The Half-Sister

Torres meets Cal and Gillian and shows a distress call from her half-sister, who is inmate of a juvenile detention institution, the Covington Youth Center. Cal and Gillian learn that Torres has a younger half-sister named Ava that is a delinquent and liar. They meet Warden Lamb and Dr. Dave Burns and they say that Ava is isolated in a cell. However, Cal and Torres force Lamb and interview Ava. The facility is surrounded by the police, since Ava's best friend Marley was found pregnant and dead. Now, Cal and Dr. Foster investigate who might have killed Marley and why.

"Delinquent" is an entertaining episode of "Lie to Me", where the viewers are presented to Torres' half-sister. There are estranged to and do no believe to each other. The orthodox methods of Cal Lightman, accusing everybody to study their reactions, is weird, and his character is very odd. Bringing all the delinquents from Covington to embarrass Warden Lamb is unbelievable and unrealistic. The conclusion is corny. My vote is eight.

Trivia
The deputy warden sarcastically asks if Foster is a psychologist. Jessica Tuck has a psychology degree from Yale.

Goofs
Cal tells Emily she'll get her (driver's) license when she's good and ready, however she had been driving on her own in previous episodes, implying she already had her license.
