Although, as great as the whole team is, it\u2019s the Morgan and Karadec show at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>One unexpected treat in High Potential has been watching Morgan and Karadec\u2019s relationship develop.

Since \u201cDancers in the Dark,\u201d those instances have become few and far between.<\/p>\n<p>However, this episode was the worst moment for the now very close partners. This was worse than the bartender incident because that was a misstep, whereas this was a full-on explosion of tempers.<\/p>\n<p>Some viewers may recall that Morgan and Karadec reached a boiling point during a screaming match while working the case of the tap-dancing mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>Karadec was yelling, and Morgan quit on the spot for the second time. Of course, that didn\u2019t faze Captain Selena (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvfanatic.com\/stars\/judy-reyes\/\">Judy Reyes<\/a>). When Karadec told Selena Morgan had quit, the captain didn\u2019t miss a beat when she replied, \u201cNo, she didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The captain may not be in every episode, but she doesn\u2019t miss a thing.

Hell, a lot of parents even stay friends after. It took a while, but TV is finally catching up to life.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a great example of this in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvfanatic.com\/shows\/matlock\/\">Matlock<\/a> with the characters Olympia and Julian.
