In the event you simply completed watching the March 31 episode of “Excessive Potential,” permit us that will help you choose your jaw up off the ground. The penultimate hour of Season 2 lastly went there with one of many present’s will-they-won’t-they pairings, and whereas we’re not totally stunned that it occurred, we’re very stunned by how a lot we loved it.
The episode put Morgan & Co. on the hunt for a crew of extremely expert thieves — the exact same crew that murdered Wagner’s fiancée/associate again in Sacramento, making this an extremely private case for him. Too private? We might say so, until it is protocol for a captain to get drunk on the scene of a criminal offense and for certainly one of his consultants to have to hold him inside his home like a large, good-looking child.
Wagner obtained fairly private with Morgan after she introduced him residence, recalling the precise second that his fiancée bled out in his arms. We have seen Wagner open up earlier than, however he is by no means been fairly this susceptible. And since this is not our first time on the TV rodeo, we all know what alcohol, vulnerability, and stress inevitably results in. Positive sufficient, Wagner clumsily tried to kiss Morgan, although she properly excused herself from the premises earlier than issues obtained out of hand. Or, reasonably, out of garments.
(Facet notice: When Morgan introduced Wagner again to his home, was there already a roaring hearth lit in his front room? We really feel such as you’re not presupposed to have these going whenever you’re not residence.)
Sadly, all the above was nothing in comparison with the strain that Morgan was about to face. As the one one that had seen a map of the criminals’ base of operations, Morgan obtained a front-row seat to the LAPD’s ambush, almost dropping her life within the course of. Her complete world stopped when one of many thieves held her at gunpoint, just for Wagner to play hero and save her life. Later, when Wagner obtained his arms on the precise gunman who shot his fiancée, Morgan narrowly stopped him from beating the man to loss of life.
The occasions of the day weighed closely on Morgan, who fought to compose herself within the toilet mirror, and on Wagner, whom she ran into within the elevator. All it took was three little phrases from Morgan (“Are you OK?”) for Wagner to pounce, and she or he did not put up a struggle. When he finally pulled his lips away from Morgan, he gave his reply (“I’m”) earlier than exiting the elevator, leaving her with quite a bit to think about.
And in typical “Excessive Potential” style, Morgan and Wagner’s first kiss got here proper when Soto and Karadec have been poring over a photograph of Willa Quinn assembly with Wagner Sr., making them query what function their new captain could possibly be taking part in in all of this.
