Summary
- Soto awaits promotion to captain, but is passed over
- Morgan meets an attractive stranger who turns out to be the new captain
- New captain, Nick Wagner, aims to help the department despite initial concerns

On October 7th, the latest episode of the popular ABC series "High Potential" aired, featuring a shakeup within the Major Crimes unit. Detective Soto had been eagerly awaiting a promotion to captain, but was ultimately passed over for the position. Her colleagues, including Morgan, Karadec, Daphne, and Oz, were preparing to adjust to the change in leadership.
As Morgan headed to the elevator, she crossed paths with an attractive stranger, Nick Wagner, who made a cryptic comment about "entering his house justified." When Morgan corrected him, saying the line was from the Bible, Wagner revealed he had been looking forward to meeting her, having heard about the Major Crimes unit's "secret weapon."
It soon became clear that Wagner was the department's new captain, set to take over the command floor. While his arrival initially caused some concern, as the show's star Howey explained, Wagner's "motives and intentions are not to [ruffle] feathers." Instead, the new captain aims to help the team and gain their trust, with the potential for an intriguing dynamic to develop between him and Morgan.
As the episode ended on a surprising note, viewers can expect to see more of Captain Wagner in the coming episodes, as he settles into his new role and works to integrate himself within the tight-knit Major Crimes unit.
