‘Will Trent’ Episode 6 Preview: A Whistleblower’s Death Puts Will and Faith in Danger
Fans of ABC‘s Will Trent can rest easy — the new drama show based on the book series by Karin Slaughter is returning with new episodes soon. Will Trent took a two-week break following episode 5 for the State of the Union address, but it’s back next week. Read on for everything you need to know about Will Trent Season 1 Episode 6, “Should I Go Get My Tin Foil Hat?”
When does ‘Will Trent’ return with episode 6?
Will Trent Season 1 Episode 6, “Should I Go Get My Tin Foil Hat?”, airs Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. Britta Lundin wrote the upcoming hour, and Lea Thompson directed it.
The synopsis for “Should I Go Get My Tin Foil Hat?” reads, “A double murder leads the GBI on a cyber-chase to investigate a software firm’s activity behind closed doors. Meanwhile, Angie does her best to ensure a key witness testifies in her case.”
The Will Trent Season 1 Episode 6 promo reveals that the aforementioned double homicide involves a whistleblower. One of the victims, Sally Wallace, was a software engineer for a tech company called Selantus. Will Trent and Faith Mitchell learn that Sally was a whistleblower who likely threatened to expose Selantus’ secrets before she and her husband were killed.
After Will and Faith start uncovering the truth, an unknown woman warns them that “they” — likely referring to Selantus — are spying on people. Later, someone breaks into Faith’s home and leaves her a note that reads, “Next time, someone gets hurt.” She calls Will, who is out for a run. He tells her that a car is following him.
This murder case seemingly leads Will and Faith down a dangerous, cryptic path. And if they’re not careful, they could get hurt.
A recap of episode 5
Although the Will Trent Season 1 Episode 6 promo doesn’t show much of Angie Polaski, the synopsis tells us everything we know about her story in the upcoming hour.
In Will Trent Season 1 Episode 5, Angie found a victim of a sex trafficking ring called Zero Mile. The detective had spent years trying to bust Zero Mile, but she could never gather enough concrete evidence against them. Now, Angie has a witness that might be able to take down the ring. However, the traumatized woman might not be up for the draining task.
Elsewhere in episode 5, Will met Ava Green, a photographer who got tangled up with a robbery crew. Ava was evidently enamored with the GBI agent, but Will wasn’t ready to enter a new relationship after his latest fight with Angie. There’s a chance that Ava returns in a future episode, even though she likely won’t appear in Will Trent Episode 6.
