02x08 - Pursuit of Happiness

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Bel-Air"...

My pieces, they have
something powerful to say.

If this is unbecoming
of the Neeman Fellowship,

then so am I.

- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You don't get to say "n*gg*r."

None of y'all do.

Well, I'm pretty sure I just said it.

I did not send the video.

I can't even believe you
would accuse me of that.

You had me and Carlton out
here beefing when it was you.

Oh, but can you prove it, though?

We'd like to bring you
in as an equity partner.

You can create whatever future

you envision for yourself.

So are you seriously considering this?

I think I have to.

But Doc told me not to count myself out.

At least he believes in me.

We'll see how much Doc
still believes in you

when I stop putting money in
his bank account every month.

- Let go of me!
- Relax.

You don't know sh*t about me, Will.

It's not gonna work
for me anymore, Will.

- So what are you saying?
- We can't be friends anymore.

The school is claiming
one of your classmates

told her parents they saw Ms. Hughes

giving books that weren't a part

of the approved curriculum.

I can't do this anymore.

So this is how it ends?

I guess so.

♪ ♪

OK, how's this?

"And while my comments were
in no way meant to tarnish

the reputation of the Neeman Fellowship,

I do wholeheartedly stand
by my opinions and apologize

for any harm I may have
caused the organization."

It's good that you're
standing by your principles.

You shouldn't have to
apologize for talking

about what you believe in.

Yeah, I mean, what's
the worst they can do,

cancel your fellowship?

You think they could do that?

- It's not gonna happen.
- Good morning.

- Morning, Dad.
- Morning, Phil.

OK, gotta get going, y'all.

I don't wanna be late to the gym.

So I walk in a room, and you walk out.

- How long are we gonna do this?
- I'm cool.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

Come on, your violin
lesson's starting soon.

You know, when you
came back in this house,

you wanted more independence.

And I promised to support that.

But if that support is
feeling more like control,

then I'm gonna ease up.

Yeah, so from now on,
I'm gonna let you decide

when you need my help.

That's all I wanted, just a
little bit of space to do me.

Then you got it.

You're in the driver's seat now.

- Just like that?
- Just like that.

Oh, hallelujah.

And I know you got your first
game with Zenith Hype later.

Geoffrey and I will be front and center.

You know I would be there if it wasn't

for this Neeman meeting.

It's all good. Just
catch the highlight reel.

You know I'm gonna drop on them.

I really gotta get out of here.

I guess two reconciliations in one day

is too much to ask for, huh?

Well, it helps to start with an apology.

Oh, wow. You're taking his side.

How unexpected.

You OK, son?

Yeah, it's just a nosebleed.

The air's just super dry.

Well, do you want me
to get you a tissue?

No, no, no, no, I got it. It's fine.

All these years, our history,

Well, we're not in the habit

of asking spousal permission
before making an offer.

It's not like you don't have a pattern.

That was a long time ago.

Oh, so you're not the
same woman who slept

with her best friend's boyfriend?

I know that narrative makes good gossip.

But we both know you
and Phil were on a break

when he and I started dating.

You were my line sister.
In what world is that OK?

Phil didn't have a problem with it.

We worked through that.

Exactly, because it was college.

Everyone was on-again, off-again.

But you two were on again
for the next two years.

We were an important relationship

for each other, yes.

But ultimately, things didn't
work out, and you got the guy.

- You won.
- Oh, I know.

I just need to make
sure that moving forward

whatever Phil decides, you
don't have another agenda.

My interest in Philip

You have my word.

of this makes sense to me.

right thing by calling me.

That's exactly what we asked him to do.

And combining his meds with alcohol?

That's just reckless. He

Yes, and we need to
talk to him about it.

when he didn't have to.

that tapering off his meds

could lead to an episode

Yes, I called him as soon as I got home.
