- Title: Will Trent – You Don’t Have to Understand
- IMDb: link
While investigating a double-homicide and looking for a missing pregnant woman who was the intended victim, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) continues to struggle with the emotions of Cricket’s (Susan Kelechi Watson) death. His investigation becomes momentarily focused on a preacher (Jerod Haynes) who he correctly guesses has something to hide, although it turns out not to have anything to deal with the current crime. Meanwhile, Angie (Erika Christensen) returns to work and dives into her own case of murder with Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) involving the death of a selfish fitness nut was poisoned in a spa.
Both mysteries work well and are given enough time, although, in part because of the priest and our detective fighting questions about faith and trust, it takes Trent and Faith (Iantha Richardson) longer to suspect the person responsible, and their motive, than expected. His short conversations with the preacher, and his unexpected delivery of a baby, do a bit to get Will recentered again heading into the remainder of the season.
