Compromised is the third episode of the second season of Peacock's modern-day reinterpretation, Bel-Air. It aired on March 9, 2023.
Will rallies the students to stage a protest, putting Carlton in an uncomfortable position.
Tension has built between Will and Tyler due to Will's refusal to play as a team, though Coach Johnson urges the two of them to look forward rather than back. They live and die as a team, and one more win until they're in the state tournament, meaning that they must remain focused. However, Tyler recalls the team calling Will out on his attitude and behavior just for him to go against the coach's orders and do as he pleases. Will apologizes and explains he simply wanted to put the team in place for playoffs. Tyler wants to believe Will, but he questions if he can truly put the team first when the time comes, which Will insists that he will. After Tyler leaves, Lisa approaches after learning about the protest being planned at Will's house. She was hoping to come by but wanted to make sure Will was okay with it given that they're no longer together, which Will insists is fine. Lisa notices that Will is a bit more arrogant than usual, but he claims he's just being himself, which is why he's so invested in the protest with Mrs. Hughes, because where he comes from, they look out for their own. However, Lisa reminds Will this is new territory for Carlton, who she doesn't want being overwhelmed.
Carlton tries to talk the BSU out of doing the walk out, but they're too riled up at this point. Ms. Bassin accuses them of cosplaying as protesters. She instead advises them to think this through. However, Carlton suspects that Ms. Bassin's reluctance to support them has something to do with the new head of school position that opened up. Ms. Bassin reveals that Carlton's name has come up in faculty discussions about the Founder's Award, making him the first black student to ever do so. But if that's to happen, he must shut down the protest and find a way to get the others back in line.
Having overheard Carlton's conversation with Ms. Bassin, Will confronts his cousin, who reveals that the school is afraid of being embarrassed, which doesn't concern Will, who is determined to get Mrs. Hughes her job back. With Carlton at the center of it, given that he brought the problem to the BSU, he's finally exhibiting the qualities of a leader that he's always wanted to be.
Ashley is visibly upset, blaming herself for Mrs. Hughes firing, but Phil and Viv insists it wasn't her doing, with Hilary assuring Ashley that when her school sees this, they'll regret firing her. However, Ashley has her doubts that justice will prevail.
The BSU has gathered at the Banks' mansion as planned. There, Carlton delegates while Yazmin thanks those in attendance. They need to stand up for their teachers and books that depict the black experience honestly. Tyler arrives, offering any assistance. He figured they could use his expertise, since he's been in trouble with the school more than anyone else. Additionally, he loved Mrs. Hughes as well. Will then instructs Carlton to work in Yazmin's group to get closer to her.
After sending Carlton off, Will is approached by Uncle Phil, who asks him to keep an eye on Carlton now that he's weaning off his meds. He's counting on Will to report back to him if he notices anything out of the ordinary. Will then asks if Uncle Phil looked into Doc, which he did. While he seems to be involved in a lot of things that could be helpful to Will, Uncle Phil isn't quite sure about him. Will has come a long way, and Uncle Phil doesn't want him rushing into anything that's not in his best interest.
