"The ABC series, titled High Potential, focuses on Morgan Gillory, a single mom with three kids and a high intellectual potential. Played by Kaitlin Olsen, she helps the Los Angeles police department solve its most difficult crime cases as a cleaning lady turned private consultant. This year's midseason finale, titled "The One that Got Away," finds Morgan and her partner detective Adam Karadec investigating a museum heist involving the $20 million Rembrandt painting Young Girl Leaning on a Windowsill."
"During the show's robbery, a thief repels into the museum on a rope through a skylight, cutting through the glass and disabling security cameras with a laser before setting off a smoke bomb and escaping. Partnering with the possibly dubious art-recovery specialist Rhys Eastman, Morgan discovers that the stolen canvas was at the center of a fierce ownership battle because it was looted by the Nazis."
