THE HUB

The High Potential Season 2 finale, “Family Tree,” delivers exactly what a finale should—huge twists, emotional moments, and a cliffhanger ending that makes the wait for Season 3 feel unbearable. This episode had me on edge from start to finish. The episode opens with a dead body found poolside at the hotel where Lucia works, immediately raising the stakes for Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata). The victim, Vera Hensley, is a high-profile guest, and the situation gets suspicious q

The procedural world is rarely kind to the people in charge, but Captain Nick Wagner really went through the ringer this year. After a season defined by a polarizing facial hair choice and a mounting pile of unsolved mysteries, Steve Howey is officially leaving High Potential as a series regular. While the Season 2 finale left his character’s life hanging by a thread, the off-screen reality is much more definitive: the Captain has sailed his last mission, at least on a full-

“Second Sunday” delivers one of the more intense episodes of High Potential  this season, mixing a high-stakes robbery case with some heavy character drama, especially for Captain Nick Wagner. The episode opens with a creepy montage of masked robbers hitting a tech facility on Mother’s Day, while Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson) spends time with her kids and Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) enjoys a quiet morning with Lucia. It’s a nice contrast that quickly turns serious once the

Season 2 keeps the momentum going with Episode 16, “Turn Up the Heat,” which blends a creative street-art murder case with some major developments in the Willa Quinn storyline. Even though the case itself wraps up a bit simply, the episode’s ending delivers some serious drama. The episode opens with a creepy visual,a delivery bot rolling through a trail of blood, leading investigators to the body of Tyler Villanueva, a graffiti artist known as “Defunked.” Lt. Soto (Judy Reyes

“Astronaut murdered by a pie to the face?!” That was honestly my first reaction when starting High Potential  Season 2, Episode 15, “Pie in the Sky.” This show always finds creative ways to open an episode, but this one might be one of the wildest yet and somehow it still works. The episode begins with beloved astronaut Teddy Barrows being killed during what should have been a celebratory event when someone smashes a pie into his face. It sounds ridiculous at first, but the t

High Potential continues its strong second season with “If You Come for the Queen,” an episode that finally puts Detective Daphne in the spotlight while delivering another twisty case. The episode wastes no time kicking things off with a shocking attack at a spa, someone has tried to kill Dottie. From there we cut to Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson) at home with her family before Lt. Soto (Judy Reyes) calls with the news. Because of their close relationship, Soto puts Daphne (J

Episode 13 of Season 2 of High Potential, titled “In the Driver’s Seat ,”  kicks off the show’s return from hiatus with a strange and chaotic crime scene involving a Smart Car heist that goes completely wrong. When Morgan Gillory arrives, Adam Karadec is already there, but things quickly get more complicated when it turns out a bullet and a dead body are part of the scene. Morgan immediately starts doing what she does best,piecing together the timeline. One of the funnier cre

“The Faust and the Furious” is another one of High Potential’s ambitious and emotionally packed episodes , blending a creepy, high-concept mystery with some of the show’s strongest character work. The episode opens with a quiet and normal, yet unsettling montage of tech mogul Gabe Rafferty’s morning routine, ending with his housekeeper Eugenia discovering him stabbed in his Crestwood Hills home. From there, things escalate quickly. Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson) ropes Adam Ka

“NPC” is another wildly entertaining episode of High Potential , proving once again that this show thrives when it mixes clever cases with strong character work. The episode opens with a man clearly hallucinating and acting erratically only to be abruptly hit by a car. Right away, the episode grabs you and never really lets go. At the crime scene, Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson) immediately discovers that the victim was drugged, not just high, especially after discovering blac

“Grounded” might be one of High Potential ’s strongest episodes yet, mixing a clever mystery with real emotional stakes for Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson). The episode opens with a skydiving crew enjoying the thrill of freefall until one jumper, Alonzo Padia, mysteriously dies midair. It’s an instantly gripping setup and a great way to pull viewers in. Morgan is excited about the case, while Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) tries to keep her from getting ahead of herself. A threateni

High Potential Season 2, Episode 9, “Under the Rug,” leans hard into its darker themes, delivering an episode that’s as much about Morgan Gillory’s emotional unraveling as it is about the crime itself. By the end of the hour, secrets are exposed, relationships are tested, and Morgan is left visibly changed. The episode’s central case starts with a suspicious canyon crash, a dead hitman, and a lot of golfballs but Morgan (played by Kaitlin Olson) quickly realizes it’s no accid
