In this case, Morgan finally got into some hot and heavy kissing and clothes-removing with guest star Aiden Turner&#8217;s new character Rhys. The lip-locking did not seem inevitable, given that Rhys&#8217; ego is as sizable as Morgan&#8217;s memory banks, but that shift made more sense once Morgan realized Rhys might be the villainous art thief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Turner spoke with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/10\/high-potential-aiden-turner-rhys-morgan-fall-love-two-part-1236603530\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Deadline;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Deadline<\/a> about joining the show in such an esteemed role for an action-packed episode, and he pointed out that he and his significant other were already big fans, making it a no-brainer for him to agree to the role. Being a fan, he wanted to bring the kind of authenticity that he hopes fans were looking for. In his words:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I definitely wanted to make it look good, seem real, and give the fans basically what hopefully they\u2019ve been looking for. You know, after 16 episodes, she hasn\u2019t\u2014she\u2019s got close to having a romance. And I feel like, within the show, you kind of see her longing for a good man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Morgan seemed to be going in the right direction before she <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/welp-kaitlin-olsons-high-potential-203742839.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:broke it off with JD Pardo\u2019s Tom;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">broke it off with JD Pardo\u2019s Tom<\/a> due to a lack of attention, and then the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/im-sad-kaitlin-olsons-high-140828770.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:actor later left the show altogether to take a new role;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">actor later left the show altogether to take a new role<\/a>. A lot of fans want her and Keradec to end up together, but I&#8217;m not one of those fans. At least not this early in the series, since they&#8217;d likely need to stay together to not completely shatter the work dynamic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Which isn&#8217;t to say I&#8217;m 100% on board with Morgan making a thing out of a fling with Rhys, but I can warm up to it. Especially since the actor himself also wants it to appear as real as can be within the context of the show.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, I felt like it was a big compliment for me to be the man that was lucky enough to win the audition and to be lucky enough to be on the show with such good writers and a great director, and such a great talent like Kaitlin Olson. And so I really didn\u2019t want to screw it up. So, I really worked hard on trying to make it as authentic and as real as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If Aiden Turner worked that hard to make it real, then one would assume that <em>High Potential<\/em> wouldn&#8217;t just burn that bridge by having him actually be the LAPD&#8217;s target. Morgan second-guessed everything when she saw the scar on his back, but since the episode ended. before any real accusations could be thrown around, does that mean he&#8217;s actually innocent?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Morgan and Turner making out in High Potential Season 2 winter finale\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Yx5WSr4ygua1gunHx_U2lw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/1447ff0e8fd43dca92ff6cda36212b25\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Disney+<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Showrunner Todd Harthan told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvline.com\/2017042\/high-potential-guest-star-aiden-turner-happy-eye-candy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TVLine;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TVLine<\/a> that could very well be the case, although he also doesn&#8217;t say anything with 100% certainty, and teases more unknowns are on the way, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just because he has a scar, that doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;s the guy, you don&#8217;t know!
