** Season 6's "In God's Hands" had Trivette being placed on administrative leave after he is accused of shooting a six-year-old boy who was caught in the crossfire, while Walker tries to prove that the bullet came from the VillainOfTheWeek's gun. Trivette gets it not once, but twice. Walker is able to snap Trivette out of his HeroicBSOD and he agrees to revisit the scene of the crime, then while goes out for a run to clear his head beforehand, the victim's vengeful older brother is about to shoot and kill him after buying a gun from an unlicensed seller, but quickly relents at the last minute when Trivette runs into a mounted police officer on horseback, who also believes he is innocent, stating this sort of thing has likely happened before and is considered the worst nightmare of every law enforcement officer. Hence, the mounted officer and everyone in his department are in his corner.
** In Season 8's "Rise to the Occasion", Walker did this to 12-year-old Henry Monroe who decided to kill himself due to his poverty-stricken life and relentless bullying. Walker sadly fails, but then decides to turn his sadness into action to help improve the reputations of the students and the school itself so they don't suffer the same outcome Henry did. Another thing that helps is the background song played throughout the episode:
--->''You're stronger than you think you are\\
You'll shine If you just follow your star\\
You can do even more than you know\\
But you got to believe that's so\\
A life worth saving.''
