    The Teen Lifestyle Contest

    Cal is blocked to write his book, and decides to join Dr. Foster, who was hired by the organizer Candice McCallister, in the investigation whether the contestants of her pageant do not use drugs and are free of plastic surgery. When they arrive at the stage, the teenager Megan Cross accuses director Thomas Fletcher of abusing her in the teen lifestyle contest. Cal and Gillian investigate the case and realize that Megan's mother has a strange relationship with her daughter, that wants to hurt her.

    "The Royal We" is a deceptive episode of "Lie to Me", with an awful story. Cal, as usual, has a bizarre behavior, but solve the problem of mother and daughter. But the argument is silly. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "The Royal We"
