Morgan will continue utilizing her skills as an HPI (high potential intellectual) while working with Karadec, Soto, Oz, andDaphne inHigh Potentialseason 2.

Morgan Maintaining Her Role With The LAPD Suggests That Her Reunion With Roman Won’t Go Smoothly
Morgan Is Only Working With The LAPD To Find Roman
WhenHigh Potentialpremiered, one of Morgan’s biggest motivations for agreeing to work with the LAPD was her deal with Soto. She wanted Soto to look into Roman’s case, and in exchange, she would help her and her team. Essentially,Morgan took the job in exchange for help in finding Romanand discovering what happened to him 15 years ago.
Ultimately, Morgan continuing to work with Karadec and co. implies that either she doesn’t reunite with Roman or that she does and is disappointed.
If Morgan’s questions get answers, there would be no point (at least, on paper) for her to continue consulting. So, the fact thatKaitlin Olson’sHigh Potentialcharacteris still solving cases with the LAPD in season 2 indicates that the fallout of Karadec’s discovery isn’t good. The detective might know where Roman is, but thatdoesn’t mean the premiere will open with Morgan and Roman driving off into the sunset together.
Even if Morgan findsRoman inHigh Potentialseason 2, their issues won’t be magically solved. He disappeared and has been missing for 15 years for a reason. If Roman returns, he has a lot of explaining to do, and Morgan might not like his excuses. Ultimately, Morgan continuing to work with Karadec and co. implies that either she doesn’t reunite with Roman or that she does and is disappointed.
