What happened in High Potential episode 7?
In High Potential episode 7, called One of Us, Morgan Gillory faces a thrilling crisis as she struggles to balance her professional life with her life as a mother.
The episode starts with Morgan's daughter, Ava, coming to her workplace for a "yes day." However, things take a dark turn when two armed individuals, Brooke Kirkman and Jeremy Davis, take several officers hostage at the LAPD station.
The hostage-takers demand a re-investigation into the murder case of Army officer Frances Webber, believing that the accused, Logan Hanson, is innocent. As tension builds, Morgan uses her detective sense to dig up the details of Webber's murder.
She finds out that Logan is not the murderer and that the killer is Benjamin, who was an Army officer with addiction problems. Benjamin murdered Frances so her struggles with the report would not scandalize his career. During the hostage crisis, Morgan comes to suspect that the bombs Brooke is carrying are duds because of what she has surmised from Brooke's pregnancy.
This information proves to be correct when Brooke confesses that the threats were not real; Morgan and the SWAT team then acted more aggressively against the hostage-takers without fear of an explosion. The episode also explores Morgan's relationship with Ava, showing their emotional connection at this point in the crisis.
Tom, the precinct janitor, also plays a significant role in diverting attention away from Morgan and Ava, indicating possible romantic entanglements between him and Morgan.
The episode ends with major revelations regarding Webber's murder, strengthening character bonds amidst the chaos. It also leaves viewers with a sense of resolution regarding Logan's innocence while setting up future character dynamics and storylines for subsequent episodes.
