Ormewood’s Shocking Fate in Will Trent Season 4 Revealed

by

In the season finale of “Will Trent,” co-showrunners Liz Heldens and Daniel Thomsen discussed the potential consequences of Ormewood’s collapse. Despite being saved by Will following an attempted shooting by the Founders Front, it appeared that Ormewood had managed to escape danger. Yet, in the last few moments of the season 3 finale, Ormewood’s vision faded, and he fell unconscious, possibly due to his tumor. Faith summoned an ambulance, leaving Ormewood’s condition uncertain.

Rachel Foertsch and Grant Hermanns from ScreenRant had a chat with Heldens and Thomsen, discussing the surprising turns in the Will Trent season 3 finale, particularly the Ormewood cliffhanger. The show creators mentioned that they’re still working out Ormewood’s narrative details but aimed to make his current situation feel authentic. With his recent transition into single parenthood and encountering a significant health issue, Ormewood’s self-perception has undergone a dramatic shift, which Heldens and Thomsen are eager to delve deeper into. Here’s the conversation they had:

In a different wording: ScreenRant… we witnessed Ormewood falling down, and it’s uncertain if he will recover. Should he pull through, this incident may lend a sense of authenticity to his ongoing struggle with the tumor as we move into the next season.

Liz Heldens: We’re still working out the creative aspects. His strength and physicality are crucial components of his identity, making it intriguing to consider him on his journey towards recovery, striving to return to a self he acknowledges. However, yes, the idea of a brain tumor was initially introduced in an episode written by Dan, and we later decided to escalate this into a genuine crisis.

Daniel Thomsen expresses his enthusiasm for Ormewood in two aspects: Firstly, he anticipates that as Ormewood lets go of certain aspects he believed defined him, he will uncover previously unknown facets of himself. Secondly, Thomsen is captivated by the journey Ormewood has been on since last season, transitioning into a single dad role. He’s taken this responsibility with determination and dedication, like a soldier would, refusing to falter, but could use some improvement in emotional intimacy with his children.

I believe this significant shift in his life will necessitate a new approach when dealing with his children, as being an exceptional father alone won’t suffice. This transformation offers an intriguing perspective on our cop who initially came across as reserved and almost overly masculine. Now, he can no longer maintain that persona. Instead, he must evolve into someone new. I enjoy delving into this aspect.

What This Means For Ormewood In Will Trent Season 4

He Could Radically Change As A Character… If He Survives

For Ormewood, life seems relentless with one challenge after another. Following a divorce and a protracted custody battle, he was hit with a brain tumor diagnosis in the 14th episode of season 3 on ‘Will Trent’. In the finale, this health issue caused him to collapse. Although it’s uncertain if he’ll make it through season 4, creators Liz Heldens and Dan Thomsen hint that he may survive, as they appear keen on delving deeper into his character.

Ormewood has experienced a significant transformation throughout the series. The character we saw in season 1 as a womanizing, corrupt police officer is now a much better father since becoming a single parent in later seasons. As the story continues into season 4, it seems that Ormewood’s surgery will be moved up due to his recent collapse, potentially leaving him more exposed physically than ever before and further challenging his sense of self.

Our Take On How This Will Change Ormewood’s Character

He’ll Be Vulnerable, And May Turn To Faith For Help

If Will Trent undergoes surgery at the start of season 4, Ormewood will be facing significant physical and emotional turmoil, compounded by his near-death shooting experience. Typically, he might isolate himself and fortify his defenses, as he had done before. However, considering that he and Faith have formed a strong bond as roommates and fellow single parents, we anticipate that Ormewood’s newfound vulnerability will draw them even closer together. The hardships he encounters are helping Ormewood grow, and it seems likely that this transformation will continue in future episodes of Will Trent.
