If you simply completed watching the March 31 episode of “High Potential,” permit us that can assist you choose your jaw up off the ground. The penultimate hour of Season 2 lastly went there with one of many present’s will-they-won’t-they pairings, and whereas we’re not solely stunned that it occurred, we’re very stunned by how a lot we loved it.
The episode put Morgan & Co. on the hunt for a workforce of extremely expert thieves — the exact same workforce that murdered Wagner’s fiancée/companion again in Sacramento, making this an extremely private case for him. Too private? We’d say so, until it is protocol for a captain to get drunk on the scene of against the law and for certainly one of his consultants to have to hold him inside his home like a large, good-looking child.
Wagner obtained fairly private with Morgan after she introduced him dwelling, recalling the precise second that his fiancée bled out in his arms. We’ve seen Wagner open up before, however he is by no means been fairly this weak. And as a result of this is not our first time on the TV rodeo, we all know what alcohol, vulnerability, and stress inevitably results in. Sure sufficient, Wagner clumsily tried to kiss Morgan, although she correctly excused herself from the premises earlier than issues obtained out of hand. Or, quite, out of garments.
(Side be aware: When Morgan introduced Wagner again to his home, was there already a roaring hearth lit in his lounge? We really feel such as you’re not imagined to have these going whenever you’re not dwelling.)
Unfortunately, all the above was nothing in comparison with the stress that Morgan was about to face. As the one one who had seen a map of the criminals’ base of operations, Morgan obtained a front-row seat to the LAPD’s ambush, practically dropping her life within the course of. Her entire world stopped when one of many thieves held her at gunpoint, just for Wagner to play hero and save her life. Later, when Wagner obtained his palms on the precise gunman who shot his fiancée, Morgan narrowly stopped him from beating the man to dying.
The occasions of the day weighed closely on Morgan, who fought to compose herself within the lavatory mirror, and on Wagner, whom she ran into within the elevator. All it took was three little phrases from Morgan (“Are you OK?”) for Wagner to pounce, and he or she did not put up a combat. When he ultimately pulled his lips away from Morgan, he gave his reply ((*17*)) earlier than exiting the elevator, leaving her with quite a bit to contemplate.
And in typical “High Potential” style, Morgan and Wagner’s first kiss got here proper when Soto and Karadec had been poring over a photograph of Willa Quinn assembly with Wagner Sr., making them query what position their new captain may very well be taking part in in all of this.
