**Lethal Weapon Season 2 Episode 3 : “Born to Run”**

A pop star gets involved in an affair and an accident, killing her lover and propelling Murtaugh and Riggs center stage for the performance of their lives!

Shaye (JoJo) is a Popster at the top of her game. Money, Fame, she has it all. But one thing that money can’t buy is love! So she has a fling with her bodyguard. But of course, something goes bad, and someone rams their car off the cliff, killing her lover but somehow sparing her. She stumbles away alive. Yet another incident of vehicle as the murder weapon. Maybe someone should make a compilation of all the vehicle kills from the Show.

We then of course go to the mandatory Murtaugh moment, as we do in every second scene. In the giant house, Karen Palmer the beautiful DEA Agent and Riggs have joined Trish and Roger for brunch! It’s a double date. Karen is considering moving down to L.A. more permanently, which Riggs handles weirdly. Trish schools everyone on Mexican cuisine.

Then thankfully Riggs and Murtaugh get called to a Murder. They bolt off and Trish tells Karen that in the over 100 times Riggs has come over to eat, this was the first time he washed his hair.

They go to the crime scene, where a handsome new detective has stepped onto the scene. He’s brought soup! Bailey introduces him as Detective Bowman (Andrew Creer) and is infatuated with his Minestrone. Murtaugh however, wearing a great fedora again, has a bad feeling about the guy.

Then they head to Shaye’s place. She is very defensive, but Riggs sees right through it and accuses her of having an affair with the victim. We get a shot of Bob Marley’s guitar for no reason and then her Manager, Phil Green, shows up. He’s all swagged out and berates Riggs and Murtaugh. It’s not Marc Maron (John Ales). They figure out she had a boyfriend, a photographer – potential suspect!

We head to a wedding and one of the best scenes in modern TV. They find the Boyfriend, Ray LeRoy (Isiah Adams) fooling around with a Bridesmaid. He grabs a curtain to cover his nude body and says he has an alibi for last night; a wedding shoot, which seems plausible but somehow SHAYE has trailed them and bursts in. She gives him hell and tries to assault him, so Riggs holds her back – but she manages to kick Ray, and he tumbles off the balcony. The piece of cloth unravels mid-air and he lands dick-first in the wedding cake in the middle of a wedding below! What a romp!

So he didn’t do it. Back at the station, Gina Santos is still there! Somehow against all odds a character appears for more than one episode! She is just taking Avery’s role though, in that she is disappointed at the chaos they caused, but in the end it’s all fine because they got the job done & solved the case. She never brings up the bodycams again by the way.

Where is Avery by the way? They say he's at a leadership conference. Please come back soon Big KR!

They find out **two** things: **1,** Detective Bowman is actually a cop, or was until recently. He keeps getting promoted because of his good looks and charm, and Murtaugh recognized him because he’s on the LAPD recruitment posters! And **2,** their Unit (the homicide squad) has been placed on protective detail for Shaye. I wish I was kidding but that’s really what happens in this episode.

They call it a day and head home.

Riana tells Murtaugh that the “ShayNation”, an online community of Shayeniacs, is already all over the accident/murder. They're posting clips of interviews etc on their blog. Riana also asks if she can meet Detective Bowman whom she calls a Hottie, not weird at all. Somewhere else Riggs catches Shaye examining bruises on her neck. It’s kind of creepy scene but he finds out it was her own flippin’ Manager, Phil, who did it!

Trish comes home from a meeting with her boss. She’s a lawyer in case anyone has forgotten. Her boss owns the restaurant. I thought she worked for Azoulay? The Billionaire with the Private Jet? Anyway, somehow at the same time Riggs finds out about the Manager beating Shaye, Riana shows Roger a blog post accusing Phil of beating her. Roger drives over to confront Phil, and then Riggs shows up too and decks him BOOM! Wonder how Clayne will react when he finds out about ClayneCast…Clayne if you're reading this we all love you buddy.

For this, Captain Santos is giving Riggs a stern talking to. She tells him to cut the loose cannon act. Mister “don’t care if I live or die”. She sends him home for the day or at least that’s what he tells Murtaugh.

Bowman tries to get the Security tape from the restaurant where Shaye had the altercation with Phil, but “Brick wall”. They said that the request had to be vetted by the restaurants lawyer. Yep. That’s how things work. Then Murtaugh shows him how to do things the Murtaugh way. He takes Bowman with him to the restaurant and guess what Trish works there because SHE’S the restaurants lawyer!

Murtaugh barges in during the middle of a meeting she's holding and ruins everything. Just a complete moron. Bonehead!

He leaves but the hostess gave the tape to Bowman anyway since he has such pretty eyes.

Riggs hooks up with Palmer in a Hotel room again, but when she wants to talk about her feelings, he goes cold and absolutely storms out of there, much to her displeasure.

Murtaugh and Bailey found a possible suspect on the tape. It looks like Phil, the manager, was trying to keep Shaye from talking this guy (he looks like Avicii). Riggs and Murtaugh drive over to Shaye's to confront Phil with the tape. He says he doesn’t know who the guy and when Shaye comes in and sees the man on the tape she completely freezes up. But when Phil insists they’ve both never seen that guy before, she denies knowing the guy. Very suspicious. He tells them to fuck off and if they ever come back bring a warrant, to which Murtaugh points at him and says “don’t push it!”, because he's totally not a big pussy.

They go back to the station and check the tape again, then Trish shows up. She was there to apologize for earlier and felt guilty for snapping at her husband, so she brought him the security tape. But they already had it! She is livid and scolds Murtaugh.

Riggs asks Palmer if she can run the guy through the DEA database. She thought he called to talk about feelings, but he just needs a favor.

Her search comes back for a Bobby Claypool. He was just released from prison for vehicular manslaughter just recently. So why wasn’t he in the LAPD face recognition database. But he was in the DEA’s Database? So stupid.

Riggs and Murtaugh drive over to Shaye’s place, but when Riggs calls her she gets kidnapped by none other than Bobby! He was her boyfriend. He went to prison for because they had a deal. *She* was actually the one who ran someone over!

Anyway, a chase ensues, and Bobby is livestreaming the whole thing on Periscope. He has duct-taped Shaye’s hands to the steering wheel and is forcing her to drive erratically and towards oncoming traffic. All the while he’s making her confess to what she did. Riggs and Murtaugh race after them and eventually ram the car, causing it to spin and come to a halt hanging over a cliff.

Bobby gets out and Riggs just gently pats him to the ground. Roger cuts Shaye’s hands free, before the car begins to roll over the edge. But then she yells that Phil is still in the trunk and the car kind of rolls back up a bit.

Riggs hops in the car and pops the trunk, and makes Phil admit he was violent towards Shaye. The car slips a bit, and everyone gasps – yes, the entire station is watching the broadcast too. Riana and Trish are in the kitchen tuned in as well. Santos mutters “Oh my god it’s not an act!”

Just then Riggs yanks Phil up to safety, and the car falls off the cliff, splat!

They save the day; Shaye goes to jail but she learned her lesson and fired Phil.

Riana is mad because her dad ruined Shaye’s career, but Trish is enamored by this buffoon, and they head upstairs for a romantic romp.

Riggs calls Palmer to meet but she lies to him about already being at the airport. He brought her flowers, but she says when he just left her the other day that bothered her. So she breaks up with him and flies back to DC and Riggs is sad. The end.

## The ClayneClandestine

Why couldn't they just zoom in on the receipt in the security footage like they zoomed in on the reflection in the ornament in the Christmas episode?? They didn't need to go through legal

Also, this is more of a ClayneCast thing than a Lethal thing, but nonetheless, it's something relevant that's not being said for some mysterious reason: who's gonna tell Tom about the actual way you're supposed to pronounce biopic?

## Trivia

Ghosts and Aliens are real and natural. As natural as the grass or the sky or the air. So are Yetis and Goblins. That’s just nature.

This episode's Artwork features Eve Barlow's dad. Eve Barlow is a Journalist/Zionist and was recently expelled from attending the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial for using her laptop in court. Sheesh!

Tom is Nate's business manager. If you have any questions about his next album or concerts, any at all, please don't shy away from DMing Tom on twitter!

The first and second episode had an "actual" wiki article which the hosts used to refresh their memory, After that, the site didn't have any more episode recaps, so Keithlovesmovies.com burst onto the scene in episode 3 when Nate found him.

The episode image for this article was removed and had to be replaced by a censored version. Sorry! We're just covering the artists! Not responsible for the content they make and especially not that nasty little freak Yoda!

## Freaky Figures

Strikes for insulting the others:

* Tom 2
* Nate 1
* Drew 0
