In High Potential Season 1 Episode 8 'Obsessed,' Morgan faces a cold case of a murder from two years ago that reminds her of the Roman case. She accepts the case and moves on, but now she sees her daughter Ava resenting her father's absence and suffering. Morgan and Karadec steal the episode, skipping their date with Tom to go to Karadec's house, knowing he will be just as obsessed with the case as she is until they solve it. Morgan struggles with her romantic life amid her work and family life, and Karadec's jealousy is evident when he asks if she really wants things to move forward with Tom. Morgan realizes that she needs someone who shares her chaos and controls it when he has to, and that is Karadec. Karadadec's past is revealed when he has a truncated history with Lucia. It is difficult for someone like Karadec to have a personal life outside of a case, as they would always be the second option rather than the priority. Karadec needs someone who shares his obsession and can study a case until they solve it, and that person is Morgan. They share their chaos and make room for it in their lives. The episode of "The Lazarus Effect" returns after a long hiatus, with Morgan and Karadec returning to the case. The story begins when a girl is found dead on the beach, only to be miraculously revived, reminiscent of the Lazarus Effect. The stakes are high as they investigate the murder of her boyfriend, Lucas. Penny's determination to uncover the truth adds emotional weight to the case, as she is not just a victim but someone seeking justice for her loved one. The viewer sympathizes with Penny, who has to navigate this tangled web while carrying the emotional baggage of losing someone she cares about. This episode offers a twist on the typical "girl in danger" narrative, where Penny is an active player trying to uncover the truth herself. The mystery unravels well, with each revelation about Lucas's past and his connections at the beach club keeping things interesting. The pacing is great, with no one suspect dragging on too long and clues placed just enough to keep the audience guessing without feeling too obvious. The red herrings work as intended, keeping the audience from jumping to conclusions too quickly. The episode also provides a rare moment of downtime with Karadec and Morgan, bonding over a quiet night of Chinese food at Karadec's place. Morgan's casually dropping clues about the rice in Lucas's hair is a brilliant touch, keeping the audience engaged without giving too much away too soon. Eddie's actions speak volumes about his guilt, and the episode ends with a satisfying conclusion.
