Don’t Miss High Potential Season 2 Episode 12: Release Date, Time, and Where to Watch

Quick heads up for anyone keeping up with ABC's High Potential: the next one is around the corner, and yes, the episode title is exactly the kind of groan-worthy pun you think it is.

Release details

Season 2, Episode 12 is called 'The Faust and the Furious' — a cheeky riff on The Fast and the Furious — and it lands on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Here is when it hits live TV in the U.S.:

• 10:00 p.m. ET on ABC (February 3, 2026)
• 7:00 p.m. PT on ABC (February 3, 2026)

If you are streaming, it will show up on Hulu the next day. ABC is one of the big broadcast networks and, like Hulu, it sits under Disney's umbrella.

Previously on High Potential

Last week’s episode, 'NPC', had Morgan and the LAPD digging into the murder of a former esports star — a nice change-up from the usual suspects — while Karadec crossed paths with a woman from his past, which could complicate things going forward. File that under personal-life subplots that might boomerang back at the worst possible time.

What the show is

If you are new here, the gist: Morgan Gillory is a single mom with an IQ of 160 — a high potential intellectual, or HPI — who consults for the LAPD's Major Crimes Division. She solves cases by zigging where everyone else zags, and the department just tries to keep up.

'Morgan is a single mom with an exceptional mind, whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual and unstoppable partnership with a by-the-book seasoned detective.'

Why this episode might pop

The title suggests a moral bargain meets pedal-to-the-metal case-of-the-week, which feels very on brand for this show: brainy puzzles wrapped in crowd-pleasing packaging. We will see how Faustian it gets — and whether Karadec's past complicates the present at exactly the wrong moment.
