Theoretically, the best-case scenario would be for Angie to get a slap on the wrist from the DA, which is highly possible considering Angie’s own traumatic experiences with Lenny and her desire to protect Crystal from harm. Even then, though, it’s unclear what her decision might mean for her career — surely Amanda Wagner (Sonja Sohn) will have to remove her recommendation for the GBI — or her relationship with Will.
Angie and Will were at such a solid point in their relationship, finally. Finally! And now? How can they ever recover? And would they even want to?
About this open ending, executive producer Liz Heldens told TV Insider, “It’s kind of nice to sort of throw all the pieces in the air and figure out where they’re gonna land. And so I think it’ll be a nice challenging shake-up for us.”
Meanwhile, EP Daniel T. Thomsen added, “I think one of the things that people love about the show is how real it feels in terms of what these characters are going through, and I think that this kind of just seismic change that you have to find a way to roll with is kind of a part of life for people. And so yeah, we’re excited to kind of figure out what it looks like for her as well as he is forced to contemplate a chapter of his life without Angie.”
Where is Will going now?
One of the most immediate question marks after the finale is, of course, where in the world Will is off to right now. He left Nico (Cora Lu Tran) in charge of the house and took off with Betty. We know he has some family in Puerto Rico, so is it possible he’s heading back to the island to unwind after such a difficult case outcome? Or is there business for him somewhere else right now?
One thing’s for sure: The fact that he didn’t give any notice is pretty stunning.
Does Michael have a shot at GBI now?
Assuming Angie is no longer in contention for a position at GBI — which is an extremely fair assumption — the position might still be open for another applicant. Considering how much time Michael Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) has spent with the GBI working on the spree killer case, maybe they’ll see him as a good match for the team.
This would be especially helpful to him, of course, as he potentially faces the firing of his partner and tries to lay out a case for child custody rights. Speaking of which…
Are Michael and his wife going to have a bitter divorce?
Are Michael and his wife going to have a bitter divorce?
Ormewood’s wife has been completely out of the picture lately and only recently returned from her mental health break to visit her daughter in the hospital after the kid’s emergency appendectomy. Michael has been (rightly) understanding that she needed to care for her mental well-being, but when she returned and told him of her intentions to divorce him and seek sole custody of the children, well, something snapped.
He promised that he would not allow such a thing to happen, saying that although he’s happy she’s feeling better, she is not taking his kids away from him. So now we have to wonder what’s next for these two. Will she back down, or are they in for a very rocky divorce in the next season?
