ABCAfter those explosive cliffhangers, there’s everything to play for in Will Trent Season 3 Episode 18. But is there a new episode on tonight? Here’s when to watch the finale.
Three seasons in, you can find our lead as a Special Agent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, but that doesn’t mean the trauma of his past has fully left him. With one episode left to go until the Season 3 finale, Will Trent’s latest instalment has made that very clear.
If you’ve watched even one episode of the binge-worthy TV show, you’ll know our hero’s past is a complicated one. Abandoned and forced to endure a harsh upbringing in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster care system, Will has been intent on making a difference ever since.
On top of that, his on-off relationship with Angie is about to face its biggest challenge yet. With Will’s personal life spiraling out of control, a hospital biohazard makes Season 3 Episode 18 unmissable. But is it on tonight?

ABCAll Season 3 episodes so far have been between 40-45 minutes, and there’s no reason for anything to change during the home stretch.
If any episode of Will Trent Season 3 is going to be significantly longer, it will be this, given it’s the season finale. If it is longer, fans shouldn’t expect it to breach the 60-minute mark.
What will happen in Will Trent Season 3 Episode 18?
Following on from Episode 17’s explosive cliffhangers, a bio-hazard storyline is on the horizon, with Ormewood, Seth, Nico, and Betty stuck in a locked-down hospital.
Star Erika Christensen told TV Line, “[Fans] should be very worried. We uncover through the finale how easily communicable and how fast-acting this bioweapon is. Everyone’s in danger, especially if they’re in the hospital, stuck with all these people who’ve already been infected, so they’re all at great risk.”
Season 3 Episode 17 also revealed Angie is pregnant with Dr. Seth McDale’s baby, and Bradford County Sheriff Caleb Rousard was confirmed to be Will’s biological father.
Obviously, both of these storylines have the power to change – or derail – Will for good. For Angie, it’s bound to affect her too. She’s just as surprised as anyone else that she’s pregnant, following on from the death of her mother and subsequent alcohol relapse. She’s also got previous trauma surrounding sexual assault, which could change how she approaches her pregnancy.
Then there’s Will and Caleb. Both are unsure how to feel about the DNA results, and we can’t yet tell how the reveal is going to affect their personal and professional relationships. It remains to be seen if everyone comes out the other side alive, and whether Will’s relationships with Caleb and Angie can pull through.
