Will Trent pulled out all the stops for the Season 3 finale, bringing some major shocks and twists to the 2025 TV calendar in the penultimate episode, like the reveal of Will’s real biological father and Angie’s surprise pregnancy, all before the real end. The dramatic third-season finale doesn’t stop with those revelations, leaving not one but two characters fighting for their lives. Now, the stars are opening up about how worried (or not) fans should be about Ormewood and Amanda.
Iantha Richardson Reacts to Amanda After Shooting Surgery
In the Season 3 finale, “Listening to a Heartbeat,” GBI Deputy Director Sonja Sohn was shot by members of a local terrorist group while defending her police station. Though she survived the surgery, as usual, the next 48 hours were described by doctors as “critical.” Iantha Richardson, who plays Special Agent Faith Mitchell, spoke to TVLine about the possibility of Faith losing her surrogate boss and aunt, and how that would be a game-changer regardless of the outcome. As she put it:
It would break her. If anything were to happen to her—which I highly doubt anything would—but when she realizes what happened to Amanda, that would be something that would be a pivotal moment in Faith’s life, for sure.
What happens to Amanda is still unknown, and it seems Richardson isn’t entirely confident that she’ll pull through. While she “very much doubts” anything will happen, Will Trent has proven time and time again that anything is possible and nothing is predictable. And she’s not afraid to kill characters off. It’ll also be quite an acting challenge for Richardson if Amanda doesn’t pull through, as it would have a huge impact on Faith, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be challenged if Amanda does pull through.
Jake McLaughlin Dances Around Inspector Ormewood’s Tumor Condition
As for Jake McLaughlin’s Detective Michael Ormewood, he’s just discovered he has a brain tumor and he seems to be doing pretty well, or as well as you’d expect when you get such life-changing news. Unfortunately, the final scene sees him having a seizure on the kitchen floor, with Faith screaming for help in a panic. McLaughlin seems a little more hopeful that Ormewood will be okay, but ultimately, it’s anyone’s guess:
It leaves things open, and that’s usually what you want to do at the end of a season and leave things up in the air.
Obviously, there’s no telling what’s going to happen to Ormewood, since this tumor is clearly taking over his life, but he’s very likely going to be okay. People recover from seizures, the tumor is still there, of course, and that’s a sign that things could get worse. While there’s a lot to worry about when it comes to Ormewood, McLaughlin doesn’t seem worried about his character’s fate, at least at the start of Season 4.
Unfortunately, Will Trent won’t be returning later this year. The show will once again premiere mid-season, so fans will have to wait until at least January to see what happens to Amanda and Ormewood. In the meantime, all episodes are available to stream with a Hulu subscription.
