Will and Carlton have been at loggerheads since Episode 1 of Bel-Air. However, it’s not merely a clash of egos. The two have their own issues, insecurities, and emotional baggage that they struggle with, and they, in many ways, come in between them.
On one hand, Carlton has an anxiety disorder which makes him insecure about Will taking his place in Bel-Air. He thinks Will is becoming everyone’s favorite, including Lisa’s, who happens to be his ex-girlfriend.
On the other hand, Will is trying to have a second shot at life after being arrested for gun possession. He has come to Bel-Air from the streets of Philly and is finding it hard to settle in the new world of the elite.
They have been trying to be civil with each other for their own interests, and Episode 7 seems to showcase how they could finally patch up and behave like actual brothers. Everything seems to be going right until Carlton realizes Will has slept with Lisa.
So, what will happen with Will and Carlton now?
Will and Carlton might have more tension between them before the two resolve their issues to fight bigger ones, such as Connor’s racism.
In episode 7, Carlton and Will host a party at their mansion while his parents are away. This is after he consoles Carlton while he’s taking drugs. Will understands how Carlton might feel and helps him throw a party as the first step towards reconciliation.
Will tries to set Carlton up with someone else at the party, but that doesn’t work out. On the other hand, Will and Lisa are bonding really well. One thing leads to another, and Will sleeps with Lisa.
All this happens while Carlton tries to reach Will because he needs help dealing with Connor and his racist friends. The police then show up at their house, and Carlton is about to be arrested. That’s when Will and Lisa come down from the room and tell how the house is Carlton’s.
Carlton immediately knows that the two have slept together, and the three look at each other. The tension peaks when the episode ends and leaves us wondering what will happen next.
Carlton is still in a very fragile state. Although he’s starting to accept Will for who he is and his dynamic with Lisa, he’s still not completely over everything. This would cause more tensions between them, and they might not be resolved quickly.
However, the two will eventually find a way to respect each other and even unite. Connor and his racist behavior will likely become the reason for this. Considering how Bel-Air was created to tackle significant issues against people of color, Connor’s arc will be built up more.
Now, Will and Carlton might be enemies and might not agree with each other, the two will inevitably come together to fight Connor and everything he stands for.
