The Hunting Party began with a bang and left audiences with many questions, mainly about who initiated a prison break of the world\u2019s most dangerous criminals.<\/p>\n

While the government wants everyone to think it was an accidental gas leak, Bex and her team have their doubts. <\/p>\n

Spoilers for The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 2 tease that Bex\u2019s alliances are tested during an intense manhunt for Clayton Jessup.<\/p>\n

This episode also reveals more details about Bex\u2019s past and why she chose this type of career, including the case she witnessed as a teenager.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Jennifer Morales (Sara Garcia) appears for the first time, so we look forward to seeing how she interacts with the others.<\/p>\n

Bex Questions Her Alliances When Hunting the Latest Deranged Killer<\/h2>\n

Bex doesn\u2019t know who to trust after Oliver reveals that he thought the prison break wasn\u2019t accidental in the cliffhanger of The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Bex questions everyone as they hunt for the killer of the week, Clayton Jessup, who is obsessed with murdering happy families and is looking for his next target.<\/p>\n

Since Bex profiles the killers, she\u2019ll likely discern what personality disorder Jessup has or if he suffered any childhood trauma that motivates him to harm only happy families.<\/p>\n

As someone who studied psychology, a serial killer that only kills happy families intrigues me. <\/p>\n

Perhaps Clayton Jessup longed for a happy and loving family but never had one. The motivation sounds more complex than some violent killers.<\/p>\n

So far, the team generally finds their best clues whenever the killer goes off-track with their usual methods, so this one will likely be similar. Either that, or he\u2019ll escalate something even more dangerous.<\/p>\n

Each episode continues to be titled after the killer of the week and focuses mainly on that while also dealing with Bex\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been frustrating for Bex because she wants to solve the cases, but Jacob and Shane only share limited information about the Pit and the prisoners with her.<\/p>\n

It feels like everyone has a secret, which is another theory we\u2019ll discuss a bit later.<\/p>\n

Sara Garcia Debuts as Jennifer Morales<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m unsure why Sara Garcia<\/a> didn\u2019t appear in the premiere. In this episode, she first appears as Intel officer Jennifer Morales.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to see Garcia back on screen. After starring in Hallmark\u2019s Ride, she\u2019s proven adept at handling layered emotional performances.<\/p>\n

While this is a different role, seeing her and Melissa Roxburgh together will be fantastic.<\/p>\n

From the spoiler photos, it looks like Officer Morales gathers more research on base with Oliver while Bex, Shane, and Jacob do the fieldwork.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, we\u2019ll see her interact with Bex more, too, since both women seem intelligent, feisty, and have a painful past.<\/p>\n

Procedurals<\/a> only work when interpersonal relationships thrive, and not only romantic ones. Team dynamics and friendships are often the most essential parts of a series.<\/p>\n

Bex Faces a Painful Past in The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 2<\/h2>\n

Additional spoilers tease that flashbacks of Bex\u2019s past reveal why she chose this career.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Bex told Shane she acted like \u201cNancy Drew\u201d as a teenager and discovered her best friend\u2019s father was a serial killer.<\/p>\n

Naturally, that traumatized her, so they\u2019ll likely expand more on that since it motivated Bex to become an FBI agent.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, we\u2019ll see some flashbacks and Bex opening up about that night. She looks pretty distant, but it will tell more about who she trusts and confides in.<\/p>\n

So far, she\u2019s confided the most in Shane since he seems the easiest to talk to. Will that continue?<\/p>\n

With all the prisoners disappearing, Bex may also worry about her friend\u2019s father striking again since there was no exact prisoner list at the Pit. <\/p>\n

Can she trust any of the men to inform her honestly about his whereabouts?<\/p>\n

The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 2 Hints at More Mysteries<\/h2>\n

While The Hunting Party<\/a> is a procedural, it brings viewers back with its\u2019 many unanswered questions, beginning with the Pit\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n

Who created it, why were they doing these experiments, and where did they find these therapists to treat these hardened criminals?<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
( David Astorga\/NBC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Beyond that, we have questions about how much Jacob, Shane, and Oliver knew about the Pit and even the prison break.<\/p>\n

It seems like every character has buried secrets that could affect their career and relationships, which makes this series even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Bex has already formed relationships with all three men but doesn\u2019t fully trust them because she\u2019s been burned before and doesn\u2019t let people in easily.<\/p>\n

Besides Bex\u2019s early cases, the series still has not revealed why Bex was sidelined by the FBI. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s a mystery in itself.<\/p>\n
