Where to Watch “High Potential”
For audiences in the United States, “High Potential” follows a weekly release pattern. New episodes premiere on the ABC television network and are available for streaming the following day on Hulu.
International viewers can watch the series on Disney+, where new episodes also appear shortly after their U.S. broadcast. Each episode has a runtime of approximately 44 to 46 minutes, and subtitles are available on the streaming platforms.
Story Details of Episode 4: “Behind the Music”
The fourth episode of the season, “Behind the Music,” presented a new case for Morgan and the LAPD. The team investigated the murder of a local singer, which unexpectedly uncovered details connected to a decades-old cold case. Morgan’s unique observational skills were key in linking the clues from the present crime to the past unsolved mystery.
A significant development in this episode was the arrival of a new character, Captain Nick Wagner, played by Steve Howey. He joins the cast after the team’s former leader, Soto, was passed over for the promotion. This creates a new dynamic within the department, especially for Soto, who has to manage her disappointment while supporting her team.
In a post-episode interview, actress Judy Reyes, who plays Soto, shared her character’s perspective on not getting the promotion.
“It’s really hard, isn’t it? And then she has to put up with all that comes with this new person, this individual who is so attracted to what she’s built that he just wants to inject himself into it. That creates a lot of issues for her.”
Reyes also confirmed that the new captain’s presence will continue to be felt, noting, “He and Karadec develop a powerful working relationship, and of course he and Morgan are going to clash.”
The Ongoing Mystery of Roman
Beyond the weekly cases, the larger personal story for Morgan involves her ex-husband, Roman. Previously believed to be dead, the discovery that he is alive has turned Morgan’s world upside down. This storyline continues to unfold in the background of the season. Judy Reyes teased that upcoming episodes will deliver major developments, saying, “I can’t wait for you to see the next few episodes. Your mouth is going to hang open.”
