Previously on "Bel-Air"...

Why are you taking his side?

I know why he acted the way he did,

but what's your excuse?

Mr. Smith.

Welcome to the team.

"Haute Cuisine" is the top food magazine in the country,

and I have an interview with them next week.

Mom hooked it up. - We definitely want you

to, you know, tone it down.

But that's what people love about my cooking.

I don't think your family is our target audience.

My family and I would like to welcome you all to our home

and to express our sincere appreciation to you

for your support of my campaign

for Los Angeles district attorney.

I feel like that gives you this responsibility

to speak directly to the Black community.

- Let me search your bag. - Bro.

[dramatic music]

Nothing to hide, huh?

Told you I'd handle him.

♪

How did the drugs get in your bag?

I don't know how the drugs got in my bag!

Okay, so then how did you get the drugs?

Those are not my drugs. I'm telling you,

someone put the drugs in my bag.

If I'm lying, I'm flying.

No cap. I put that on my mom,

I put that on West Philly, on everything I love.

Okay, then who else could have done it?

I swear to God, I had nothing to do with it.

Someone put the drugs in my bag.

- And what about Connor? - What about Connor?

He was mad because I knocked his ass out at the party,

so he's trying to get me back.

It's called retaliation.

This isn't how Connor would retaliate.

Sure, I could see him freezing Will out socially

and running his mouth, but he wouldn't plant drugs

in his backpack like some Philly beat cop.

And if y'all don't believe me, y'all can drug-test me.

I'll piss in a cup right now.

If Will is telling the truth and it wasn't Connor,

do you have any idea of who might be trying to frame him?

Turns out some people actually think less of him

after he attacked me and Connor.

Let's stay on topic. Who else could have done this?

Besides Connor? both: Mm-hmm.

I mean, the only person I can think of is Carlton.

I wouldn't do something like this to him.

[tense music]

After all, he's family.

Your aunt and I are gonna get

to the bottom of this situation.

Will, I know you're in in-school suspension.

We have a meeting with your principal today,

hopefully find some answers.

Carlton, you're gonna ask around, too, right, honey?

Of course. I hope whoever did this,

or allegedly did this, gets caught and punished.

And what if it's someone you know?

Do you still hope they get caught?

- Absolutely. - Good.

We're all committed to making sure the truth comes to light.

And if there is foul play,

I promise, there will be consequences.

Serious consequences.

[school bell rings]

You should have told me before you actually did it.

What the fuck were you thinking?

Chill, dude. Okay?

Will attacked us, remember? We had to clap back.

You went too far, Connor.

Look, this clapback could get us expelled, or arrested.

You can't prove I planted that shit.

Uh, my parents can, and if they find...

If they find out what you did, they're gonna think

I was in on it, too, and then we're both fucked.

No one saw me, okay?

Trust me, your parents-- they're not gonna find out.

Look, my dad has busted five LAPD coverups.

He's made Fortune 500 CEOs cry under oath.

And my mom will--

She's a Black mom, and you don't fuck with Black moms.

Trust me.

If anyone can find out, it's my parents.

Shit, shit. Okay, um, what are we gonna do?

Oh, "we"?

"We" have to free Will.

that we've conducted a thorough investigation.

Good.

And because of our longstanding relationship,

I'm sure you won't mind walking us through the process,

step by step. - Of course.

After being debriefed by campus security,

we interviewed Will, spoke to his teachers

along with several classmates

to gather insight on his conduct.

- And then? - The faculty came

to a consensus, and our investigation was complete.

And what about the cameras? I mean, I counted 15 of 'em

just walking through the front door.

Security didn't see anyone near his bag

when they reviewed the tapes?

Um--

You have reviewed the tapes, right?

Apparently not.

You didn't watch the fucking tapes?

You didn't look at the damn tapes?

- Well, no. - Legally,

that boy is innocent until proven guilty.

But we found drugs in Will's bag.

But you didn't watch the tapes.

We'd be looking for a needle in a haystack.

It could take us a week to look over the footage.

Yeah, I've been rethinking that.

- Ugh! Here we go. - Okay.

Nothing fancy, but the ladies might get hungry,

Lamb sliders, charcuterie...

crab cakes with your secret sauce.

I told you, my secret sauce takes four hours to prepare,

Well, your salary doesn't exactly make you

All right, man, all right. So what's the move?

Well, I decided to go to that Alpha crawfish boil tomorrow.

Yeah, well, nostalgia is a hell of a drug,

Okay.

So what are we really doing here, Carlton?

I wanted to apologize, Lis.

I'm sorry you got caught up in the bullshit

between me and my cousin,

and I know I haven't been my best self lately.

That's an understatement.

I admit that I could have handled things better,

but just seeing you and Will together

just fucking destroyed me.

I mean, I know we didn't end on good terms,

but I have feelings too, and I wasn't gonna just--

Must I remind you I spent the better part of last year

putting your feelings ahead of mine?

Oh, I didn't realize I was such a burden.

I didn't say you were a burden.

You were there for me at my worst when my mom died,

and I was there for you while you were dealing with anxiety.

It's not like I just stopped caring about you, Carlton.

So you're not just saying that, right?

No. I still care about you.

It's changed a lot of lives,

including mine.

Give it a read.

Okay, I'll do that.

Like, the little, tiny lobster jawns?

Bingo.

Some of y'all know him as Yamacraw.

Yamacraw, yeah, man.

Boy, get the hell off the stage right now.

Phil, you better get your nephew

before we drag his skinny ass out of here.

You going to drag my skinny ass--

you going to drag my skinny ass out of here?

Phil.

Put the mic down, and let's go.

Just chill. Hey, my fault, yeah.

I play too much. I'm joking. I'm joking.

Will, that's enough. Come on. Get off the stage.

All right. I'm sorry. Matter of fact, come on,

show me a little somethin'-somethin'.

[laughs]

- Huh! - Hey, not--Will, Will...

come on.

- I'm not doing it right? - Come on. Come on.

Okay, all right, all right, all right, all right.

If I'm doing it wrong, show me how it's done.

Come on, Yamacraw.

Show me what you got.

Let's see it, Yamacraw.

Yamacraw, Yamacraw,

Yamacraw...

all: Yamacraw, Yamacraw,

Yamacraw... - What? Let's get it!

all: Yamacraw, - Let's go!

- All right! - Yamacraw, Yamacraw.

Yamacraw. - Yeah!

all: Yamacraw, Yamacraw.

All right. All right. All right. Okay.

All right.

Okay, I'll--I'll show you how it's done, nephew.

- All right, you got it. - All right?

I said, ooh, it's cold in here.

There must be some Alphas in the atmosphere.

I said...

all: Ooh, it's cold in here.

There must be some Alphas in the atmosphere.

I said, ooh, it's cold in here.

There must be some Alphas in the atmosphere.

It's like ice, ice, ice, too cold, too cold,

I said ice, ice, ice the Black and Gold.

I said ice, ice, ice, too cold, too cold.

I said ice, ice, ice, ah that Black and Gold.

Hoo!

[cheers and applause]

Ahh!

That was the one. That was the one.

[indistinct chatter]

[all shout]

How you with? all: Ice!

I said who you with? all: Ice.

I said who you with?

all: Ice.

[cheers and applause]

Okay, Yamacraw.

Who you with? Ice.

Now, that's the brother we've been missing.

Welcome back.

It's been in my heart, Robert. It never left.

Now, you think we can at least have that conversation?

Now, look, that nephew of yours...

- Oh. - Interesting.

Yeah.

But inspiring. What's the story?

Well, I--I'll tell you.

All right.

Thanks, babe!

[exhales]

Despite the fireworks, it was so nice to see everybody.

Oh, so nice to just relax.

I was wondering if you were going to notice it.

Ooh, I noticed.

I also remember when you finished this

and you wouldn't let me sell it.

- Mm-hmm. - You have a gift, Viv.

Had a gift.

Christmas done past, girl.

The world needs to see your talent again.

I mean, come on. What's getting in the way?

What's stopping you? Philip?

Ohh!

[both grunting]

Oh, no. Ohh.

[laughter]

Yes, I am loving this beautiful Black male energy.

Aunt Viv, you should have seen Uncle Phil.

He was stepping like a king. - Mm-hmm.

- My man was stepping? - Stepping, stepping.

I put it down, baby, and after a long discussion,

Reverend Lamonte agreed to support my campaign.

By support do you mean an endorsement?

Well, one step at a time.

Oh.

You should have seen me, baby.

Yamacraw is back.

- Yamacraw. - Yamacraw-craw.

Last to leave the party as per usual, Joan.

Philip, well, as per usual,

I was hypnotized by Vivian's art.

Hoping she makes a comeback, because the world is ready.

- The question is, am I ready? - Hello, everyone.

- Yo, what up, G? - Hey, someone had a good time.

That's right.

Hey, Geoffrey, looking good as ever.

Joan, I'm just trying to keep up with you.

Hey, yo, Geoffrey got some game.

Speaking of game, I've got to go get ready.

Oh, well, how did it go with Henry Miles?

You know, I don't want the stupid internship anyway.

We'll talk later.

Will, your mom sent you your stuff.

It's upstairs in your room.

That's what's up. Bet.

Just in time for my game. Miss my old jawns.

You know, I think your nephew

might have helped me win this election.

See, I told you he was special.

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

Look I hate to rain on your parade,

but we have got to talk about Hilary ASAP.

Now I need a drink.

I struggled for my passion,

I was willing to sacrifice for it.
