I called it, from the first time that Amira offered that dead sister story when she was a no- show at the dinner party at Carlton's house! It stunk to high heaven as a front, even then! Why would she not have mentioned her dead sister's anniversary, when Carlton had initially invited her?! I knew then, this girl had serious problems!

[@ltsoul9751]

So Phil is infallible and always does the "right" thing. I disagree wholeheartedly

[@BellesView]

Honestly, Phil should’ve continued the partnership with Erica’s firm. Staking his whole business on Omar Campbell was a bad move. Now that Jazz has been arrested, this gives Fred Wilkes more ammo to crack down on protesters and make an example out of them. In season 1, during his campaign it’s obvious Fred is a yes man. Between Jazz being a friend of the Banks family, Viv’s disdain for Fred and Angela, and the dirt he has on Will, that’s enough to try and blackball Phil.

[@ltsoul9751]

@BellesView yeah i agree he should have and Viv never on cam asked him to leave, and looking at how she threw her husband to another woman on their trip, i don't think she would've been bothered. But i think these two n the audience just so used to being on Phil side he's just always right, and Will didn't start the fire, i wouldn't care personally or take responsibility for something i didn't do. I hate that Will didn't last or stand on his resolution he had the night before and how he just told Caelton everything, made it less suspenseful, few bad writing choices imo

[@TooSharpENT]

thought I was the only that that didn't like Carlton gf cus she irks my nerves ngl

[@aarondrew4272]

Your not the only one lol 😂😂 the whole season I gotta vibe from her like she hiding something

Amira get on my mf nerves fam🤣

[@aaliyahthomas1456]

I've been trying to give Amira the benefit of the doubt. Ik people who are really that outspoken. But they are not on drugs and have a lot more emotional and social awareness. Lol. I don't like her anymore though. She was doing too much and always wants to be upset about something.

[@snootyvegans]

That. Part. She lives for drama. 😩

[@XOGANG918]

@@aaliyahthomas1456 she everything that people say Jackie is but people don’t wanna have that conversation Amira is shady ash and mean for no reason smh

[@aaliyahthomas1456]

@OVOOXOXO I never even compared the two lol. Jackie is just a social butterfly trying to find her tribe. A little oblivious, but never malicious intent. That's obvious. Amira really be thinking things through. She knows exactly how she comes across and what ppls issue is with her. Absolutely crazy. Smh

[@XOGANG918]

@@aaliyahthomas1456 I know lmao I was talking about the people who hates Jackie. But Carlton needs to wake up tho because Amira is bad news like who lies about their dead sister man

[@aaliyahthomas1456]

@OVOOXOXO true very true. I am a really empathetic person. So, I cry when I watch emotional scenes on TV shows or movies. I didn't shed one tear the first time she said it. I was thinking "why does it sound like a lie?" Lol

[@Hinokami777]

This episode ruined the entire series they really turned the phenomenal iconic Phil and Vivian into some dirty swingers !!!!??? Who idea was that? I bet it was someone of Caucasian decent….. tired of this woke crap in our shows. They love destroying the image of our most loved characters

[@traylee9392]

Take a breath, love. They’re not swingers (also, black people swing & swingers aren’t “dirty”). They entertained the idea & decided it wasn’t for them. That’s it that’s all.

[@tyizzle80]

You are a little too rigid. The Original show was a Comedy and a Sitcom. It also was on network television so its PG13. This is a ADULT SHOW So you can't say what people would do behind closed doors. It was no big deal. It wasnt like they were doing this behind their partners back. If 15 minutes ruin hours of show for you Then all your shows will be ruined.

[@MoisePicard-xe3sd]

I've watched every single episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

[@cruzanshaker]

Phil and VIv being freak nasty on their vacay was the highlight of this episode. Who ever thought this where they took it. Im highly annoyed at Carlton gf. She just got so much to say knowing her history...

[@tyizzle80]

Thee cutest ones alway start the most problems. I glad my vibes about Amira was right.

[@tyizzle80]

I thought Will didn't go to the construction site.

[@Marc.antz1]

JADA AND WILL ARENT MARRIED LIKE THAT 20:30 😭😭

[@zanelebpearls]

The Jazz tax jab from Calton was very classist.

[@reece6583]

LOVED this episode but Amira is so on my nerves. She's one of those ppl that loves drama and stirring the pot. The were to have a fun little hangout/pool party & she just killed the whole vibe. It was so weird seeing Geoffrey nervous, embarrassed and unsure of himself -- it was really cute. I just hope he can trust Penelope And Punta Mita🍹🍾🥂 Glad they all let their hair down without going TOO far. I do wonder if we'll be seeing Teanna & Caleb again tho. *Also, one of those other 2 Alpha men at the resort looked so familiar. The shorter one looks like that guy that used to be an extra on A Different World whenever they had stepping or fraternity anything. He must've been a stepping choreographer or something. Sure looks like him just older

[@Hinokami777]

If you’re ever bored with your partner to the point you want someone else to sleep with or be with…. Then that’s a failure. Also an insult to what a marriage consists of. Making a mockery of god. Never did he say yall can venture out to others when yall damn relationship is getting stale! End the marriage then. You should never be getting bored with your significant other. That makes things messy. Now when y’all have sex, she will think about the other man and make her more turned on. Cause of him. Not you. It doesn’t make the relationship better. Ofc she’s happier cause she gets her cake and eat it too. Like why get married ????? Stay single then. There’s no love there. You have vowels to be loyal and devoted for life. Death do us part. Just to get bored and break those promises to spice things up…..

[@Cameo96_]

The way yall didnt like the fast and furious episode is the way I didn't like this freaky ahh episode. I went to the end when Jazz and them were vandalizing the construction site and went straight to episode 8.

[@sandmanofchaos]

Not a fan of Will clearly self-inserting his relationship with Jada into this show, turning Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv into swingers is weird especially since Viv was just mad at Phil for a kiss he got from Erica and now full on having sex with other people is alright? At least ease the audience into the idea, they did all this in one episode lol.

[@p234gr8]

exactly

[@Cameo96_]

I turned it off and went to episode 8. It was unnecessarily freaky.

[@Artistikk]

But they didn't do anything lol. They didn't have sex with other people, or even kiss. We didn't see them do anything besides talk and "share company" with the other couple. Yeah they briefly entertained the idea but ultimately they decided they only wanted each other so what are you even complaining about? Them trying to figure out if they wanted to try something new? She wasn't even mad that the kiss happened; she was mad that her husband didn't tell her about it, then LIED to her face and tried to gaslight her when she directly asked what was up with Erica.

[@tiaraw872]

Yes Viv was upset about the kiss but at the same time before she even knew about it she was eyeing the chef that she paid for and even after finding out about the kiss she still became more flirtatious with him. Then the conversations with her friends about open marriage plays a part too. So honestly it’s not surprising. But at the end of the day they actually didn’t have sex with another couple & said that type of lifestyle isn’t for them so 🤷🏽‍♀️..they just did this to “spice” it up a lil, you just didn’t like the taste that’s all 😂😭

[@panashe5268]

Will Smith is only an executive producer. He’s not credited as a showrunner, producer or editor. He has nothing to do with the final script and storylines that are developed. Also anyone who’s done research on Will and Jada’s relationship knows they aren’t swingers that’s just a popular theory that both parties have shut down on numerous occasions. News flash, Will and Jada aren’t the only human beings in a relationship.
