but lately.
I've been feeling like I'm suffocating in silence,

all this competition was gonna lead to a problem.

and Will showed up late and unprepared.
Will, you have a problem focusing.
Dad, you said it yourself. That's why
you're helping him so much. - What?
So that's what you think. - Hold up.
That is not what I said. I was talking more about
your lack of commitment and preparation.
- Okay, so because I don't do things like you and Carlton,
it's a problem. - No, but I do think
that you could be more disciplined
when it comes to your future.
- You would say that.
He didn't even want me to keep my name in the running.
- No, it's not true. - Yes. Yes, it's true.

- But you, your siblings,
a meal was never missed.
- Geoffrey?
- He's always been in your life...
I just couldn't let you leave here
without knowing who your father really is.
- Thanks again, Mr. Banks.
[door closes]
That's what an artistic voice should be,
so if this is unbecoming of the Neeman Fellowship brand,
then so am I.

- I checked my account, Hilary.
If you would've just let the woman run the damn card...
Look, I had the money. - Okay.
You have the money. I have the money.
We both have the money. - That's not the problem.
The problem is, you didn't believe that I had the money.
Be real. - What are you talking about?
- I bet if you were at dinner with LaMarcus...
- Let me finish.
I just know you would've given him the benefit of the doubt
before you pulled out your platinum card.
- Okay, Jazz, you're really making this
more than what it needs to be, and you're ruining the night.
- I'm ruining the night? - Yes.
You're ruining the night, and you know what else?
I am so, so tired of dancing around your insecurities.
- [laughs] Here we go.
The truth comes out. Come on. Tell me.
- Okay, you want the truth? - Yeah. I do.
- You want the truth?
What was up with the fake-ass date?
- Fake-ass date? - Yes.
- You wasn't saying that when you was swallowing
that $100 lobster. - Okay, so what?
How much money you have or spend,
that doesn't even matter to me.
- You say that now, Hilary, but come on.
You know damn well you don't want to walk
red carpets with a fucking Uber driver.
- [scoffs]
Is that what you really think I am?
You really think I'm that obsessed
with the superficial shit in life.
- Look, I see how people look at us.
And that's a you problem.
That's not me.

If Carlton stayed in the running,
chances are, his ass would've beat
the system like he always does.
He would've won the whole thing.
At least the video takes him out for good.
Carlton Banks is someone else's problem now.
- You been coming for Carlton since the first day
we walked into the BSU meeting. - What?
- And then he whooped your ass.
You're the one who AirDropped the video.
- You're welcome.
- You had me and Carlton out here beefing
when it was you the whole damn time.

You finally getting to start.
- I could find somebody else. - No, we good. We good.
- Let's hustle up, West Philly. We got work to do.
We going medium speed. Half court and back.
[whistle blows]
- Okay, well, if I'm gonna get cancelled,
I figured I might as well spread a little raw truth.
Is the video going around of me fake news?
No. It's real.
Very real.
But you want to know what else is real?
- Nice.
- Things I've done to not stand out.
The times I chose not to ask the tough questions
and instead just look the other way.
The times I felt like a fraud.
The times I became my own worst enemy
because I couldn't just get out of my own way.
The times I made selfish choices
at the expense of others.
The times I second-guess myself
and wrestle with self-doubt.
When we should've said "That's not okay."
It's part of the culture here.
A million little moments never caught on camera.
And I know I'm not alone.
No.
I'm just the only one you see.
