Recap of Wild Cards season 2 episode 7
The last episode saw one of the most dramatic moments of the season, with the Metro Police Department in utter disarray after Chief Li stumbled upon a live bomb taped under his seat. Ellis began the day getting ready for his performance evaluation, but matters took a quick turn when a mysterious hacker shut down all communications and issued a $10 million ransom payment, warning to blow up the bomb if they did not comply.
Ellis, Detective Simmons, and Commander Sanders were in charge of the evacuation, but Max, not knowing about the crisis, was stuck inside with Li. With the countdown running out, the team learned that the suspect had disguised himself as a janitor to gain entry into the building, while Ellis attempted to negotiate with the bomber.
Max, inside, came face to face with Jin, who was a one-time Crimson Vipers gangster and an acquaintance of Li. The big twist was that Li was once connected with the gang and Jin wanted revenge for what Li claimed to be an accident. The showdown turned ugly when it was discovered that Jin's smartwatch was linked to the detonator of the bomb so that any fluctuation in his vitals would activate it.
With time running out, Ellis and the tactical team had to make a tough choice—whether to obey Jin's ultimatum or try a last-ditch rescue. The episode concluded with a high-intensity showdown, with the future of Max, Li, and the entire department left hanging in the balance.
With Wild Cards season 2, Episode 8, turning attention from explosive peril to a high-stakes murder in the fashion industry, viewers can look forward to a tense and suspenseful investigation.
