The murder investigation in High Potential Episode 9
High Potential episode 9 begins with Morgan reaching the crime scene where Marvin Price has been killed. She is accompanied by her daughter due to Ludo's unavailability. The initial investigation reveals that Marvin was hit by a car twice, suggesting foul play. Witnesses provided limited information, noting that the car had a loud engine.
Morgan uses her skills to analyze tire tracks and paint scraps found at the scene, identifying the vehicle as a blue Jensen Interceptor. This crucial detail leads the team to further investigate the local ownership of such cars. As the investigation unfolds, Daphne and Oz find a witness who had been collecting cans near the scene.
He adds more detail about the car that was used in the incident. Meanwhile, Morgan deduces that the killer must have hidden the car in a nearby parking garage. This breaks the case open when they find a damaged Jensen Interceptor without plates, which confirms their suspicion of its involvement in Marvin's death.
Morgan's determination shines through as she interviews Marvin's family and friends in piecing together his last days. She finds out about the strained relationship he had with his son, Dexter, who feels overshadowed by his father's fame. This emotional backdrop adds depth to the investigation as it becomes clear that family dynamics play a significant role in understanding Marvin's murder.
The team also learns that Marvin had received threats during the weeks preceding his death. A former colleague discloses that Marvin was part of a highly controversial sports scandal that might have made someone target him for violence.
As Morgan makes these connections, she concludes that Marvin's murder is not an act of senseless violence but has roots in personal vendettas and unresolved conflicts.
Unraveling personal connections
As Morgan continues her inquiry, she realizes Marvin's son, Dexter, is intricately connected to this case. In this episode, the emotional heaviness of having lost a father resonates in a deep sense since both Karadec and Dexter have to fight with their losses.
High Potential episode 9 highlights that Karadec had personally enjoyed Marvin's broadcasting as those particular moments changed the relationship he was carrying with his father. The plot thickens when Morgan discovers that Marvin had intended to change his will shortly before his death.
It also turns out that Marvin's girlfriend, Tiana, and a mechanic named Olivier Debois had conspired together after he caught them with each other. They planned on killing him to garner financial gain on his estate. Morgan confronts Dexter about his relationship with Tiana and whether he knows about their plans.
Dexter is visibly shaken and denies any involvement but admits he had seen them arguing recently over money matters. In a dramatic twist, Morgan finds evidence linking Tiana directly to the crime scene through text messages exchanged with Olivier on the night of Marvin's death.
These messages reveal their plan to confront Marvin about his will changes, escalating into violence when he refuses to comply with their demands. The emotional stakes rise as Morgan realizes that Dexter may have lost not only his father but also his chance at justice due to those he trusted most.
The connection to Roman
Aside from the murder case, High Potential episode 9 has made major steps in resolving the mystery surrounding Roman's disappearance. Morgan took time off from investigating Marvin's death to meet with Gio, a person connected to Roman's past. This subplot further develops the character of Roman and his involvement in criminal activities that could endanger Morgan and her family.
Towards the end of High Potential episode 9, Gio reveals that he knew Roman and drops some hints of closer relationships between the two by making use of an acronym—"RAMs," as in Roman, Ava (Morgan's daughter), and Morgan, too.
Gio also explains to her that Roman had been involved in shady dealings before he vanished, suggesting people might be out looking for him or even trying to seek revenge for his previous actions.
High Potential episode 9 ends by showing an extremely dramatic scene that depicts Morgan having received an anonymous message that indirectly tells her of Roman's whereabouts and asks her to leave him behind.
