But ... Ormewood! (In shirt sleeves!)

Okay, I love that Will was so pleased about the face-swapping app on his phone and wanted to show Angie how cute he and Betty were with their faces swapped. I loved the elevator scene when Will was trying to lift Angie to see what was on top of the elevator (ha ha ha, comedy then horror) and I loved when Angie said: Angie: Here’s a question. Have you ever considered dating someone who doesn’t work in the building? Will: We work 80 hours a week. Where am I supposed to meet people? Angie: Stop face swapping with your dog and download a dating app like everyone else. Also, when Will told Angie "you released me, you were all dramatic about it, Wilbur Trent I release you." They have so much history together and I think they still mean so much to each other, but it's interesting to explore what their relationship is going to be going forward. And I'm not worried about Faith. She had an excellent episode a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure she's not on a back burner somewhere.

Was the party for Caroline? I missed that bit of information earlier on. Couldn't figure out why they were setting up for a party and then Amanda was taking the present to the hospital at the end, and I was like "Oh, it was a party for Caroline." Heck of a birthday for that poor woman Lots of great lines, but it's a scary episode. Always hate when knives are involved. Enjoyed watching Will and Angie work well together. They have that shorthand between them. I loved Angie giving her gun to Marion and telling her to shoot the son of a bitch if he came back. Poor Marion, she's gonna take a while to heal. Much better second half to this two-parter. And I love that the secondary characters are being explored this season.

No, he'd left his bottle of wine on the ground and went back to get it.

Mariachi Shelly? John Shelly is the name of the supposed innocent man framed for a murder he didn't commit, but why Frankenstein? Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, and Frankenstein is the doctor's name who created the monster. The monster is not named ever. So, who created the monster? (Possibly reading too much into the episode titles.) 🤔

I thought about this, but she doesn't always have one on. Maybe a character quirk they've decided to give her. No Faith in Second Chances is the title of this episode, and I think we see that played out well with Angie's surprise that everyone is watching her closely because of her history. That she would be angry or hurt by that, I think is character-driven and naive on her part that she has cleared her history with the force. With Will, with Amanda, even with her partner, Ormewood, who probably doesn't want to feel that way, but does. The force is happy to have her back, but they don't want to get burned again. Angie has her second chance, will she get to keep it? Second chance for John, maybe, although he makes it hard to root for him. Second chance for Will to move on with his life with Marion. Second chance for Sunny to have a stable upbringing with Amanda, second chance for Amanda to be a mother. All of these second chances are on the line for next week.

I did not enjoy this episode as much as the previous ones this season. Not sure why. Too dark and dismal for me, I guess, not enough Betty. It's hard to have sympathy for John, as he comes off as creepy, and I see why Angie was resistant to trying to help him, given what happened the last time she tried to "help" someone. But now that she's onboard, I hope she's able to get the bad guy. Count me as one of those who do not see Will and Marion as long term. I could be wrong, but I think she's here just to mix up the equations all around. Can anyone tell my why Angie wears those little scarves around her neck? It's not a great fashion statement that I can see, so why?

This season has been great, so far. Enjoyed all of the character development, and I will miss Carmody. I fear for him going to London, with all the bombing that is coming, though. 😢 I also suspected rabies from the rats for the ferret and thus for the Land Girl who was bitten. I was happy the show did not go that way (yet).

I enjoyed this episode too. I love it when the show explores backstories. If they knew the storage locker number, why weren't they moving faster? I hate when shows slow down the movements of the "heroes" just to amp the tension. That just did not feel real to me. Glad to see Betty at the end. What a sweet gesture by Will to give her to Faith to hug. I'd definitely take a hug from Betty. I hope we see another episode with young Evie and Mandy on the force. The show does an amazing job of casting younger versions of the characters. So far, this is one of the best shows on right now.

I don't ship anyone in the show, I've been burned too many times by hoping for more interactions and the plot never going my way, LOL. But I enjoy this cast so much and the way they can all play off of each other that I hope we get to see much more of Faith and Ormewood's interactions, Will and everybody's interactions, and yes, Angie, and her interactions going forward with anyone. And I hope we get to see much more of the "B" players going forward as they add so much to the show. This is my favorite show at the moment, and I'm just enjoying it all.

I agree with you. Angie is still in so much pain over all of it. But she won't feel better til she starts to deal with what she chose to do. At the time of her decision to help Crystal, she thought it was clear-cut. Save the girl who had killed the man who had abused Angie. What could go wrong? Angie is also so defensive. I'm sure her mentality is that she doesn't deserve love, and Will proved that to her in spades. It takes a lot of vulnerability to be able to say, "I really screwed up." She's in survival mode all the time right now. I liked the conversation at the end where they talked about missing their best friend, and Angie said something about "I release you, Wilber Trent." It's going to be an interesting dynamic to watch. I don't like or dislike Marion yet, although she is awfully flirty for someone who is still married. (Interesting.) Let's hope that being Will's love interest isn't a path to getting killed. (RIP Cricket.) As for Ormewood, I like how his character is developing. He's friends with Faith, he's protective of her and of Angie, and he gets along with Will, but he's not happy with what Will did. Pretty complex for a side character. And he had such a crush on the CIA agent. Ha! Not as great an episode as the previous one, but Will Trent is still must-see tv for me.

Yes, she built it while recovering from a physical injury she suffered earlier in the season. It was a symbol to her of the enduring nature of the relationship she and Will were in (or so she thought) at the time. That's why the last episode last season had a montage of their possible life together with children, etc., while she worked on the table. The hopes and dreams of a lifetime relationship were shattered because of her mistake and Will's inability to overlook what she had done. Angie was impulsive and protective of Crystal and thought that taking the blame for the death of Crystal's mother's boyfriend was allowing Crystal to move on. She went into protective mode because no one had protected Angie when she was abused by the same man. It's not rational thinking by any means, but it's understandable in that Angie thinks she's a police detective to help people. I think Angie's arc this season may be one of her realizing how wrong she was. It's too easy that she is back on the force so soon. And I think that's why she's resisting helping the handyman, at least for now. The last time she tried to help out someone, it ended terribly. Should be an interesting season.

I noticed in this episode that the police side showed up and worked with Will to determine who the killer was by role-playing along with notecards and masks. No one said a thing to Will that was remotely mean or snarky. They all pitched in, even though Ormewood did not like who he was supposed to represent. I don't think they're hating on Will at the moment, at least not out loud.

In my rewatch of this episode, I wanted to point out how much I loved the dead swan conversation Angie had with Poppy and talking to Princess Kate (the female half of the swan couple, named William and Kate ha ha) while Air Supply's "All Out of Love" played. Genius! And Angie counseling Princess Kate saying she didn't have to mate for life. She could fly away and find a new pond. But Poppy told her the swans couldn't fly because their wings had been clipped. And of course Angie could identify with that. The writing was stellar this episode, and the music choices as well.
