Ramón Rodríguez Teases a Wild Season 3 Finale for Will Trent, Including Explosive Showdowns, Dance Moves, and Big Revelations
As Will Trent heads into its final episodes of Season 3, the stakes have never been higher. Series lead Ramón Rodríguez, who portrays the emotionally complex and often troubled Will, is giving fans a glimpse into the whirlwind of chaos and emotional turmoil that will unfold in the final stretch of episodes. From heart-wrenching moral dilemmas to mind-bending hallucinations, Season 3 promises a finale that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Will Trent’s Rollercoaster Ride
Season 3 has been a ride like no other for Will Trent, who started the season attempting to leave behind his past mistakes, including the painful decision to part ways with his romantic interest, Angie (Erika Christensen), after turning her in for covering up a murder. Will’s journey to find solace has led him to a quieter life in Tennessee with his best friend, Betty, and away from the GBI. But, as the season progresses, it becomes clear that Will’s past cannot be outrun for long.
Dragged back into the chaos by the enigmatic Rafael Wexler (Antwayn Hopper), Will is forced to face old wounds and make difficult choices that test his resolve. Along the way, he forms new romantic relationships, with Gina Rodriguez’s Marion offering him a healthy connection, while Angie begins to heal and move on with Scott Foley’s Seth.
However, things take a dark turn after a fateful incident in which Will accidentally shoots and kills a teenager during a high-stakes confrontation. The guilt from this tragedy sends Will spiraling into depression, ultimately leading to his emotional withdrawal from Marion. In a bid to escape his overwhelming grief, Will goes undercover in a cult, which turns out to be both a harrowing and bizarre chapter in his already tumultuous journey.
A Dance to Remember: The Hallucination Episode
In the surreal episode “One of Us Now,” Will experiences a fever dream after being drugged by the cult. In a sequence that’s as strange as it is captivating, Will dances with Angie, Faith (Iantha Richardson), Marion, and even Amanda (Sonja Sohn) in a disco-tinged hallucination. To make things even more bizarre, Betty—who has never spoken before—finally gets a voice… and not just any voice, but a British one! The scene adds a much-needed touch of levity amidst the heavy emotional turmoil Will has been grappling with.
Rodríguez, who was both surprised and thrilled by the unexpected dance sequence, reveals that the scene was meticulously choreographed. “We had some amazing choreographers who helped us create something truly unique,” he says. “It was such a fun break from the intensity of the season, and it allowed the cast to come together in a way we hadn’t seen before.” For Rodríguez, this bizarre and fun sequence provided the perfect opportunity to give Will a moment of escape, even if it was just in his mind.
The Tensions with Rafael and the Season Finale
As the season progresses, one of the central mysteries revolves around Will’s relationship with Rafael Wexler. From the very beginning, it’s clear that Will owes Rafael something from their shared past, and as the season nears its conclusion, the true nature of their connection is set to come to light. Rodríguez teases that in the upcoming episode, “A Funeral Fit for a Quartermaine,” Will will confront Rafael’s complicated past, and viewers will finally understand the nature of the debt Will owes him.
Rodríguez explains, “There’s a lot of tension between these two characters, and we’ve been building it up all season. Will is trying to navigate this tricky relationship while dealing with his own guilt and emotional turmoil. By the time the season finale rolls around, everything between them will come to a head, and the truth will be revealed.”
Romance, Regrets, and the Season 3 Finale
One of the most complex dynamics in Will Trent is the ongoing relationship between Will and Angie. Their romantic bond has been tested time and time again, and though they both clearly have deep feelings for each other, they have struggled to find a way back to each other. The season’s emotional roller coaster continues as Will wrestles with his inability to reciprocate Marion’s love after the tragic death of Marco, a young boy he accidentally shot.
In the emotional aftermath, Will and Angie confront their past in a poignant scene that highlights the depth of their connection, even if it is not meant to be romantic. Rodríguez reflects on their dynamic: “These characters have been through so much together, and their bond is unbreakable. But whether it’s romantic love or just a deep, platonic connection, that’s something we’re still figuring out.”
As the finale looms, it’s clear that Will’s emotional journey is far from over. Rodríguez hints that the final episodes of the season will introduce new personal challenges for Will, as he grapples with the fallout of his past decisions. “The finale will leave fans on the edge of their seats,” Rodríguez teases. “There are some huge moments coming up, and we’re building toward something explosive. It’s a two-part finale, so you can expect some cliffhangers and plenty of twists and turns.”
What’s Next for Will Trent?
With Will Trent already renewed for a fourth season, fans are eager to see what comes next for Will and the team. Rodríguez is excited about the possibilities that Season 4 holds, especially after the intense and dramatic events of Season 3. “We’re all really excited to come back and explore even deeper emotional terrain for Will and the rest of the team,” he says. “The writers have done an amazing job in making sure each character’s story gets the attention it deserves. We’ve had a lot of fun this season, and we’re just getting started.”
As for the finale, Rodríguez promises that it will be an emotional and intense ride. “Season 3’s finale is going to leave people with a lot to think about. It’s a lot of heavy stuff, but there will be some moments of joy too. It’s a great setup for what’s to come in Season 4.”
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just tuning in, it’s clear that Will Trent has no shortage of drama, surprises, and emotional stakes. Be sure to tune in for what promises to be an unforgettable finale that sets the stage for even more thrilling adventures ahead.
