In last night's 2.7, Loker did just that - in a way that lost the Lightman group almost two million of much needed dollars, but maintained the moral high ground that is so crucial to Lightman, and what makes him and the show so appealing. Loker finds that a big electronics discount store, signed up by Loker as a client, was partially responsible - "contributory negligence" is the legal term - for a stampede that took place in front of the store. When Loker makes it clear to the client that he does not intend to sit on this information, the client takes back the lucrative fee. Lightman feigns fury about this to Loker, but he's in fact delighted by Loker's integrity, and it will be fun to see Loker in an ascending rather than descending role.
The other story in 2.7 was about a teenager, kidnapped as a baby 16 years ago, in search of his real parents. It was a strong, in the end heart warming story, but it had no connection to the electronic discount store, and I find the two separate story approach (lots of television does it) usually does not make for the most riveting episode.

Hi Paul,I left you a message in Dexter take a look, I liked this episode. I thought it also showed the increasing bond between foster and cal. Loker has now redeem himself. Funny because I came across a Dr Lillian Glass and I find her to be a moron. She only thinks her opinions matter and she is always 100% right . If you write a dissenting opinion she e-mails you. She is supposed to be a body and language expert but I find her to be biased. Have you ever seen her
Lilian Glass sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't know her.
My wife mentioned that Dr. Glass is supposed to be on Nancy Grace tonight - if I get to see her on the show, I'll let you know what I think.
I don't like the two stories in 1 episode. It's like watching The Love Boat! :( They should hire better writers that can work all 4 main characters into 1 storyline, maybe interview more ppl. It would be more exciting.
Lillian Glass is a dumbass. I had a voice book in the 80's by her. Look up her website. She exudes dumbass vibes!
