[SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers ahead for ‘Bel-Air’ Season 2 premiere.]
Will and Carlton are forming a ‘dynamic duo’ in ‘Bel-Air’ Season 2
Bel-Air Season 2 picks up two weeks after season 1 left off, with Will (Jabari Banks) storming out of the Banks’ mansion after learning Uncle Phil (Adrian Holmes) lied to him. He has moved in with Jazz (Jordan L. Jones) in South Los Angeles, and began making side money by playing pickup basketball games.
Additionally, Will is preparing for the next phase of his life without his uncle, hoping to get into a Division I college with the help of a local recruiter, Doc (Brooklyn McLinn). After making up, the cousins are closer, and Carlton (Olly Sholotan) wants to form a “dynamic duo” with Will, admitting he has gotten more attention after they began hanging out.
Additionally, Connor (Tyler Barnhardt) turned the lacrosse team against him after he broke his ex-friend’s arm.
Will attempted to help by taking his cousin to the school’s Black Student Union meeting, but a few members weren’t exactly cool with Carlton as they felt he used them for a class president vote. It led to a tense argument as the lacrosse player claimed they complained without trying to get into positions to make a change.
Geoffrey returns in the ‘Bel-Air’ Season 2 premiere
After school, Will meets with Geoffrey (Jimmy Akingbola), who encourages him to leave the street life behind and make amends with his uncle. The former house manager tried to do the same by dropping by the mansion where he left a gift for Ashley’s (Akira Akbar) birthday and apologized to Uncle Phil for overstepping his boundaries.
While it seems Vivian (Cassandra Freeman) wants to welcome Geoffrey back, Uncle Phil is still hesitant. Meanwhile, Will agrees to attend Ashley’s party after initially refusing because he didn’t want to see his uncle, but he had to play a pickup game to impress Doc first.
Even though he performed unexpectedly well against Big Dre (Sheldon Bailey), the trainer claimed he wasn’t interested. At the party, Will makes up with Uncle Phil and breaks up with Lisa (Simone Joy Jones), eventually deciding to return to the Banks.
However, Doc called him later that night and changed his mind, seemingly due to Will’s rich familial connections. Additionally, the Bel-Air Season 2 premiere sees Hilary (Coco Jones) become the manager of the influencer house and make her relationship with Jazz official.
