Will Trent Season 3 Episode 6: No Faith in Second Chances

The hour belongs to the Will-and-Marion thread. After being a blip or missing entirely from several episodes — the writers refusing to shoehorn her in where she didn't belong — the ADA is extremely present in Episode 6. The case carries the Piedmont Kings thread back through the hour (Rafael Wexford, Sunny, and the parolee orbit of Carver and Freddy Markovic), but its emotional spine is Faith telling her partner it is OK to be interested in someone other than Angie.

Marion, undeterred and direct, tells Will she has a knack for wearing a man down. It brings out a side of Will the show hasn't shown before — and it ends the way the episode has been building: back at his place, where things get particularly hot in the kitchen. The first kiss lands as one for the ages — two weeks, the episode notes, after Angie declared "Wilbur Trent, I release you."

The hour closes on the kitchen: Will and Marion's first kiss, the most concrete step yet in the relationship the season has been building since their premiere meeting. What it means for Will — two weeks after Angie's declaration, still unconvinced he is ready — is the question the episode hands to the rest of the season, alongside the Piedmont Kings case work the hour keeps in motion.
