(Spoiler warning: This story contains spoilers from Tuesday’s season premiere of “Lethal Weapon.”)
Clayne Crawford was fired from Fox’s “Lethal Weapon” last season, and though it ended with a seemingly dire cliffhanger for his character, it wasn’t immediately clear how the show would handle his exit.
Fan questions were answered in the Season 3 premiere on Tuesday, when the Fox drama revealed that Martin Riggs did not survive a shooting in the graveyard from last season’s finale.
Much of the episode, co-written by showrunner Matt Miller, focuses on Murtaugh’s (Damon Wayans’) inability to accept the death of his partner, convinced that he fell victim to some vast conspiracy. Unshaven and refusing to change out of sweatpants, Murtaugh spends all his time on a boat parked in his driveway, trying to crack the case of Riggs’ death.

The season finale, titled “One Day More” was action-packed as expected with Murtagh (Damon Wayans) and Riggs (Crawford) getting ambushed in Rigg’s trailer. Turns out that Murtagh was the target here and not Riggs as everyone suspected. To add to that, Trish (Keesha Sharp) has been kidnapped by Riggs’ toxic, abusive daddy Nathan (Rex Linn) because she found out that her money laundering co-worker Alan was in cahoots with Nathan. He kidnapped her and demanded that she shell out $2 million.
Naturally, the next step in this kidnapping situation would be a moment of bargaining and trade involving Rigg’s half-brother Garrett (Peter Coventry Smith...
