Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched the latest episode of High Potential on ABC or via Hulu subscription, so be warned!
With its Game Master storyline currently sorta-settled after David Giuntoli’s character bizarrely turned himself in, and the hunt for Morgan’s missing hubby limited to what can be gleaned from Mekhi Phifer’s sporadic appearances, High Potential’s weekly drama can now be more formally focused on the precinct’s new captain, as portrayed by Shameless vet Steve Howey. The smugness displayed upon his arrival provided all the awkward punctuation to Soto’s (and others’) disappointment that she didn’t get promoted.
Co-star Judy Reyes addressed that disappointing turnout for her character in an interview with TVLine, and she also offered up some interesting teases for what fans can expect to see in the coming weeks for Soto and beyond.
possibility of a love triangle happening after the new captain’s arrival, but I’m going to just continue assuming that was a hilarious joke for the time being.
High Potential‘s Season 2 will continue its run on the 2025 TV schedule, with new episodes airing every Tuesday night on ABC at 10:00 p.m. ET.
