Will Trent Season 2 Episode 8 Recap

the latest episode of “Will Trent,” Will and Angie were having a private moment at the start of the show, but Will’s nightmares cut them short. Angie’s calming presence led to a tender moment between them that showed how close they were becoming.

At the same time, Angie and Michael were told to look into Harry Baker’s death. Harry was found dead near the gun range at a lodge. The night before, he had been out with friends. The investigation showed that Harry had been hit in the back of the head from close range, which made the team think that there was foul play. As they dug deeper, they learned about Harry’s terrible past, which included seeing other Rangers die at Coast. This new information made Wallace, one of Harry’s friends, look like a possible suspect.

At the same time, Amanda’s news that Lily Watkins’ body had been found sparked a new interest among the team in solving her long-lost case. Lily, a girl who had been missing for 13 years, was found dead, which led to a new push to find her killer. Will remembered something from his own past that connected the clues he found in Lily’s room, such as a drawing of a tree.

A clue in the case came from Will’s memory of seeing a similar pattern on a flour jug in his foster home. Because he remembered putting a gun and bullets in the flour crock to keep the kids safe, he thought Mr. Royer, who could get into Lily’s room, might be involved. As the investigation went on, it became clear that Lily’s ex-boyfriend Ethan was obsessed with her, which made the case even more complicated.

As the team tried to figure out what happened to Harry and Lily, Will had to deal with his own problems. He had a deep understanding that he was not to blame for the abuse he had been through when a memory from his past came back to him. Will told Angie in a raw moment that he wanted to be nicer to himself and to other people. Sharing their weaknesses made their relationship stronger and hinted at a bright future together.
