• 'Lie to Me' finale: suicide bombers and a ticking clock

  'Lie to Me' finale: suicide bombers and a ticking clock As the debate rages over enhanced interrogation techniques, the season finale of "Lie to Me" offers up a -- fictional -- scenario about what we stand for and how we stand for it.

• 'Lie to Me': Darkness and Lightman

  I don't usually have a big problem with creepy. I have a bit of a crush on Vincent D'Onofrio, as a kid I watched "In Search Of," and I've seen "The Silence of the Lambs" more times than I care to count. But tonight's "Lie to Me" -- while compelling, intelligently plotted, and very well acted, kind of freaked me out.

• 'Lie to Me': Police, terror cells, and a touch of '24'

  This week's "Lie to Me" seemed to take a page from the "24" playbook (minus the torture), with cops as suspects, FBI agents, CIA informers, and a rumored terrorist plot. But it all started like a good, old-fashioned crime procedural.

• 'Lie to Me': Cal's ex-wife is back -- and she's Jennifer Beals

  They say that marriage -- and divorce -- often comes down to a battle of wills. But tonight's "Lie to Me" also threw in in unresolved feelings, a tense relationship with a business partner, and an arson investigation -- and boy did that dynamic get interesting.

• 'Lie to Me:' A life-and-death lie

  I would never have considered the possibility that microexpressions could be the key to a FEMA investigation, but tonight's "Lie to Me" convinced me that it's possible. Well, more or less. Of all the scenarios where The Lightman Group could've been useful, this one felt like bit of a stretch -- albeit a really dramatic one. And at least no one told Cal he was doing a heckuva job.

• 'Lie to Me': Suicide, surrogates, and securities fraud

  We begin tonight's "Lie to Me" with a mystery that's a whole lot different than The Lightman Group's typical case -- if such a thing exists. Cal and his daughter encounter a road block while on their way to school; a young Indian woman has thrown herself from a bridge -- and Cal can't let it go. And in a B story ripped from the headlines, we've got a major Madoff-style swindle and some populist anger from Eli.
