The latest episode of\u00a0Will Trent brought back Amanda Wagner, with a twist.
\nHere\u2019s how the recently-departed GBI deputy director made a comeback.<\/p>\n
Will Trent<\/a> took its title character (Ram\u00f3n Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>) on a really wild ride through his own psyche, the likes of which we haven\u2019t seen since the disco dance bonanza<\/a>, on Tuesday\u2019s (April 28) new episode. The journey allowed him to both solve a murder case and grapple with his grief over the death of Amanda Wagner. That meant Amanda returned to his side to talk him through their long, storied history as well as his sense of loss \u2026 only, with a twist.\u00a0Warning: Spoilers for Will Trent Season 4 Episode 17, \u201cWhere\u2019d You Come From, Little Angel?\u201d ahead!<\/p>\n Instead of having Sonja Sohn<\/a> come back to the role, it was actually Sydney Park<\/a> who reprised her part as the younger version of Amanda in an extended and very creepy dream sequence.<\/p>\n Park, who\u2019d previously guest-starred in flashback scenes from Seasons 1 and 2, teased her return on social media ahead of the airing and praised Sohn for the role she\u2019s inhabited so fashionably before. \u201cIt\u2019s been such an honor to step into the shoes of Young Amanda on #WillTrent. @sonjasohn, you are one special lady\u2026 so full of good humor, genuine love of your craft. Where\u2019d you come from little angel? The epitome of beauty & brains,\u201d she wrote, alongside an image of herself in costume at the then-captain\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n So, how did Amanda\u2019s return play out?<\/p>\n Well, it started with Will joining Faith (Iantha Richardson<\/a>) on site for a double murder case that didn\u2019t quite make sense to Will. While the female victim in the case, Christa, was strangled one way, the male subject, Ethan, had different injuries. Will was still too bent out of shape about Amanda\u2019s death, though, to make heads or tails of the scene and only came back later to look at the bodies in the morgue.<\/p>\n Instead of getting the peace and quiet he needed to concentrate, though, Will was soon whacked on the head by an unknown assailant. He was then transported into a dream wherein he first encountered a man in a chem suit who warned him there were neurotoxins at the crime scene before guiding him downstairs. There, he ran into baby Faith at her mom\u2019s desk and, eventually, Amanda showed up.\u00a0From there, he remembered his first time at the station as a teen boy who\u2019d been pinched for shoplifting after his hustle business with Rafael Wexler went awry.<\/p>\n This encounter gave him the chance to confront this version of Amanda about her decision to not adopt and raise him, despite being the one who rescued him as a baby from a garbage can at his mother\u2019s murder scene. Everything could have been different if she had, he insisted. To that, Amanda said, she would spend the rest of her life making up for it by ensuring he have a strong future right alongside her at the GBI.<\/p>\n Along the way, Will subconsciously worked to decipher the clues of the case \u2014 with a very uncomfortable appearance by Dr. Seth (Scott Foley<\/a>) bragging about marrying the love of his life and having a baby with her and being endlessly happy about it, too. Soon, he realized Ethan was an aficionado on worms and would then know that certain worms emit a heart-slowing chemical.<\/p>\n In the real world, all the while, Will was actually trapped inside of a morgue freezer, losing oxygen and slowly suffocating and freezing to death while his mind went wild.<\/p>\n Angie (Erika Christensen<\/a>), Faith, Michael Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin<\/a>), and Franklin (Kevin Daniels<\/a>) worked to unearth details about the two victims. They tracked down Ethan\u2019s former boss and learned from his assistant that they\u2019d had a conversation about bringing him back to work because of a brilliant new formula he\u2019d invented; then, they talked to a friend of Christa\u2019s and searched her bank records to ultimately determine Christa was secretly working for Ethan\u2019s boss to steal his secret formula. So, after discovering her betrayal, he killed her and dosed himself to appear dead, sneaking out of the morgue after attacking Will and stashing his body.<\/p>\n This led to a massively nightmarish fight scene between Will, young Amanda, Ethan, and the chem suit stranger that was both exciting and cathartic. After all the punches were thrown, Will got to have the goodbye exchange he didn\u2019t get to have in real life with Amanda.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to trust me. Let me go,\u201d she told him.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to leave you,\u201d he replied. \u201cDon\u2019t leave me, please.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will always be with you, you hear me? Always,\u201d she concluded as Angie and the rest of the team retrieved Will from his icy hiding spot.<\/p>\n In the hospital, Will also got to have a beat of closure with Seth after imagining him in such a haughty and braggadocious way in that dream. After giving Will the all-clear on his physical condition and recognizing the emotional strife Will was still dealing with, Seth related to him on a very personal level, revealing the hopelessness he\u2019d felt after the illness and death of his wife.<\/p>\n Later, after Will sifted through some baby pictures and other mementos Amanda had kept from his infancy, he had another vision of her: picking him up from a crib and cooing, \u201cWhere\u2019d you come from, little angel?\u201d<\/p>\n In other news, someone was cutting a lot of onions Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Will Trent, Tuesdays, 8\/7c, ABC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What To Know The latest episode of\u00a0Will Trent brought back Amanda Wagner, with a twist.
