Alec and the team had a heartbreaking case to deal with in The Irrational Season 1, Episode 3. Now it’s time to focus on the next episode, and here are The Irrational spoilers you need.

The latest episode of The Irrational focused heavily on mental health. The pilot was dead, which made him the perfect scapegoat. However, Alec and the team weren’t convinced, so they looked into the pilot’s last moments to figure out what was going on.

As we got into it, it’s clear why people don’t take mental health seriously. Or more like they don’t speak out about it to get help. There is still so much of a stigma around mental health. This episode took us into a heartbreaking deep dive of that while continuing to grow the main characters of the series.

However, now it’s time to get focused on to the new episode of the series. The promo gives us a look at the case that Mercer will end up taking on. This one will see him team up with his ex-wife as people trust couples more than men on their own. Hey, that’s certainly true, and it’s great to see the series point that out.
