As many will recall, the Will Trent season 2 finale features Will and Angie’s heartbreaking split, but flash forward six months later, a new woman enters Will’s life who is better suited for him. The ABC police procedural series revolves around Will Trent, a highly skilled GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) agent with a tragic past. He grew up alongside Angie in the foster care system after he was abandoned as a baby, and it’s safe to say that Will’s scars from that time in his life may never go away.
Will and Angie have had an on-and-off again relationship for years. However, their romance seemingly comes to a permanent end at the end of Will Trent season 2 when Will arrests Angie after learning she previously covered up a murder in season 1. Afterward, Will runs away to Tennessee, where he remains for six months until Amanda brings him home to work on a new case in the Will Trent season 3 premiere. During the hour, Will comes across a new face who will undoubtedly serve as Angie’s replacement.
Will Trent Season 3 Introduces Gina Rodriguez’s Marion Alba
Marion Is The ADA
Gina Rodriguez’s Marion Alba makes her Will Trent season 3 debut during the premiere when she runs into Will at a Mexican restaurant. Will’s case leads him there as the victim (a cop) had scheduled a meeting with an unknown person. That mysterious person turns out to be Marion, the Assistant District Attorney of Fulton County. The victim intended to act as a whistleblower to expose corruption in the Atlanta Police Department, but he was killed before he could discuss his options with Marion.
So, Will confronts Marion and asks her what she knows. The two characters don’t get off to a great start as they are both apprehensive about trusting one another, but it soon becomes clear that Will and Marion work well together and have a playful banter. She agrees to help him with the case, and she will continue to do so during the second part of the Will Trent season 3 premiere. However, since Rodriguez is a part of the main cast, viewers should expect to see Marion stick around for the rest of the season.
