Will Trent Season 1 Episode 6: Should I Go Get My Tin Foil Hat?

A couple hurriedly packing to flee their house is interrupted by a hooded intruder who shoots the man while the woman hides in a closet. Faith, meanwhile, hears noises at home and finds her ex Charles inside — he says the same silver sedan has been following him for days and asks for her help; she asks whether he is off his medication. Will backs her up: at Charles's house there is no sedan, but the window draws should have been open — someone has been using Charles's house to watch his neighbors, Sally and Kevin, who are found dead, Sally tied to a chair.

Will believes Sally was tortured for information and left a message before dying. Amanda, dining with her boss, learns he is retiring and wants her as his replacement — with a warning about how tough the job is.

Sally worked at Selantus, the firm that designs and manages all of the GBI's electronic systems; at Selantus the team senses hiding but can't pin it down. Amanda cautions Faith to keep Charles away, and Faith loses her temper — furious that her pregnancy at 15 keeps being invoked — before a poster at the Cabin Ridge Hotel, where Charles works, shows a tech conference held the prior weekend.

The hotel manager confirms Charles's keycard was used during the conference, and Will realizes he spoke to an impostor: surveillance shows Sally stole Charles's keycard and took something from a Selantus-booked room, and the killer is after whatever she took. Kevin, it emerges, gave Charles show tickets that weekend to keep him away. Digital-forensics analyst Rockie extracts Sally's phone backup, and a number tied to the star-sign clue Sally left hangs up on the team's call.

On her case, Angie runs into Katie — the woman she rescued — arrested buying heroin while serving as Angie's witness; Katie is angry and terrified for another trafficked girl, Jade. Angie and Ormewood, pretending to have heard a scream, barge into a house without a warrant and rescue Jade, who believed she was there for an audition; Angie tells her the tattoo means she is about to be sold, and reunites her with Katie. Will confronts his dog walker Nico about money missing from his wallet; Nico quits rather than discuss it.

Charles suffers a PTSD attack at Faith's house, and after she clears the home a message on the mirror tells her to back off. Will then confronts his own watcher — reporter Jess Noonan — who swears them to secrecy: Sally was a whistleblower, Selantus has a back door into the GBI, and the firm is spying on the agency and selling its information. Sally sent Jess a key to a safe holding the evidence on a hardware drive; Jess refuses to come inside the GBI, warns them to trust no one and avoid Selantus devices — and is shot dead as she leaves.

Rockie catches a suspicious maintenance update running on the servers, and Will asks Amanda to shut the system down. Amanda wants to alert her retiring boss; Will argues no one above them can be trusted; and when Amanda does tell him — recalling a former investigation of a Selantus board member who was always a step ahead — he tells her to let it go, and she pretends to comply. Charles identifies Sally's key as a P.O. box key, and Amanda shuts down every GBI computer.

At the P.O. box office the silver sedan appears; the man inside has already accessed the evidence, locks himself in a room, opens fire, takes a hostage, and throws the hard drive onto the road, where a car crushes it. Vince is arrested but won't talk; the Selantus CEO insists Vince was spying on Selantus, not the GBI; and the GBI severs its relationship with Selantus. Charles and Faith reach a measure of peace, and Nico — landed in a holding cell after a fight — reveals a man named Troy is extorting them; Will takes Nico in and renovates his garage to make room.

The immediate case closes with arrests and destruction. The man in the silver sedan — Vince — is taken into custody after a hostage standoff, but the evidence itself dies on the road: the hard drive is thrown under a car and crushed. The Selantus CEO insists Vince was spying on Selantus rather than the GBI, and the agency formally severs its relationship with Selantus — but the depth of the spy ring, what was sold, and who inside benefited are not established within the episode.

The unresolved thread runs above the team. Amanda's retiring boss tells her to let go of the Selantus board member she once investigated, and Amanda pretends to comply — leaving that inquiry, and her new position, hanging. The personal threads close softer: Charles and Faith reach a measure of peace, and Nico, extorted by Troy, moves into Will's renovated garage — with Troy himself unaccounted for at the episode's end.
