Sarah Fields Previews, The Irrational

The team is Vegas-bound on The Irrational Season 1 Episode 5, “Lucky Charms.”

Alec’s trip to Sin City comes after he gets a call from Camille, a former colleague who left the life of an academic to become a professional poker player.

When she finds herself caught up in a dangerous situation related to her new career, she turns to her old mentor for help.

An episode in Vegas promises to be a fun one. The city is a treasure trove of irrational behavior and bad choices. Letting this team of behavioral scientists loose in the environment is akin to kids in a candy store. 

Plus, making things even more fun, Kylie joins Alec on the trip to Vegas. Spending more time with Kylie is definitely something to look forward to.

Hopefully, it also means Kylie will be working more with the team in the future. She quit her job on The Irrational Season 1 Episode 4, “Zero Sum,” so she has the time. 

Elsewhere on the episode, Marisa continues to make progress in her investigation of the explosion. She had a huge breakthrough on “Zero Sum,” proving that the man currently in prison for the explosion couldn’t have been there.

Will Marisa’s discovery on “Lucky Charms” get her closer to discovering who was there if it wasn’t the man convicted of the crime?

Check out the photos below for a preview!

Episode description: Alec and the team head to Las Vegas to help Camille, a former colleague turned expert poker player who’s been lured into danger; they must take some risks to solve a gambling mystery before Camille gets hurt. Marisa makes a significant discovery.
