‘High Potential’: What’s Next After Morgan’s Shocking Kiss?
Spoiler Alert
As High Potential nears its Season 2 ending, the series is delivering a major twist, as Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) shared an intimate moment with one of her coworkers. Fair warning that there are spoilers for High Potential Season 2 Episode 17 ahead!
In the episode “Second Sunday,” viewers were offered more insight into Captain Nick Wagner (Steve Howey), who raised suspicions surrounding his potential involvement in his father Nick Sr.’s (Clancy Brown) crooked practices. When Morgan noticed that he’d been keeping tabs on robberies, it concerned the LAPD consultant, as she wondered whether that linked him to a recent robbery and the main crime at the center of this episode.
It turned out that the crew who committed the robbery was responsible for having shot Wagner’s former colleague and real-life fiancée, causing her death. Determined to help bring these criminals to justice, Morgan and the team rallied to catch the robbers and provide Wagner with that peace of mind.
Amid the investigation and Morgan’s understanding, Wagner made a move to kiss her at his home after she helped him there following a few drinks. Morgan refused the contact, and Wagner respected that, having misread the situation.
The spark didn’t go away, though, and Morgan gets quite emotional over the case, witnessing Wagner’s inner turmoil after capturing his late fiancée’s killer. It turned out that it was a tipping point for Morgan as she met the Captain in the elevator on her way home, as she exited the police station.
Without looking at Wagner, she asks how he is doing, before they share a glance and he goes in for a kiss that is arguably one of the show’s steamiest to date. As fans have been teased with the will-they-won’t-they vibes between Morgan and her partner Karadec (Daniel Sunjata), it seems like a new romance is on the horizon instead.
But could it be short-lived? Morgan still doesn’t know about the involvement Wagner’s father has with Willa Quinn (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who is directly tied to the disappearance of her ex, Roman. Will we get some answers? Stay tuned and let us know who you think Morgan should end up with in our poll below.

Remember what happened on Moonlighting when Maddie and David finally got together. The series went nowhere after the tryst and I think it lasted just one ore season.

Looking back at that kissing scene…I’m beginning to think it didn’t happen!..when it was over she was just standing there with a “snap outta it” look before she walked away!.. I have to say people..if a man threw a passionate kiss on me like that…he will not be walking away ALONE! Lol..just saying!

I think Morgan and Nick Wagner will make a hot topic on the show..in my opinion much better than her and Karadec because that’s what people were expecting!..Wagner showed interest but Morgan basically shot him down and shut him up with her smart quips….it wasn’t obvious that the elevator kiss was going to happen but she and he looked like they enjoyed it!..
So I don’t think it would tank the show if they hooked up at least once!..what I think might lose viewers is if they keep on this Roman hunt like the Mentalist did with Redjohn..it got boring after a few seasons!..as for Karadec ..if he breaks up with Lucia..Morgan will be there for him..but Wagner won’t be far behind..Morgan will have 2 hot men needing comfort and attention…
Sorry viewers but I’m team NICK WAGNER!

Does anyone remember Veronica Mars when Logan kissed Veronica he was the antagonist that surprised everyone by falling in love with her ..it was THE KISS heard around the world and it totally changed the Dynamics of that series...I felt exactly the same way with the Morgan -Wagner kiss..come on you just don't telecast a KISS like that and go back to once was.. That kiss solidified it for me and I hope the writers are as astute and brilliant as the writers for Veronica Mars. Sorry Karadec you and Morgan do not exude that kind of intense deeply felt connection..Forget the slow burn ..capitalize on the obvious in front of you!
