Prodigal Son Season 1 Episode 5 The Trip

The Trip is the fifth episode of the first season of Prodigal Son. Malcolm Bright, a criminal psychologist who is the son of a notorious serial killer, assists the NYPD in solving crimes. In this episode, Malcolm teams up with his colleague, Dani, as they work to solve the case of a young woman who has disappeared in the city.

As they begin to investigate, Malcolm starts to have flashbacks of his own traumatic experience as a child. His father, Dr. Martin Whitly, who is currently in prison for his crimes, used to take him on "trips" to abandoned buildings where he would teach him how to kill animals. This memory makes Malcolm realize that the missing woman may have been taken on a similar "trip" by her boyfriend, who has a history of violence.

Malcolm and Dani follow the clues that lead them to a deserted island, where they suspect the young couple has gone to hide. They find the boyfriend, who is armed and dangerous, and a confrontation ensues. Meanwhile, Malcolm continues to struggle with his own demons as he tries to understand his father's mind and the reasons behind his crimes.

The Trip is an intense episode that delves deeper into Malcolm's psyche and the effects of his father's actions on his life. It offers a glimpse into the dark and twisted world of criminal psychology, where the line between good and evil is often blurred. As always, the show is full of suspense and drama, keeping the audience at the edge of their seats until the very end.
