Will Trent S4E2: Will Considers Killing Ulster; Ulster Is Shot Dead

Collider reports that Season 4 episode 2 of Will Trent, "Love Takes Time," has Will Trent contemplate killing his nemesis James Ulster after an abduction, and that Ulster is later accidentally shot and killed by Susan, a former prison guard who is also described as one of his fiancées.

The episode picks up after Will gives himself up to protect Caleb's son, Calvin; his team briefly believes he is dead until Angie recognizes the cell phone and medallion aren't his. Will escapes his restraints, gains the upper hand and admits to planning to kill Ulster as he debates the choice with Eduardo, the digital assistant he uses for his dyslexia.

Instead, the pair are abducted by Susan, whose hostage scenario shifts into a lighter, almost comic tone even as Ulster and Will share a tense, revealing exchange — including Ulster telling Will, 'You run from the dark. That's why it chases you' — and Ulster's final words, 'See you soon.' The reviewer praises Will's risky moral turn but criticizes Susan as a replacement villain that undercuts suspense, and notes several subplot developments: Amanda's job is threatened, Angie and Seth clash over her risking the pregnancy, Faith and Ormewood remain a steady team, and Will ends the episode lying to Caleb about his intent to kill Ulster.
