Ep 12. Blinded

In this episode of Lie To Me, entitled "Blinded," we find the Lightman Group being called in to investigate a fatal car accident involving a wealthy man and his young bride. The man's father, a powerful businessman, is convinced that his son's new wife was responsible for the crash and wants the team to prove it.

Dr. Cal Lightman and his team, including psychologist Dr. Gillian Foster, behavioral analyst Eli Loker, and research assistant Ria Torres, set to work analyzing the case. They start by interviewing the surviving driver of the other car involved in the accident, who claims that he was blinded by a bright light just before the collision. The Lightman Group suspects that the driver may have been paid to lie, but they have no proof.

As they dig deeper into the case, the team discovers that the dead man's wife is a former escort with a criminal record, and that she had made a video recording of the car crash just moments before it occurred. The video shows her and her husband arguing just before the accident, adding fuel to the theory that she may have been responsible.

The Lightman Group's investigation takes them into the world of underground street racing, where they learn that the night of the accident, the wealthy man had been in a race with several other cars. They eventually discover that the blinding light reported by the other driver was caused by one of the other cars in the race, which had been rigged with high-intensity lights to distract the other racers.

While this evidence clears the young wife of any wrongdoing in the car crash, it leads to the revelation that her husband had been engaged in illegal street racing. The man's father is devastated by this news, and the Lightman Group is left to ponder the moral implications of the case.

Overall, Lie To Me season 1 episode 12 was a gripping and complex mystery that kept viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end. The episode showcased the Lightman Group's impressive investigative skills and highlighted the moral ambiguity of their work. Fans of crime dramas and psychology-based shows will definitely enjoy this episode.
