Faith Is Inside Going Undercover
Malcolm takes Faith to a fancy dinner. He wines and dines her at the best of the best. Faith still shows no signs or reaction to learning Malcolm’s true identity.
Back at the GBI Conference Room, Faith pleads her case to Amanda. She believes she is the best choice to go undercover and find incriminating evidence to arrest Malcolm and his crew. She asks Will for his input. Despite his own personal feelings, he realizes Faith is right. Amanda’s exasperated and doesn’t want to put Faith in danger. Will says Faith is already inside, and tells Amanda they should let her close the case. He gives Faith a necklace with a hidden camera to capture photos of evidence. Amanda is still apprehensive and advises Faith not to let her feelings get in the way.
Faith and Malcolm live the life fantastic. They dance and party like two people falling in love. They sit after dancing. Faith notices two guys arguing across the room, and Malcolm says that one of them works for him. He says he’ll go talk to him.
Ormewood and Franklin are outside on a stakeout keeping an eye on Faith and Malcolm. They hear her giving them a heads up on the two guys arguing across the room. Franklin is finicky about cleanliness, and Ormewood is just the opposite. Franklin has his work cut out for him. They take photos of the three guys to id them.
Malcolm returns to his table and Faith. One of the guys is Winston, Malcolm’s friend. He tells her that Winston was just being Winston. Anger and arguing is something he does a lot. Malcolm changes the conversation to something more pleasing and asks if they should order another bottle. Faith smiles. Out in the stakeout van, the last pic Ormewood and Franklin see is Malcolm smiling at Faith. She turned off the camera, surprising both Ormewood and Franklin. They draw their own conclusions as to what happens next. Franklin says it’s time for him to take a nap. Ormewood worries over what Faith does next, and drives the van over to Malcolm’s place.
Faith and Malcolm get to Malcolm’s place and they exchange some flirtatious conversation, a sweet kiss, as Malcolm tells Faith he loves Faith. She says she loves him, too.
Seth the Surprise Wedding Planner
Next, a new mini-story is introduced with Seth complaining to his sister Emily on the phone. They are arguing about the Nantucket house and a ferry ride not being comfortable for Angie. They continue arguing as Angie enters the bedroom. Seth and Emily are secretly working together to plan Angie and Seth’s wedding. Their Mom usually can be depended on to help, but in this case has gone rogue. She’s nowhere to be found. Emily asks Seth something that upsets him, and he abruptly responds angrily. He cuts the call short. He doesn’t see Angie, until she pretends to re-enter the bedroom after he hangs up coming out of the bathroom. Angie asks who he was talking to, and he confirms it was his sisters.
Angie tells Seth about the big case she’s working on. It ties into the Biosentia Pharmaceuticals, bank heist-murder-conspiracy thing. She’s trying to find out what confidential documents were stolen. Seth offers some helpful information about clinical trials and how all big pharma companies conduct their own research and publish what supports their own interests. Angie asks what happens to the data that doesn’t support them. Seth says if a drug they’re manufacturing is a big moneymaker, and no one else has proof that drug is dangerous, fill in the blanks. Angie says it gets dark, and Seth agrees. She stops Seth before he leaves for work, and gives him a passionate kiss and tells him she loves him. He leaves confused about her amorous intentions. He promises to ask around for more information on Biosentia.
Big Pharma Cover Up
Ormewood updates Amanda on the identities of Malcolm’s crew, at the GBI. Winston Terry is the possible murderer and Clinton Starling who works for a private security firm contracted by Biosentia Pharmaceuticals. Amanda sees the link. The company hired Malcolm’s crew to break into the bank, and now they are arguing over payment. At that moment, Angie arrives with some important information Seth just gave her. More puzzle pieces added to help solve the case. She writes “Evalia” on their murder board. It’s one of Biosentia’s biggest moneymakers, a drug that is administered before and after surgery to prevent excessive bleeding. Ormewood thinks he may have taken it. Angie says he was lucky, because family members of about a dozen patients took it and passed away.
The families were unable to get a class lawsuit against Biosentia. Biosentia says patients dying after taking the drug was an unfortunate coincidence. Amanda says she and Will had enough evidence to go after the company and uncover whatever they’re hiding.
I Need to Marry Seth Right Now
In the Atlanta Police Department squad room, a cute additional mini-story develops with Angie impatiently telling Franklin she needs to marry Seth right now. Franklin can’t talk now because he needs to track Winston Terry. Angie needs Franklin’s help, and Franklin gives her some suggestions. Angie hands him her list of some possible wedding locations where a wedding can be held at short notice. He tells Angie to work on her vows and adamantly forbids her from using AI, as he goes to track a murderer.
How to Squeeze Big Pharma
Amanda and Will ask Mr. Gordon, Biosentia’s representative, to come to GBI. Amanda says they needed his help with the bank heist investigation. Mr. Gordon’s confused, and Will informs him of the details. He lets him know about the safe deposit box that was broken into, and the contents that it contained. Mr. Gordon had no idea about it. He didn’t seem convincing. He makes a slip up which Will catches. Will realizes Neville Gordon is being blackmailed.
Franklin follows Winston, but thinks Winston made him. Franklin plays it off by approaching Winston and telling him he was checking him out. Winston is annoyed and tells Franklin to get lost. Winston walks off. He saw that Winston left a $100 tip in the tip jar. He confiscates the jar for evidence.
Faith searches Malcolm’s desk and finds a tactical map. Ormewood says they need to id the location on the map. Winston caught Faith in Malcolm’s study. She deflects and tells Malcolm she came into his study to check out the picture on the wall. Winston goes to answer the door and lets Mauricio and Thad in. He told them to meet them here. The crew go and discuss things away from Faith. Winston is still suspicious of Faith. Ormewood and Franklin listen in. Faith comes out to confront Winston, asking if he has a problem with her. He tells Faith he can’t find much about her online. He pulls his gun, and Malcolm tries to calm everything down. Franklin and Ormewood intervene, and get everyone to drop any weapons and face down on the floor. Faith asks what’s happening, and Ormewood tries to cuff her and whispers to her to make it look good. He wrestles her to the floor and cuffs Faith. Malcolm yells to not hurt her. Malcolm’s crew and Faith are arrested.
Faith Gets Arrested
Malcolm tries to convince Faith he doesn’t know what’s happening. They are all jailed in separate jail cells. Faith subtly questions Malcolm, and asks who Quinton is. He tells her that Quinton was his son. The drawing she saw on his study’s wall was drawn by him. He died. He tells her that Quinton had a heart defect. An officer comes in and takes Faith for questioning. She’s led to Amanda’s office. Faith tells her they don’t have enough evidence to make the arrest work. She wants to continue her undercover work to get more. Amanda refuses. She says Malcolm has to turn over the documents he stole from the safety deposit box, and they’ll be there when he does. Faith tries to use her “Auntie Manda” connection to change her mind. Amanda tells Faith to end her relationship with Malcolm when they are released. She threatens to put Faith in a safe house if she doesn’t stand down. Amanda tries to shine some truth on Faith/Fake Amanda. She tells her she doesn’t want to get rid of her fancy man and the fancy things. Amanda tells her those things aren’t real. She orders Faith to end her relationship. Faith gives her the camera necklace.
Malcolm’s attorney arrives and gets them all released. Malcolm asks Faith to go somewhere and talk. She kisses him and tells him good-bye. Faith walks away.
Bathroom Wedding Vows Prep
Angie is in the ladies bathroom stall writing her wedding vows. Will knocks on the door and tells her he had to check on her. Caroline said she’d been in the bathroom for half an hour. He apologizes for interrupting, and is about to walk away. Angie tells him about her surprise wedding plans for Seth, and she’s having trouble writing her vows. Will comes in and asks if she’s literally going to barf. She talks to her Mom in the toilet. It’s her way of talking to her Mom because she dumped her ashes down the toilet when she died. It’s a long story. Will comes into the stall and tries to help Angie with her vows. They talk about old times, and he tells Angie she’s not that person anymore. Angie lets him feel the baby kick. He tells Angie she’s going somewhere new. He says it will be special for both Seth and her. Seth gets to marry her. That makes Angie feel better. They leave for a meeting.
Bank Robbery Case Updates, Embolism Discovered and Kidnapping
Will, Amanda, Franklin, Angie and Ornewood meet in the GBI Conference Room. Faith isn’t there. Will updates them on the case. Wyatt Fernsby, the man whose safety deposit box was robbed, made a deal with the district attorney. He’s talking now. Angie was right about the drug Biosentia was selling. Evalia was discovered to cause a rare but fatal complication in the company’s research. Gordon ordered Fernsby to destroy the report findings. Malcolm Boykin was one of the families whose family member died after the drug was administered. Amanda tells them they need to let the meet between Malcolm and Gordon happen. She suddenly collapses into a chair. They get Caroline to call her doctor. Amanda is admitted to the hospital.
Faith goes to see Amanda. Amanda is glad to see her. She had an embolism, and it was removed. Amanda tells her they found the meet location thanks to the map she found. They are watching Neville Gordon. Faith tells Amanda this is the first time she’s had real feelings for someone, but Amanda tells her that Malcolm will go to prison. Faith doesn’t know where that leaves her. Amanda comforts her. Winston later kidnaps Faith outside the hospital. He knows who she really is.
Combined Cases Closure, Surprise Wedding and Cyclists
Will assembles his team, and Ornewood and Franklin head to the meet point. Winston gets Faith to the meet point, and tells Malcolm he knows what he has to do. Malcolm asks if it’s true she is GBI. She confesses and says everything is true. She confirms that the company’s drug caused fatal complications. She asks him to let the GBI handle this. She knows it’s personal for him. She will do everything to make the company face justice. He asks her if their relationship was a lie, and she says it wasn’t. Winston returns and tries to kill Faith himself. He and Malcolm fight, and Malcolm shoots Winston. He won’t untie Faith, and leaves. Faith breaks free.
Ormewood, Franklin and the rest of their police squad arrive at the meet point. Gordon transfers the money to Malcolm’s account. Malcolm tells him there’s a problem. He gives him a folder of all the people that died from the Evalia drug. He tells him his son mattered and is about to shoot Gordon. Faith tries to get Malcolm to drop his gun. Gordon runs off. Faith faces the truth about them and their relationship. Franklin captures Gordon. Back at the meet point, Ormewood has a rifle pointed at Malcolm and tells Faith to give him the word to shoot. She yells for him to stand down. Does he? What does Faith say to Malcolm?
Later that night, Angie takes Seth to a lovely spot for dinner. She surprises him with a beautiful wedding. Franklin marries them with Marvin, a cyclist, as their witness. Franklin tells them this is the happiest he’s seen Angie. Angie’s wedding vows are beautiful and hopeful. Seth is tearful and his vows were wonderful. Marvin is tearful and overjoyed, as he rides off with his fellow cyclists. What did the cyclists do? Why is this location so special?
Will and Faith return to work and Will brings her breakfast. They discuss Angie and Seth’s wedding. Neither were invited. Faith says she’ll invite Will when she gets married. He asks how she’s doing. Is Will okay with Angie getting married? What does he tell Faith that could help her move on?
Sad to see the end of something that seemed so special for Faith, and how unreal her relationship was. The writing of this Will Trent episode was so Good! The acting was powerful. Malcolm was a character with dimensions. The wedding vows were perfect and loved how Seth brought his and Angie’s relationship full circle. The wedding location and cyclists were also a symbolic flashback to their first meeting. Cleverly and beautifully done. The mixture of the different stories worked together seamlessly, and ended with a beautiful surprise wedding and a real authentic touching moment between Faith and Will. So glad Amanda was saved. They have to stop scaring us viewers like that. The emotional ups and downs and surprises were plenty in this episode. There was no Betty in this episode. I loved this episode and gave it 5 Stars out of 5.
