Will Trent - A Funeral Fit for a Quartermaine
The death of Ms. Pearl (Marla Gibbs) in "A Funeral Fit for a Quartermaine" is the precipitating event for Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and the team to wrap up the Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) case in an episode that devotes multiple segments to giving us a young Rafael (Yannick Haynes) and Will (Andres Velez) highlighting the ebbs and flows of their relationship including their first meeting. The segments provide a bit more backstory but lacks any shocking revelations. Despite their turmoil, the pair come together to honor the woman they both loved and plan a funeral together (which Will uses to spy on Rafael and Rafael uses for money laundering purposes) before getting caught in a shoot-out at the funeral.
Although we don't see the confirmation of Jeremy's (Deion Smith) time as a confidential informant being over, the arrest of Rafael and his testimony to help take down the gang would seem to also put him in the clear. And with Rafael and Sunny (Kyrie Mcalpin) headed into witness protection that also ties up the subplot of the girl staying with Amanda (Sonja Sohn). It's the B-story where the show introduces a new ongoing element where Ormewood's (Jake McLaughlin) erratic behavior leads to the discovery of a medical condition which could be serious (although how serious can a brain tumor be for a guy with such little brains to begin with?).
