In the third episode of Alphas season one, titled "Anger Management," the team is tasked with investigating a spree of seemingly random acts of violence in a New York City neighborhood. As they begin to delve into the case, they realize that the perpetrator may be an Alpha with the ability to manipulate emotions and incite aggression in others.
Meanwhile, Dr. Rosen (played by David Strathairn) continues to navigate the politics of working with the government agency that oversees the team, known as the Strategic Response Unit (SRU). He meets with the head of the SRU, Agent Sullivan (played by Valerie Cruz), who expresses concern about the team's abilities and their potential for causing harm.
Back in the field, the team members begin to experience their own emotional struggles as they try to track down the Alpha responsible for the attacks. Bill (played by Malik Yoba) grapples with his own anger issues, while Rachel (played by Azita Ghanizada) struggles with feelings of guilt and insecurity.
As the investigation progresses, the team discovers that the Alpha responsible for the attacks may have a personal vendetta against one of their own. With tensions running high and the threat of violence escalating, the team must work together to stop the Alpha before it's too late.
"Anger Management" is a tense and emotionally charged episode, exploring themes of trauma, control, and the dangers of unchecked power. The storyline is further propelled by strong performances from the cast, particularly Yoba and Ghanizada, who bring depth and complexity to their characters' struggles. Overall, the episode is a compelling addition to the first season of Alphas, highlighting both the individual strengths and collective vulnerabilities of the team.
