Carlton and Will lead the students in a protest for Mrs. Hughes
After getting warned about the protest, Carlton brought up his concerns to his cousin Will who encouraged him to do it anyway, claiming it would prove him a leader.
Therefore, he agreed to go through with it but felt more pressure when Yazmin told him to give the speech. Once the school learned about the planned demonstration, they threatened to suspend anyone who participated, successfully convincing many of them to back out.
As a result, Yazmin and Carlton talked to the head of the school, who claimed they would re-evaluate the curriculum and look into the firing of Mrs. Hughes if the students didn’t chant or hold signs.
Although Carlton agreed as the leader of the protest, Will wasn’t satisfied as he felt silenced by the school. As a result, he and Yamin convinced Carlton to follow through with the demonstration anyway.
Carlton has a panic attack; Hilary attempts to land a brand deal for the house
When school officials get involved, Carlton has a panic attack when pressured to give a speech, leading Will to take charge. He stole back a banner from an administrator, hung it on a building, and initiated a “Black teachers matter” chant.
The episode also included Aunt Viv hiring Lisa, whose budding fling with Black Student Union (BSU) member Drew appears to make Will jealous as her assistant, and Hilary butting heads with Ivy again.
The influencer wants to secure a partnership for the house, but Ivy wants her namesake beverage to remain the official drink. Regardless, Hilary went behind her back and confirmed the collaboration.
Finally, Uncle Phil asks Geoffrey to look into a partner from the firm as he has an uneasy feeling about the lawyer. Before the conversation, the house manager attempted to get into a private folder on the patriarch’s laptop, but it appeared Uncle Phil had changed the password. Bel-Air airs Thursdays on Peacock.
