In the series premiere—directed by Fame alum and future Grey’s Anatomystar Debbie Allen—Will tries to settle into his new, upper-class existence.
Will and cousin Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro) are mistakenly busted for car theft as they drive Philip’s law partner’s Mercedes to Palm Springs. Meanwhile, Hilary (Karyn Parsons) babysits Ashley (Tatyana Ali) to disastrous results.
In another automotive snafu, Will loses his uncle’s wheels in a pool-hall gamble, and it’s up to Philip (James Avery) to hustle the hustlers and get his car back. (Phil even plays one-handed while eating a sandwich.)
After finding Carlton performing an awkward rendition of “Brick House” with his glee club, Will and his friend Jazz (DJ Jazzy Jeff) bet that Carlton wouldn’t make it a weekend in Jazz’s home base of Compton. But Carlton fits in far better than they expected…
Will pawns his aunt Vivian’s (Janet Hubert) diamond bracelet to exploit an insider trading tip, but when his investment goes south, Will gets a stripper job to earn back the money. Carlton ends up taking Will’s place on stage, though, and he gets into the groove… not realizing his mother is in the audience!
As part of their escalating prank war against Geoffrey (Joseph Marcell), Will and Carlton fool the butler into thinking he has won millions in a lottery jackpot. Geoffrey, taking the bait, quits his post at the Banks household in dramatic fashion.
Will starts taking amphetamines to keep up with his hectic lifestyle, but then Carlton takes the pills just before the senior prom, mistaking the uppers for vitamins. (Cue a speedy version of the Carlton dance… and a health scare!)
Broadway actor Ben Vereen guests in this episode, playing Will’s long-absent father, Lou. Will is happy to see his dad, but Philip and Viv are suspicious—and they’re there for emotional support when Lou inevitably disappoints his son.
In another dramatic episode for the sitcom, this Season 5 installment has Will take a bullet for Carlton after they get stuck up at an ATM. And as Will recovers in the hospital, he takes Carlton off a violent path. (Fans may love this episode, but Smith said in his memoir last year he thinks this is where Fresh Prince“jumped the shark.”)
In the second half of the series-ending two-parter, Will takes charge of his future after Phil and Viv (then played by Daphne Maxwell Reid) move out of the Bel-Air home, Carlton prepares to go to Princeton, and Hilary and Ashley head off to a new life in the Big Apple.
