“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).

Set after the standalone episode structured to take place during a hiatus which focuses on Willis (Jimmy O. Yang) filming various commercials for products he doesn’t really understand, the final two episodes of the series bring the focus back to what’s wrong with the world as Wills asking the same questions his brother did leads to the show painting him as its new bad guy. Meanwhile, having taken Willis’ old job in the restaurant,  Lana (Chloe Bennet) makes a discoveries of her own involving how the citizens of Chinatown are being recycled constantly back into the show (explaining presumed dead characters seen earlier in the season) along with a tie between the lives of Chinatown and the video game at the restaurant from which Jonathan (Chris Pang) has been sending messages to Willis this entire time.

Suspecting her billionaire employer (Warren Christie) may be a serial killer Angelique (Sandra Shapiro) reaches out to Kylie (Travina Springer) and take advantage of her brother’s skills. “Conversation Games” offers an unusual setup with our initial suspect, who certainly meets the basic requirements to be a sociopath, agreeing that a member of his immediate team (who also all fit the right psychological makeup) is the killer and agrees to do whatever he can to help. The plot takes a few twists and turns before Alec (Jesse L. Martin) uncovers the truth with a little more help from Simon (Max Lloyd-Jones) than he was expecting.

  • Title: Will Trent – Abigail B.
  • IMDb: link

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.
