Spoiler alert: The ing article contains spoilers from Will Trent season 3, episode 17, «Why Hello, Sheriff.»

Even though Will and Angie are one of Will Trent‘s most important dynamics, their romance might officially be over after season 3, episode 17’s surprise twist. The two characters have had an up-and-down relationship throughout the ABC police procedural show’s three seasons (which is putting it mildly). Will and Angie met when they were kids in the foster care system. They quickly became close and, over time, their friendship turned romantic. Unfortunately, thanks to various traumas and heartbreaking circumstances, Will and Angie could never get the timing right, resulting in numerous breakups and reunions over the years.

Erika Christensen (who plays Angie) directed Will Trent season 3, episode 17, «Why Hello, Sheriff,» while Karine Rosenthal and Jordan Pope wrote it.

Angie made it clear that, after Will arrested her, they couldn’t be lovers ever again. However, both remained hopeful that they could regain their friendship, given how important they are to one another. By the end of Will Trent season 3, Will and Angie have formed a (somewhat) stable platonic dynamic. In the wake of episode 17’s game-changing development, though, Will and Angie’s chances of rekindling their romance are about zero to none.

Angie Still Hasn't Decided What She Wants

ing the events of «Why Hello, Sheriff,» it’s unknown what Angie plans to do next. The entire situation is quite complicated for her. Angie just lost her mother in Will Trent season 3, episode 15, and now she is faced with the possibility of becoming a mother herself. It also doesn’t help that Angie’s mom was incredibly abusive. However, if Angie decides to go through with the pregnancy, this might be the end of the road for Will and Angie (at least, on a romantic level).

Seth promises Angie he’ll be by her side, whatever she decides, and even tells her he loves her in episode 17. Based on this revelation, it seems like Seth wants to stay with Angie. So, if Angie feels the same way and ends up having the baby (and Seth survives the Will Trent season 3 finale), her and Seth’s relationship could be in for the long haul. It’s a giant step, after all. As a result, fans might have to accept that the odds of a Will and Angie reunion are quite low, maybe even impossible.
