What to expect in High Potential Season 2 Episode 12?

In the previous episode of High Potential Season 2, the Major Crime Division investigates the murder of a former professional gamer, Declan. He was killed after he ran into the traffic, trying to get away from some unknown creature. Morgan will deduce that he was poisoned. Upon looking into his past, the team discovers that Declan had given up gaming after his developer friend confronted him about his addiction and pushed him to seek help.

However, a month ago Declan got back to gaming. He was especially good at a Battle Dynasty, where he repeatedly killed a character called Drednog, who threatened to kill him real life with puffer fish poison. The team also discovered a huge amount of cryptocurrency on his laptop.

Upon further investigation, the team finds a restaurant close by where there is a sushi chef, who is certified to remove puffer fish poison. They also learn about his twin sons, one of whom, Ryo, is a gamer. A DNA test will find Ryo’s blood on the delivery food that was found at Declan’s house. The team comes upon a shocking connection between the father and Declan. The father had got in touch with Declan to kill his son’s character in the game, as he was worried about his addiction. But Ryo took it too far and poisoned Declan. The father and son will then come up with a plan and create a fake twin brother act, but fail to convince the team.

Meanwhile, Detective Karadec will meet his ex-fiancée, Lucia. They had called off their engagement in the past due to his highly demanding job. He reconnects with her. Morgan and Selena will insist that he give the relationship a chance, which he does at the end. However, it looks like Morgan may have some lingering feelings. This could be one of the narratives that we will see develop through the season
