Riddle me this - what do games, early 's TV shows, and America's loneliness epidemic have in common? The latest episode of Will Trent, of course! And I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed it! All rights reserved. This week's crime was kind of a mess: A contract researcher for the Department of Defense, Lloyd Witham Matthew Swift , responsible for developing a stealth drone, is shot by a dog groomer, Helen Anderson Eden Malyn.
Witham doesn't die, but the attempt on his life is a national security concern. She even tells them, "You're going to feel so stupid when you find out who I am," as she's being led away in handcuffs. The woman thinks she's CIA and has immunity. Fast forward a few scenes and Will and Faith find Witham's research assistant dead and his killer, Kent Demis Harp , sobbing in the bathtub.
He's never stabbed anyone before, and there's so much blood, but it's okay because he works for the CIA. It turns out that Helen and Kent were recruited by their "handler," Cutter, via an online fandom of the TV show "Alias. The show made significant strides with its romantic leads and the ensemble cast, a necessary evolution for the longevity of any TV show. The meta narratives, distractions, and the loneliness exposed by the crime mirrored the journey the cast undertook in the episodeβa stroke of genius.
For example, Det. He ends up confiding to Faith that he's lonely and his divorce is bleeding him dry. Faith empathizes and asks him out for dinner. She also extends a helping hand to Will by giving him the opportunity to say how he's feeling as it's his first case working with Det. Angie Polaski Erika Christensen since he arrested her.
Faith isn't the only one helping. Amanda, now the caretaker of the gang leader's daughter, Sunny, helps the girl learn how to deal with the trauma of being kidnapped. Sunny witnessed Amanda kick Glenn Evans' butt and said, "That was badass! The episode's pacing was impeccable, especially as it dealt with the romantic leads whose relationship had been a topic of much debate among fans.
