  • IMDb: link

Presented after the fact through flashbacks and recollections, “Best of Your Recollection” involves a shaken Will Trent  (Ramón Rodríguez) recapping events which led to the unfortunate shooting of a young teenage boy. Kecia Lewis guest-stars as the gruff Internal Affairs investigator who separately grills both Will and Faith (Iantha Richardson) about events before eventually closing the case largely due to evidence uncovered by Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin). We also see Marion (Gina Rodriguez) attempting to help Will through a difficult time and the explosion of events involving Faith’s son hitting the fan.

Will Trent – Regarding the Death of Whitney McAdams

While it’s a family affair for Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) investigating a man murdered over a sandwich, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) look into the murder of a teenage girl who seemed to have trouble with everyone at a prestigious dance academy. The show brings back the trope of Will being haunted by Whitney McAdams (Briyana Guadalupe) who forces him to look deeper into the situation and uncover not only the truth of a murder by also exposing a stepfather gaslighting his teenage daughter.

Will Trent – This Kid’s Gonna Be Alright

  • Title: Will Trent – This Kid’s Gonna Be Alright
  • IMDb: link

“This Kid’s Gonna Be Alight” is most notable for the show’s epilogue. In investigating a murder of a rapper, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) begin investigating the studio which is a front for Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) to launder money and happens to be the same studio where Faith’s son Jeremy (Deion Smith) is working. Attempting to prove himself to Rafael, and keep his job after the GBI insinuate themselves into his business once more, Jeremy makes the biggest mistake of his life which provides Will only a single option to save the young man’s future (and also, coincidentally, push forward Will’s investigation into Rafael and his current activities).

Will Trent – Abigail B.

  • Title: Will Trent – Abigail B.

Arresting a man (John Ales) involved in child trafficking, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and the GBI with the help of Marion (Gina Rodriguez) work to find the missing girl before she disappears forever. The ticking clock adds tension, as does Will’s guilt over not acting sooner and discovering the girl’s abduction too late. The major piece of the interrogation involves a bit of deception by Faith (Iantha Richardson) and the group into giving the man the immunity asked for, but not quite when or how he expected. While being helpful in the case to successfully trick the suspect, Marion plays a big role. However, the show doesn’t gloss over her recent trauma and incorporates that into the ongoing story.

Will Trent – Mariachi Shelley’s Frankenstein

In the middle of a tropical storm, with the building locked down, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Angie (Erika Christensen) search for a serial killer on the lose while Dr. Chen (Kurt Yue) fights to save the life of the killer’s latest victim. While I feel there are some obvious scenes missing between the last episode and the beginning of this one with Will now completely onboard with Angie’s assertions that John (Dan Gill) isn’t the killer they are looking for, events pick up with the discovery of a new body hidden in the elevator shaft and the wounded Caroline (Christina Wren).
