A brief recap of High Potential season 2 episode 7

The episode opens with a thief entering the museum and stealing Rembrandt’s painting, worth $20 million. When the LAPD arrived at the crime scene, Morgan noticed that the thief had ignored several expensive paintings that were right in front of him and instead went for one that was farther away from where he had broken in. This shows that the thief’s motive wasn’t money — he wanted that specific painting for a personal reason.

During the investigation, they learned that the Weisemans had sued the Fosters, claiming the painting rightfully belonged to them since their ancestor bought it in 1932. However, it was taken away during the N*zi attack, and they had no proof to support their claim. While researching the painting’s history, Daphne discovered a thief with a similar pattern — he always broke in through a skylight or window, leaving aluminum oxide particles near the glass he had broken. The same signs were also found in this museum theft.

This suggests that he could be the same person; meanwhile, the new member, Rhys (an insurance company agent), receives a call from a stranger who is willing to provide something important —a lead related to the painting —in return for $500,000. Morgan and Rhys went to meet him but ended up getting suspended from the case. 

Nick lashed out at Morgan for not following orders and heading to the crime scene without his permission. Although they brought in a new lead, the guy who called Rhys left an envelope for him and was willing to meet him at Woodley Park. Nick and Kardec take over the case from here on, but they end up losing the suspect during their argument while chasing him. 

Morgan gets a big shock while kissing Rhys when she sees gunshot scars on his shoulder — the same marks that link him to the thief who failed a robbery in Madrid. The episode ends with Arthur in danger as a man sits behind his car and asks for Roman’s backpack, which Arthur had given to Morgan. Once this man finds out where the bag really is, it could bring more danger to Morgan and her daughter, Ava, which will be continued in High Potential season 2 episode 8.
