Just then, Vijay arrives and slams the guy against the wall. He then deactivates the card and saves Leo. Francois watches this from afar and claims he wanted to know more about Leo, thinking they are alike, but he now realizes they aren’t at the end of HIGH CARD Season 2 Episode 5.

The Episode Review

HIGH CARD Season 2 Episode 5 is just a filler episode and doesn’t really contribute much to the storyline as a whole. While High Card remains dismissed, Leo studies in a Rummy College. He meets Francois, a boy who tries to befriend him.

Leo suffers bad health during this time, and Leo pushes him away, thinking he is the cause. It is revealed that the college doctor is the culprit behind the bad health. The storyline is quite bland and doesn’t include anything significant.
