Lionel excelled at Doctor Stuff (tm), but took the opposite fork from Simon Tam. He conducted experiements that were highly ethically dubious, but he was and is convinced that these were vitally important for medical progress and the greater good of humanity.

He's got fairly low empathy (the non-psychic variety, if you please), but can fake it. This doesn't mean patients won't see beneath the veneer, but professionals and those who have the power to give large monetary grants respond well to the surface charm.

Lionel's marriage broke apart maybe a year before his professional problems. His wife made it humiliatingly clear that Lionel just wasn't satisfying her needs. I suspect that any arrangements for the divorce were handled through proxies and the like, and someone looking at the records would probably think that the couple handled this all somewhat coldly, but maturely. This someone clearly didn't see all the shattered objects d'art and furniture and the like.

After that, Lionel probably threw himself even more into his work, and may have taken a few more risks than he should have. At some point, someone discovered exactly what he was up to, and the shit hit the fan.

Lionel thinks a lot of people were hypocrites here, from the other project members who made him their fall guy to medical colleagues who publically decried what he was doing, while conducting similar experiments, to the righeous men and women who profited from his researches.

Somehow, his notes got scattered -- probably he wasn't allowed back into his workplace -- so, he's trying to retrieve them. Without his notes, all of the work is for nothing!
