Malcolm Shiny (Tom Payne) is used to having an advanced private life; the person is the son of a serial killer for crying out loud! With regards to romance, although, this investigator appears to be fairly clueless. On this unique sneak peek of Monday’s new episode of Prodigal Son, titled “Stranger Beside You,” Malcolm catches up with Martin (Michael Sheen) over the telephone and, when prodded about why he hasn’t checked in additional all through his father’s restoration, Malcolm admits it is as a result of he is been tied up with some private commitments.
“I’ve simply been busy — dinners, performs,” Malcolm admits.
“Seems like dates,” Martin notes.
Instantly, Martin (very creepily) muses that it have to be Dani (Aurora Perrineau) who has captured Malcolm’s consideration, however that’s not the case. Because the official episode description teases, Malcolm is definitely set to reconnect together with his former flame Eve (Molly Griggs). No matter occurs with Eve, although, the preview reminds us that there is one other girl in Malcolm’s life whom he fully trusts, shares a peculiar fascination with the macabre with, and who has made no secret about her gnawing crush on him: Dr. Edrisa Tanaka (Keiko Agena). Oh, and he or she’s apparently able to play hero on his behalf if the state of affairs calls.
See, the crime of the week in Monday’s episode shall be a homicide at a sip-and-see occasion, and when the unopened champagne bottle lodged within the sufferer’s neck threatens to pop in Malcolm’s course, Edrisa actually jumps into motion to try to save him, albeit in ridiculous slow-mo fashion. Her Bodyguard tribute maneuver right here could also be a comedic overreaction, but it surely’s clear the place her coronary heart is. Eve may need had a tough time coping with Malcolm’s evening terrors, however we suspect Edrisa could be a bit extra understanding, and possibly even useful, if these two ever acquired collectively. Moreover, even when it did not work out between them, it isn’t just like the office may get any extra awkward and tense than it already is.
We’ll have to attend to see what occurs with Malcolm, Edrisa, Eve, and this newest murder on Prodigal Son‘s subsequent new episode.
Prodigal Son airs Mondays at 9/8c on Fox.
