The gripping 2-part season premiere of Will Trent kicked off with the episode "… Speaking of Sharks." Five months after the attack on the GBI, a figure from Will's past escapes prison, forcing him to defy orders and launch a search that rips open old wounds and threatens to destroy everything he's fought to rebuild. In "Love Takes Time (airing TONIGHT)," when Will disappears and is presumed dead, the team scrambles for answers. As Angie questions the evidence, it becomes clear something isn't adding up, while Will, trapped and wounded, races to outsmart his captor.

The year was 1989. It was a time when Harry Met Sally… "The Seinfeld Chronicles" premiered and… yadda, yadda, yadda. The Berlin Wall fell, and the World Wide Web arose. It was a world filled with shoulder pads, power suits and the moment when the word "d'oh" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary. It was also the year Debbie Gibson had one of her biggest hits in "Electric Youth." For those you who, right now, can't help singing the song in your head, you'll probably enjoy Debbie revisiting her poppy, bubbly, electric hit decades later on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
