ABC’s High Potential season two, episode seven—the midseason finale—has the team investigating the case of an art heist. Which is an unintentionally timely storyline, given the recent theft at the Louvre.
(The following recap of season two episode seven contains spoilers!)
Arthur (Mekhi Phifer) calls Morgan (Kaitlin Olson), worried that someone’s been tailing him. He believes it is somehow connected to Roman and the backpack. Morgan claims she hasn’t really learned anything from the backpack, and Arthur suggests that she should hide it. He warns her to be careful.
Morgan’s already looked through the backpack but has Detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Lt. Selena Soto (Judy Reyes) do a thorough examination. Nothing looked familiar to her. Captain Nick Wagner (Steve Howey) interrupts with news that Adam and Morgan need to head out on a high-profile case, so Selena’s on her own examining the backpack. (Nick looks curious, but they don’t tell him anything.)
Morgan and Adam learn the stolen painting is “Young Girl Leaning on a Windowsill” by Rembrandt. Adam wants info on museum employees, and the museum director reveals it’s on loan from Greg and Linda Foster. They purchased it for $20 million. Morgan’s eyes nearly pop out of her head.
Oz (Deniz Akdeniz) confirms one guard was knocked out and the other couldn’t see anything because the thief deployed a smoke canister. Daphne (Javicia Leslie) adds that the material on the floor’s been sent for testing. The point of entry/exit was a skylight. The rope that was used is still dangling from the roof.
Morgan wonders why the thief entered so far away from the stolen painting, passing by paintings worth much more. One was valued at $150,000,000, so why didn’t the thief steal it? The thief wanted that specific Rembrandt and removed it with precision. It wasn’t about the money; they wanted “Young Girl Leaning on a Windowsill.”
Back at the station, they fill Nick in on Morgan’s theory that this was personal. The Fosters’ insurance company hired art recovery specialist Rhys Eastman (Aiden Turner), and Morgan’s not thrilled he’s joining the investigation. Rhys disagrees with Morgan; he’s certain it was stolen for money, like every other art theft. Of course, Morgan doesn’t back down, insisting this time it was personal.
Neither Adam nor Morgan is happy that Rhys accompanies them to the Fosters’ house. The Fosters say they fell in love with the painting at auction and think of the girl in the painting as their daughter. (They don’t have children.) Which leads Morgan to point out they loaned their child to a museum.
Rhys believes he’ll learn the thief’s whereabouts when they talk to someone about selling the painting. The investigation gets sidetracked by Morgan and Rhys’s argument over whether the girl in the painting is a servant or a prostitute, and Adam gets it back on track.
Mr. Foster turns over a folder with all the past owners of the painting, and Morgan looks through it back at the station. She summarizes the key points for Adam and confesses she really doesn’t care about keeping an insurance company from paying a check to people who definitely don’t need more money.

The material on the museum’s floor had aluminum oxide, which melts glass. That’s why there weren’t any glass shards from the skylight on the floor. Oz learned the same MO was used in a heist two years ago involving a Matisse in Rotterdam.
Daphne does additional research and discovers 19 heists matching their case. In each of the cases, the paintings were worth $10-30 million. The first painting stolen was “A White Duck” by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, taken 12 years ago. More research shows the thief, commonly referred to as “Jean-Baptiste,” was shot in the shoulder five years ago while trying to steal a Picasso in Madrid. Morgan wonders why he hasn’t been caught, and Rhys suggests it could even be 10 different thieves using the same MO.
Daphne discovers Ari Weissman sued for the Rembrandt, but the court ruled against him. Selena pulls Oz and Daphne briefly off the case to help with the Roman investigation, while Morgan, Adam, and Rhys head to Ari’s place.
Ari’s grandmother explains her dad bought the painting in 1932 and hung it on the wall in their home in Krakow. She was the only one in her family who survived the war. The Nazis took their possessions, including that painting. Since then, they’ve kept an eye on auction catalogs until they found it up for sale. The owners offered to sell it to them for $20 million, but they’re middle class and don’t have that kind of money. And the courts ruled against them because they couldn’t prove it was theirs.
Adam notices a framed photo showing Ari is—or was—a gymnast. (The thief went up and down a long rope.) Adam doesn’t mention it but asks for Ari’s alibi. Morgan reveals she saw Ari’s name on the museum’s visitor logs and Ari says he went there to take a photo to show his grandmother.
Back at the station, Selena, Oz, and Daphne bag up and photograph everything in Roman’s backpack. She wants everything tested by forensics, including data extraction on the BlackBerry. The photos in the backpack will go through facial recognition. Selena advises them that if the captain asks about the case, they should refer him to her.
Meanwhile, Morgan’s rejected all babysitter applicants and has hired Ava (Amirah J) to take care of Elliot and Chloe. Ava asks if the cops have found anything about the bag, and Morgan promises to tell her as soon as they do.
Adam questions the museum staff and one employee remembers a guy hanging out by the Rembrandt a few times. She recognizes the photo of Ari that Adam shows her.
Morgan places Ari and his grandmother’s photos on the Suspect side of the crime board and Morgan moves them to the Victims side. She adds a new column to the board and labels it 1939, when the painting was stolen by the Nazis. If they find the painting, Morgan wants it returned to Miriam Weissman, not the Fosters.
Adam tries to explain that’s not how any of this works, but Morgan’s not having it. Rhys takes a phone call and tries to leave, but Morgan stops him. He reluctantly admits someone called and thinks they know the whereabouts of the painting. Morgan insists on going with him.
They wait for the guy outside the museum and he’s late, which gives Rhys time to explain that he’s the only person who does what he does. Since they have time, they head to the museum’s roof to see how the thief got in. Morgan’s just pointing out the glass has a reflective covering when the museum director delivers an envelope addressed to Rhys. Inside is a Polaroid of the painting with a current newspaper to date it. Instructions on the back tell Rhys to bring $500,000 to Woodley Park at 1pm.
Selena’s in a rotten mood even before Daphne reports that forensics is backed up. Oz has better news; one of the photos came back to a man who has a criminal record.
Steve Howey in ‘High Potential’ season 2 episode 7 (Disney/Mitch Haaseth)
Nick’s angry that Morgan and Rhys went to the crime scene at the museum without a police escort. He thinks she’s trying to sabotage the investigation, but Morgan claims she’s not. Rhys hands over the photo and instructions, and Nick springs into action setting up a surveillance operation.
Morgan apologizes, but Nick’s really upset and calls her reckless and insubordinate. He expects her to follow his commands and takes her and Rhys off the case. “Detective Karadec and I can handle it from here. Our consultants have done enough,” says Nick.
The Fosters arrive and Karadec briefly meets with them, while Morgan grabs Rhys and says they’re going for a drink. Morgan can’t believe Nick yelled at her and kicked her off the case, and Rhys tries to change the subject to her kids. She knows what he’s doing and won’t go there, continuing to rage about Nick’s dismissive behavior.
Ava discovers Arthur’s card in her mom’s jacket and calls him to talk about her dad. Arthur thinks they should have a talk about Roman, but not right now. He suggests that he can meet her and Morgan at the diner again sometime. The only thing he’s willing to say now is that Roman always did the right thing and is a stand-up guy.
Nick and Adam have a revealing chat while driving to the meetup spot. Nick admits that he trusts Morgan but needs to know everything going on so that he can protect her. He feels that way about all the detectives in the unit. Adam sticks up for Morgan and warns Nick to find a different way to handle matters when he’s upset with Morgan. If Nick doesn’t, then he and Adam will have issues.
Nick and Adam wait for the person who sent the Polaroid to show up, and Nick confesses he’s waiting for Adam to tell him about Roman. He’s observant and knows something’s up. Suddenly, they spot a man breaking into a car and although Nick wants to ignore it, Adam can’t.He yells at the guy to get away from the car, and the man pulls out a gun. Adam and Nick both draw their weapons, and finally the man puts his down.
The person they’re there to meet speeds away and Nick speeds after him, leaving Adam behind. Adam grabs the car thief’s gun, pushes him away, and drives off after Nick. Nick and Adam argue over the phone as they chase down the person they’re supposed to meet.
The high-speed chase continues as Nick and Adam continue to fight. They wind up losing the suspect but hitting each other’s cars.
Morgan’s downing a beer and yet still won’t stop talking about how much Nick irritates her. She’s convinced it was either nepotism or the fact that Nick’s tall that got him the promotion. Rhys knows Morgan’s trying to figure him out and reveals his dad was a trash collector and his schoolmates used to make fun of him. But when he went to a museum, it didn’t matter about his social class. It’s a poignant story that Morgan misses most of because she’s still fixated on her anger at Nick. However, it’s obvious there’s a spark between them, which leads to a visit to Rhys’ hotel room.
A hot and heavy makeout session follows, but of course that’s interrupted when Morgan notices a gunshot scar on Rhys’ now bare left shoulder. (That’s where the guard shot Jean-Baptiste five years ago.) Her mind races through the clues, which now point to Rhys. Morgan’s phone buzzes so she pulls away for a moment but doesn’t let on to what she’s thinking.
The call’s from Adam telling her to get to the museum. A dead man is lying on the garage floor in a pool of blood. Adam says, “Our case just got blown wide open.”
Episode seven ends on a cliffhanger. Selena looks through everything that was removed from Roman’s backpack. She picks up the photo Oz showed her of the man they can’t ID just as Arthur gets in his car to leave a job site. He sits behind the wheel, and the unidentified man pops up in his backseat, asking about the backpack.

NBC’s Brilliant Minds celebrates the spookiest day of the year with season two, episode six, “The Doctor’s Graveyard.” Charlie (Brian Altemus) takes the interns to a haunted house as a team-building activity, and Ericka (Ashleigh LaThrop) points out that depictions of padded rooms and straitjackets make it more difficult for people to ask for help. Everyone else is into it.
(The following is a recap of season two episode six and contains spoilers!)
A chainsaw-wielding psycho spooks the group, causing them to split up. Van (Alex MacNicoll) and Jacob (Spence Moore II) end up in a mirror maze, and Dana (Aury Krebs) and Charlie wind up together. Ericka has to handle the haunted house alone. Unfortunately, she’s trapped in an elevator, which is the worst-case scenario after her recent experience in one. She panics and runs out, straight into Jacob’s arms. He assures her he’s got her as an actor, portraying a mental patient in a straitjacket, cackles.
Meanwhile, Oscar (Zachary Quinto) hears a knock on his door and thinks it’s his dad. No one’s there. He spots a dead woman and freaks out. Fortunately, it’s just a dream and he wakes up, shaken.
A 30-year-old man is brought without vitals after spending time in an ice bath. The EMTs have tried to revive him for 30 minutes, but Jacob wants a normal temperature before calling it.
Nurse Nico Silva (Al Calderon) walks around confiscating any costumes, reminding everyone they’re unprofessional. Dana thinks that Nurse Silva is killing the Halloween spirit, while Ericka notes that the third person has just died in Room 313 this week. “The curse continues,” says Dana. Josh (Teddy Sears) insists curses aren’t real and won’t let them take the room out of rotation. Oh, but then Josh won’t let them move one of his patients into it. So, is it cursed or not, Josh?
A process server hands Josh papers, and Oliver points out that maybe the curse is real.
Even Carol (Tamberla Perry) is working on Halloween, which is unusual since she loves costume parties. She reveals that she is not interested in Halloween this year because she always dressed up in a couple’s costume with Morris.
Oliver overhears a man refusing to believe his boss, Cyrus (Arian Moayed)—the man who was brought in unresponsive—is dead. Jacob describes Cyrus’ condition and that even after being warmed up, he doesn’t have any vitals. Oliver checks him out and has EMT Katie Rodriguez (Mishel Prada) hold compressions. When she does, Cyrus springs back to life. His assistant, Thomas (Varun Saranga), declares, “Oh my god, he did it! He beat death!”
A short while later, Oliver runs him through a series of tests and says he’s in pretty good shape. That is, considering he was dead for an hour this morning. Cyrus says he does ice baths to stimulate the vagus nerve, but this morning he was in it just a few minutes before everything went blank. He believes the cold shocked his heart into arrhythmia.
Cyrus brags about his penis, isn’t happy about a 119/78 blood pressure reading, and declares he’s on a no-sugar diet. Thomas confirms they’re obsessed with data, and his job is to monitor Cyrus’ body.
Cyrus is a biohacker, and Charlie explains they’re normally men obsessed with monitoring their bodies under the belief they can live forever. Dana corrects him and says women do it too, and biohackers want to increase their quality of life. As they talk, they’re munching on Halloween goodies—which biohackers would never do. Oliver realizes this and stops eating.
They need to figure out what happened to Cyrus in the first place.
Ericka spots Sam (Nabil Rajo) in the ER waiting room and he admits the holidays are lonely. That’s why he’s there.
Carol’s called in for a psych consult on a man dressed as a creepy clown. She refuses to handle the case. “I do not do clowns!” she says, backing away.
It turns out Josh was served because of Oliver’s case involving Sarah, the teenager who thought she was pregnant. Oliver ran dozens of tests to prove she wasn’t, and her parents don’t want to pay. Despite the dollar amount, Oliver believes it’s a win because he saved them the cost of therapy later. Plus, that was before he was told to rein in expenses.
After Josh leaves, Oliver thinks he sees the same dead patient he saw earlier standing behind the door.
Charlie and Dana report that Cyrus might just be the healthiest man in New York, so why did he pass out in his ice bath? However, his labs come back, and his hemoglobin is super high. Their conversation’s interrupted when Thomas nearly passes out in front of them while climbing the stairs. He manages to say something about blood and Cyrus.
Charlie and Oliver rush to Cyrus’ room and find Cyrus in the middle of a blood transfusion. The blood is Thomas’, which is why he fainted. They’re running tests on Thomas, and Oliver points out that whatever illness Thomas has could also affect Cyrus. But Cyrus doesn’t think so; he ran extensive background checks on Thomas before hiring him. His blood is perfect.
Oliver asks why he’s doing this, and Cyrus reveals he was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago. After he went into remission, he used all the energy he expended to fight the disease to optimize his body. Oliver warns him biohacking might have been what stopped his heart. Cyrus insists it’s what saved him.
Josh gathers Oliver’s team, and they admit to having enjoyed working on Sarah’s case. They’re giggly over it, and Josh cuts to the chase, listing all the tests they ran. Suddenly, Josh shuts up, leans over his desk, and spits out a tooth. Dana can’t stop herself from saying, “The curse!”
Charlie asks Thomas what he believes happened to Cyrus, and Thomas insists what he’s doing for Cyrus isn’t a sacrifice. Charlie points out all the things he’s missing and that he’ll regret not living his own life. He gets Thomas to admit that Cyrus is on a low dose of the immunosuppressant rapamycin.

Carol calls on Van to use his mirror touch to help with the clown that’s she’s terrified of. She finally admits she doesn’t need his mirror touch ability; she needs him to make sure she doesn’t get murdered.
The lights are off in the patient’s room, and they stand outside with a flashlight, calling out, “Hello.” The clown suddenly appears at the glass door, freaking them both out and making Carol run off. Van chases after Carol.
Cyrus is trying to get his steps in around the floor when he collapses, knocking a tray of syringes over. As he seizes, the syringes move toward his hand on their own. It turns out he has magnets in his fingers. He must have seized in the ice bath, but they still don’t know why. Oliver orders a contrast CT, since they can’t use an MRI when metal’s involved.
Ericka gives Sam a nurse’s lasagna and watches as he tells the voices in his head to shut up. She wants him to stay a few days, explaining he would be provided meals and get to talk to a psychiatrist. Sam agrees to think about it.
Oliver is shocked Carol’s scared of clowns, and she reminds him she’s not alone. He wonders how people overcome their traumas and reveals the backstory on the dead woman he’s been seeing. She was a patient who had headaches and confusion and was diagnosed with a grade three tumor in her frontal lobe. Oliver stayed on the case, and she always warned him not to go soft on her. She was determined to beat it. She died in the hospital on Halloween, and that still haunts him. He kicks himself for never asking her what the minimum quality of life was that she would accept.
Charlie brings Oliver the results of Cyrus’ scans and they aren’t good. Oliver breaks the news to Cyrus that he has a brain mass. Right now, they don’t know what it is. Cyrus is certain it’s cancer, but Oliver doesn’t know if that’s the case.
Ericka accompanies Sam into the elevator to go to the psych floor. She promises it’s not a scary place but also admits she doesn’t like enclosed spaces. Sam hears voices again and presses the emergency button, causing Erika to panic. She’s having trouble breathing, as Sam’s now in full meltdown mode too, banging on the door demanding to be let out.

Minutes later, Jacob finds Ericka shaking in the corner of the supply room. He sits next to her and she confesses she needs to get help. She admits she’s took pills from Dana to help with her anxiety. Her trip to the wellness center in Mexico was supposed to help, but it didn’t because she couldn’t tolerate going up to her room on the 10th floor. Instead, she went to a pharmacy and bought benzos without a prescription.
She’s been taking the benzos every day for weeks. Ericka wonders if she’s an addict, and Jacob thinks she’s being too hard on herself. Speaking as her friend, he thinks she needs help.
Oliver finds Josh in his office and immediately notices he’s been saging the room. He knows it’s because of the curse, and that’s also why Josh isn’t performing operations anymore. Josh admits that right now, he doesn’t have the unwavering certainty he needs to help his patients. Oliver says, “Curses, be damned,” and tells Josh to get back to doing what he does best.
Carol tackles her fears and enters the clown’s room alone, with Van watching through the door. The clown sings about a dead cat and laughs, and Carol hurries from the room. She thinks the clown murdered a cat and needs some serious help.
Ericka asks Carol for help with Sam, who’s now back in the ER waiting room. He holds his right ear and hears a voice saying not to trust her. Sam admits he’s hearing them and asks for help.
Oliver keeps hearing weird noises and enters a patient’s room. The dead patient from his past is lying on the bed and asks him not to let her die. Charlie interrupts the vision with news that Cyrus is out of surgery. Oliver informs Cyrus and Thomas that Cyrus is cancer free, however, he ingested a parasitic tapeworm, and it was living in his brain. It caused the seizures, and Cyrus admits he was on a raw meat diet and drank from the Fountain of Youth. The rapamycin made the infection worse.
Oliver’s worried that being a biohacker will lead to other conditions that he won’t be able to survive. Cyrus wants to change things, including no more Fountain of Youth water, and orders Thomas to make calls. And he wants Thomas to taste everything before he eats it. But Thomas is done with his boss and quits. He wants to enjoy life and eat cookies, or whatever else sounds like fun. Thomas wants to die happy and wants to keep his own blood.
Charlie asks if Oliver fears death, and Oliver grabs some munchies and admits that he doesn’t fear death for himself. He fears wasting his life. But he does fear death for his patients.
Oliver’s voiceover notes that every doctor has a graveyard with the patients they couldn’t save. These losses haunt doctors, like Josh’s loss of Benny.
Josh sits by Jorge’s bed and says, “I will stop worrying about curses, but I still need to believe in miracles.”
Oliver asks Carol about the clown, joking that he wasn’t the biggest clown she faced this year. She believes her clown fears are justified. However, she’s happy she worked on Halloween because she helped Sam. But she’s still bummed she didn’t go to a party.
Next, Brilliant Minds season two, episode six serves up a scene that’ll make every Trekkie ecstatic. Oliver brought costumes so they could go out as a couple. He’s dressed as Spock and Carol looks perfect as Uhura! They both smile as the elevator doors close. (For those who need a reminder: Zachary Quinto played Spock in 2009’s Star Trek, 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness, and 2016’s Star Trek Beyond.)
Episode six ends with Charlie seeing Oliver’s dead patient in his locker’s mirror. The scene shifts to Hudson Oaks four months later and Charlie takes a seat opposite a very shocked Oliver. Charlie asks what’s wrong and says, “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
