Bel-Air Finale Hints At Repeating Fresh Prince Season 4’s Philly Twist
Warning! SPOILERS for Bel-Air season 1.
Bel-Air’s season 1 finale leaves an important question for Will unanswered but hints at repeating Fresh Prince season 4’s Philadelphia twist. The end of Bel-Air season 1 concludes with Will upset with all of his parental figures, including Will's dad, Lou, for disappointing him again and his mother, Aunt Viv, and Uncle Phil for lying to him about Lou all along. Will’s anger leads him to overlook the Los Angeles skyline pondering the answer to one question: will he stay in Bel-Air or move back home to Philadelphia?

As such, it’s not surprising that Bel-Air's season 1 finale is repeating the circumstances of a major decision Will had to make at the end of Fresh Prince season 4 in terms of which city he wanted to call home.
