Alec Mercer and the team need to get to the bottom of a plane crash in The Irrational Season 1, Episode 3. Here are all The Irrational spoilers you need.

The first season of The Irrational has introduced us to Mercer’s traumatic past and his fight to uncover the truth. He knows that behavior is rationally irrational, and he works to understand people to figure out what they’ll do next or what they’ll need to do in order to feel vindicated.

During the second episode, Alec managed to unlock a memory. He used the power of scent to be able to do it, which is a very real way to unlock memories. You’d be amazed by what comes up when it comes to some scents and where we can be taken back to. What will he be able to do with that information?

That’s not what the spoilers for the new episode look into, but we’re sure to see something. Here are The Irrational spoilers that we need for the upcoming episode.

The promo for the episode gives us a look at what Alec is going to do to get to the bottom of the case that he’s pulled into. The case involves a pilot who may have been suicidal. Of course, the cops look into the pilot’s live with an agenda, but Alec won’t do that.

He wants to understand the pilot better. This will tell him if the pilot did it, or if there is someone else to look at. He has no gain in doing this except to continue to prove that he is an expert in this stuff, so we have no reason to doubt his logic to get to the truth.
