In the gripping finale of Will Trent Season 2, showrunners Liz Heldens and Daniel Thomsen reveal the significance of the dramatic flashforward scene that concludes the season. The episode builds to a tense confrontation where Will Trent discovers Angie’s deception—she manipulated evidence to protect Crystal from being implicated in the death of Lenny Broussard. As Will grapples with this betrayal, the episode takes a poignant turn, presenting a lengthy flashforward where Will imagines a future with Angie, including a proposal and a hopeful life together.

Heldens and Thomsen explained that this flashforward was intended to illustrate the profound personal sacrifice Will was making by choosing justice over his relationship with Angie. Thomsen described it as the most dramatic way to showcase what Will was giving up, emphasizing his commitment to his ethical principles, which have always guided him throughout the series. Heldens added that this glimpse into Will’s unspoken desires—a normal life with Angie—served as a powerful contrast to his internal struggles, revealing the depth of his inner wishes.

With Angie now under arrest, Season 3 of Will Trent will explore the repercussions of Will’s decision. The fallout will include not only Angie’s legal consequences but also the broader impact on Will’s relationships and trust within his professional and personal spheres. The new season will delve into how both Will and Angie cope with their fractured trust and the potential for repairing their relationship, amid the fallout from Will’s morally driven choice. The damage done to their bond may prove challenging to mend, setting the stage for a tumultuous and emotionally charged continuation.
