I loved the season finale of Will Trent. THAT's how you write a plot twist you guys.

Everyone and their uncle guessed who the killer was (I mean the viewers. And wasn't it satisfying to be right? You bet it was.) The real punch came from what happened after. The emotional rollercoaster of the consequences for the main characters.

And now, we really have no idea how they are going to write themselves out of this hole, but it's going to be a Journey(tm). In January? Serously? That's one long hiatus...

But that's the main MCs and I'm more invested in the secondary MCs. Or. One of them, actually, Michael Ormewood.

The other day I had a moment of trepidation reading some fans' takes in comments on tvline and spoilertv. Many people who read the books seem to want Ormewood to become more like his character from those pages. I would hate it, if that happened.

I don't exactly know the backstory of the book-Ormie, but the one in the show is an ex-army vet with anger issues (yes, I have a type, what of it?). In season one he said he's "doing the work". In season two we saw him doing the work, stepping up for his kids, when his wife left to "find herself again" (good for her). He struggled (that episode with Cooper's braids was golden), but he's coming into his own (it's a process).

And Jake McLaughlin is wonderful in that role. He can be ruthless and aggressive, but in the scenes with the kids he's so gentle and caring it melts my heart.

It would be a shame to waste all that progress, for the shock value of Ormewood becoming a murderer (because his life turned out not quite how he expected). Please, dear writers, I know you're better than that.

The scenes between Ormewood and his wife Gina in the finale gave me hope, that he's not going to be thrown under the bus here. Another storyline is possible for him in season three -- the custody battle. Or adjusting to shared custody. Or anything, really, but not a downward spiral.

I keep my fingers crossed for that and meanwhile, omg, I have a vague idea for a fic. A real, genuine inspiration, that gives me that nice, warm, fluffy feeling (don't get me wrong -- there won't be no fluff. There'll be angst and anger and pain)
