While Will spends the night in jail, his mother gets help from Will’s Uncle Phil, a high-powered lawyer who pulls strings to ensure his release and offers to keep him safe in Los Angeles, far from the gang leader’s revenge. To interrupt the resulting beatdown, Will pulls a gun from Tray’s backpack and shoots it in the air, then aims it at the gang leader until the cops pull up and arrest him. “Bel-Air” ups the stakes to justify the drastic relocation: One night, after finishing a game, Will’s best friend Tray is wrongfully accused of hitting a gang leader in the face with a basketball. Its theme song explained why Will moved across the country, while showing him being spun around in the air by a local bully. The sitcom’s titular character, though loosely based on the experiences of music executive Benny Medina, leaned heavily on the real-life personality of Will Smith: a charismatic, streetwise teen with an aptitude for music, talent on the basketball court and skills with the ladies.
