ABC’s Will Trent is wrapping up a strong third season with episode 18, “Listening to a Heartbeat.” But before diving into that, can we just talk about episode 17 for a minute? Angie revealed that she’s pregnant and it’s not Will’s baby – it’s Dr. Seth McDale’s. That revelation was overshadowed by confirmation that Will’s biological father is the sheriff he’s butting heads with, Sheriff Caleb Roussard (played by Succession‘s Yul Vazquez). Talk about a pivotal episode!
The season three finale, “Listening to a Heartbeat,” will air on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 at 8pm ET/PT.
“Listening to a Heartbeat” Plot: Unleashed by a domestic terrorist group, a mysterious biological attack runs rampant in Atlanta. As Will and his team race to contain the threat and save countless lives, he’s forced to confront the complex dynamics of his own family.
Ramón Rodríguez leads the cast as the titular character. Erika Christensen stars as Angie Polaski, Iantha Richardson is Faith Mitchell, Jake McLaughlin is Michael Ormewood, and Sonja Sohn is Amanda Wagner. Gina Rodriguez joins the cast as Marion Alba for season three.
