Viewers finally got the full scoop on the mystery woman joining the cast of High Potential. When ABC first announced Susan Kelechi Watson’s casting, they kept mum on the character’s name, and now it’s clear why. Watson made her debut on January 27 not as a random arrival, but as Lucia—the very same ex-fiancée Karadec mentioned last season. She’s back in Los Angeles after a stint in Santa Fe, and perhaps most importantly for the plot, she is currently single.
The reunion wasn’t immediately smooth sailing. Despite obviously carrying a torch for her, Karadec seemed keen to pump the brakes, worrying he hadn’t evolved enough since they called it quits five years ago. It took a nudge from Soto to set him straight. She pointed out that with Morgan on the team, his work-life balance has actually improved, so there’s no reason not to give it a go. It was a nice moment that also shed a bit of light on Soto’s own life, revealing she’s got two daughters and an ex-husband named Hector, details the show hadn’t previously explored.
The Morgan Equation
By the end of the episode, Lucia had picked Karadec up for a proper date, with Morgan sending them off with well-wishes. However, in classic High Potential fashion, things aren’t quite that simple. As they left, Morgan cast a look that seemed distinctly wistful, sparking plenty of chatter among fans. Watson, speaking to TVLine, touched on the unique position of joining an established hit. She noted that unlike other gigs where people might not be tuning in, the fanbase here is massive and vocal. She described Lucia as the “fun one,” a contrast to Karadec’s logical approach—she’s the sort who knows the best party spots and hotels, effectively sandwiching Karadec between two women who are far more adventurous than he is. regarding that lingering look from Morgan, Watson reckons it’s intentional, suggesting a “vibe” between the partners that goes beyond friendship.
