Will Trent‘s return within the 2025 TV schedule virtually felt like a unique present, with Will himself not even carrying his regular fits and Angie working a painfully mundane job after being booted from APD. Nicely, the most recent episode – known as “Discover a New Pond” – virtually has the present again to the established order with Angie getting her job again and rejoining Ormewood on the police pressure. It was a twist that was fairly inevitable, however nonetheless got here with some enjoyable surprises for me after I would thought ABC spoiled what was subsequent for Erika Christensen’s character within the promo the week earlier than.
Angie began out the third episode of Season 3 within the wake of her impassioned speech to the APD panel within the hopes of returning to her outdated job, and she or he hadn’t but obtained a solution by the point “Discover a New Pond” picked up. A case did fall into her lap, although, when a swan turned up lifeless on the nation membership group with a severed finger in its mouth. (You’ll be able to stream the episode now with a Hulu subscription.)
Ormewood and Co. on the APD have been considerably reluctant to assist her in case it worsened her odds of reinstatement, however there was no selection after proof seemingly linked the crime to innocent handyman John, who Angie had met within the earlier episode… and who undoubtedly wasn’t as innocent as he appeared, as Ormewood discovered that John had been convicted of the rape and homicide of a teenage lady.
And most of this had been teased within the promo that had aired the earlier week, so I assumed that Angie’s large showdown of the episode would occur after she was locked in a room alone with John. Absolutely that will tie to the GBI case of the week and in the end be how she proved her mettle as a cop and gained again her job at APD, proper? In case you missed it final week, have a look:
Watch On
Joke’s on me! Not solely was Angie’s storyline virtually completely separated from Will’s as he resumed working with Religion, however John the murderous handyman was a purple herring whose relevance light effectively earlier than the top of the episode. Angie as a substitute linked the dots to trace down the true killer, who had been hiding immigration papers to pressure staff to remain at his household’s poultry farm. A fairly ugly battle ensued, however Angie gained, and she or he was welcomed again to the APD earlier than the credit rolled.
And it is not typically that I am glad to be flawed, however I certain am comfortable to see that not solely did ABC keep away from spoiling one of many largest twists of Season 3 to this point, however it left a few of Erika Christensen’s strongest moments unseen till the episode truly aired. It was an thrilling hour of tv, though the promo did give away that Will at the least was setting apart any hopes of rekindling his relationship together with his longtime love. Kudos to the community for maintaining a good lid on a very powerful components of the case that introduced Angie again to the job she loves!
As for a way she and Ormewood work collectively after their separation, hold tuning in to ABC on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET for brand spanking new episodes of Will Trent Season 3, forward of Excessive Potential at 9 p.m. ET and The Rookie at 10 p.m. ET. Of the three Tuesday reveals, Kaitlin Olson’s Excessive Potential is the one one to be renewed for the 2025-2026 TV schedule to this point, however that is hardly a nasty signal for Will Trent and/or The Rookie.
