Tragic Fate and Deception

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 8 January 2024]

The 22-year-old Afro-American football player and college student Cabe McNeil is in a party in his fraternity when he meets Susan, and they have one night stand. On the next morning, he is arrested accused of statutory rape. Zoe asks The Lightman Group to help her in the defense of Cabe, and she believes that the District Attorney Jay Pollack is racist since they studied in the law school together. Susan is a sixteen-year-old high-school student and Cobe claims that she lured him. However, her father Mr. Reeds wants Cobe in the jail. When the footage of their intercourse in posted in the Internet, Dr. Lightman finds the camera and the owner who recorded the night of love of the couple and the reason why. Meanwhile, Dr. Foster and Loker are hired by the IRS to investigate the religious leader Jamie Cowley and she learns that he is an abusive man. But this is not the objective of the IRS, and Dr. Foster takes an attitude.

"Truth or Consequences" is an episode of "Lie to Me" with serious consequences. The father of Susan, Mr. Reed, is an inconsequent man that kills the District Attorney and does not admit that his daughter is a liar and promiscuous teenager. The poor college boy was arrested, abused in prison, humiliated, exposed and questioned in his honor because of the girl. And the man ends killing the poor prosecutor that dropped the case based on the evidence. In the other segment, Foster lies to the IRS representative and Loker supports her. The way she removed the victim has protected her indeed, but maybe she could have handled the problem in a better way. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Truth or Consequences"

Annoyed by a lot in this episode

First, the girl's dad is a coward. He refuses to admit that his daughter is the problem, and instead of looking at the facts, he blames and kills an innocent person and is then "at peace" with his decision. He refuses to acknowledge that the college kid his daughter slept with is the real victim because his daughter went to the frat specifically to sleep with a college guy, she lied about her age, and she was the one who filmed it. Yet, he keeps calling his daughter the victim and the college guy a criminal. Very annoying. Second, Gillian was annoying most of the episode as well. She kept acting like the commune was a prison and that the head preacher was assaulting all the women, when in reality, everyone was there voluntarily, and she just couldn't accept that. They tried to make it sound like one of the women was being forced to stay there, and if she left, she would lose her kids because the head preacher was the father. In reality, this woman was committing tax fraud, and she didn't leave because she would be forced to split custody with the father, and she didn't want that. So, Gillian helped her run away from the father and the IRS. Then Gillian lies to federal government. Very annoying. Not my favorite episode.
