Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for the Will Trent Season 1 finale.
Will Trent finished up its first season in a wild way this week. Was Will able to rescue Angie and finally bring the serial killer case to a close? Find out here!
The Season 1 finale picked up with Will discovering Angie had been abducted by the same serial killer who had plagued the city years ago. The team was on a search for her, with Will deeply shaken and worrying over losing her friend.
Amanda and Evelyn aided in the case, clashing with Butch, the detective who had ignored their talk about the killer back in the 1980s. Will was suspicious of Butch, and a tip written on a letter had the team confronting him, with Omerwood shooting him in the arm when Butch fired at them.
Who was the killer in Will Trent?
Will realized the “tip” had been written recently. Angie managed to escape the room she was held captive in to call Will, only to be attacked by the true killer, who was lawyer James Ulster.
Will met Ulster in private as it turned out he’d been in love with Will’s birth mother, Lucy. The woman had died giving birth to Will, and Ulster blamed him for that and was thus striking out at Angie. He showed Will where Angie was held captive, having been brutally beaten.
Will managed to beat down Ulster himself and was tempted to kill him but held back. As the cops arrived, Will arrested Ulster only to discover the man had poisoned himself.
What happened to Angie in the Will Trent Season 1 finale?
Ulster survived and was shown under arrest at the hospital. Angie was also there with the doctors indicating the beating may have left her paralyzed. Meanwhile, Evelyn told Will that Amanda was the one who found him abandoned as an infant and had wanted to adopt him but couldn’t. Instead, she just gave him the name and wrongly assumed Will would be going to a good family rather than the foster system.
Will was moved, thanking Amanda, who gave Will a gift of his mother’s necklace. Thus, Will Trent ends its first season with Angie’s fate up in the air and Will discovering more of his past, leaving fans curious to what Season 2 can bring.
