‘High Potential’ Boss Todd Harthan Breaks Down Morgan’s Candid Moment With Karadec

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for High Potential Season 2 Episode 9, “Under the Rug.”]

High Potential‘s latest episode, “Under the Rug,” may have explored a crooked murder-for-hire plot involving a businessman played by Keith Carradine, but the installment also put Morgan’s (Kaitlin Olson) love life under a microscope, particularly when it comes to her son Elliott’s (Matthew Lamb) outlook, and her growing connection with partner Karadec (Daniel Sunjata).

The episode opens with Morgan receiving flowers from Rhys (Aiden Turner), the art dealer and moral criminal with whom she had a brief but steamy exchange in the past couple of episodes. While we don’t anticipate Rhys returning to screens, showrunner Todd Harthan says, “You never know in this wonderful High Potential world what’s going to happen.”

“Usually, any question anybody ever asks me about Morgan and Karadec or Morgan and Wagner, it’s hard to read into people’s motivations or what they’re thinking. And I love that. I like to keep the audience guessing,” Harthan continues about Morgan’s love life. “And I think in this respect, those flowers could mean so many different things. It could just be a simple thank you. It could be a, ‘Hey, thank you. Let’s do it again.’”
