Lie to Me Season 1-Ep 6

Do No Harm

Lightman and Foster are tapped to find a missing girl who the police believe the parents are responsible for killing.  She is adopted and they believe that her adoptive parents might have been abusive.  After meeting the parents Doctor Lightman knows that they didn’t kill their daughter and that they are truly worried about where she might be.  He continues to investigate uncovering the truth by talking to a few of the girls friends including a little older boy who was hiding her backpack so that if she decided to run away she would have stuff she needed.  Instead she disappeared before she could even take the stuff with her.

Eventually it comes out that her and her mother had a fight and the girl got hurt, she still visits the hospital once a week to have her dressing changed on the burn and this leads them to finding the girl who breaks down before them crying and saying she can’t tell them who had her.   Her mother eventually convinces her by talking with her and this leads Doctor LIghtman to get the girl to tell him who had her without her really saying who it is.   This leads them to the psychiatrist who was talking with her and who kidnaped her and another girl because they reminded her of her own daughter who died.

At the same time Loker and Torres interview a woman who wrote an autobiography about being in North Ugandan and rather or not she was telling the truth about never being involved in the violence there.   Loker likes the woman and even goes out on a date with her before Torres finds out the truth and reveals it to him, Loker confronts her and she admits to the truth telling them that someone has to tell the story, but it’s not true and it never gets published.  This was not a bad sub-plot story as it did help form a relationship between Loker and Torres to show that they are becoming friends but over all nowhere near as important as the main story about the missing girl.
