A brief recap of High Card Season 2 Episode 4
Due to the recent attack on Pinochle’s main branch, High Card was suspended indefinitely, with the President missing. Finn decided to head to the Old Maid branch and he encountered Norman “King” Kingstat there, which utterly incensed him. Eventually, Bernard revealed that King and Theodore go way back, as they were friends once.
Bernard further revealed that both Theodore and Ban worked as partners to retrieve all the cards for the Royal Family, making sure that no one used its powers for their own benefit. Although the two have starkly contrasting personalities and perspectives, they get along pretty well and work in harmony by looking out for each other.
However, things eventually turned bitter between them after an incident, causing Ban to go his separate way. Somewhere at a ramshackle building, Ban held Theodore as a prisoner and despised him for often becoming a roadblock on his path.
The former revealed to the latter that during the coronation, he would destroy “The Joker” card, which had the ability to nullify the powers of all cards around its vicinity. Before leaving, Ban told Theodore that his actual goal was to use the X-Playing cards as he wished, without someone interfering with his choices.
Elsewhere, Sugar was relieved to see that Captain Young was back from the hospital. Upon asking about a picture she found of him, Theodore, and Ban from when they were young, Young revealed to Sugar that he had a pact with the other two regarding the mysterious X-Playing cards.
Young further said that he received intel regarding the cases involving the X-Playing Cards in return for exchanging intel on Players. Although he knew that he was going against the agreement, he gave Sugar a free hand to do her own investigation.
What to expect from High Card Season 2 Episode 5
High Card Season 2 Episode 5 will likely see Ban intruding on the Coronation by instigating yet another terrorist attack on the royal family. Although he indeed has no specific goals, he has one, which is about destroying the X-Playing card “The Joker.” Given that the cards are indestructible, Ban will use “San Galgano,” aka The God-Killer, a unique card that can destroy other cards.
Stay tuned for more news and updates on High Card Season 2 as 2024 progresses.
