Wild Cards season 2 is nearing its conclusion, and with every new episode, the stakes get higher. The crime drama has discovered its sweet spot with a balance of suspenseful investigations and sizzling chemistry between its leads, Max Mitchell and Cole Ellis. Episode 11, titled Bride and Doom was another nail-biting ride. Max (Vanessa Morgan) and Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) embarked on a wedding-day whodunit after a bridesmaid unexpectedly passed away wearing the bride's dress.
What at first appeared to be a sad case of mistaken identity soon unraveled into a meticulously executed assault. With espionage, deceit, and a kidnapping involved, the pair worked against the clock to solve the case. The episode concludes with a tender but small wedding, but it leaves behind the suggestion of unresolved narratives, specifically regarding Ellis's history and Max's jailbird father.
Episode 12 threatens to explore both plotlines, paving the way for an explosive conclusion. You can watch the penultimate episode on April 23 at 8:00 p.m. ET on The CW.

Wild Cards season 2 episode 11 recap
In episode 11, Max and Ellis are pulled into a celebrity case when a bridesmaid fainted at a wedding, initially thought to be the bride. The wedding dress was later found to have been poisoned, and the wrong bride ultimately paid the price. They discovered a Wi-Fi jammer, used to jam surveillance, meaning that the attack had been planned ahead of time.
The actual target was the bride, Heather, who had previous associations with espionage. She was kidnapped by those seeking sensitive information, but was later rescued by Max and Ellis in a tense mission. Heather and her fiancé Joseph chose to proceed with a quiet wedding in a poignant conclusion.
