I actually think Santa Clara, along with St Mary's is one of the under-appreciated gems of the Bay Area. Now if he'd gone to San Jose State of SF State, they could give him shit all day.
Nice to see Will growing and learning, and reflecting on the impact and wider impacts of what he did.
The scene in bed was a nice reminder of Will the child on the cusp of manhood.
I also don't see any issues with Will, Darius and JJ. They are just brothers being brothers. Darius will fade from the stories as Ace has.
Tony is growing too as happens in that first year in college when you realize those social pressures that existed in high school are gone, or at least different, and you have room to grow and explore.
Last note, I find it interesting how Will chapters seem to get more reviews and evoke more emotional responses.
