It appears to be like like Jessica Whitly’s (Bellamy Young) style in males has not improved one bit on Prodigal Son. In an unique sneak peek at Monday’s new penultimate episode of the season, titled “The Professionals,” we as soon as once more see the mysterious Nicholas Endicott (visitor star Dermot Mulroney) saunter into the image, however this time, the circumstances are very totally different. Awkward, even.
Within the clip, Nicholas by chance walks in on household breakfast with Malcolm (Tom Payne) and Ainsley (Halston Sage) whereas nonetheless wearing his tuxedo from the night time earlier than. As a substitute of being embarrassed, although, Nicholas quips, “Sorry to be intruding. It is your mom’s fault for making such a rattling good martini. Do not inform your mom I crashed your celebration. I promised I would be discreet.”
As savvy a profiler as Malcolm is, he is surprisingly unbothered by Nicholas — or his newfound romance together with his mom for that matter — and responds to the scenario with a easy, “Technique to go, Mother?” after Nicholas leaves.
Ainsley has a keener learn on Nicholas, although, and notes that her analysis on his pharmaceutical firm has given her pause about her mother’s new beau. From everything we know about the new character so far, her suspicions could also be justified.

To be honest, Malcolm is perhaps coping with a case of cut up focus on this second. Because the preview continues, we study that he has simply been dumped by Eve (Molly Griggs), by voicemail no much less. As nosy sisters do, Ainsley calls for to listen to this message for herself, and Malcolm complies. It is then that we study Eve has determined to deal with enterprise on her personal, which we suspect has one thing to do with what Martin (Michael Sheen) informed her about her lacking sister. One way or the other, we simply cannot see Malcolm staying away from Eve and her sister — the long-fabled “woman within the field” — for too lengthy.
“The Professionals,” which is the second-to-last episode of Prodigal Son‘s first season, is predicted to characteristic a catastrophic flip of occasions that convinces Malcolm and Ainsley that Nicholas Endicott is dangerous information. Their solely hope of attending to the underside of it might be to stage a full-on Whitly reunion. We’ll discover out quickly sufficient when Prodigal Son returns on Monday night.
