What happened in the season 3 finale?

Season 3 left many of the key characters at life-altering crossroads. Will was still reeling after finding his biological father, Sheriff Caleb Roussard, and that Angie is pregnant with Seth’s baby. As Will processed his feelings, he, his partner Faith, and APD detective Ormewood also had to race to combat a biological terrorist attack. When we last saw them, Amanda was critically injured in the hospital, and Ormewood’s brain tumor caused him to have a seizure at home.

What does season 4 have in store?

Will tackles new high-stakes cases, all while confronting the emotional scars of the past and complications of the present. His dynamic team returns with gripping new cases and deepening relationships.
