This episode kicks off with New Milly and HBeltline preparing backstage at the Atlanta Grooves Festival in Five Points, Atlanta, GA. As they make their way to the stage, they’re ambushed. HBeltline’s throat is slashed, and he bleeds out, while New Milly is stabbed in the leg. They call for an ambulance.
Meanwhile, Faith’s son Jeremy helps her move into Ormewood’s place, as he missed the festival to support her. Faith explains her decision to move in with Ormewood, and Jeremy shares an instrumental he created, showcasing his skills as a sound engineer. Ormewood, impressed, talks about a producer coming to the studio to hear Jeremy’s music, potentially buying the track. Faith is proud of her son, but their moment is interrupted when they hear about HBeltline’s death. Faith is alerted to investigate the murder.
Will Trent arrives at the scene to investigate. Marty, a concert promoter, briefs him on what happened. Will speaks with the person who escorted New Milly and HBeltline to the stage and learns the elevator wasn’t broken, but the breaker was tampered with. Will quickly deduces that the murder wasn’t random—it was an ambush, and the weapon was likely taken by the killer.
Will later meets with Milly and gets more details. Faith finds a live stream showing an unknown rapper, Slow Blizzy, holding the murder weapon, claiming responsibility for the killing and taunting the authorities. Angie, at the station, gets an autopsy report from the coroner, Pete, and they learn about a death at a Swingers Club Party connected to the investigation.
Will and Faith head to Off The Roads Records, where Jeremy is in the studio. They find out that Rafael, the owner, isn't talking without a warrant, but things take a turn when they discover he doesn’t believe Slow Blizzy was the killer. Tensions rise between Will and Rafael, culminating in a physical confrontation in a boxing ring, but Rafael ends up firing Jeremy and buying his track. Faith and Will connect the dots between New Milly’s financial struggles and the murders.
Angie and Ormewood dig into a swinger party witness, Tom Doberjack, who reveals a man was choking Lilith before her death. Meanwhile, Faith interrogates a festival attendee who points them to Frankie Sanchez, who has evidence tying the record company to money laundering.
The investigation takes them to Slow Blizzy’s location, only to find him dead. Will and Faith investigate further, then track down Frankie Sanchez, who reveals New Milly was behind on payments.
Angie and Ormewood continue to work the swinger club case, questioning more suspects, while Angie grows more suspicious of Seth, after discovering clues about his wife and personal life. Seth admits his wife is dead, but Angie feels misled. She later finds closure with Seth and apologizes for her assumptions, leading to a kiss.
Jeremy, meanwhile, returns to Off The Roads Records to try to get his job back. Rafael manipulates him into delivering a bag, promising to reinstate him in exchange. Faith can’t find Jeremy, but Will reassures her. Later, Jeremy gets arrested for transporting meth in the bag Rafael gave him. Will steps in and secures Jeremy’s release, revealing he’s been working as an informant to take down a drug trafficking ring. Faith remains unaware, and Will decides to keep it that way.
In the case of Lilith’s death, Ormewood and Angie find out that a drug, GHB, was responsible for her respiratory arrest, clearing up any confusion about Albert’s involvement.
The episode had a fast pace and kept the tension high, delivering the classic Will Trent vibe. The playful moments with Ormewood and Frank teasing Angie about Seth were fun, and it was heartwarming to see Angie and Seth finally get together. It was nice seeing Faith and Jeremy reconnect, though Rafael’s manipulative side was a shock. Will’s plan to help Jeremy, while keeping it a secret from Faith, added a layer of complexity. It left viewers wondering how long this secret can stay hidden.
