What Happens in Will Trent Season 4 Episode 5 “Nice to Meet You, Malcolm”
The fifth episode features two distinct investigations for the team. The official synopsis reveals that Angie Polaski and Michael Ormewood will be on the trail of unusual criminals: a string of multimillion-dollar heists carried out by thieves wearing animal masks.
Meanwhile, Will Trent and his partner Faith Mitchell will take on a case in a very different world. They are tasked with investigating the murder of a high-end matchmaking mogul, diving into Atlanta’s elite dating scene to find a killer.
A key personal storyline will also develop for Faith Mitchell. During the episode, she encounters a mysterious man described as “more than he seems”. This meeting could signal the start of a new subplot for her character.

Story Details and What to Expect Next
Episode 4, titled “The Man From Nowhere,” sets the stage for this new installment. In that episode, Will and Faith investigate a dancer’s murder at the Atlanta World Salsa Championships, while Angie, Ormewood, and Franklin supervise college interns working on a 15-year-old cold case.
The shift to animal-masked thieves and a matchmaker’s murder in Episode 5 shows the wide range of cases the show tackles. The animal masks add a visually strange and unsettling element to the heists, suggesting the criminals are trying to hide their identities in a very specific, theatrical way.
Faith’s encounter with the mysterious Malcolm, hinted at in the episode’s title, is a major point of interest. This new character’s introduction could impact Faith’s personal life and professional work.
Following Episode 5, the schedule shows a planned break. The next episode, Episode 6 “Once More Time Would Be Nice,” is not scheduled to air until Tuesday, February 24, 2026. This three-week gap is likely due to television programming changes for other events.
