Late April …
A reportin Deadline surfaced that would permanently alter the course of the show.

Crawfords second reprimand stemmed from an episode he directed, which doubled as his personal directorial debut.
An actor on set felt unsafe because a piece of shrapnel from an effect hit him, he said.
It was an unfortunate event that happened in spite of all safety precautions and procedures being followed.
I take responsibility for the incident because I was in charge of set.
After this incident, the duo reportedly never spoke to each other beyond the necessary constraints of the set.
Crawford responded with a seaside tweet that read, you cant fire me on my day off!
Wait, wait, wait……you cant fire me on my day off!
Mid-May …
Seann William Scottwas named asCrawfords replacement, andLethal Weaponwas officially renewed for a third season.
Kiss the dark side of my ass if you dont understand it wasnt just me, he wrote.
@ClayneCrawford has a file of infractions.
Relished in making female cry.
And stuck fear in cast and crew.
As a result of that outburst, the episodes assistant director quit on the spot.
He soon connects with Murtaugh and becomes his partner upon joining the LAPD.
