In The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air season 3 episode 5 titled "Mama's Baby, Carlton's Maybe," the Banks family is thrown for a loop when Aunt Janice drops off a surprise package – her newborn son, whom she claims is Carlton's brother! The family is in disbelief as they try to get to the bottom of Janice's claim. While everyone tries to process this shocking news, Carlton is left feeling conflicted about his family's history and his responsibility to the baby.

As the episode progresses, the family becomes increasingly invested in the baby's well-being and decides to track down the true father. However, Carlton is hesitant to do so, as he's grown attached to the child. He begins to question his own identity and how this newfound information will change his perception of himself and his family.

As tensions rise, the family's conflicting opinions come to light. While Will is firmly in Carlton's corner, Uncle Phil is skeptical and believes that Janice is just looking for a handout. The situation is further complicated when the baby's mother shows up, claiming that Carlton is the father after a night of passion. Carlton is hurt and confused, but ultimately decides to do the right thing and take responsibility for the child.

Throughout the episode, themes of responsibility, family, and identity are explored in typical Fresh Prince fashion. Will provides comedic relief with his quips and jokes, while the rest of the family delivers heartfelt performances as they come to terms with this unexpected twist in their family history.

In the end, the family comes together to support each other and the new addition to their family. Carlton learns a valuable lesson about responsibility and maturity, and the Banks household becomes just a little bit bigger. "Mama's Baby, Carlton's Maybe" is a memorable episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that showcases the show's ability to balance humor with heartwarming storytelling.
