While investigating what happened to a shipment of guns, and what a white supremacist organization might use them for, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) gets attacked and goes missing leaving Faith (Iantha Richardson) to continue the investigation and Angie (Erika Christensen) to Wagner (Sonja Sohn) to worry. Speaking of Angie, she gets her own case of the week looking into robbery and murder tied to expensive running shoes. The two stories are tied together with Trent’s discovery of a pregnancy test in his home and flashbacks to some incredibly well-cat younger versions of Trent (Andres Velez) and Angie (Savannah Hutson) centered around a similar situation during their childhood.

Will Trent – The Look Out

  • Title: Will Trent – The Look Out

Betting a local cop he can solve a robbery homicide in a single night gets Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) into a jam when the obvious explanation, a gang of thieves making just these kinds of robberies in the same neighborhood, turns out not to be responsible. Showcasing a bit of our detective’s ego, “The Look Out” is a fun episode even if the return of the Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) B-story crime turns out to be pretty forgettable. The episode also offers another example of how his on-again/off-again relationship with Angie prevents him from considering other options such as an artist (Julia Chan) turned suspect who he put in jail (but that didn’t stop her from flirting with him throughout the episode).

Will Trent – Don’t Let It Happen Again

The third episode of Will Trent takes some unexpected turns as a pair of recent killings tie back to the murder of a family decades before. Although the episode tips its hand a bit as to who the killer is, the reveal still works especially in how the climax affects Faith (Iantha Richardson). We get a little more bonding between Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith, a quick look at how Trent has grown attached to Betty, and in the subplot an old mistake comes back to bite Angie (Erika Christensen) leading her back to Trent for comfort. More murder of the week than the first two episodes, “Don’t Let It Happen Again” is a solid episode even if the show still hasn’t gotten me sold on its subplots yet.
