Will Trent’s Olas Collective arc had the potential for a gripping finale, but the episode, “One of Us Now,” landed with a silly whimper, not a bang. The show took a curious detour, descending into a “Cop Rock” oddity that turned the cast into characters plucked from Saturday Night Fever. Let’s break it down.

Special Agent Will Trent (Ramon Rodriquez), blindfolded on a bus last episode, wakes up to an unsettling “baptism” at the Olas Collective. Rain Wood (Robin Weigert) announces that a retreat participant, Quincy (Anthony S. Goolsby) will be leaving. Will tries to talk to Quincy—no luck.

Instead, Will fixes a ukulele for Naomi (Katherine Pittard), a daycare worker, who hesitantly strums “Last Dance” by Donna Summer. “Maybe Rain will let you keep it. It’s just music,” Will suggests. Naomi nervously replies, “Outside objects carry spiritual pollution.” The lyrics— “Last Dance. Last Chance” — Was the song choice a wink from the writers?

Will secretly collects DNA from a crying baby, then he calls his boss Amanda Wagner (Sonja Sohn) to let her know. But gun-toting teen Finn (Lailah Pruitt) catches him. “You’re not supposed to have that,” she warns. Will spins a story about missing his dog, Betty—true enough that Finn lets him off easy, even introducing her forbidden pet bunny, Petunia. The cult’s quirks keep coming as Will learns that Rain allows Finn to carry a gun because she’s a Virgo. Strange logic, but hey, cults are quirky.

Special Agent Faith Mitchell (Iantha Richardson), meanwhile, concocts an escape plan for her son Jeremy (Deion Smith). She wants him to run to Bali to avoid prosecution and avoid the wrath of the crime boss, Raphael Wexford. Jeremy refuses to flee. He owns his mistakes, standing firm despite his mother’s worry. Elsewhere, Angie explains to Dr. Seth why she’ll always care for Will, only for Seth to remind her, unlike his late wife, Will is still alive. Again—were the writers hinting at something?

Faith and detective Michael Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) arrest Ike (Michael Maize), a veteran Rain sent to kill the baby’s mother. Ike confesses his crimes but initially refuses to help law enforcement breach the cult’s compound. Fellow vet Detective Ormewood physically confronts him, leading Ike to break down and finally spill the intel needed to save Will.

Naomi’s musical kindness came back to bite her. Her ukulele? Confiscated. Naomi? Dragged away. Will tried to protect Naomi, but Rain and her gloomy cult members turned on him. “He killed a child. He’s a killer,” they accuse.

Then, Will finds Quincy’s shallow grave. He is captured, taken to the barn, and forced to drink sacred water. The water triggered hallucinations whereby the entire cast disco dances to Donna Summer’s “Last Dance.” While such a creative gamble can work in some contexts, this felt contrived and out of place.

Will’s hallucinatory-up dance also hints at a confession of love for Angie Polaski (Erika Christensen) a plot thread shoved into the story with all the grace of a last-minute rewrite. Rain’s villainous motives feel shallow—being in a cult isn’t enough reason for her ruthless actions. And as for the grand rescue? The police show up, infiltrate the Olas Collective without resistance, and wrap things up neatly. Too neatly.

At least the final scenes, Will and Faith’s reconciliation and his reunion with Betty, offered something genuine in an otherwise uninspired conclusion. However, overall “One of us Now” had potential; the payoff did not. This episode was a mixed bag, with flashes of promise overshadowed by false storytelling and an unsatisfying resolution. Fans deserved better after the investment in the multi-week arc. Here’s hoping the wrap up Rafael Wexford’s story goes better. 

Did you enjoy the dance sequence? Do you sense trouble for Angie and Seth? Tell me all about it in the comments.

I am a self-identified ‘woke boomer’ who hails from an era bathed in the comforting glow of a TV, not a computer screen. Navigating the digital world can sometimes leave me feeling a bit unsure, but I approach it with curiosity and a willingness to learn. Patience and kindness in this new landscape are truly valued. Let’s embrace the journey together with appreciation and a touch of humor!
