  1. 01MotherS02E13 · 9.0When Lambert follows an embezzler from the future, one of the clues leads him to Bradwell orphanage, where he himself is left when he is born. There he meets Kit, who looks like an older version of Lambert's SELMA. What he doesn't know, but soon finds out is that she is his mother. The question is why she doesn't want to admit it. Meanwhile, Kit's former husband, the fugitive Lambert was looking for, has hid a disk with damaging information about a gang. Naturally they want it back, which means that neither Lambert, Kit nor her ex-husband is safe...
  2. 02Darrow for the DefenseS01E21 · 8.0While Lambert finally gets a lead on Sambhi through one of his accomplices and prepares to zoom in on Sambhi's last known location, a lawyer from the 22nd century, Laura Darrow, shows up on his doorstep. Lambert is less than thrilled about her being there, as she has freed many of his convicts in the past (future). But since Sambhi gets away once again, Lambert is forced to cooperate with her in finding her client, whom she has freed from all charges. Through SELMA, Lambert tracks Darrows client, and they give him 24 hours to take care of everything before being sent home. But once Lambert and Darrow leave, the client (who is a plastic surgeon) calls Sambhi. Meanwhile, Lambert and Darrow continue their rows, until we suddenly learn that they once had a fling. Soon they are friends again, and lovers. As the 24 hours are up, Lambert and Darrow meet her client, but are confronted with Sambhi, who puts them in straight-jackets in a cell...
  3. 03One on OneS01E22 · 8.0Sahmbi's latest invention involves mind control, but his sponsors demand a demonstration with hard evidence. So he captures Lambert and injects him with a TXP variant and tries to manipulate his thoughts. Lambert soon exhibits signs of believing Sahmbi's story and understanding his motives, to the point where he seems ready to give Sahmbi his PPT. This turns out to be a clever trick from Lambert, and it results in Sambhi's assistants being killed, when the tunnel collapses. Now it's Lambert vs Sahmbi - one on one. But Sahmbi has the upper hand, with the mind controlling drug. Lambert starts questioning his mission, and distances himself from SELMA. Then Sahmbi orders Lambert to kill himself...
