Will and Faith try their best to save Bernadette in Will Trent Season 3 Episode 16

While Will Trent Season 3 Episode 16 does concern itself with solving the case of Bernadette, a rider who has apparently run away with a horse and a body, it also shows how Will is still not over accidentally fatally shooting teenager Marco.

As Will confesses his feelings of guilt to Faith, she tells him that it is okay because people need to be good and not perfect. While Will is feeling this way, the duo comes across Bernadette, the rider and it becomes clear that she is not guilty. Will and Faith both had this feeling even before they had met her but they needed to track her down to prove the same.

Bernadette is found with Pancake, the aging horse, who turns out to have been poisoned as the ranch owner where Bernadette worked planned to smuggle drugs through living animals. Bernadette loved Pancake and she had shot Rooster only to protect the horse.

Moreover, she had also been raped by another member of that ranch. Despite Drummond and his followers trying their best to portray Bernadette as the villain, Faith having another source in the ranch helped them to learn the truth.

It then becomes Will’s responsibility to take the severely ill Pancake to a vet and on their journey together, Will bonds with the animal. When the horse seems to be slowing down, he kind of bargains with her to make it, and his words sound like the therapy he was undertaking was finally having some positive effects on him.

Angie turns back to alcohol after her mother’s death in Will Trent Season 3 Episode 16

Angie was shown to be in a rather dark place in Will Trent Season 3 Episode 16. She does not deal with the passing away of her abusive mother well, and this makes her turn back to alcohol, something which is clearly not good for her.

While Angie is grappling with contradicting feelings, she flushes her mother’s ashes in the toilet but regrets the same moments after doing it. She then tells Michael Ormewood that she would be heading to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and also advises him to talk to his family and children about his surgery.

Moreover, James Webster’s death, which was tried to be portrayed as a suicide by Tim the insurance person, Ormewood was triggered even more because the man died without having a chance to say goodbye to his family for whom he cared so much, something Ormewood worried about happening with him.

Since Webster loved his wife and children, Angie and Ormewood were quite certain that he could not have committed suicide, which made them pursue the case so that they could prove that Webster was killed.

Fueled by his fear of dying without saying goodbye to his family, Ormewood told his children about his brain tumor and surgery, something which bonded them even more as a family.

Will Trent can be streamed on Hulu.
