Bel-Air - Second Season

Previously on "Bel-Air"...

I feel like I'm stabbing Janice in the back.

I've learned to stop giving so much consideration

to the people who haven't done the same for me.

I'm going to accept

the executive director position.

You need to make the decision.

I've got my eyes on Erika.

Welcome to the team, Philip.

I thought you were a stuck-up mean girl.

I'm just kind of shy.

I am too.

Stalking Jazz's IG?

- It's okay to say you miss him. - I do not.

Jazz is the past.

Let's focus on your future.

Is that hot tub invite still open?

We know you've been looking for Frederick.

Keeping him safe has been our first priority.

Mine too.

Wanted to talk to you about the Founder's Award.

May the best man win.

His video came out,

and now everyone thinks I'm the villain.

Sooner or later, your truth will have no choice

but to reveal itself.

I'm not on drugs!

- Yo, you have any stuff? - I do.

Bro, he's only looking out for himself.

- Y'all can't see that? - Look, Doc is all we got.

Yeah, and when you walk out of here,

you walking to a new Lex and a nice crib.

So what, Doc was plotting

to get at my uncle this whole time?

He has connections, right?

I just need a little bit of that

Philip Banks gangsta shit.

Lorenzo, he's threatening to expose me

if I don't give him what he wants,

which means every single player on this team

will be ineligible to play college ball.

Even Will.

I came here to make things right for that boy!

How about you take your fucking bum ass

and get the fuck up out of here?

If basketball gets taken away,

he'll be devastated.

Which is the only reason I'm even considering helping Doc.

And how does he think you're supposed

to fix this Lorenzo problem, anyway?

I don't know.

I'll make some calls, see who I know.

If Will loses out on everything

he's worked so hard for...

I don't know what that would do to him.

- Who grandpa is this? Come on, man, check up.

- Old-ass nigga. - Come on.

You a sucker. Hey, this my shit.

You can't fuck with me.

If I let you score, are you gonna go home?

Shit, man, that was shit.

I'ma put you on skates now. What's up?

Wanna know why? 'Cause you ain't shit.

Stop playing with this ball. I'm really him.

That shit is embarrassing. Check up, nigga.

Man, shorty running his mouth getting old.

Only thing getting old is you, bitch.

- Bitch? - Yeah.

- Where you from, little nigga? - What the fuck? What's up?

- I'm from West Philly. - Hey, chill! Hey, chill.

- Want some of this? - Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Forgive my cousin, okay? He is not from here.

Better watch your fucking mouth.

- Or what? - Hey, hey, hey...

we don't want any problems, okay?

I promise you. Ain't that right?

That's right, right?

Let me talk to you for a second.

You got a death wish now?

What the fuck are you doing here anyway, Jazz?

Man, JB called me and told me you was wilin'.

Ain't you supposed to be in school?

I don't need no daddy, Jazz.

Look, I know you going through stuff, all right?

But you can't turn to street shit

every time life don't go your way.

- You better than that. - You don't know who I am.

I don't know who you...

nigga, look around.

This is not West Philly. You don't have to be that guy.

Man, fuck you, Jazz.

Really?

Morning, Carlton.

Hi.

You ready for today's mental health kick-off?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

I talked you up to the Princeton recruiter.

She wants to set something up.

Wait, are you being serious?

That's fantastic.

You are ending junior year strong.

Everything you wanted is within your reach,

including the Founder's Award.

Your win is gonna make Bel-Air Academy history.

Oh, well, I haven't won, yet.

I know, but I'm hoping for good things tomorrow.

And just know, this one is a win for all of us.

Hey, boy, hey.

Lis.

Got your message.

Seems like you needed a friend.

Oh, nah, I was...

I was just bugging.

You ain't have to drive all the way out here.

You were there for me.

Let me be here for you.

The court was the one place where I felt in control,

like nobody else was in charge of my future but me.

Nobody else.

Turns out, even that shit wasn't true.

My mom used to say

life doesn't always give you what you want,

but it gives you what you need.

You just gotta figure out what that means for you.

Hey.

Thanks for showing up.

That's what friends do.

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

just being friends?

I do.

Mmm, wow.

That... that was delicious.

Mm.

Four years of AP French, we still got it.

And what if I told you

that could come in handy real soon?

My bye week starts tomorrow.

You and me could be on a transatlantic flight

to the City of Lights.

Paris?

Yeah, right.

Yeah, we can walk down the Champs-Elysées,

take a private boat down the Seine.

You know I got the hookup at all the Michelin star spots.

I don't know.

It's just, you know, the house is finally

getting a lot of publicity.

I have a lot of content to edit and upload.

What I'm hearing is you need a break.

Listen,

after the night we had,

I'm not trying to read too much into it,

but it felt amazing.

Yeah.

You definitely remember what I like.

But, honestly, this trip's not about that.

I just think it'd be a chill way to reconnect.

Tomorrow?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey. Thanks for coming.

You were pretty mysterious on the phone.

What is this place?

Well, hopefully, the new home of

Philip Banks and Associates, my new law firm.

James is all set up to run the legacy firm,

I'm co-counsel to keep Garrison happy,

but it's time for me to think about my next big move.

Well, your next big move is at Carson and Lake.

That was our deal.

And I'll take all those big clients your firm promised me.

But instead of being an in-house lawyer,

I'm gonna be a smaller firm

that Carson and Lake outsources business to.

Yeah, I don't know if

the partners are gonna go for that.

Might help to remind them that less than 1%

of the outside firms that they hire are minority-owned.

Look, it's not lost on me

the value that my face brings, okay?

I'll still show up at all the client lunches.

I'll sit in on all the right meetings.

The optics.

I'm sure you know what that's like.

Now, help your partners see that this is a win-win.

I mean, either way, you got me.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I was surprised that you wanted to stop by.

I wanted to talk to you right away.

The Essie Green Gallery wants to feature

five of your pieces in their latest exhibition.

What?

Oh, that's amazing.
