NBC’s The Irrational returns with a high-stakes game of cat and mouse in “Conversation Games,” airing Tuesday, February 25 at 10:00 PM ET. This week, Alec Mercer, the human behavior expert with a penchant for unorthodox methods, faces his most formidable opponent yet: a tech billionaire suspected of being a serial killer.

When Kylie and Marisa uncover evidence linking the billionaire to a string of murders, Alec steps in to crack the case. But extracting a confession from a cunning, powerful individual requires more than just good cop/bad cop tactics. It requires a deep dive into the killer’s psyche, a dangerous dance on the edge of reason.

This episode takes Alec’s expertise in behavioral science to a whole new level. He crafts a plan to manipulate the billionaire, engaging him in a psychological duel designed to expose his true nature. But can Alec outsmart a killer who’s always one step ahead?

“Conversation Games” examines the fine line between genius and madness, where the rules of logic no longer apply.
