* LivingLieDetector: Lia can always tell when people are lying, making her extraordinarily useful when interviewing suspects. She can't usually tell why they're lying, though -- that's where the profilers come in.

Looking at the trope page, this doesn't seem extreme enough to count as an example. Sloane doesn't do well in All In, but it doesn't destroy her. She was somewhat broken already.
