Will Trent – No Faith in Second Chances

  • Title: Will Trent – No Faith in Second Chances
  • IMDb: link

As Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) investigate a body found under a house after a fire which seems to trace back to Rafael (Antwayn Hopper), Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) investigate the murder of a young woman where all the evidence points to Angie’s former coworker (Dan Gill) who proclaims his innocence for the crime (along with the original crime which he was sent to jail for years before). Despite her initial belief in his guilt, so much so she even takes a shot at him in the episode, Angie begins to suspect that his claim of being framed might not be as outrageous as it initially seems (although she has trouble getting anyone in the department to agree with her).

Will Trent – Breathe with Me

  • Title: Will Trent – Breathe with Me

While staying with Faith (Iantha Richardson), Evelyn Mitchell (LisaGay Hamilton) is abducted leading to an episode that explores the strained mother/daughter relationship of the pair as Faith, Will (Ramón Rodríguez), Angie (Erika Christensen), and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) all work the case. The focus on Faith and her mother allows the show to put some emotional distance between Will and Angie who are both completely dialed in to finding Faith’s mother. “Breathe with Me” also shows Evelyn’s mind is sharp as ever an she still has a few tricks up her sleeve managing to stay alive long enough to be found. No tragedy here as Evelyn is returned safely and mother and daughter become closer  than they have in years.

Will Trent – Floor Is Lava

  • Title: Will Trent – Floor Is Lava
  • IMDb: link

In an episode that involves Will (Ramón Rodríguez), Angie (Erika Christensen), Faith (Iantha Richardson) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) all awkwardly trying not to disturb evidence (in the sequence which provides the episode its title), “Floor Is Lava” is most notable for walking Will and Angie through a series of meetings from some awkward on-the-job discussions to a tearful confrontation after hours to an honest break in their relationship that leaves the two firmly separated. Going along with this theme is another appearance of Marion (Gina Rodriguez) confirming her as Will’s new love interest.

Will Trent – Find a New Pond

  • Title: Will Trent – Find a New Pond

“Find a New Pond” continues to push the show back to a status quo. While working at her security job, Angie (Erika Christensen) uncovers dark secrets at Waldorf Estates which put her in danger but also appear to have provided the extra push necessary to be reinstated to the force. While the episode makes note of Amanda’s (Sonja Sohn) new situation with Sunny (Kyrie Mcalpin), we don’t see developments on-screen relating to the duo (which suits me just fine as I’m not looking forward to the day this subplot begins taking serious chunks of time from the main characters).

Will Trent – Sunny-Side Up

  • Title: Will Trent – Sunny-Side Up
  • IMDb: link

“Sunny-Side Up” wraps up the two-part season opener getting Will (Ramón Rodríguez) reestablished at the GBI after recovering the kidnapped daughter Sunny (Kyrie Mcalpin) of Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) and clearing his old frenemy of any charges. The move of Amanda (Sonja Sohn) taking in Sunny and Will’s final confrontation with Wexford suggests these two will be sticking around for much of the season. We also see Will getting back into the good graces of Faith (Iantha Richardson) and the (somewhat unbelievable) story of Angie (Erika Christensen) potentially returning to the department continues as well. And it appears both Will and Angie will be getting new friends with the potential for more in the return of Gina Rodriguez and the introduction of Dan Gill.
