.Best.Episode.Ever.

I'm a huge fan of Lie To Me, it's so original, exciting and the characters are so interesting. But this episode was different, this episode was THE episode of Lie To Me.

I have never seen an episode like this air on TV before. It is so well-thought and the plot is mind-blowing. Twisted, and filled with malice is what describes this episode.

Daniel Sunjata who plays a major role in this episode as the psychopath rapist is beyond amazing, he is one hell of an actor. He is so charming in a creepy way, I can't find the words to describe it. His easiness and calmness makes you shiver at the sight of him. I'm trying my best to describe how amazing this episode is, but I just can't, you HAVE to watch it.

LOVE.THIS.EPISODE

The Copycat

The Copycat Cal is assigned by the FBI to go undercover to prison to find who is the copycat of the prisoner Andrew Jenkins. He unsuccessfully tries to approach the serial-rapist, but his identity is disclosed. Jenkins, who raped and blinded his victims, has many fans and one of them might be his copycat. Dr. Lightman brings the criminal to his office, but Jenkins is a master liar and he has difficulties to find his deceptions. But they need to find the next victim Camille before she is wounded.

"Blinded" is probably the best episode of "Lie to Me" so far. The plot of a serial rapist that blinds his victims with acid after raping them is intriguing and has an unexpected conclusion. Poor Michelle Russell when she learns who her husband is. Maybe this is the more heartbreaking part of the show. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Blinded"

Trivia
When talking to the serial rapist to learn the identity of the copy cat, Lightman questions him about his education, specifically "flunking out after one semester at Southern Iowa State". However, while there is an Iowa State University there is no school named Southern Iowa State.

Goofs
Another "Trivia" is Correct that there is NO Southern Iowa State University. "PUN" - Those from the South who go to Higher Education Univ/etc sometimes are Helpful and will say "Southern Iowa State University" to direct where the place they are seeking is in the Southern PART of Iowa State University. They will also use Eastern, Northern, Western and Central to be specific where to go at the University. Southerners "Boast" there knowing which way is what w/o a Compass.

Quotes
Dr. Cal Lightman: They want me to have a man with a gun around, full time.
Agent Ben Reynolds: To protect the valuables. Well, i guess I can't blame 'em, I mean, you guys are a bunch of scientist-nerds, running around, poking your nose in people's faces, calling 'em liars
