Overview (Season 2):
Wait, the prompt asks for a summary of Season 2's narrative arc.
Looking at the sources: The TMDB synopsis says "Zachary Quinto returns as Dr. Wolf...". It doesn't explicitly detail the plot of Season 2, only that he returns.
Source [2] says it aired until July 1, 2026 and was renewed in May 2025.
The provided text does not contain specific plot details for Season 2 beyond Dr. Wolf returning to Bronx General to solve puzzling psychological cases.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of Season 2's narrative arc if the provided text only says "Zachary Quinto returns as Dr. Wolf...".
