When it wrecked us: Season one, episode six ("Mistaken Identity")
Why it wrecked us: On their way to Palm Springs, Will and Carlton are pulled over by the police, who believe they're driving a stolen vehicle. They're taken into custody and are eventually bailed out when Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv straighten things out. Back at home, Carlton says that the officers were just doing their jobs, but Will asserts that they were taken in because they were two Black men driving a nice car in a predominantly white neighbourhood. Although Carlton wants to believe that the system works, he's visibly hurt and frustrated when he's forced to reckon with the reality of racial profiling.
