Most finales depart viewers hanging till the subsequent season, so it was a reduction that we do not have to undergo the identical destiny.
There was tons of motion and heart-racing drama because the workforce looked for Angie on Will Trent Season 1 Episode 13. These scenes had been interspersed with Amanda and Evelyn coping with Lucy’s disappearance in 1986.
Whereas there wasn’t a cliffhanger, how these two circumstances match collectively was surprising. I by no means would have guessed the perpetrator and was on the sting of my seat.
It is an enormous shock that James was revealed because the serial killer. I totally anticipated the shady cops, Butch and Rick, to be concerned.
Seeing how sexual assault circumstances had been dealt with within the Nineteen Eighties was sickening. Solely Amanda and Evelyn cared about these ladies, and the male cops threatened that in the event that they saved investigating, they’d get damage too.
Girls’s instinct isn’t going to search out this man. We are going to.
Butch
Butch was as large of an boastful jerk within the current, too, so he was straightforward prey. Even Will thought he was a suspect after solely speaking to him briefly. I hated how he nonetheless referred to prostitutes as “whores.” It was so sexist.
With that in thoughts, it was straightforward for James to persuade Amanda that Butch was an evil monster, however one other homicide occurred as Butch was within the hospital.
There have been all these clues the GBI and viewers missed. The woman serving James in Will Trent Season 1 Episode 12 additionally wore vibrant crimson nail polish like Lucy’s. He referred to as Will “trash can” when he ran him over, his nickname from childhood.
I’m proper behind you, trash can.
The Killer
Paul was additionally important as a result of he concurrently acknowledged the cleaning soap and lotion on James’s fingers, and Will realized an error in James’s notes.
What was James’s motivation to harm Angie? Why did he need revenge on Will? James killed so many victims to show his level.
James blamed Will as a result of Lucy died in childbirth, so he needed to take the opposite particular person Will cherished essentially the most. It was disgusting that James thought Lucy loved being raped and that he thought he was innocent.
James tried to take each Angie and Betty, however Angie ran again for Betty as a substitute of escaping. That confirmed actual development on Angie’s half since, originally of Will Trent Season 1, Angie could not stand that canine.
Now, Angie acknowledged how a lot Betty meant to Will and risked her life to maintain her secure.
Erika Christensen gave such a layered efficiency as Angie fought for her life at Will’s place and Jame’s residence.
Angie was a fighter, and she or he wasn’t giving up. She needed to flee, however James saved stopping her till Will arrived.
Will was crammed with extra rage than ever. He would have killed James for murdering Lucy and torturing Angie if she hadn’t stopped him.
Ultimately, he was virtually useless, so he’ll both die a sluggish, painful demise within the hospital or jail for all these murders.
Like many foster youngsters, Will has longed to belong to somebody and have somebody love him. He all the time felt like a misfit on the foster and group houses, and this sense was intensified by the foster dad and mom and foster siblings ridiculing him due to his dyslexia.
He felt so disconnected, and the homicide images had been the primary footage he’d ever seen of Lucy. He had been disadvantaged of understanding his historical past for therefore lengthy.
Will: That is the primary image I’ve seen of my mom.
Amanda: She was nice, Will, actually particular.
Will: No, we’re not doing that now. You’ve had over 15 years to inform me who my mom was.
Amanda meant properly. She thought she was defending Will, however she solely ended up hurting him. Will had been alone for therefore lengthy till Amanda rescued him and noticed his distinctive means of seeing the world. It now made sense why she was so protecting of Will.
Studying Amanda’s and Will’s backstories had been important in order that Will might forgive her for protecting a lot from him. Issues had been totally different within the Nineteen Eighties. It was practically unimaginable for a single African-American lady to undertake a child.
It was the 80s. Single ladies couldn’t undertake infants on their very own again then. Shedding you broke her coronary heart, so she gave you the one factor she might – your identify.
Evelyn
If Amanda had raised Will, issues would have been totally different. He would by no means have met Angie, the opposite most vital lady in his life.
Will wanted assist from each of his determine figures to beat this serial killer. It was such an emotional scene seeing a “heavenly” Lucy consolation and encourage her son.
I’m so sorry, child. I do know it’s been exhausting. But when anybody can do it, it’s you.
Lucy
Will had craved his mom’s approval all his life, so seeing her for a number of moments gave him hope.
Now that Will is aware of he has two mothers that cherished him, will he have the ability to heal and forgive Amanda?
Will Trent Season 1 has had its ups and downs, however this was a satisfying finale, even with out cliffhangers. We’re so relieved that Angie survived and that Will and Amanda made peace.
The collection shines when the whole solid works a case collectively. Will, Ormewood, and Religion have really change into buddies and work properly as a workforce. All of them cared about discovering Angie.
Who did not love seeing Ormewood have Will’s again on the stake-out and shoot Butch? Seeing them gang up in opposition to the dangerous guys as a substitute of one another is pleasing.
Having Mark-Paul Gosselarr return once more as Paul was additionally a deal with. He and Will virtually acted like brothers lastly when Paul awkwardly hugged Will and saved him secure after James bought Angie. Their interactions are amusing; hopefully, there shall be extra in Season 2.
We’re excited to see what occurs subsequent on Will Trent Season 2.
What repercussions will Angie undergo from her assault?
How will Will and Amanda’s relationship change? Would you wish to see extra of Evelyn in Season 2?
