In "Silken Prey," a character expresses his thoughts on a murder case, but his antics come off as overly silly to Lucas, who loses interest in him despite their similar beliefs about the situation. Lucas perceives the man's approach as ineffective and non-serious, leading him to disregard his contributions.
