Paige: “When did you know she was dirty?”

DDKC: “I know my team. There’s no way you’re going along with an assassination plot.”

I love how Deputy Director Cooper knows the team so well and just blindly trusted that they knew what they were doing 🥹 Merrick couldn’t figure them out after a year and Molina underestimated them from the start

I love how Deputy Director Cooper is concerned about Paige having a sitter for her son. :’)

Merrick: You're on your own.

Molina: You're on your own.

Cooper: No man left behind! Call NATO!

Anyone else think that Collins was definitely in love with (or at least infatuated with) Walter before Walter had him committed? Like, the way Collins says he was Walter's favorite brain, he seems jealous of the rest of the team and the way Walter cares about them, the last time he saw Walter before being committed being the password that allowed them to be able to stop the nuclear meltdown in the episode we meet him, at the end of Toby or Not Toby the way he talks to Walter especially the smile at "we did inspired work" recalling how they spent time together and how the time he's referring to he opened up to Walter about the only time he's ever felt accepted.

The way he acts towards Walter and Scorpion as a whole feels like a jealous ex trying to get back at walter

okay going in again on gilladec's gala conversation bc it's like. 2 smart people being terrible communicators is just SO.

what karadec thinks he's communicating: i value u and care about u and ur so so so smart but also i would never forgive myself if u got hurt bc i ignored my gut

what morgan is hearing: i know we've come a long way and u have been really helpful but at the end of the day i have to take the reins on this bc i don't trust that u actually know what ur doing.

Daphne: this is my boyfriend Oz, and this is Oz's boyfriend Karadec, and this is Karadec's girlfriend Morgan, and this is Morgan's girlfriend Soto-

"Get some rest detective."

"You too, consulant"

OH COME ON

[booknerdinglasses]

THAT SCENE WHEN SHE PRETENDS TO BE HIS WIFE AND THE KIDS ARE HIS WAS 10/1000

and the fact that kids wanted to eat his food and he just lets them *CRYING* I need more kid and karadec interactions!!!

*FERAL NOISES*

imagen that karadec is undercover and sees morgan and her kiddos and he has to pretend to be the dad and husband and the kids are a little too into it *crying* Ava calls him dad and asks for 50 bucks

HIGH POTENTIAL 1.12 • Partners

[booknerdinglasses]

Honestly, I am cannot wait for when High Potential does a "My partner got kidnapped!" episode, because it is going to be an absolutely insane time.

If Morgan is Kidnapped:

Level-headed Karadec losing every last bit of calm and control as he becomes desperate to find her.

Morgan being called Karadec's "weakness"/Karadec being told caring for Morgan makes him "vulnerable".

Karadec immediately developing the world's largest guilt complex bc protecting Morgan is HIS responsibility. Bonus if the kidnapper is someone from Karadec's past seeking revenge, who purposefully targeted Morgan to hurt him.

If Karadec is Kidnapped:

Oh, you thought Morgan was chaotic BEFORE? Now she's essentially a hurricane compressed into a laser, pointed at one thing only - getting Karadec back. She is going to hit you harder than anything you ever thought possible (figuratively and literally).

Soto sending Morgan home (with police protection) bc she doesn't want Morgan to get kidnapped too. so Morgan privately investigates Karadec's disappearance, without the police knowing.

Morgan figuring out where Karadec is, arriving first on the scene, and refusing to wait for back-up before running in to try and save Karadec.

Bonus Tropes for Either Scenario:

Being used as bait to lure in the other. And the other knowing they're walking into a trap but doing it anyway.

Kidnapper massively underestimating Morgan, whether she's the hostage or the rescuer. The kidnapper thinks she's just Karadec's pretty partner that occasionally makes observations or spouts facts, rather than seeing the fully intelligent, cunning, and tough as nails person she is.

The person kidnapped being certain their partner will find them.

Soto's blood pressure spiking through the roof.

I love High Potential as a whole but especially for their portrayal of family.

Morgan having such a healthy relationship with her ex (Ludo, I love you so much), him being there for her and the kids, and loving all three kids equally is so refreshing to see.

They could've easily gone the "my ex is a douche" route but they didn't. They give us all these wholesome family scenes every week.
