Things take a decidedly strange turn in the latest episode of NBC’s “The Irrational.” When a dream about murder turns out to be a little too real, Alec Mercer finds himself drawn into a case with a decidedly pulpy twist.

The dream in question belongs to Renee, who seeks Alec’s help after experiencing a disturbingly vivid premonition of a murder. The case becomes even more complicated when it’s revealed that the victim is, in fact, Renee’s heart transplant donor. Is it a psychic connection, a coincidence, or something far more sinister? One can only assume that Alec Mercer will keep a close eye on his own ticker.

Meanwhile, Marisa receives a surprise visit from someone from her past, a development which likely means further complications for the team. “The Irrational” continues its pattern of serving up offbeat cases that rely on Alec’s unconventional methods and understanding of the human psyche.

“The Irrational” Season 2 Episode 12, “Straight From the Heart,” airs on NBC at 10:00 PM on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
