Morgan already comes with a distinct level of wit; however, Aiden Turner’s Rhys will also be arriving with a layer of “quick-witted” demeanor, which might go hand in hand with Morgan’s. Rhys is an art recovery specialist in High Potential Season 2 and possesses “the tenacity of a prosecutor”.

His character already sounds intriguing. Along with his tenacious nature, Rhys’s “instincts” are nothing short of a seasoned detective. He “navigates” through the “world of stolen masterpieces” and will be bringing in a mix of unconventional touches to the overall storyline.

Aiden Turner’s character is joining midseason of High Potential Season 2, yet the intrigue surrounding his arrival is definitely at an all-time high. We will be able to see him on the upcoming episode, which will be dropping on October 28. Hailing from Dublin, Aiden Turner has worked in a multitude of movies and TV shows after joining the world of entertainment.

He even possesses a distinct talent for ballroom dancing besides acting. He even did many theater works, such as The Plough and the Stars, A Cry from Heaven, and many more. Some of Aiden Turner’s projects that can definitely be on your watchlist before you see him in High Potential Season 2 are Desperate Romantics, The Clinic, The Suspect, Fifteen-Love, Poldark, Love Is Blind, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot, and many more.

The sixth episode of High Potential Season 2 delivered several intriguing storylines, particularly surrounding the latest murder case. What initially appeared to be a straightforward investigation quickly took a mysterious turn when Morgan realized there was more to the old man’s death than met the eye, especially after witnesses claimed the victim had been chased by a ghost before he died.

At first, Morgan and Karadec approached the case with fear, suspecting a death linked to something sinister. As their investigation deepened, they uncovered more about the house’s history. It had once belonged to a famous actress, Maddie St. Croix, who had also died there. Haunted by her memory, the man living in the house feared her ghost and eventually sought help from a spiritual advisor named Calliope.

To help cleanse the house of any negative energy. Instead of helping the man and relieving his fears, Calliope poisoned him for an ulterior motive. As the house previously belonged to Maddie St. Croix, it also contained a secret room. In the secret room, a piece of her expensive ornament was found by the man.

He informed Calliope about it. To get her hands on the ornament, she began her elaborate planning. She used the man's trust for her benefit. She then switched out the man’s sleeping pills with potassium chloride. This eventually led to his death.

This episode of High Potential Season 2 perfectly captured the essence of the holiday season by combining it with the crime. Morgan’s keen observation skills came in handy once again.
