Wild Cards (season 3)

The third season of Wild Cards follows Max Mitchell as she officially joins the police force as a consultant, bringing her unique con artist skills to help solve complex cases. Her world is shaken by two major events: Ellis returns to active duty, cleared of all charges and ready to partner with her once again, and Max is confronted by the unexpected return of her mother Vivienne, who she believed was dead. Vivienne's arrival triggers dangerous and high-stakes events that challenge Max's relationship with Ellis and force her to confront her past. As the season unfolds, Max and Ellis tackle increasingly layered crimes that test their teamwork, ethics, and trust in each other. The bond between them is put to the test by new enemies, secrets, and personal struggles, with Max's emotional depth and Ellis's methodical approach coming into sharper focus. The season continues to explore the dynamic between a by-the-book detective and a clever con woman, as they navigate both professional and personal challenges while uncovering deeper layers of the city's criminal underworld.
