Will’s father made an appearance during ‘Bel-Air’ Season 1 finale
The series finale for Bel-Air starts with the Banks family attending a Governor’s Reception honoring Aunt Vivian (Cassandra Freeman). Will (Jabari Banks) thanked Uncle Phil (Adrian Holmes) for giving him a second chance and later tried to talk to Lisa (Simone Joy Jones), where he revealed he’s fallen in love with her.
Not wanting to have the conversation there, Lisa promised to talk to him the next day before walking away. After the party, the Banks kids continued wondering what happened to Geoffrey (Jimmy Akingbola) and Will revealed the situation with his dad that caused a rift between their house manager and patriarch.
Following the conversation, Will’s estranged father, Lou, snuck onto the property and informed Phil that Geoffrey had let him know his son reached out for him. During their conversation, it’s revealed that Lou went to prison on assault charges and got out three years ago.
The Philadelphia native claimed that he stayed away as he didn’t want Will to see him behind bars or in his halfway house and promised he’s a changed person. Lou left the house, and Phil spoke to Vivian about the unexpected guest and wondered if they should allow Will to reconnect with him.

As they discussed their options, Carlton (Olly Sholotan) saw Lou and snuck into his dad’s office, searching for the report. He later gave it to Will, who immediately confronted his aunt and uncle. Sympathetic toward his father, who had a rough upbringing, the teenager pointed out that his dad didn’t abandon him as they suggested but got arrested.
After speaking with his mother, who reiterated why they kept Lou out of his life, Will decided to meet his dad. As the two spoke, the teenager’s heart softened when his father explained how seeing his dad in jail “changed” him.
They began reminiscing about sneaking into a basketball game when he was a child, leading Will to ask why he and his mother didn’t last. According to Lou, the Banks didn’t consider him an adequate provider for Vy (April Parker Jones). Additionally, he accused Will’s mom of encouraging him to hustle in the first place.
As Lou continued speaking negatively about Vy, the teenager got upset, nearly leading to a physical altercation until Phil broke it up. Following the fight, Will gets into an argument with his aunt and uncle, upset they lied to him. He disappeared for hours and met up with Jazz (Jordan L. Jones), who encouraged him to create the future he wanted.
