* BadassTeacher: Pretty self-explanatory as a former "Kick Drugs" student, especially how easily he was able to trounce Loco when he entered his classroom and harassed his students. He would also be more than happy to enroll Malcolm in Trent's karate school after he was impressed of how he stood up to Loco.
* CoolTeacher: He is this to a T, especially having learned a thing or two from Walker during his time in "Kick Drugs". After being murdered by Loco, Walker would soon have to fulfill this role for him as he previously did in Season 5's "Devil's Turf".

* AnAesop: The lesson he learned after he comes forward and tells Walker what happened is that carrying a gun is the problem, not the answer.
* ChekhovsGun: No pun intended in this case. The gun he illegally purchased out of fear of retaliation from the Diablos gang after witnessing Loco kill Ricardo.

The ex-wife of Garrett Pope and mother of Griffin Pope and the deuteragonist of "Desperate Measures". She was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Garrett's business partner after having an affair with him, but there was no affair, because Garrett set her up to cover up his illicit business practices the Feds were investigating. After she escapes from a prison bus along with her cellmate, Hitch Harrelson, thanks to the boyfriends of two other escapees ambushing it, she goes on the run to try to clear her name, asking her uncle Walt for assistance and being lent his pickup truck. While trying to stay inconspicuous, she and Harrelson unknowingly give Gage a ride back to Dallas after his motorcycle breaks down. However, after they are stopped for speeding by a State Trooper, the truth behind the two women is eventually revealed when Harrelson decides to kill both her and Gage. While Gage apprehends Harrelson, Lara gets away in the pickup and reunites with Griffin, only for them to be kidnapped by Garrett's men.

-------
* AmoralAttorney: Her defense attorney was on Garrett's payroll and testified against her to cover up his crimes and didn't even file for an appeal; it was a slam dunk for her. Alex notes he should've been disbarred, since she'd be out of a job if she prosecuted a case like that lawyer defended hers. Despite getting no consequences for this, the lawyer passes away in a car accident. However, at the end of the episode, when the Rangers track her to Garrett's mansion and arrest him and his men, she would be granted a retrial. The retrial was going to take a while, because until then, she was released on a personal recognizance bond, but due to her lawyer's misconduct and the new evidence that was gathered, she's almost certain to get a full dismissal.
* ChainedHeat: What happens to her and Hitch Harrelson at the beginning of the episode after two other escapees are freed after their boyfriends ambush the bus. The two women turn to Lara's uncle Walt for help to get the chains removed.
* ClearMyName: Garrett frames her for killing his business partner to cover up his illicit business practices and she seeks to get her record expunged.
* CoolUncle: It is unknown of what happened to [[MissingMom her]] [[DisappearedDad parents]], having been raised by her uncle, Walt, who is a taxidermist. Walt knew from the very beginning his niece was innocent of the murder committed by Garrett and how she wants to be reunited with her son, Griffin, that he lends her his pickup truck to find him, even having taught her how to drive in it. He also gives the women regular clothes and hair dye when they take off their inmate uniforms so they can stay inconspicuous. When the news breaks of her escape, Garrett and his men murder Walt, and when DPS finds his body a half an hour later, Walker and Sydney believe neither she nor Harrelson could've done it, but they put an APB out for his pickup when it turns up missing. DPS eventually finds the truck at Griffin's school, where she and Griffin were kidnapped by Garrett's men, at which point she left it behind. After Walker, Trivette, Sydney and Gage track Lara to Garrett's mansion and arrest him, to which she is granted a retrial, one of his goons, Victor, testifies against him for killing Walt.
* DyeOrDie: After escaping the prison bus, she and Harrelson decide to have their hair dyed to avoid being recognized; she goes from being a blonde to a redhead, while Harrelson goes from an {{evil|redhead}} [[FieryRedhead redhead]] to brunette. It was enough to fool Gage, as well as a State Trooper who stopped them for speeding, until she told him the truth when Harrelson decided to kill them both. While it was enough to fool the authorities, it wasn't enough to fool Garrett and his goons when she reunites with Griffin at his school (leaving Walt's pickup behind) after Gage apprehends Harrelson.
* FieryRedhead: Her natural hair color is blonde, but when she and Harrelson dye their hair to avoid being recognized after they escape the bus, she becomes this. Harrelson, however, started off as one herself before going brunette.

* GirlOfTheWeek: To Gage after she kisses him as thanks for helping her.
* LazyAlias: When she and Harrelson need aliases so they don't reveal their real names, she picks the name "Marcia Collins" when they give Gage a ride back to Dallas.
* MissingMom: While she has this along with a DisappearedDad, she is also this to her son, Griffin, since she was framed for a crime committed by Garrett to cover up his illicit business practices.
* VictimOfTheWeek: Her uncle Walt becomes this when Garrett and his men visit his apartment demanding to know where she is, and then beat him to death. She luckily avoids becoming this after Walker, Trivette, Gage and Sydney arrest Garrett.

'''Appearances''': "Special Witness"

A [[UsefulNotes/SpecialOlympics Special Olympian]] with Downs Syndrome who serves as the deuteragonist of "Special Witness". While Trent is escorting her to running practice, he is stabbed by federally-wanted assassin Donovan Riggs, who was hired by Morris Foley to prevent him from testifying in court against him. She was the only witness to the attack and assists the Rangers and Carlos in catching Trent's attacker, but at the same time, she had to be protected before Foley and Riggs could murder her, too.

* GirlOfTheWeek: To Gage.

* AmoralAttorney: Her defense attorney was on Garrett's payroll and testified against her to cover up his crimes and didn't even file for an appeal; it was a slam dunk for poor Lara. Alex notes he should've been disbarred, since she'd be out of a job if she prosecuted a case like that lawyer defended hers. Despite getting no consequences for this, the lawyer passes away in a car accident. However, at the end of the episode, when the Rangers track her to Garrett's mansion and arrest him and his men, she would be granted a retrial. The retrial was going to take a while, because until then, she was released on a personal recognizance bond, but due to her lawyer's misconduct and the new evidence that was gathered, she's almost certain to get a full dismissal.

* CoolUncle: It is unknown of what happened to [[MissingMom her]] [[DisappearedDad parents]], having been raised by her uncle, Walt, who is a taxidermist. Walt knew from the very beginning his niece was innocent of the murder committed by Garrett and how she wants to be reunited with her son, Griffin, that he lends her his pickup truck to find him, even having taught her how to drive in it. He also gives the women regular clothes and hair dye when they take off their inmate uniforms so they can stay inconspicuous. When the news breaks of her escape, Garrett and his men murder Walt, and when DPS finds his body a half an hour later, Walker and Sydney believe neither Lara nor Harrelson could've done it, but they put an APB out for his pickup when it turns up missing. DPS eventually finds the truck at Griffin's school, where she and Griffin were kidnapped by Garrett's men, at which point she left it behind. After Walker, Trivette, Sydney and Gage track Lara to Garrett's mansion and arrest him, to which she is granted a retrial, one of his goons, Victor, testifies against him for killing Walt.
* DyeOrDie: After escaping the prison bus, she and Harrelson decide to have their hair dyed to avoid being recognized; she goes from being a blonde to a redhead, while Harrelson goes from FieryRedhead to brunette. It was enough to fool Gage, as well as a State Trooper who stopped them for speeding, until she told him the truth when Harrelson decided to kill them both. While it was enough to fool the authorities, it wasn't enough to fool Garrett and his goons when she reunites with Griffin at his school (leaving Walt's pickup behind) after Gage apprehends Harrelson.
* FieryRedhead: Her natural hair color is blonde, but when she and Harrelson dye their hair to avoid being recognized, she becomes this. Harrelson, however, started off as one herself before going brunette.

As soon as Gage and Sydney are sent to find the car used in her murder, which was reported stolen, he apprises Alex of the situation, concluding that the secret message Sammy got across to his son was that he avenge him for his convictions and arranges protection for everyone involved in the trial.

An eighth-grader at Lemmon Avenue Middle School who witnesses the shooting death of his teacher, Ricardo Lopez, by Loco Morales of the Diablos gang, but is too scared to report this that he purchases a gun out of fear of retaliation from the gang, only for him to accidentally shoot his friend, Faith, with it while trying to stop a would-be Diablos prospect from doing so. He was so impressed with how Ricardo easily trounced Loco before his brutal murder that he wanted to be enrolled in Trent's karate school.
