The April 21 episode of Will Trent on ABC brought major emotional weight as the team dealt with the sudden death of their boss. Episode 16, titled “Our Last Dance,” showed the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) hunting for a killer while struggling with their own grief. The episode featured a mix of main actors and special guest stars who made the story hit hard. Here is a complete breakdown of who played which role in this intense hour of television.
Ramón Rodríguez Leads as Will Trent After a Shocking Loss
Ramón Rodríguez returned as the lead character, GBI Special Agent Will Trent. The episode picked up right after the death of Amanda Wagner, played by Sonja Sohn, who was killed in the previous episode. Rodríguez showed Will in a state of shock and deep sadness. He refused to leave Amanda’s side at the crime scene and even closed her body bag himself. Later, he got into an argument with acting Deputy Director Bill Appleyard, played by Jason Davis, who tried to take over Amanda’s office too quickly.
The episode also pushed Will to his limit while hunting Adelaide Clemens, the person responsible for Amanda’s death. Rodríguez also directed this episode, making it his first time directing the show. In the final act, Will came face to face with Adelaide and made the choice to shoot her after seeing she had a hidden gun. He also saved his Uncle Antonio, played by John Ortiz, who had been kept prisoner.
Erika Christensen and Iantha Richardson Support the Team
Erika Christensen played APD Homicide Detective Angela Polaski. As one of Will’s closest friends, Angie stayed by his side during the hard moments. She was the one who told Will they needed to step back and let the crime scene team do their work. Christensen’s performance showed Angie as a steady and caring presence.
Iantha Richardson returned as GBI Special Agent Faith Mitchell. The loss of Amanda Wagner was very personal for Faith because Amanda was her mother’s best friend and helped raise her. Richardson showed Faith’s pain as she said goodbye to the woman she called “Aunt Mandy.” She also worked hard with the team to track down the killer. LisaGay Hamilton joined as a guest star playing Evelyn Mitchell, Faith’s mother. Evelyn came to the morgue to say her final goodbye to her best friend.
Jake McLaughlin and Kevin Daniels Join the Hunt
Jake McLaughlin played APD Homicide Detective Michael Ormewood. He teamed up with Will to question a suspect named Commander, who was part of Adelaide’s group. McLaughlin showed Ormewood as determined to find justice for Amanda.
Kevin Daniels returned as APD Homicide Detective Franklin Wilks. Now a regular part of the team in season 4, Franklin helped Angie and Ormewood with the case. Daniels also brought a small moment of comfort when he hugged Faith at the crime scene.
Guest Stars Who Made Episode 16 Unforgettable
Several guest actors appeared in “Our Last Dance” and made the episode stronger.
Mallory Jansen played Adelaide Clemens, the main villain and daughter of James Ulster. Jansen showed Adelaide as cold and smart. She killed her own followers to cover her tracks. She also held Uncle Antonio prisoner and tried to make a deal with Will. In the end, Will shot her after seeing she was still armed.
John Ortiz returned as Antonio, Will’s uncle. He was found alive at an abandoned train station after Will figured out the location from a video Adelaide showed him. Ortiz played Antonio as weak but thankful to be saved. He told Will not to feel guilty about what happened.
Todd Allen Durkin played Captain Heller. He was at the crime scene and later said a prayer over Amanda’s body. He also spoke at her memorial service.
Wynn Everett played Janice-Teresa, James Ulster’s girlfriend. She gave the team useful information about where Adelaide might go to get money.
