Tonight's episode is about a female soldier who accuses a commanding officer of sexual assault, with a B-plot about the team investigating a potential athletic bribe. So nobody got murdered this week, which is good. Roth has said that that will be a big difference between their show and The Mentalist -- the Lie to Me team is a bunch of consultants, and they consult on a variety of situations. (The first episode, of course, was a murder.) Sounds good to me, as long as I never have to sit through an episode featuring Brendan Hines' character, who is pompous and smug. And if he hooks up with Michelle Rodriguez Lite (played by fellow "M.R." Monica Raymund), he will only be more insufferable. Or maybe she'll break him in two like a puppy. Having never watched The Practice, I can only assume that Kelli Williams is as talented as she is pretty, so hopefully she'll be as front-and-center as she was in the premiere. Her banter with Roth's Dr. Lightman was the highlight of the show for me, so keep it coming, Fox.

Lie to Me airs on Fox at 9:00 on Wednesdays. Check our listings to find out what else is on tonight.
