wants to try things
different this time.

Well, that's good
for the both of you.

You are glowing.

I wanna know the secret.

Happiness.

I got a personal trainer.

I started sewing again.

Dating.

I am taking bachata.
Look, so it's...

- Oh, I love this.
- It's here. It's here.

What? Wait, wait, wait, wait,
a minute.

Dating?
What happened to Gerald?

- Well, he's still around.
- Lou's been calling too.

- What?
- Mm-hmm.

Are you entertaining that?

I'm not not entertaining it.

There's history there.

- But I got a few on the roster.
- Ah! Not a roster.

Lord, is my sister
entering her ho phase?

No.

Well, maybe a little.

I'm just...

I'm prioritizing myself
in this next act of my life.

And what about you?

I wanna be present
in motherhood,

but I'm gearing up
for this big push at work,

and I'm trying
to find new funding

for this Neeman Fellowship.

The question is,

why do you feel the need
to juggle so much?

Be intentional about creating
the next act that serves you.

- Come on.
- Oh, okay.

You need to free yourself.

This way, six, seven, eight.

Hips, and hips, and two. Hips.

What? Okay.

Hands above the waist,
and hips.

Yes! You got it!

I still got hips.

You still got it!

What the hell
are y'all doing here?

Camping was supposed to be

our last adventure
before college.

Y'all aren't ditching us.

- Don't look at me.
- I didn't ask for this.

I basically had
to kidnap Lisa's ass

and drive her to the
middle of bumblefuck.

Okay, can y'all please
make peace?

Hey, Amira,
we talked about this.

This is cousin bonding time.

Yes, and we are at peace
by our damn selves.

This is a drama-free campsite.

Oh, I know that
because I picked it

when we were all planning
to go together.

Drama-free?

Well, it seems like
you like to create it,

because why else
would you lie about

- fooling around with Teedra?
- What?

Carlton.

Why does she know
about Teedra?

Yeah, that's what
I would like to know.

Amira, what happened to
the cone of fucking silence?

It doesn't matter why.

I don't give a fuck
about a cone of silence.

I don't wanna
argue with you.

You don't wanna
talk about it at all?

- Why did you tell her?
- This is honestly ridiculous.

Why are we fighting?
Lisa's my best friend.

- That's what I'm saying.
- This is a drama-free campsite.

Everybody stop! Stop, okay?

Listen, I transferred
to Bel-Air Academy

because of our friendship.

So what we're not gonna do
is end our senior year

fighting with one another.

Look, Amira's right.

You and Lisa have
been through way too much

to have it end like this.

And you...

wait, is that?

Is that food?

Oh, this? This right here?

Yeah, I got hot dogs,
burger patties, sodas.

I packed a whole-ass cooler.

Wait, what's that I'm hearing?

Is your stomach growling, Will?

You a bit hungry?

Tienes hambre?

I mean, we could leave
with the food.

Fine.

- Y'all can stay.
- Oh, thank you.

How kind of you.

I'll move it to the RV.

Thank you, baby.

Oh.

- In a speeding car.
- Mm-hmm.

In a parked car.

Yeah.

Under the bleachers during
that one football game.

And now in a tent
on the beach

with mosquitoes biting my ass.

I think that was me, actually.

Can you believe we low-key
trapped a messy-ass couple

into talking out their issues?

Listen, I was very proud

- of my performance.
- Mm.

What happened to the cone
of fucking silence, Amira?

Are we insane?

Ah, a certain same-day
marriage ceremony

would suggest
we are certifiable.

Like, what were
we even thinking?

We were thinking that
we ground each other,

and we were trying
to hold on to that.

Definitely gonna miss this.

They don't got waves
like this in Philly?

I wasn't talking
about the waves.

You wanna take a walk?

So...

I lied about kissing Teedra

because I was hurt

about what you did with Kareem,

and I wanted to make you feel
the same way I did.

I'm sorry.

I don't even know
why I kissed Kareem.

I just got in my head
about college

and dating long-distance.

Yeah.

We've been avoiding having that
conversation, but...

let's do it.

Okay.

Ever since you got to Bel-Air,

I have just been
hyperfixated on you.

All I ever think about
is being with you.

Even when we weren't together,
it was just always you.

Yeah.

We had a wild ride.

And I never wanted
to get off.

But now?

It would be so easy
to stay with you, Will.

I love you.

Even when you're fucking
driving me crazy.

But when I think
about college...

There's gonna be
a lot of Kareems.

And a lot of Teedras.

But it's okay.

We're at the time of our lives
where we're supposed to be

open to all the possibilities,
right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we're breaking up?

For now.

But it's a quick train ride
from Philly to D.C.

One hour and 50 minutes,
and 138 miles.

Should we head back?

Race me?

I'll give you
a 3-second head start.

- More than that.
- One...

Wait! Oh!

- You're gonna love
- Costa Rica.

Fresh food, fresh air...

you can splash around
in the river.

Well, that's gonna be a while,
huh?

You'll be walking
and talking by then.

Are you even gonna remember me?

You will. You will.
Because you know why?

I'm gonna fly back
as much as I can.

I'm gonna be
the best big sister.

I kind of let some stuff
slip with Carlton.

You know she can't
talk back yet, right?

And I'm okay with that.

'Cause you know,
when you started talking back,

you were a little sassy.

I had a lot to say.

And still do.

Your mom told me about
your freshman speech.

Okay, Sojourner.

But I didn't know
you were going through

all that at school.

Yeah, Bel-Air Academy
is a lot different this year.

Yeah, I heard they dropped
the affinity groups.

Mm-hmm.

Sign of the times, I guess.

- You know, I just...
- I'm ready for a change.

Would have been nice to talk
to you about all of it, but...

Ash, you know
you can always call me.

Big sis duty doesn't stop
just 'cause I'm not here, okay?

I just kind of wish
you weren't going so far away.

I know.

I'm gonna miss y'all too.

Feels good to finally
have some alone time.

You find a movie yet?

Mm-mm.

Oh, but Ashley found a school.

- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

A strong arts program,

small class sizes,
tons of diversity.

Yeah, this looks great.

It's in Baldwin Hills.

Wha... that's over
an hour in traffic.

How are we supposed
to swing that every day?

Well, she figured
that out too.

She said she could take
a bus to the K-line

and then to the Link shuttle.

She said she'll wake up early,
whatever it takes.

Hmm.

If it means that much to her,

then we're gonna need
to figure it out.

Maybe it's time to try to
figure out what we want too.

Like that simpler life
we talked about.

Hmm. Yeah.

Whatever it takes.

We still, uh...

still gonna watch this movie?

Yeah, of course.

- It's date night.
- Mmm.

No excuses.

I'll take that deal.

Hell yeah.

But next time,
we bring bug spray.

Mm.

And real chairs.

And a chef?

Oh!

Oh, and instead of meeting
at a campsite,

we should do the Four Seasons.

- I don't know, man.

You surprise me every day.

- Bro, that was fun, though.
- Yeah, it was.

Now I gotta focus on
this graduation speech.

Surprise!

Whoo!

Oh, wow. A goodbye party.

Gotcha.

- Yeah!
- Whoo.

- I'm really gonna miss you,
- Will.

Oh, and wait a minute.

And I wanna give you this.

You inspired it.
You should have it.

Wow.

Thank you, Aunt Viv.

I'll go see
what's up with that dip.

- Thank you, again.
- Yeah.

I still can't believe
he's leaving.

Oh, and you were right about
creating the life

- that I want.
- Mm-hmm.

You know,
I've been so focused

on this whole shakeup
at Neeman.

But then it hit me.

I am gonna start
my own artistic foundation.

I love that for you.

I mean, you've already
got all the knowledge,

- all the connections.
- Right?

And, I mean, why should
I be building something

for someone else when
I could build it myself

- the way I want it?
- Yes.

Right?

- The Vivian Banks
- Artist Fellowship.

- Come on, legacy.
- Yes.

Okay, nephew.

We've got a little something
fun planned for you. Come on.

Oh, come on,
that's not even necessary.

- No, no, no. Come on.
- Yes, come on, come on.

- We're not asking.
- We're not asking.

- All right.
- Come on.

All right, guys,
let me say something.

And also I know what
you guys are all wondering.

How did I become best friends
with a high school kid, right?

Glad we're finally
saying that out loud.

Ah.

Honestly, Will, our
relationship makes no sense.

But Will did need
some guidance,

and I needed somebody to
remind me of how dumb I was.

So thank you for that.
I appreciate you, king.

But I watched you grow
from reckless and arrogant

to slightly less reckless,

maybe more arrogance now.

- You really do know him.
- Don't encourage him, Ma.

Don't encourage him.

All jokes aside, man,
just when you go on,

keep your head on straight.

And whenever you get the urge
to just do something stupid,

you already know
what to do, man.

Pick up that phone...

and you call Carlton.

I'm off the clock!

My phone is on
do not disturb.

So the truth is, we had
kind of given up on the idea

of having a cool brother.

But Will, you have brought
swag and heart to this family.

I mean, you made this house
louder in the best way.

- Oh, yeah.
- And me a little louder too.

Anyway, our last parting
words of wisdom

before you head off to college.

Vaseline is not a
face moisturizer or a hair oil.

It clogs your pores,
and it's disgusting.

We love you.

I'm not exactly
known for my humor.

I've certainly never seen it.

You're supposed
to be on my side.

As you are. Go on.

But you, Will,
are one of the biggest pain

- in the backsides I've ever met.
- Wow.

- You're impulsive, nosy...
- Well, that's true.

I'm serious. Pure chaos.

So far, this is hilarious,
by the way.

And that's everything
I've come to love about you.

Now, don't mess it up,
all right?

'Cause you never know when
I'm gonna make an appearance.

Yes, very scary.

I would like
to remind everyone

that I was the first-born
boy child in this family.

Here we go. Here we go.

Hey, I was the prince.

Right? And then Will showed up.

You know, I will admit,
at first I had a few concerns.

Really?

You hid it so well.

You know,
before you got here,

I thought Bel-Air
was my entire world.

You being here threw
everything off in a good way.

You changed
the way I see people.

You changed
the way I see myself.

I'm gonna miss you, cuz.

Aw, good job.

You're gonna
make me cry, man.

All right,
all right, all right.

Now, I know we've had a lot
of fun at Will's expense.

And that's been great.

Bel-Air has been good
to us in so many ways.

But...

we've decided to move out.

- Huh?
- What?

- Whoa.
- Hang on.

Where are you guys going?

We've been looking
at some homes in West Adams.

You know, it's a historic
Black neighborhood.

And most importantly,
it's close to a school

that Ashley has had her eye on.

- Wait, seriously?
- Yeah.

Yo, no lie?

How come as soon
as I move out,

everybody trying to leave?

Anyway, I'm happy for you guys.
That's all.

Shaking up
the status quo is good.

Good for y'all.

It's time to get back
to our roots.

- Right.
- Prioritize what's important.

- I'll drink to that.
- Oh, me too.

- Me too.
- Yes.

- That's our news.
- Yes.

But today is
mainly about Will.

So everybody grab your glass.

I see you got 'em.

Let's raise a toast
to our favorite nephew, Will.

- Yay.
- Here, here.

- Where is he going?
- Is he okay?

Yo.

Wait, what happened?

You know, it's hard
to have a goodbye party

if you're not there
to say goodbye.

I appreciate everyone
trying to show love,

but I'm just trying to
keep things light, Unc.

Just trying to keep it light.

Because when I think too long
about leaving Bel-Air,

it just...

It gets heavy.

Like, this is the biggest
goodbye in my life.

Yeah.

And I respect that.

But you know, there's a lot of
people down there who love you,

who are gonna miss you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Um, I'll get back to the party.

Not necessary.

I'll help, but I'm
not breaking an acrylic.

You'll help.

Just checking in.

You've been kind of
quiet this morning.

Yeah, just, um, thinking
about a lot of stuff is all.

Mostly about how much
I'm gonna miss this house.

Yeah, I know.

Man, if this closet
could talk.

What you've come through
wasn't easy.

What we came through.

But you made it.

Oh, and I'm just
so proud of you.

There were times I never even
thought I'd see this day come.

And when you walk
across that stage,

I'm gonna embarrass you
with how loud

I am gonna scream.
Oh!

I've warned you, okay?

Be ready.

- Good afternoon, everyone.
- all: Good afternoon.

I'm Will Smith,
born and raised in West Philly.

Whoo! Whoo!

- Mm-mm-mm.
- That's my mama right there.

My whole life she used
to say to me, Son,

your life is bigger than
these 14 square miles.

And I heard her,
but I didn't listen.

Because the truth is,
I didn't want anything bigger.

I mean, my block
was my whole world.

But I was scared of getting
out of my comfort zone.

I came to Bel-Air
angry, confused,

trying to fight every type
of change I could.

But my family
didn't let me run.

And honestly, I didn't know

what this speech
was gonna be about...

Until it hit me

just how much
they always show up for me.

I mean, they loved me like
I was theirs from day one.

They gave me advice,

taught me it was okay
to reach for the unimaginable,

that I could belong in spaces
that weren't built for me

and still be me.

They showed me how to reinvent
myself and still stay who I am.

They reminded me
to use my voice to speak up,

to call things out.

They watched my back when
I didn't know I needed it.

And they knew
what was best for me,

even if that meant
letting me go.

But the most surprising
part of this all...

The brother I never asked for,

the brother I couldn't stand,

the brother I can't
imagine life without.

Hey, Carlton, man,
I wouldn't be standing up here

if it wasn't for you, bro.

So what I've learned,

growth happens
when we're uncomfortable

and when we let people
love us through it.

So don't be afraid
to leave the block,

let your life get flipped
and turned upside-down,

and embrace the change ahead.

'Cause our crown
is waiting for us

just as soon as we find
the courage to wear it.

Congratulations, class of 2025.
We out!

All packed.

Your mom just
boarded her flight.

So she said, you better
get your behind on the road.

All right.

When you call
to check in on Carlton,

check in with me too.

You just make sure that phone
of yours is charged, nephew.

All right?

- I love you very much.
- Thank you.

All right.

Everything's packed up.

Your Impala chariot awaits.

Um, chariot's
a little bit of a stretch.

Touché. Touché.

Now, I know y'all aren't
trying to leave without me.

- Hurry up, man.
- Where are you going?

Well, you know,
I've got some time,

so I figured I'd spend
a few weeks in Philly.

Move into Will's room,
wear his clothes,

steal his old girlfriend.

You got jokes.

- Jazz, come on in here.
- Yeah, Jazz.

You're here
all the time anyway.

Hey, I'll keep him safe
this time.

Ah, man.

I'll see you guys soon.

Hey, yo, nephew.

That crown looks good on you.

Yeah.

Gave me something

A chance at something real.

And, yeah, I'm hoping
it finds his way back to me.

I'm glad you decided to stay.

Me too, girl.

Costa Rica can wait.

Right now I wanna be here
with my sisters.

Hold on. Somebody's calling me.

- Hello?
- Ah, so Miss Honeybee

just couldn't get enough
of your boy, huh?

It's cool, it's cool.
I have that effect on women.

Why are you bothering me
here at work?

What, a brother
can't work too?

Everyone comes here
trying to be somebody.

But maybe it's really a place
where you get to let go

of who you thought
you had to be.

This city teaches
you to start over

and not as someone new,

but as the truest version
of yourself.

All right, we should probably
get going, right?

Yeah, just, uh...
just give me a second.

All right.

Ah, man.

Steppin' into the future's
kinda scary, huh?

Nah.

I'm... I'm cool.

- It's okay.
- I won't tell your boys.

You know,
I used to worry that

this city would make me forget

who I was
and where I came from.

But now that
I'm going back home,

I'm scared I might forget
who I became.

Hmm. Well, that's good.

That means
you've become somebody

worth holding onto.

Right, but what if I...

I can't hold on
to this version of me?

Don't worry about having
all the answers.

You know, nobody does.

Not even the people
who pretend like they do.

I don't know.

Sounds like you got it all
figured out, OG.

- Ooh, no.
- No?

No, sir.

Trust me, you're...
you're gonna...

you're gonna
mess some things up

and do some dumb shit.

But you're human.

You'll learn, you'll grow.

And just live
and laugh and cry.

Eat a cheesesteak.

Just, uh, not every day

'cause cholesterol is real.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Life goes by fast, man.

Try to enjoy the ride.

- Thanks for that.
- Appreciate it.

I'll let you in
on a little secret.

We're gonna be all right.

- Yo, Will!
- We don't wanna miss our flight.

Jazz is in the car whining
about the 405 being a beast.

Right, sorry, I'm just
soaking up some wisdom

from my guy right here.

What guy?

You good?

Uh...

Yeah.

Yeah, actually, I am. Really.

You nervous about the future?

Mm, nah.

It's just waitin' on us
to light it the fuck up.
