Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from Will Trent season 3, episode 13, “One of Us Now.”
The storyline of Will Trent seems to be on the verge of revisiting the tumultuous romantic connection between Will and Angie. While the show has painted a picture of their on-and-off relationship since its inception, season 3 raises eyebrows as it hints at rekindling their romance. After the dramatic events of the season 2 finale—which saw Will arrest Angie—viewers were left with the impression that their love story had reached its conclusion. Yet, as season 3 unfolds, it appears to be setting the stage for a reunion that is, frankly, rushing into disaster.
Excitingly, Will Trent has been renewed for a fourth season, slated to air in the 2025–2026 network TV season.
Following the tense finale of season 2, both Will and Angie maintained a sizable distance. Angie concentrated on regaining her job, while Will took some time away in Tennessee. When they finally crossed paths again, the tension was palpable, reflecting their unresolved issues. Since that awkward meeting, they have remained professionally amicable, with hopes of restoring their friendship. However, as they both began dating other individuals, it seemed as if they were moving on—until the events of season 3, episode 13.

Will Kisses Angie
In this pivotal episode, Will goes undercover to dismantle a cult, which quickly spirals out of control, leading him to be captured and sedated with “sacred water”—actually laced with drugs. Thankfully, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) comes to the rescue. Among them are Angie, Faith, and Ormewood, who are infiltrating the cult’s hideout in the woods. During the chaos, Angie finds Will, and his intoxicated state leads to some questionable decisions and bold statements.

The Potential Repercussions of Will & Angie’s Reunion
Revisiting Their Past Mistakes
Reflecting on their time together, it’s clear that Will and Angie are treading dangerous waters. History shows that their endeavors in romance have often led to heartache. By re-engaging with each other, they risk repeating mistakes that have already caused significant turmoil in their lives. Data supports that cycles of toxic relationships often lead to predictable outcomes, and for Will and Angie, reuniting could harbor similar consequences.
They have barely allocated time to rebuild their friendship after the tumultuous events surrounding Angie’s arrest. Instead of rushing back to romance, they need to resolve their personal demons first. In particular, Will’s trauma from the incident where he accidentally shot a young teenager in season 3, episode 11, complicates their potential reconciliation. Without proper closure and healing, rekindling their romance could severely hinder both character growth and narrative progression in Will Trent.
The Complicated Nature of Will & Angie’s Relationship
Their Shared Trauma Bonds Them
The emotional connection between Will and Angie is rich yet incredibly complex. Their shared experiences and challenges forge a strong bond, enabling them to relate to each other on a level few others can reach. However, this history does not guarantee that they are meant to be together romantically. Rather, the focus should be on nurturing a robust friendship in season 3, rather than rushing headlong into a rekindled romance that is sure to end in heartache. The implications of forcing their relationship can only lead to significant and unnecessary drama for both characters moving forward.
