Bel-Air Season 2 Episode 10 recap
Vivian and Phil are trying to figure out their next move knowing that Will will not be able to play basketball if Doc is busted. Will is skipping school and playing on the courts and almost ends in a fight until Jazz shows up.
While Jazz tries to help him, Will tells him to pound sand. As he struggles, he calls his mom to say he thinks he might need his father.
How does Will get Phil on board to help Doc?
After getting much clarity from his mom, Will brings in his teammates to talk to Phil before he throws the towel on Doc. They start to list all of the things that Doc did for them when they or their families when they needed it. Phil and Doc sit down with Lorenzo, but it gets heated fast. As he tries to leave, Geoffrey walks in and says the conversation isn’t over yet. It gets the job done as he signs the papers.
Phil alters his plan with Erika by opening a smaller firm to which the big firm farms clients. Erika doesn’t love it, but Phil says he will do what she needs, but this is a bigger-picture idea.
After setting up his new office, Erika is excited, comes in for a hug, and also plants a kiss on him. Geoffrey walks in and says they can still get out of this, but he is playing the game and knows how to handle Erika.
Janice comes to visit Vivian about an art gallery featuring her painting, but before she can go, Janice tells Vivian about knowing that she wants her job. Things get dicey when Janice says she’ll never get her job, as she will never let it happen.
Later, Vivian sits down with Janice to explain that someone will take over one day, and it might not be anyone who looks like them. Let her be the person to take over and right the ship.
Carlton is saying all the right things to make moves, but Drew comes in to rain on his parade, saying he is still the bad guy at the end of the day. Will tries to talk to Carlton and tell him that he doesn’t have to get into all of the mess, but Carlton blows him off.
Drew approaches Lisa and tells her that he was the one that leaked the video because he calls bullshit when he sees it. He says that until she is over Will, she can’t be with anyone.
Lemarcus and Hilary are having dinner, and he mentions that she needs a break. He wants to take her to Paris to reconnect and find their way again.
At the Founders Award gathering, Jazz approaches Will to talk about Hilary when he says she is heading to Paris with Lemarcus soon but says the chance is still there for him to make up with her.
Jazz lays it all on the line to Hilary. He asks if she is willing to take a chance on him and says I don’t know.
Who busts Carlton doing drugs?
At the Founders Award gathering, Carlton went to his locker to get a bump of coke. As he was taking it, Ashley walked up and asked what he was doing, and he told her that it was Xanax.
As Carlton tried to say they needed to get back in, she called him out for it not being Xanax. He tells her to let it go for him, and she says she can’t, but he grabs her by the arm and tells her not to say a damn thing.
Who wins the Founders Award?
Carlton wins the award. He goes to deliver the speech and tells everyone that he apologizes for making everyone believe he is worthy of the award because of a drug attack. He says he is definitely nobody’s hero and walks off the stage.
