Will Trent Season 3 EP on Wilbert & Angie’s Future: ‘She Wants to Try’
As the emotional rollercoaster of Will Trent Season 3 continues, one relationship is capturing the attention of viewers more than ever: the rocky but undeniably compelling dynamic between Will Trent (played by Ramón Rodríguez) and Angie Polaski (Erika Christensen). While the characters’ journey together has been filled with turbulence and unresolved tension, the latest season introduces a glimmer of hope. In a revealing interview, Will Trent Executive Producer opens up about the future of Wilbert (the shipping name for Will and Angie) and what’s next for this fan-favorite couple.
In Season 3, Episode 4, we saw Angie come face to face with the harsh truth about her and Will’s relationship. After a heated confrontation, the two seem to be at a crossroads. But according to the EP, there’s still a chance for them to figure things out. While the emotional distance between them has created a divide, there’s a crucial element of hope that viewers can hold onto—especially from Angie’s perspective.
The Emotional Struggles of Will & Angie
From the beginning, the relationship between Will and Angie has been anything but simple. Both characters come with emotional baggage, making it difficult for them to fully open up to each other. Angie, with her tough exterior and fierce independence, has often been the one to confront their issues head-on. Will, on the other hand, has struggled with emotional intimacy and vulnerability, which has kept him from fully committing to the relationship.
Throughout the series, Will has been portrayed as a deeply guarded man, haunted by his past and hesitant to let others in. Angie, despite her own trauma, has always been more open about her feelings, but that vulnerability has sometimes been her undoing. Their connection has been one of love and frustration—love that often goes unspoken, and frustration at the inability to meet each other where they truly need to be.
In the most recent episodes, Angie’s frustrations boil over. She finally lays it all out for Will, telling him exactly how she feels about their relationship—specifically how his emotional unavailability has taken its toll on her. This confrontation is a significant moment for both characters, as it forces them to reckon with their emotional realities and face what they’ve been avoiding for so long.
Despite the heartache and confusion that comes from this moment, there’s still a sense of yearning between the two. They’ve been through so much together, and while they may be at a crossroads, the connection they share is undeniable.
“She Wants to Try”: A Hopeful Outlook on Their Future
In an exclusive interview, Will Trent Executive Producer shared insight into where the relationship between Will and Angie is heading after the intense Season 3, Episode 4 confrontation. While there’s a lot of emotional work to be done, the EP reveals that Angie isn’t ready to give up on their relationship just yet.
“She wants to try,” says the EP. “There’s still a lot of love between Will and Angie, and while there are major obstacles in their way, Angie isn’t someone who gives up easily. She has been hurt, yes, but at her core, she believes that there’s potential for them to make it work.”
This statement marks an important shift for Angie’s character. While she’s been the one to confront Will and demand change, it’s clear that she’s still invested in their relationship and isn’t ready to walk away completely. For Angie, the need for emotional growth is essential, but so is the possibility of reconnection with the man she cares for deeply.
The EP emphasizes that this “trying” phase will not be easy. Will and Angie both need to confront their respective issues before they can move forward together. For Angie, that means accepting the fact that Will may never be as emotionally available as she would like, and for Will, it means being open to change and vulnerability—something that doesn’t come naturally to him.
“I think both of them have a lot of work to do, and that’s what we’ll see as the season progresses,” says the EP. “It’s going to take time, and it’s going to be messy. But the fact that Angie is willing to try is a big step forward.”
What Will It Take for Will & Angie to Move Forward?
The road ahead for Will and Angie is not an easy one. While Angie’s decision to try again signals hope, it’s clear that they cannot continue the way they have been. The EP suggests that both characters will have to take significant emotional steps in order to repair the rift in their relationship.
For Will, this means confronting his own emotional walls. Throughout the series, Will has been guarded and reluctant to fully open up, often pushing Angie away when things get too close for comfort. His reluctance to be vulnerable has been a source of tension between them, and it’s something that needs to change if they are to move forward together.
Will’s journey of self-discovery and emotional growth is an essential part of his character arc. As the season unfolds, viewers will likely see Will struggle with his inability to connect on a deeper level, forcing him to face his fears and insecurities. Whether or not he can fully let go of his emotional baggage and allow Angie to come closer remains to be seen, but the potential for growth is there.
For Angie, moving forward means learning to navigate her own expectations. After years of holding onto the hope that Will would open up to her, she must now come to terms with the fact that he may never be the emotionally available partner she dreams of. Her willingness to try again isn’t about changing Will, but about finding a way to meet him where he is—acknowledging that their relationship may never be perfect, but it could still be meaningful.
The EP hints that the upcoming episodes will explore this delicate balance. “The key to their relationship moving forward is compromise,” the EP says. “Angie can’t expect Will to be someone he’s not, and Will can’t expect Angie to keep putting in all the emotional work. It’s about finding common ground and doing the hard work to make their connection last.”
Angie’s Growth: From Frustration to Forgiveness
One of the most compelling aspects of Will Trent Season 3 is Angie’s evolution as a character. Over the course of the series, she’s been tough, independent, and sometimes emotionally distant herself, but she’s also had moments of profound vulnerability. Her journey in this season represents a shift toward self-awareness, as she begins to recognize that her frustrations with Will have less to do with him and more to do with her own emotional needs.
As the EP reveals, Angie’s willingness to try again is rooted in her own growth. “She’s learning that she needs to find a way to accept Will for who he is, while also giving herself permission to not settle for less than she deserves,” the EP explains. “That’s a big shift for her. It’s about finding balance—accepting that not everything is going to be perfect but still allowing herself to be open to the possibility of something real.”
While this growth will be tested throughout the rest of the season, Angie’s character arc promises to be one of emotional depth and transformation. As she learns to navigate her relationship with Will, she’ll also be forced to confront her own vulnerabilities and desires, ultimately helping her find the strength to move forward—whether that means with Will or without him.
What’s Next for Wilbert?
As Will Trent Season 3 continues, fans will undoubtedly be glued to their screens to see how Will and Angie’s relationship unfolds. Will they be able to bridge the emotional gap between them, or will their differences prove too much to overcome? With the EP’s comments about Angie’s determination to try, there’s hope for a future for Wilbert, but that future is far from certain.
Whether their relationship leads to a happy ending or a difficult separation, one thing is clear: Will Trent is diving deep into the complexities of love, vulnerability, and personal growth. As Will and Angie both learn to navigate their emotions, their journey will continue to captivate viewers and keep them coming back for more.
