Will Learns Where His Name Came From – Will Trent

In a revealing moment in “Will Trent,” a conversation unearths a surprising connection between Will and Amanda Wagner. It’s uncovered that Amanda’s father, known as Duke, was a police officer, and her mother, Martha Trent, passed away when Amanda was young. Martha’s maiden name was Trent, the same as Will’s last name. When Will learns this, he is left questioning the significance.

Evelyn then drops a bombshell: it was Amanda who found Will as a child. Shocked by this revelation, Will demands to know why Amanda never mentioned it. Evelyn explains that after Amanda found him, she took him home and kept him with her for three weeks, even buying a crib and considering raising him herself. However, at the time, single women couldn’t adopt on their own, and Amanda was heartbroken when she realized she couldn’t keep Will. In an act of love, she gave him the name “Trent” as a way to stay connected to him.

Will is told that Amanda had believed he would be placed with a good family, but for some reason, that plan fell through, and he ended up in the foster care system instead. Though Amanda didn’t know what happened after giving him up, their paths crossed again 19 years later when Will was arrested, and he was brought to Amanda’s police station. This coincidence is described as fate, showing how deeply connected Amanda and Will are, even if their relationship has been complicated and strained.

The revelation leaves Will grappling with his emotions, realizing that Amanda Wagner, despite her tough exterior, has always been a part of his story—a part of his family.
