Will Trent is in an interrogation room at the GBI, covered in blood, being questioned by Captain Heller about a shooting incident. Will is deeply shaken and replays events leading up to the incident.
Will and Faith chase a suspect, Paco, leading to a confrontation where Will fires his weapon. A stray bullet hits a young boy, Marco, through a nearby wall. Will tries to save Marco, but he later dies.
The investigation begins with Amanda taking control of managing press and tasks. Odessa Shaw is from the DA’s office that takes point for officer-involved shootings. She’s known for her sharpness, and leads the investigation into Will's actions. She begins with Faith’s statement.
Will struggles to recount events accurately under the guidance of Marion, who acts as his advisor. Angie and Ormewood investigate the scene, interacting with witnesses like Ruth and Lily, who eventually provide a recording from their special doorbell camera. The recording helps clear Will of wrongdoing. Angie expresses sorrow for Ruth and Lily after learning of Ruth’s son, Oscar, dying from an overdose. His body was misplaced, and delayed the funeral. All his belongings were lost. Angie asked an officer to check the police property section for Oscar’s belongings. She returned them to his family. Ruth and Lily were grateful. Odessa later informs Will that the bullet ricocheted, making the shooting a tragic accident. Will is cleared of charges but remains devastated by the young boy's death. Will returns home, haunted by Marco's death. He was traumatically affected, to the point where he snapped at and distanced himself from Marion, and even ignored Betty.
Angie came over and is the only one who supports him emotionally, while he grapples with his guilt and sorrow.
This story was very sad. It started with Faith’s anger and betrayal by Will. She was scared for her son, and thought Will was her friend. He kept the secret of her son from her. It was terrible to see the death of a child from a freak accident. Will tried desperately to save him, but couldn’t. It was a lot of things that happened which led to his death. Will was crushed and fell apart. Good to see Ormewood and Angie working to solve the case. Got to see Marion in action. She worked hard to help Will get through his review. Angie was the only one who could help Will through this.
The format of this episode gave the viewer an upfront look at how an investigation plays out behind the scenes. This was a very good episode. It portrays a gripping, emotional narrative with effective flashbacks and an exploration of investigative processes. It highlights themes of guilt, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of unforeseen accidents.
