Sometimes, learning about your family gets you more than you bargained for.
On Will Trent Season 2 Episode 9, Will visited San Juan, Puerto Rico, to feel closer to his mother.
While he accomplished that, he wasn’t expecting only days later to find Uncle Antonio’s best friend, Javer, dead.
Will has always longed to feel close to people, but he was terrified to because, as he confided to Lucy, so many people die.
Since Season 2 began, he has lost Cricket, and we learned that he was close to his foster mother, Anna, who was murdered.
He almost lost Angie in the Will Trent Season 1 finale, so it made sense why he held off getting close to anyone else, including his uncle, or reuniting with Angie sooner.
His mom tried to convince him to let go, and the scene of Will jumping into the ocean and breathing was pivotal, and the beginning credits.
Everything almost went perfectly in Puerto Rico.
The locals loved Will and introduced him to Antonio’s friend, Javier.
This episode featured many Spanish subtitles during the Puerto Rico scenes, which was a nice added touch.
Javier seemed a little too interested in Will’s work in law enforcement, and it appeared someone was watching the three men.
Not long after Will returned, Antonio called in a panic that Javi was dead.
Then the chaos hit because the FBI was involved, and Antonio believed the FBI was racist.
Amanda was in a tough spot, trying to appease the FBI and Will, who wanted to solve the case for his uncle.
Antonio believed the FBI was still as dirty as the one who surveilled their families and homes until he and Javi found the evidence to stop it.
Kristen Murphy seemed helpful, but she was a charming snake, and Will, Angie, and Antonio found the evidence to bring her down.
They made a lovely duo as they realized the other dead body was Milton Clark, a con artist and a blackmailer.
Angie and Amanda read the summary in the encrypted file, realizing that Kristen Murphy had worked with another criminal and covered it up, and Javi had learned about it.
She was a dirty FBI agent.
That was difficult to prove, and they needed Antonio to go undercover and pretend to taunt her with what they knew so she would try to shoot him, and they could rush in and arrest her.
Will hated doing such a risky plan, but it was the only way to catch her.
Surprisingly, Angie has shown the most growth in Will Trent Season 2.
When she hurt her back, I was so proud that she only took Tylenol and winced through the pain.
She and Will didn’t seem as codependent this time.
Instead, they were helpful and supportive of each other, and even Antonio recognized how strong their relationship had become.
While the series would never work without Will, Angie also realized that Will needed family and wondered if he would move to Puerto Rico.
But Will had changed too and moved on. He finally knew he had a family in Atlanta.
While cops have to investigate every crime, who knew Michael would be the voice of the general public?
There was something odd about Jason’s murder, though. He was found in the woods with a toy in his mouth.
