This episode has a profound impact on Will, evoking memories from his childhood. It features two guest stars: Scott Foley (from Scandal, Felicity, Whiskey Cavalier) and Ariana Madix (from Vanderpump Rules). The episode kicks off with Ormewood preparing for his side gig as a personal security guard. He’s polishing his shoes while on the phone with Angie, who’s at a store picking up oil for her car. As he’s getting ready, someone rings his doorbell, and Faith enters wearing wading boots. She teases him for telling everyone she’s moving in temporarily, while Angie chimes in, mentioning Ormewood is now working security for Ariana Madix—Faith’s favorite reality star. The two women poke fun at him, but he insists he’s keeping things professional and sees it as easy money.
Ariana Madix greets Ormewood at her apartment, where he’s immediately taken aback by her beauty. She briefs him on the rules before a gathering that turns into an intervention for her friend Rena. As Rena’s family and friends, including her mother, begin the intervention, things quickly spiral out of control. Rena lashes out, throwing things and yelling, and Ormewood tries to calm the situation. Rena tries to escape to the bathroom, but Ariana insists she’s coming with security. In the struggle, Rena’s purse spills, revealing a packet of cocaine. Ormewood grabs it first, but Rena retaliates by spraying him with pepper spray. Chaos ensues as she makes a run for it, and Ormewood falls to the ground.
Meanwhile, Will takes Betty for a walk in the park, chatting with Marion on the phone. Marion’s recovering from her medical exam and is doing well, while Will updates her on Caroline’s recovery. Will leaves Betty tied to a park bench briefly but is distracted by a strange encounter. A man in a baseball cap walks by with a little girl, and Will notices her frightened expression. After running into the bathroom, Will discovers the girl’s jacket in the trash, which leads him to chase the man, eventually tackling him and bringing him in for questioning. The man, Harland Brennan Jenner, denies any involvement in child trafficking, despite Will’s accusations.
Back at Ariana’s apartment, Ormewood stays with her while she desperately tries to locate Rena. She vents her frustration, but after setting Ormewood’s dislocated shoulder (she’s a certified EMT), she apologizes and agrees to let him help find Rena.
Elsewhere, Will and Faith work on the case, investigating the trafficking of a young girl named Abigail. They track down the suspect’s movements via airport footage and plan to trick him into revealing Abigail’s location. Faith uses drugged food to get him to fall asleep, while Angie helps a bicyclist named Seth who was hit by a car. Seth turns out to be Dr. Seth McDale, a doctor recovering from addiction, and he asks Angie out to dinner to celebrate their mutual recovery.
Ormewood and Ariana head to a bar where the bartender gives them information on Rena’s whereabouts. Ariana tricks Ormewood into dancing, and the two bond while she tells him about Rena. At GBI, Marion joins Will and Faith in the conference room as they continue to piece together the investigation. They learn that Abigail’s mother had been beaten and tied up in her basement. Linnox Riggins, a nearby sex offender, was involved in the case, and an APB is put out for him.
Will and Ormewood track down Rena in a building where she’s locked up, hands tied, and mouth taped. After a brief confrontation with Rena’s dealer, who demands $5000 for her release, Ariana gives him her earrings in exchange for Rena’s freedom. But not before the dealer’s bodyguard knocks out Rena’s teeth. Ormewood knocks out the bodyguard, and Ariana fights off the dealer. They manage to escape, though Ariana’s heel gets stuck, and Ormewood gallantly carries her out in his arms—romantic!
Back at the hospital, Dr. McDale gets his arm in a cast, and Angie helps him with his meal. They share a tender moment and agree to go on a proper date. Meanwhile, Will and Faith interrogate Harland Jenner, who eventually offers to make a deal.
They outsmart him and uncover the location of Abigail, while also shutting down a large trafficking ring. Will visits Abigail in the hospital, giving her Betty the dog and a Betty doll as she thanks him for saving her. He reassures her that her mother will be arriving soon. Will then takes a moment to thank Marion for her support, promising to be there for her as well. Ariana visits Ormewood at home, where he returns her earrings after the dealer’s arrest. They share a passionate kiss before she leaves.
This episode was a rollercoaster of action, emotion, and suspense, with a heartfelt rescue and some romantic moments. Both guest stars made a lasting impression, and the show just keeps getting better! And, of course, Betty was adorable as always!
