    The End of an Affair

    Cal feels that Dave Burns has a secret and snoops around him, and Gilliam discloses to him that Dave is a DEA agent. Without the knowledge of Dr. Foster, Cal and Ben follow Dave and see him meeting a black woman in a bar, and then he is abducted by two men in a van. In the office, Ben discloses that the woman is Michelle Russo, an undercover DEA agent and ex-partner of Dave. Cal meets Michelle and she tells him that Dave was abducted by the drug dealer Little Moon, who has assumed the position of his father Big Moon. He is trying to find who killed his father and he suspects that Dave did. Cal succeeds to contact Little Moon and offers his service to find who killed Big Moon, and Dr. Foster goes with him to meet the gangsters. Cal wants to manipulate Little Moon to save Dave using his unconventional methods.

    "Exposed" is an episode of "Lie to Me", where Cal Lightman helps to save Gillian's boyfriend Dave Burns. His dangerous methods jeopardize not only Dave, but also Foster and himself. It is hard ro believe that someone so odd may exist. But as an entertainment, this show works. Great to see Danala "Michonne" Gurira in a different series. My vote is seven.

      When Cal first meets Little Moon in the industrial facility, Little Moon aims a gun at Cal. In the first shot, looking towards Little Moon, the gun is held in the normal way. In the next shot, looking towards Cal, the gun is held sideways. This continues for several shots during the same scene.
