Ep 2. Look Before You Leap

Dr. Henry Morgan is back with another case to solve in the second episode of the series. In "Look Before You Leap," he teams up with his partner, Detective Jo Martinez, as they investigate a case involving a wealthy businessman who has died in mysterious circumstances.

The opening scene sets the tone for the episode as Dr. Morgan and Detective Martinez arrive at the crime scene of the wealthy business magnate, whose body has been found on the floor of his penthouse apartment. While the cause of death appears to be a simple heart attack, there are several clues that suggest a more sinister explanation.

As Dr. Morgan begins his investigation, he discovers a series of anomalies that suggest something more than natural causes at work. These include a mysterious mark on the victim's wrist, a strange odor in the room, and the presence of a rare poison that should not be found in New York City.

Meanwhile, Detective Martinez is trying to piece together the timeline of the victim's last few days. She learns that the victim had recently fired his son from their family business and had been involved in a contentious fight with his wife. These clues lead her to suspect that there may be a familial motive behind the victim's death, but she cannot make any arrests until Dr. Morgan solves the case.

Throughout the episode, there are several red herrings and twists that keep the audience guessing. Dr. Morgan uses his vast knowledge of medical science and history to uncover clues that other investigators would miss, such as the fact that the poison found at the scene is similar to one used by ancient Greek assassins.

As the investigation progresses, Dr. Morgan's relationship with Detective Martinez grows stronger. She begins to appreciate his unique insights and the attention to detail that he brings to the case. Although a friendship is starting to develop, both characters remain very professional and focused on catching the killer.

With the help of a few well-placed flashbacks, the audience learns more about Dr. Morgan's past. In particular, we see him go through a harrowing experience during World War II, adding depth and complexity to his character.

As the episode reaches its conclusion, Dr. Morgan uncovers the truth behind the victim's death, and the suspect is finally brought to justice. The resolution leaves the audience feeling satisfied and provides an opportunity for Dr. Morgan and Detective Martinez to reflect on the case.

Overall, the second episode of Forever is a strong continuation of the series. The pacing is excellent, and the use of flashbacks helps provide insight into the central character's backstory. The relationship between Dr. Morgan and Detective Martinez is nicely developed, and the chemistry between the actors is starting to shine. The episode also leaves several intriguing questions that will undoubtedly be explored further in future episodes.
