‘Lethal Weapon’ Season 2, Episode 5 Trailer Teases Riggs’ Next Therapy Session

Riggs tries to come to terms with his past in next week’s episode of “Lethal Weapon.”

In a new trailer for Season 2, episode 5 of the Fox series, Riggs (Clayne Crawford) continues to open up about his dad (Rex Linn) during his therapy session with Cahill (Jordana Brewster).

“My dad did the best he could,” Riggs tells Cahill. “I believe I’m the man I am today because of him.”

Riggs started to talk about his father in Season 2, episode 4 when Cahill asked why Riggs got rid of an old rifle his dad gave to him. “It’s the rifle my daddy taught me to shoot with. And it’s the rifle that shot him,” Riggs revealed at the end of the episode.

Elsewhere in the promo clip, Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) and Trish (Keesha Sharp) are seemingly trying to convince Riggs to live in their house.

“I repeatedly asked him to stay here,” Murtaugh says in the video, while his wife appears to be having a heart-to-heart talk with the troubled cop. “Home isn’t a shell you climb into. It’s the people who are there for you,” Trish tells Riggs.

As for the case of the week, Riggs and Murtaugh investigate a death that occurs moments before the victim’s bet wins a horse race. Returning character Leo Getz (Thomas Lennon) insists that it’s a homicide and aids in the investigation.

Another trailer for the episode reveals that Leo is a friend of the victim, and that explains his commitment in finding out the truth about his buddy’s death.

Riggs and Murtaugh then visit a tattoo shop where one of the persons of interest in the presumed killing works. However, as soon as the partners enter the shop and declare that they are looking for a loan shark, extortionist, cobbler and arms dealer, the men they find inside start to attack them. The two manage to take the men down, and Leo — who appears to have secretly entered the shop — also finds a way to save himself from one of the bad guys who tries to strangle him.

When Leo believes that he has killed the man who came after him, Riggs jokes, “I hope you know a good lawyer.”

“Lethal Weapon” Season 2, episode 5, titled “Let It Ride,” airs on Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox. But in the event a World Series Game #6 is necessary, the episode will be preempted, and local programming will air in primetime on the West Coast.
