‘Lethal Weapon’ spoilers: Riggs, Murtaugh, and a different sort of opponent

While “Lethal Weapon” may currently be on hiatus thanks largely due to the Christmas break, the good news is that we will be seeing the show back on the air fairly early on in the new year. It’s not waiting for “Empire” to return to bring back some stories, though the downside to that is that it will be off the air once we get around to the time in which we do end up seeing that show return to Fox.

Over the course of the next several episodes, there are a few different things that we’re going to see. Riggs and Murtaugh’s partnership will evolve, they’ll learn more about each other’s pasts, and they’ll also figure out a better way to solve some complicated crimes across Los Angeles … apparently, even when they have to face off against other people in law enforcement. The second episode of the show back from hiatus (think January 11) is entitled “Lawmen,” and the synopsis below offers up some great scoop as to what exactly is going to happen:

“Murtaugh and Riggs are pitted against the LA Sheriff’s department when the killing of a Texas Ranger leads them to believe a possible misuse of power is at play. Just as the partners are sure they’ve found their culprit, the case becomes even more complicated when a dark secret is dug up from Captain Avery’s past.”

One of the reasons why this is probably one of our personal favorite kinds of episodes for a show like this is that there are so many different layers to it. You’re going to have some of the action and the drama that you’ve come to expect from this show by now. Meanwhile, you’re also going to have a considerably large amount of political-playing, and hopeful an ending that you won’t quite expect.
