Audiences will see Morgan and the team deep in the danger and chaos of another case in High Potential Season 1 Episode 4! And I thought the knife-wielding bartender from the previous episode was a slippery situation.
The series certainly isn’t letting off the gas anytime soon. The training wheels are coming off, and it’s time for Morgan to sink or swim.
Since High Potential is a series that boasts as much heart as it does brain power, there’s a good chance there will be quite a few tear-worthy moments.
Audiences are likely to experience every emotion under the sun from watching a single episode of High Potential.
The Kids Will Be Alright Because Morgan Is On The Case!
First, there are kids involved in this case. That immediately tells me Morgan is about to be massively invested.
Her character not only fully embraces her role as a mother but relishes and celebrates every moment she spends with her children.
As the High Potential Season 1 Episode 4 promo shows, Morgan has a heart-to-heart with the mother in the bathroom.
The woman has barely finished explaining about her missing daughters before Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) jumps right on the case. You’ve got to love that big heart of hers.
What follows after is a montage of scenes depicting how intense the next episode will likely be. So far, Morgan has managed to keep a level head on the job, but what happens if her emotions get the better of her?
We saw how quickly things can spiral out of control from one mistake in High Potential Season 1 Episode 3. As a result, Karadec gave Morgan a “disappointed big brother” speech that she greatly needed.
It would be completely understandable if Morgan took this next case so close to heart, but no more quitting on the spot. The series has milked that for all its worth.
High Potential Brings In A TV Vet To Hopefully Make Up For Her Last Movie
As for the mother seen in the bathroom scene with Morgan, the actress is a bit of a vet. Madeline Zima has been in the entertainment industry for over thirty years.
Trigger warning: I’m about to make a lot of people feel old. Zima played one of Hilary Duff’s step sisters in 2004’s A Cinderella Story alongside Jennifer Coolidge and Chad Michael Murray.
I know what you’re thinking. How can that movie be from 2004 when it’s only ten years old? Listen, the movie stayed as magical as ever. It’s the rest of us that have aged.
However, Madeline’s career has been a vibrant tapestry of different projects. The actress has made the TV rounds, from Grimm and The Vampire Diaries to Good Girls and Hacks.
Most recently, she starred alongside Megan Fox in the dumpster fire, Subservience, about a crazy, hot killer robot. Emphasis on the crazy.
I love Miss Fox, but that movie was trash. It’s only worth seeing to witness Michele Morrone in all his handsome, chiseled glory.
However, if you were one of the unfortunate few to see that movie, you likely noticed that Madeline Zima went in on her character.
Miss Acting sold the hell out of that movie. Sadly, it wasn’t enough to make the film bearable.
While that’s not great news for XYZ Films, it’s a boon for ABC and High Potential. The actress can spread her talent all over the next episode to help audiences forget about — wait, what was that movie called again?
Morgan And Karadec Could Have An Unexpected Dynamic
What I’m looking forward to more than ever is seeing Morgan and Karadec in action together. Is it me, or do they have a brother-sister dynamic?
In my previous reviews, I speculated that Karadec and Morgan could grow romantic feelings for each other. A lot of you did not like that!
Luckily, I see a better path and relationship for these two agents of justice. They act a lot like siblings. Anyone who has a brother or sister may have noticed that their bickering feels familiar.
Do not worry, though, because Mama Selena (Judy Reyes) keeps these two kids from ripping each other apart.
As someone who has sustained multiple physical injuries from his sisters, I can tell you that things can get really heated really fast. Still, there’s a level of love that will make you do anything to protect that person.
Hopefully, that is the direction Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Morgan are headed because no one wants to see these two kissing.
High Potential Does A Fantastic Balancing Act With Morgan’s Layered Life
Even though we know the next episode will focus on a kidnapper and the girls he took, there’s still plenty that could happen in the next episode.
For one, Morgan’s) family has been front and center in every episode so far. High Potential does a fantastic balancing act with Morgan’s layered life.
As an extension of that, we should continue to see the captain hard at work fulfilling her end of the bargain with Morgan. It’s still too soon to speculate what happened to Roman.
We know he disappeared after going out to buy diapers fifteen years ago. Whether he is dead or alive is anyone’s guess.
Roman’s arc may turn into the main plot. The same thing was done on Elsbeth with the titular character investigating Captain Wagner. It went from the side story to the central issue of the season.
Either way, whatever direction High Potential goes in, the series will undoubtedly continue to deliver moments of laughter, tears, and knowledge.
Oh, and amazing coats and killer boots if Miss Morgan doesn’t let the new gig get in the way of looking fabulous in every episode!
