Will Trent - Residente o Visitante

While a good chunk of the first-half of the episode features Will (Ramón Rodríguez) in Puerto Rico with Antonio (John Ortiz), his part in an investigation doesn’t begin until he’s back home and discovers one of the friends he met on the island has been killed in Atlanta. The episode works to play on Antonio’s distrust of the police, particularly the FBI whose past with Puerto Rico is far from stellar, as well as give a chance for Will, Antonio, and the recovering Angie (Erika Christensen) to all work together to solve a crime the current FBI agent in charge (Christy St. John) seems all too willing to sweep under the rug.
