Spoilers below for the excellent season 1 final of High potentialSo be warned if you haven’t seen on ABC or with a Hulu subscription.

How fabulous would it have been for ABCs High potential To pack “Let’s play” with the reveal that it wasn’t actually the season finale, but just the penultimate episode, with lots of big revelations coming next week? Unfortunately, such wish thinking will get us nowhere, and too much has happened to Kaitlin Olson’s Morgan for me to pay attention to pipe dreams. Fortunately, the network already ordered another season of the procedural drama, so it is a fewer concern to adhere to.

Stand in

And How to see high potential online and stream new episodes weekly wherever

So with that silver for place in place let’s put the three different cliffhanger-sque endings High potential Showrunner Todd Harthan shocked viewers with in front of a long, long hiatus between seasons.

Morgan is the new target of an unidentified and unfamored great bad

In a final that felt like a city-sized space for a PG-13 version of SawBut with riddles that would probably make Jigsaw and most escape rooms to shame. But it all lies in a Longass Day’s work for Morgan, which helps save everyone from some wildly complicated situations. But even though it should have been a big advantage, her brain ways inevitably set mystery Killer’s goal right on her back.

For the first time in High potential‘s race ended an episode without LAPD’s large crime team that got the collar. So not only is the killer still in the big Grimm and A million little things Veterinarian David Giuntoli brings his winning smile to the villainous role.

Showrunner Todd Harthan confirmed the story continues when season 2 arrives later in 2025 TV planBut told Tvline That it will be played differently than the usual case of the weekly format. With his words:

It’s just one of the difficult things that I thought elementary did really well. A lot of shows have done really well where you find the pockets where (that story) flares up again, right? You almost let the audience forget about it and then they start talking online. And then you make them wait straight until they get angry for you and then you give it to them.

Look, although we know Morgan will not be consistently attacked or taken hostage on a weekly basis, that does not mean that we will be able to stop worrying about her as it sounds like Giuntoli’s character will be in The long run, at least relatively. To the point where Todd Harthan does not seem completely sold by referring to the guy as the Bigly bad, but rather a lingering threat.

So I guess this cliffhanger would be de facto that is to worry the most about the fact that Morgan’s life would actually be in danger because of it. And yet, there is still more to stress with.

Morgan’s missing man novel is apparently still alive

Before the new killer thriller angle, High potentialThe most important overall plotline has been about Morgan who tried to collect enough information to prove that her long -scoring husband novel did not give up her family. It is the most difficult kind of story to develop and balance without ever giving away too many details at once while still moving forward and keeping hope alive.

The cordDomenick Lombardozzi has been a lynchpin for this tale driver after he was introduced earlier in the season as a COP-UNDER CRIMAL, whose underground connections inevitably make him the best source of new details of what novel had to do with around that time , He disappeared from Morgan’s life. So when his name appeared in the credits, I figured a bomb shell would fall down, and so did.

Although I still don’t quite understand why Karadec is so specifically matched to prevent Morgan from ever talking to Lombardozzis Gio, and rather rude demanded that she allow him to meet with hoodlum (which happens to be a caring father), it looks To as if Gio dropped the mother River for all updates: novel is still alive! And may have had to leave his normal life because of a criminal informant situation that goes into stomach.

I doubt we will immediately zipper to find the thought-dead character when Season 2 arrives, and will probably review more developmental revelations from week to week. But considering that the audience did not actually tell Karadec that novel is still alive, part of my brain will calmly stress over the notion that the LAPD detective could lie to Morgan. I don’t think that will be the case.

Tom came back to see Morgan, and then she left him to focus on the matter

While I don’t normally put so much headspace on network -tv relationship, High potential Has given Kaitlin Olson’s character quite complicated sets of options. From the missing man whom she still has love for (especially now) to the work partner whom fans want to see her with, to the former district’s custody / nursing student who has actively shown her attention and mild love. And I’ve made it no secret that I’m all in Morgan and JD Pardos Tom connected.

I was purely concerned at any time High potential Apparently, Tom wrote out by sending him to San Diego, and although the metaphorical door was left open for his return, I did not actually expect it. Especially not after Morgan and Karadec have become closer in recent weeks. They even danced together on the gala with all the vibes floating. But then Daniel Sunjata’s character gracefully came back when Tom made his surprising look, and did not seem to have any prevalence by doing so.

To should Has been enough to get me pumped, but then almost immediately leaves Morgan & Co. February gala to trace Deniz Akdeniz’s Oz, which became almost a drowning victim. But did he and Morgan shared on good terms, or did he rightly be frustrated to drive to LA from San Diego only to be left behind?

So yes, in the end, I guess I am most stressed by the idea that a dishonest, smart and charismatic killer is loose and fascinated by having someone as smart as Morgan as a rival. But as I know beyond the shadow of doubt that the creative team will not kill Morgan, I take the cheesy route and worry that her and Tom’s sexual escapades are being interrupted by a phone call from novel. Because yikes and double yikes.

Keep an eye on more season 2 updates when they become available, and don’t forget to keep Kaitlin Olson -train in progress when It’s always sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 Debuts later in the year.
