Here is the list of the 10 thrilling moments from High Potential that have left us waiting for Season 2:
10. Roman's disappearance (Season 1 Episode 9)

High Potential Season 1 Episode 9 showed that Morgan and her colleagues are investigating a hit-and-run case involving a well-known sportscaster, Marvin Price.
During the investigation, Morgan and Detective Soto discover a potential breakthrough in the case of Roman's disappearance. He is then approached by a guy named Conforth, who offers to share his knowledge of Roman in exchange for his nephew's sentence being reduced. He implies deeper ties when he calls Morgan, Roman, and Ava "RAM," a term that only Roman and Morgan used to refer to one another.
Fans eagerly anticipated Season 2 since this sequence revealed new details about Roman, a long-mysterious character. It also provided an emotional breakthrough, heightening the impact of the season's finale.
9. Morgan and Ludo's co-parenting arrangement (Season 1 Episode 12)

In Season 1 Episode 12 of High Potential, we see Ludo struggling to cope with the kids while Morgan is focused on her job. He has issues with daycare as well, and his stress levels reflect this. Despite this, their cooperation and generosity are clear. On behalf of their family, Morgan investigates Ludo's wealth.
This free assistance displays their continuous love and closeness despite their divorce. This is what Season 1 fans missed out on since the emotional impact of co-parenting was so intense. It creates many doubts about their ability to cope with children in the future and their ability to survive as a joint family team.
8. Morgan shows up at Karadec’s apartment uninvited (Season 1 Episode 8)

High Potential Season 1 Episode 8 shows Morgan, who is fully engaged in solving a cold case at the beach. She decides to postpone their dinner date with Tom even though she is at work because it is late. She finally gets to eat with Tom after solving the case. She gets a lead on Roman from a black-market trader, but she is out of it until Selena calls. The fact that Morgan arrived at Karadec's house without an invitation is not stated explicitly in the overview sources.
It probably alludes to how Morgan's strong will and abrupt changes between her personal and professional lives strain their relationship. Such a spontaneous emotional outburst suggested that she and Karadec might be closer. Her erratic forays into his personal space in Season 2 left viewers wondering how their relationship would develop.
7. Morgan’s silent storm (Season 1 Episode 8)

In High Potential Season 1 Episode 8, viewers witness the team investigate a woman found unconscious on a beach with blunt force trauma to her head. That inquiry awakens perceptions in Morgan herself about her loss and unresolved grief because of the disappearance of Roman. Selena makes a call later to inform Morgan about an individual who is related to Roman. Meanwhile, Morgan's daughter, Ava, watches as her mother is emotionally uprooted.
Such emotional weight is what draws fans to Season 2 since it shows Morgan balancing her tragedy and trying to be strong for her baby. In addition, they would be curious about how Morgan and Ava would work things out or how Morgan's search for Roman would affect their mother-daughter bond in the upcoming season.

She is battling her emotions of dread, hatred, and impatience. The athletes are horrified by this uncensored show. It also indicates the amount of weight Morgan bears.
Her outburst in that sequence suggests that she is very human, which makes one eager for Season 2. We wonder how she will recover in light of this. We want to see if she can balance her heart and her genius, and what the next cost will be.
5. Past & present collide at the grocery store (Season 1 Episode 10)

In Season 1 Episode 10 of High Potential, Morgan and her children are going shopping after a post-workday. In addition to grocery shopping, she is doing a lot of casework and parenting. A bystander can help by picking up something that has been dropped. Everything appears to be normal. However, not long after, at home, the same visitor leaves a message in Morgan's luggage.
The message reads,
“You’re the one, Morgan. We shall play again.”
The ordinary message suddenly became a thing of horror. The killer was there in the moment that seemed safe.

Morgan has been leading a trail of hints throughout the season to find the father of her unborn child and her lover, whom she lost in TRAIC. In the climax, Karadec reaches Morgan and says only one thing,
"Roman is still alive."
Morgan is falling on the ground. In that one moment, everything is different. In a second, her sadness, quest, and faith are all reconfigured.

These people assume that the puzzles are intended for other members of a bereavement club. However, the riddles are solved by the dazzling intelligence of Morgan. The murderer is staring at her in fascination or dementia. She then finds out that she is the true target in the end.
The moment is a jolt, horrifying and intimate. This sequence puts us on the verge of season 2, as it kicks off a new terror arc. Morgan has won himself a deadly adversary. We have to find out how she responds. We should read whether she can overcome the one who closely observes her life.
2. Morgan's mind-games with a serial kidnapper (Season 1 Episode 13)

It starts with a man who is threatened in a picture as he is chained. He has two hours to survive. Morgan is completing a jigsaw puzzle, which turns out to be a map. She finds his whereabouts using coin-operated binoculars and hopscotch math. Each clue is described as a mental challenge for Morgan.
However, the murderer watches her mind in action. Eventually, she gets to know that the game is not over.
That scene made us want Season 2 since Morgan has rounded off a genius killer that can keep up with her. We need to find out if she can outsmart someone who shares her viewpoint and stay ahead.
1. Oz's terrifying kidnapping and seeming demise (Season 1 Episode 13)

There is the next target in High Potential Season 1 Episode 13, where Morgan and the team are racing through puzzles to rescue a hostage, but this time, the next target is not him. His car airbag bursts and sends him unconscious. It's a spooky anime-style mask staring out the window. Seeing Daphne later, he is chained to the bottom of a pool, wearing an oxygen mask. Karadec jumps in and saves his life. Daphne performs CPR on him. They take him back.
This is a frightening scene that puts the audience on edge since one of the people close to Morgan is in grave danger. It shows that this evil woman is prepared to hurt the people she loves, and that the murderer is not just playing a game. This is what leaves fans wanting Season 2 to see how Morgan and her team will put an end to someone who can be so close and so smart.
These memorable incidents had captured the admiration and increased the tension. Every twist had made the characters even more complex and had brought new questions. Season 2 has been highly anticipated, with fans wondering if there would be a conclusion to the puzzles that are leading somewhere grand.
