High Potential's newest episode featured two surprise arrests. During season 2, episode 3 off the hit ABC series on Tuesday, September 29, Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) told Ava (Amirah J) what she learned from Arthur (Mekhi Phifer) about Roman's disappearance. Ava didn't take it well that her father lived one state away and ended up throwing paint on one of Roman's murals. Ava was arrested and when Morgan tried to deescalate the situation, she instead ended up behind bars as well. The mother-daughter duo worked out their issues before they were released but it remains unclear where the Roman story line is headed next. High Potential, which premiered in September 2024, follows a high-potential intellectual named Morgan who teams up with the LAPD to help solve murders. She gets paired up with Karadec (Daniel Sunjata), who is initially skeptical about how Morgan can assist the Major Crimes unit but ultimately starts to rely on her. What to Know About High Potential's Supersized Season 2 After Major Twist The season 1 finale aired in February and confirmed that Morgan's ex Roman was still alive after going missing for more than a decade. The only information Morgan - and all of Us - have is that her ex worked as an FBI informant and he doesn't trust the LAPD. This has created an issue for Morgan since she's a consultant, which Roman has questioned according to his friend Arthur. Disney/Mitch Haaseth Executive producer and showrunner Todd Harthan previously spoke to Us Weekly about the plan for Roman's unveiling. "We've talked about it quite a bit like, 'Wow, we have the time, and hopefully now the show is a success and we could go and get this actor or that actor.' But the truth is, I haven't had a deep conversation with Kaitlin about it - and she'll have a strong opinion. She's very active and involved with casting and has incredible instincts," Harthan told Us in February. "So the short answer is no. We have some favorites and actors I really respect that would be great." Roman might not return right away though. Which 'High Potential' Stars Are - And Aren't - Returning for Season 2? "I think frustration is a good thing with an audience. It is a healthy frustration - don't give them too much of what they want too soon," Harthan noted about the "deepening" mystery. "I'd be totally lying if I said I have all the answers to that mystery. The wonderful thing about welcoming other brains to the room is how we make sure we don't fumble this ball and we tell this story in the most satisfying way imaginable. There's some cool stuff coming though." Amirah, meanwhile, recently teased what fans can expect in season 2, sharing with Us, "In my opinion, I love season 1 but I feel like season 2 is going to be even better, which I think is going to be really exciting for the fans to see. There is definitely more drama, it is more suspenseful and more heartbreaking in a way too. But in a good way." High Potential airs on ABC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.
