A brief recap of High Potential season 2 episode 4

Episode 4 brought the murder case of Raina Viera and Greta St. John. Raina's frantic call to the police about witnessing a murder led Morgan, Karadec, and the team to her house. However, the lady with dementia denied making a call altogether. While they continued to look at the mysterious case, Raina was soon murdered as well.

On speaking to the neighbor and investigating in the basement, Morgan and Karadec got their hands on a blood-stained dress that could have triggered a memory for Raina. Morgan's sharp observations led them to the murder case of Greta St. John from 2000. Further connecting with Lucy, a close acquaintance of Raina, and the past owner of the Black Jewel Club, the LAPD team learnt about Raina and Greta's singing careers in the past and the role of a dangerous man named Mac Epps in their story.

Several twists and high-stakes moments came ahead in the episode as Morgan, Karadec, Soto, Oz, and Daphne find the real culprits behind both the murders. Captain Nick Wagner is also briefly introduced towards the end of the episode.

While the entire Raina and Greta case kept the team busy in episode 4, there are several points about the central characters that are yet to be explored ahead in the series. From Roman's search to the new captain's entry, episode 5 promises more challenges coming ahead for Morgan and the others.

Here are some expected developments for episode 5:

• Morgan briefly meets Captain Nick Wagner at the end of episode 4. The next part may introduce the character in more detail to the audience and explore what his entry brings for the team.
• The search for Roman continues, with no big developments explored in episode 4. Episode 5 may take the viewers a step closer to finding Morgan's ex.
• Soto did not become the captain in episode 4, and this hurt her deeply. While Morgan supported her at the end of episode 4, the new captain's entry and other developments in Soto's story may be explored in episode 5.

Episode 5 will bring more twists and turns with a new case while attempting to address the unanswered questions from the past episodes.
