Things get very messy in this episode of “Bel-Air” as faces from the last season pop up and nearly all of them cause trouble.
After a time jump of a little over a month, things seem to be changing at the Banks household but not all characters benefit from shifting gears.
“Bel-Air” ends on a high note as Will and Carlton’s junior year ends on a bang, and we’re promised one hellacious summer.
As Will confronts Doc about what he is doing, Doc’s long-term plans involving Phil come out. Also, Carlton is given a chance to tell the truth about what happened.
Doc’s big secret is revealed, as is the reason why Aunt Viv doesn’t trust Erika, and while there are reconciliations or attempts, some don’t take.
As a bomb is dropped on Carlton’s pursuit of the Founders Award, Jackie’s past reeks its head, and Frederick, Geoffrey’s son, comes for a visit.
It is a Banks family reunion, and alongside meeting Phil’s mother and brother, we learn competition runs deep in his family.
In the aftermath of Will’s actions, things aren’t looking too bad. However, while things are looking up for him, everyone else is trying to manage with varying difficulty levels.
As everyone moves on from protesting and deals with the aftermath, new issues pop up, including old issues put on characters’ backburners.
As Carlton tries to decide whether to put the group or himself first, while battling anxiety, Ms. Bassin and the administration apply pressure.

The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
