Doc invites Will to join his AAU basketball team
“Speaking Truth” starts with Will losing a basketball game in front of Doc after following the coach’s plan to let Kurt take the winning shot. As the recruiter is unimpressed, Will tries to rally the team at practice. However, Kurt didn’t like his approach, leading Will to walk away.
The teenager got into contact with Jackie, who he met at the courts when trying to impress Doc, and they linked a club. Will found out Doc is her uncle, and the two privately spoke where the recruiter encouraged him to join AAU, or Amateur Athletic Union, basketball. At the next game, the Philadelphia native ignored his coach and took over the game, scoring the winning shot and impressing Doc. Uncle Phil noticed the two talking and intercepted communications, asking to be involved.
Carlton suggests BSU rally to save Mrs. Hughes’s job
Carlton asks his parents to talk to his doctor about lowering his dosage of anxiety medication, as he feels it’s begun breeding more anxiety. Things continue to pile on the teenager as he might try to become the first Black student to win the Founders Award and suggest BSU rally behind Mrs. Hughes.
Their middle school instructor, and a teacher who inspired Ashley, got fired for recommending books outside of the curriculum, and he wanted to save her job. However, he got nervous when a teacher reminded him about his reputation.
Hilary goes public with Jazz
After finally convincing a relentless Jazz to let her drive his car, Hilary allowed Ivy to operate it.
Jazz caught her, upsetting him, and the two had a conversation that ended with her admitting that she didn’t want to go public with him yet. However, after thinking about it, the influencer introduced him to her shocked parents.
Geoffrey finally returns to the Banks mansion
Finally, Geoffrey and Phil meet up to have their long-awaited conversation. Phil admitted he crossed the line, and the two addressed the son Geoffrey seemingly had to abandon, Frederick. The patriarch acknowledged how his words might have triggered his friend and asked him to come home.
Geoffrey agreed by offering Phil a cigar to smoke alongside him. Upset with her interview, Viv wants to meet with Reid, but he’s ignored her. When the gallery owner canceled a meeting with her at the last second, Viv left the message that she was no longer working with him with his assistant.
