Will Trent Episode 11 Recap: “Secrets, Lies, and Dangerous Games”
- Posted on 12 September, 2024
The next day, Will goes to Rosa’s apartment for lunch. As they talk, Rosa’s dad starts to cough from his room down the hall. Rosa is annoyed, and her behavior seems to contradict her previously displayed compassion for her relatives. Suspicious, Will watches Rosa open the door to the room where her father is resting, then move across the hall to her own bedroom and close the door. He takes the opportunity to creep down the hall, learning that the man coughing isn’t Rosa’s father but missing DEA Agent Matthew Menaker (Malcolm Spears). He is drugged and chained to a bed. Unfortunately, Will is caught, with Rosa pointing a gun at his back. “You’re C.K.,” Will realizes out loud. Her brother Gabriel returns home and Will tells Rosa she can trust him. She demands an act of loyalty to prove himself, ordering him to kill a vlogger who lives downstairs. Will is given a knife to do the job, and Gabriel will join him to supervise. The vlogger is doing a live stream, so Rosa plans to watch from her phone.
Angie approaches the apartment door of her former abuser, met by the sounds of an argument from inside. She opens the door to find Crystal’s mom Diane (Brittany Wilkerson) screaming at Lenny (French Stewart), who she caught trying to touch Crystal, who came home when she thought the place would be empty. The presence of Angie sets Lenny off, and he attacks her. She is able to overpower him, getting him on his knees and held at bay at gunpoint. But before Angie can do anything, Crystal returns from the kitchen with a knife and stabs it into the side of Lenny’s neck. He falls to the floor dead. Diane freaks out, and Angie comes up with a plan. The girls are to go to the mall and see the next movie showing. That’s their alibi. She will take the blame for Lenny’s death. After they leave, she goes to the kitchen and grabs a rolling pin to beat herself with it to create wounds that will make Lenny’s death look like an act of self-defense.
Will bursts into the apartment of vlogger Taylor (Liv Bryant), but ambushes Gabriel, using the door to knock him unconscious. He pulls the plug on Taylor’s computer and explains that they were ordered to be executed, but he’s actually with the GBI. Will ties Gabriel up, asks Taylor to call the GBI and ask for Faith Mitchell, and also requests their supply of Naloxone to reverse an overdose. He warns Taylor to stay in the apartment and not make a sound as Rosa needs to believe they’re dead.
When Will returns to Rosa’s apartment, she is administering a drug to Agent Menaker. Will begins to seduce her, and she falls for it. He pulls Rosa’s gun out of her waistband and pulls it on her. She realizes instantly that he was a cop, threatening that her crew will be there to kill him before the police arrive. Will calls her bluff and administers the Naloxone to Agent Menaker, releasing him from his handcuffs and carrying him out of the apartment. At the bottom of the stairs, some of Rosa’s goons try to stop Will, and he takes them down. He finds Taylor and another neighbor, Marcos (Ulisses Gonsalves), about to drive away, loading Menaker into the car and joining the getaway party.
Michael Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) finds his partner Angie on the floor of Lenny’s apartment. He asks her what happened, and she describes an attack in which Lenny beat her with a rolling pin, and she managed to get free by stabbing him. But since the attack occurred in the living room but with kitchen objects, Michael instantly sees holes in Angie’s story. Rather than pushing back, he offers to help her stage the crime scene to make it believable.
Will is still in his Bill Black hoodie, an unusual look for the three-piece suit detective. His boss, Amanda Wagner (Sonja Sohn), tells him to go home and take a shower. Rosa is in custody, and all of her places are being raided. Agent Menaker is in detox and will recover. Before Will leaves, she mentions that his Bill Black days may not be behind him since he did such a good job with that cover.
Will goes to the hospital to see Angie, who is recuperating. He realizes that the drugs he found in the apartment were meant to kill Lenny and make it look like an accidental overdose. He apologizes for thinking she was on drugs. Angie apologizes for their most recent one-night stand and announces her intentions to move out of Will’s house. “Do what you gotta do, Ange,” he tells her. They hold hands for a moment before he leaves.
