After having his identity stolen and getting locked in the vault by Joe, the real Will (Robin Lord Taylor) forms an unusual friendship with his captor.
While being locked in the cage, Will plays the game hangman with Joe and discusses Joe's desire to be a good person.
Ultimately, Joe decides to let Will go to prove to himself that he can overcome his tendencies to murder every person he locks in the vault. He trusts in Will's promise never to tell anyone about the kidnapping.
Will moves to Manila to be with fiancé Gigi and he stays in touch with Joe via postcards — he also gives Joe his phone number.
Later in the season, Joe calls Will for advice after he finds Delilah's dead body and is unsure if he's the one who killed her.
Will tells Joe that he believes Joe wouldn't kill someone that he wanted to keep alive, leading Joe to pursue the truth behind Delilah's death.
