"CSI" - "Lost & Found" - May 6, 2010It's a girl's night out for a trio of bachelorette-party gals swigging from a champagne bottle as they drive down the highway at night. The bride to be flashes a truck driver as they pass. An oncoming car forces the girls to swerve into the desert and they hit a woman in the desert. Langston interviews the girls who are not remorseful. The bride gives up the driver, Julie.Nick and Ray look over the totaled car. They try to figure out what the victim was doing alone in the middle of nowhere.Brass goes to the hospital to see her. She's stable but unable to talk. He knows her, her names is Janet Marsh, a friend of his. A few years back her husband and kids went missing on the same stretch of road. She was looking for them.He says this is the case that won't let him go. He has a family photo in his wallet. He explains to Nick she came home one night and the family was gone. She called the police and they found the husband's car with the husband and daughter's blood in the car. Not enough to confirm death but foul play. Then the case went cold. Janet kept going to the crime scene.There were no suspects but Brass liked the brother who had a lot of debt and a lot of insurance. He had an airtight alibi though.Ray and Greg look over the scene, tire treads, etc. They find the victim's flashlight with blood on the grip.Brass goes to speak to Janet. He asks her what happened. Nick comes in to document her injuries and collect her clothes. Brass says he'll come back to drive her home.Nick takes his pictures. She says she's not going to press charges against the girls. She knows Brass told Nick her story and she think Nick pities her. He says he doesn't. He says he understands and he would keep looking for his family if the same thing happened to him. She says during the accident she heard someone calling her and it sounded like her son. She said she was out there because she had a lead on the case, from a psychic. She says he probably thinks it's hocus pocus. He says he's learned to keep an open mind. The psychic said her son was dry but near water. She thinks he may be underground near some springs. She cries and says he wants her to find him. Nick asks about her husband and daughter, she says she doesn't feel them like her son.Wendy examines the bloody flashlight. She calls in Greg. She found old blood and tissue inside the rim as well as new blood on the grip. Greg goes to Catherine and Nick. It turns out that the blood belongs to her son. Greg is freaked that she could've been looking for them all this time with the flashlight that killed him. Catherine says if that's the murder weapon than Janet's the prime suspect. Nick thinks she's too grief-stricken to be the perp. Catherine says guilt can masquerade as grief and it if was the father they were talking about it wouldn't be a question of them bringing him in.At the Marsh house, Brass, Greg and Nick come to investigate. The house still has all kinds of family photos around. Nick asks where she got the flashlight. She says it was in the car. She wonders why they're asking about it. They tell her about the blood. They ask for permission to process the house. They give it. They notice she has a police scanner. She says she hardly listens to it anymore. Brass takes Janet to lunch while they search.Nick and Catherine go over the old evidence. She had an alibi but time to do the murder, but if she did it, she had to have help. The marriage was rocky. They wonder if she was cheating but there was no evidence. She called her brother a lot. And Brass thought he was involved but he had an alibi. Ray wonders if killing her family split her mind and she keeps wandering the highways out of guilt. Or she's a cold-blooded murderer trying to keep suspicion away offer Catherine.Greg takes photos in Emily's room. He picks up a journal and starts reading. Nick looks in Andy's room. He finds stacks of "Zoo Planet" magazine, current ones. Nick thinks she just "quit living" the night her family disappeared. The daughter's journal talks about a guy who loves her and really understands her, especially since her mom loved Andy better. There's no mention of the name of the guy.Janet and Brass take a walk. She says she thinks somehow Andy got away. She wonders if he ever gave up on Ellie. He thinks Ellie gave up on him. He tells her that she has to learn to let go.Bill Cornwell, Janet's brother comes over to the house and Nick chats with him. He says he's been taking care of Janet since the murders and she hasn't been right since then. He says he didn't know of a boyfriend and that the dad was very protective so she probably wouldn't have brought one home.Ray comes over to lend a hand and he and Nick check the garage. It's frozen in time like the rest of the house. Ray gets a blood hit on a wall. Above the garage they find a trail to a footlocker with a leak over it: dry but near water. There is a boy's skeleton inside. They call Brass who asks to be kept posted. He tells Janet. She breaks down that her son was with her all the time.Robbins processes the skeleton. Ray comes in and says he's against the death penalty except child killers. Robbins thinks they should be tortured first. There isn't much to work with but the cause of death was blunt force trauma, consistent with a flashlight blow.Conrad Ecklie is telling Brass they have to arrest Janet, they have to go by the book and they want to see what she says when she's talking to someone she doesn't know. Ecklie and Nick interrogate her as Brass watches through the two-way glass. (Simultaneously Ray is printing the footlocker). They kept Andy's camping stuff in the locker, which was her husband's from Desert Stom. They liked to camp. She tells of one trip with the family and her brother, who spent more time with her kids than their own dad. Emily was being "difficult" she says so they brought her home. She knows they think she did it but she says all she does is search for them and it's making her crazy and it's got to stop. She doesn't say she didn't do it though.Ray's prints turn up one unknown print. Greg gets a brainstorm and goes to grab one evidence they found in Emily's room, one of those ceramic hand print things. They print that and discover a match of a living 18-year-old girl going by a new name.Brass goes to find her. She has a baby. He arrests her.Back at HQ Nick gives the kid, Connor, a lollipop. He licks one and Nick grabs his DNA.Catherine talks to Emily and takes her DNA. She asks what happened and who the father is but Emily doesn't answer.Nick and Ray discover Emily was living with her dad, under a different name, as her "husband" who is the father of her baby, his own grandson. (Gross).Brass explains to Janet the new developments, or at least that they're alive and that Emily has a child, not the last part. But she seems to figure it out on her own.They bring the husband in. As he's walking down the hall he says to leave his daughter alone and that he killed his son. Janet overhears this. Freaks. Runs into a hallway, grabs a cop's gun and shoots her husband calling him a sick bastard who was supposed to protect their children. Emily runs out crying for her daddy. Janet looks sickly pleased by this. Brass is flabbergasted.It turns that Mike wasn't the dad, Uncle Bill. Emily explains that she didn't want Uncle Bill over but her mother vetoed her, and he molested her, even while she was pregnant. That night he came over while the parents were out. Andy saw and says he was gonna tell mom. It drove her crazy and she just wanted him to shut up and she hit with the flashlight. When dad got home she explained everything. The dad engineered the cover-up and running away (which we see). She says he was just trying to protect her and he didn't do anything wrong. She cries hard, saying she loved her brother and that she's sorry.Brass tells Janet the D.A. isn't pressing charges against Emily. Janet says Emily will be a better mother than her. She hopes one day Emily can forgive her. They cart her off in handcuffs. Brass is sad at how it turned out. Uncle Bill is led down another corridor in cuffs. Nick brings Connor back to Emily.

"CSI" - "Meat Jekyll" - May 20, 2010It's daytime in Vegas and a police escort is bringing in the notorious Dick and Jane Killer Nate Haskell to the crime lab.Brass is majorly PO'ed that this decision did not go through him and Catherine went over his head. Ray says Haskell has information on Jekyll and if he's uncooperative they'll send him back post haste.Haskell parries and thrusts with them- needling them for naming the killer Jekyll when that was the good guy in the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde equation- but eventually gives up that he has a souvenir from the night he met his fellow killer, although he didn't know that's who he was at the time.The gang pulls out Haskell's old evidence and finds a piece of bow tie pasta with a single spaghetti string cincher, which looks exactly like the bow tie that Jekyll tied in his first victim. It turns out Haskell had dinner at a restaurant the same night as most of Jekyll's victims and actually got to meet the chef aka the killer. We see a grainy flashback of this complete with the piano player, the rich guy, and the engineer. Jekyll's face is blurred.(In the course of the early part of the investigation we subtly learn that Catherine and Vartan are indeed dating as they murmur over coffee about not wanting to get out of bed that morning. Nick overhears and gently gives her a hard time.)He can't cough up a name, and demands a steak dinner for anymore info, but they get to investigating and discover it was a place called Venetti's. The place has fallen into disrepair but it has one of those walls of photos with regular customers and all of the victims are there.Ray goes back with a list of employee names but before Haskell will cough it up he has more request, a stripper. (He's serving two life sentence so he's trying to maximize his enjoyment outside his sell.) Halfway through the dance Ray forces him to pick a name and Haskell picks a guy who's been in jail for the last five years. Brass is annoyed that he continues to mess with them but Ray knows it's some kind of clue.Ray receives a package from his dad, whose been dead for ten years. Before opening it they scan to make sure it's not a bomb. Inside is a weird bundle from Jekyll including Ray's old CSI ID - stolen when Jekyll knocked him out- some weird looking beef (human??) jerky, and some weird drawings on the meat and a threat. It also has the numbers of John Doe in the morgue. They find him. He was stabbed and maybe an early Jekyll botch.Back at Venetti's Greg and Sara continue to investigate. The back door has been opened recently. Nick texts Sarah and asks to find their John Doe on the wall of fame. He is, with a man in a lot of the other pictures. They find human blood back in the kitchen. They have found Jekyll's operating room. The blood belongs to the pianist and the John Doe.The weird bundle he sent Ray seems to have clever clues that point to his next victim, dying painfully and slowly with a device inserted via the groin.In his cell Haskell taunts his guard who tells him to shut the hell up. He keeps after him in other ways and tells him that he's been screwing with Ray and the others but he can make this cop a hero by giving him the real info about Jekyll. He cons him into coming closer so he'll shock him so he can fall to the ground, break his glasses, and pocket one of the pieces.Hodges and Wendy tell Catherine that the meat is prosciutto; actually it's the more expensive proscuitto di Parma, which Hodges can tell by the way it has been cured. Hodges & Wendy are working very close together on the case, in more ways than one. Greg and Sara are investigating employees. They hit the streets to talk to those working in high end Italian restaurants where they'd use fancy prosciutto.Nick and Ray head to one called Trattoria Dimasa. They meet Giovanni, aka "Papa," the owner. He did used to work at Venetti's. The cook is named Charlie and he also came from Venetti's. He's Papa son and they learn he wanted to be a doctor. Papa starts looking peakid and in pain. They realize he's the latest vic. Charlie realizes that they realize this at the same time and shoots the uniform with them and then shoots Nick who hits the deck.Ray is hiding behind a table near Papa as Jekyll taunts him and says he doesn't care about going to jail or dying he just wants to watch his father die. Charlie taunts his father and screams at him about how his father killed his dreams of wanting to be a doctor. He killed all the others because they were "heroes" to his father. The father, in increasing agony, tearfully admits he guilted Charlie into dropping out of med school because he was lonely and needed his son after his wife (Charlie's mother) died.Ray keeps talking- about his own drunk/abusive father and how he let him die on the living room floor --until Nick, who was hit but was only playing dead, can reach his gun and shoot Jekyll good and dead.The gang visits Nick in the hospital and he's going to be A-okay as is Jekyll's dad. Nick asks if that story about Ray's dad was true. Nope, Ray says he performed an emergency tracheotomy on him only to watch him die of lung cancer two years later.In the lab, Hodges tells Wendy that Nick will be all right because he asked them to bring him a pizza. Wendy asks Henry, who is in the room with them, if he'd like to join them. A sad look on his face, he declines.Ray goes to say goodbye to Haskell and asks for a moment alone. Haskell is annoyed they killed Jekyll and taunts Ray about his daddy issues. As Ray says goodbye and turns away, Haskell reaches out from his cell and grabs him by the neck and stabs him repeatedly in the back with a shank. The last image of the season is Ray bleeding on the floor.

"CSI" - "Shock Waves" - Sept. 23, 2010We pick up at the moment we left off with Ray crumpling to the ground after being stabbed in the back by Haskell.The paramedics rush in and take care of him.Or do they? We cut to a funeral where the grieving family is African-American. But, holy bait and switch, it is the funeral of Officer Clark the person who was killed by Jekyll in the Italian restaurant after Nick told him to go check out the back. Brass approaches Nick as Clark is eulogized; the family has asked him to leave.Hurt and sad he goes to his car. He notices a van with tons of cockroaches milling about it. Checking it out he sees a bomb detonator under the car. He goes to warn the mourners but as he does a bomb explodes out of the grave. Panic ensues and then another bomb goes off on a tombstone. Folks scramble toward Nick's position on the road but he stops them by firing into the ground and yelling that there's another bomb. Just as he does the van explodes behind him, sending him flying.The aftermath is bad, two dead officers,12 wounded. Nick is dazed and deaf, and his shooting injury is reinjured. Catherine tells him to go home. He mentions the roaches and a clicking noise from the detonator they must've been attracted to. He's sad his suit has been ruined until Greg points out that his car has also been destroyed.Brass comes over and says this is their fault for letting Haskell, the assumed bomber, out of jail.Brass goes to visit Ray who, despite his pain, asks for his laptop and cell phone so he can work the case. The doctor tells Brass Ray lost a kidney. Brass visits Haskell, who was beaten to a pulp and is in a nearby room, but Haskell gives him nothing but sass.At the scene we meet British bomb tech Casey Monahan who is going over the grid with the other CSIs. Nick finds a cellphone detonator and they determined the first two bombs were to cause panic and send people towards the third bomb for maximum destruction.They work it out at the station that the bomber wasn't Haskell-- it's not his MO- and it was someone with an axe to grind with the police.At the lab Nick struggles physically as he puts evidence together. Catherine tells him to go home and get rest since they don't want to blow the case because he's burned out. She also gives him the card of the department shrink. He protests but she says after Warrick died she thought she could distract herself with work but that there's not enough work in the world to heal a wound like that and she had to talk to someone. She asks if he would want himself backing himself up right now, is he stable enough to be there for his fellow cops. He takes the card.David and Doc Robbins are processing the bodies from the funeral. Robbins finds a SIM card in the destroyed body of Officer Clark. On it they find the phone number of a recently killed in action Marine. The wife tells Brass the phone was donated to a community center.As Brass and a phalanx of cops and CSIs pull up to said community center a rally of sorts is being held by anti-government/anti-tax types led by a Dr. Huxbee who tells the rowdy crowd that they need to assert their rights. In the crowd is a teen-- played by pop hearthrob Justin Bieber- who is angry that the man who took him and his older brother in was arrested recently. The cops bust in and a riot breaks out.Sara, who now has a bandage on her hand from throwing down at the community center, visits Ray. They work out that the bomber was in or near the crime scene. Ray shows her footage on his laptop of a radio controlled airplane, they figure out whoever was flying it was the bomber.Nick processes the riot crowd including Bieber.Greg goes to look for the plane at the scene and finds it in a tree. He's later able to get a print off of it and Monahan figures out how the detonator works and explains it was this device that gave off the clicking sound.The print belongs to Bieber's older brother. They interrogate Bieber who says he had nothing to do with the bombings, all he did was buy the plane and he didn't realize so many people would get hurt but he and his brother were mad about their caretaker's arrest. He gives up his brother's location.Nick and Monahan go to investigate.The brother isn't there but all of his bomb-making supplies are. They figure that since he was out of a vital ingredient, hydrochloric acid, he must have gone shopping. They figure out where the store is and descend on him as he exits. Instead of surrendering he pulls a gun and the cops shoot him. Catherine opens up his nearby car and finds plans to blow up the police department building. Lou points out that she is a hero by tracking him down.Robbins visits Ray in the hospital and gives him a cane. He tells him after he lost his legs he had to give up a few dreams but he can still dance with his wife and shoot hoops and one day Ray will be okay too. They talk about the nature of control and surrendering to the idea that they can't always have it. Ray breaks down into tears and Robbins comforts him.Nick calls the shrink.Catherine gets a call and she, Greg, Lou, and David go to check it out. A homeless man has been killed in a warehouse. They're curious that he seems to have been dragged into the middle of a room for no reason. As she and David look at the body, Greg and Lou go into another room to follow the blood trail. Lou's flashlight is dying and he asks Greg for batteries.Greg hands some over and Lou drops one and it goes rolling across the floor. As he scrambles after it Catherine realizes the body is covering up a detonator that will set something off in the other room. She screams for Greg and Lou to not touch anything just as the bomb goes off. She and David rush in and Greg and Lou are fine, just shaken up.Catherine looks at the flames and destruction and realizes that although they arrested the older brother, it's not over.Cut to a shot of Bieber in a jail cell looking satisfied and sinister.

"CSI" - "Pool Shark" - Sept. 30, 2010Somehow a tiger shark gets into the pool at the Golden Nugget and kills a young woman. (There's a huge aquarium with tons of fish, including sharks, in the interior of the fancy pool).When the CSIs arrive Dr. Holloway, an aquatic veterinarian, is getting the shark out of the pool.All four sharks are accounted for in the pool aquarium tank. The Golden Nugget owner, an old school dude named Boozell arrives hopping mad that his pool/day club has been closed. He recognizes Catherine as "Sam's little girl" and gets snippy with her. He's mad about losing money and she tells him to step off until the investigation is done. Catherine tells Nick that Boozell is "the biggest shark in Vegas."Casino and pool video offer nothing due to blind spots.Nick and Sara investigate those blind spots, including a back door that leads to the pool and find a half-smoked blunt.Hodges welcomes Wendy back from her trip to Portland. He wants to pick up where they left off but she wants to talk later and seems to be acting weird.Ray returns to the lab rocking the cane Robbins gave him. He and Robbins examine the dead girl's body and find a shark tooth with no blood on it. Which is weird, until they realize she was dead already.The blunt traces to Method Man, who is playing a day club promoter called Drops. Brass and Nick bring him in to question him about the murder. He says that back door is where they bring in the deejay equipment and it makes no sense for him to sabotage the Boozell, who gave him a job after he got out of jail. It especially makes no sense since while the pool is closed all the business is going to the day club across the street owned by a dude named Macklin who fired Drops. Why help the competition?Catherine interviews Boozell about his longstanding rivalry with Macklin. Boozell thinks he's a suspect and points out it wouldn't make sense for him to put shark in his own pool. Catherine waits as he puts two and two together and realizes it was Macklin who sabotaged him.Ray and Robbins determine that what really killed the woman in the pool was an overdose of heroin and they theorize someone swam up under her body as she lay on a float in the pool and injected her with the drugs into her back. The little drop of blood that came out with the injection attracted the shark.Ray and Nick look at video of the pool and there are no clear shots of Desiree. What they can determine is all the bling she was wearing at the beginning of the day is jewelry missing when her dead body is pulled from the water.In the locker room Henry tells Hodges that Wendy has been confiding in him. Hodges can't believe this. Wendy arrives looking sheepish. It's time to talk. Henry leaves and she tells Hodges she got a new job. In Portland. She's going to get to be a field mouse and not a lab rat. He congratulates her. He's mad to be the last to know. But she designed it that way so he wouldn't try to convince her to stay. They hug. She cries and says goodbye. She leaves him in the locker room, sad.Catherine goes to talk to Macklin. She informs him that he is the prime suspect. He says all his sharks are accounted for. She gets nothing and leaves.Hodges and Henry scour the bottom of the pool and talk about Wendy. They start to argue and begin fighting. Hodges holds Henry under the water, where he finds the murder weapon, the hypodermic needle.Nick examines it at the lab. He gets a print and gets a match on a woman named Anya Sanchez.Brass picks her up and she has tons of stolen jewelry. Brass and Nick lean on her and she's all confident saying she knows the game and tries to bribe them with pieces, which were Desiree's, the dead girl from the pool. She cops to the heroin injection so she could steal the jewelry. They inform her that it's not just robbery, it's murder since the injection killed Desiree.Nick tells Catherine that Anya's the murderer but they still have to figure out who put the shark in the pool, which is attempted murder.Robbins, Ray, and Dr. Holloway autopsy the shark and pull out Desiree's arm. Holloway says the shark is definitely from the wild, probably Florida, but can't tell where this one came from. They thank him and he leaves. But after he does they find freshly cut pieces of fish in its belly and realize Holloway was lying and that the shark was shark-napped from a casino. The place where it's VIN-number like tag was has been sanded down. They examine that bit under special light and find its tag. It's Macklin's shark.Ray and Catherine visit Macklin with the evidence. He admits he had a shark with a tapeworm "checked out" by Holloway. Boozell busts in and the men start to fight. Catherine orders them all out. When Boozell gets outside he has a boot on his car.Nick and Sara go to find Holloway. He's dead in Macklin's tank, which is in his lobby, which tourists are now taking pictures of.Robbins tells Nick that Holloway was poisoned. Nick brings the tank to Hodges to test. He is bereft over Wendy, but he gets to work and figures out the poison was carbon monoxide, someone filled his tank with car exhaust. They figure it was a vintage auto, which points to Boozell as the culprit. Boozell says Macklin invited him to dinner the previous night and they squashed their beef and he promises he's not responsible for Holloway's death. (You'll recall his car had a boot, however, so he didn't drive away with it and the threw his keys to the valets and told them to bring it to him once the boot was off).Catherine sits at her desk and tries to figure it out. She recalls a time her dad told her that just because folks say a beef is squashed doesn't mean it is.Sara and Catherine go to Macklin's and find a hose in the dumpster near the restaurant where he and Boozell had dinner. The valet says he doesn't know anything about it. Except the ATM across the way caught the valet guy attaching the hose from Boozell's car to the scuba tank. They bring in Macklin and lay out exactly what he did and tell him he's going down.Catherine goes to visit Boozell, who basically apologizes to her and compliments her on her having her dad's best qualities and not his worst. She thanks him.

"CSI" - "Blood Moon" - Oct. 7, 2010Catherine and Vartan make out as we cross cut to a guy being chased by something unseen through the woods. They get it on. He is apparently slashed to death.Later the duo, in separate cars, go to investigate the murder in the woods. The guy has been decapitated, his body attached to a fence and his head on a nearby stake. It's pretty awful. Langston points out the dude was alive when his head was chopped off. They theorize it might be some weird cult killing but Langston isn't convinced until he looks in the sky and sees a blood moon, which some see as a precursor to the end of days. Catherine points out it was for this guy.They go back to the scene in the light of day. There's no evidence to be had anywhere and they don't know how the guy got out there. A gross bug crawls out of the head. There is other stuff in the mouth too, some hair. They hope it's from the attacker.Back at the lab Robbins and David pull the head off the pike and examine it. Robbins does the head, David the body.Sara and Ray also photograph and examine the body, noting abrasions on his hands and stabbings on the torso. They notice he's been completely waxed. They find a little bead of it left behind.There's no hit on the guy's prints in the system. Catherine and Vartan discuss the case and the next minute he asks her to move in with him so he can cook for her. She's taken aback. Hodges overhears this to Catherine's chagrin.Vartan leaves and Hodges gives Catherine the lowdown on the wax. They trace it to the Mediterranean Hotel. He was waxed there. Ray and Nick go to his room, which has been trashed. They assume they'll be surveillance video. The man, named Wilson, was there to get married, sadly. From receipts they realize the wedding is today. (And it's actually today's date.) They go to the "Unity" room and a bunch of what appear to be vampires bare their fangs and hiss at them.Of course they're not real vampires. Catherine and Ray interview them, the lead guy keeps pretending to be a vampire. His fiance is sad. The best man, Ethan, says Michael, the victim, was very happy and there was no bachelor party, just meditation. The fiance blames herself. They explain it's a "covens and clans" convention, where vampires and, unfortunately, werewolves gather together. They have similar scars on their hands, they say they don't suck blood just let a little out together as a group ritual to bind them all together. (They're wearing funky red contact lenses too. They are goofy).Sara and Greg chat about Van Helsing as they examine Michael's skull. They think maybe someone thought he was a real vampire and that's why they cut off his head. They realize a single tool made all the cuts. Probably an axe or hatchet.Nick walks around the nutty convention and reports to Ray that Michael walked out under his own power. Ray turns and shows Nick he's got on the fangs and contact lenses. He's enjoying it, says it makes him feel powerful. They discuss what the appeal of pretending to be a vampire. They notice a head on a stake in front them in front of guy selling from an arsenal of weapons. The guy is Andy Dick, who claims he's an descendant of Van Helsing and that he's claimed real vampires. They ask how he'd decapitate a vampire. He shows them a fancy sword. They ask after axes. He shows them one but he says he hasn't sold any. They buy it and Ray uses it to whack a dummy back at the lab. Nick comes in and gives it a try. They're trying to recreate the wounds on the victim. Nick gets the head off. He and Ray look at the skull and notice that it was whacked from all sides and they envision how it was done and think he might not have been alone.Hodges ran the hair, it's wolf hair. He says to Catherine maybe it's werewolf hair! She is skeptical. Hodges thinks it was probably one of their dogs. Hodges asks if Catherine will be moving into Vartan's house or vice versa. She points out it's none of his business. He points out that he had love in his grasp and let it slip away which is a terrible thing to wake up to. She says she'll keep it in mind.Greg gets a hit on the dog hair. It belongs to a guy named Kurt at the convention who is the head of a "werewolf pack."At the hotel Kurt is with a bunch of friends and hitting on a waitress hard. They are wearing yellow contact lenses, like the ones they found in the victim's hotel room. Nick and Ray show up and save her and Ray gets the dude in a death grip.At the station Nick and Ray interrogate him about Wilson and the hair they found in his mouth. He's all goofy about vampires vs. werewolves, the elite sophisticates and wild animals etc. He has no alibi because he claims he "shifted" on the night of the murder. He claims he woke up in his car in the parking garage.Sara and Greg investigate the car and find chains that match the ligature marks on Wilson's wrists. They find blood spatter on the truck. Greg traces it back to the victim: someone drank his blood and then puked it up in Kurt's car. Turns out a vampire was hanging with a werewolf. The vampire is actually kind of a vampire, someone who has a blood-related disease in which they actually do have to drink blood.Ray goes to Michael's memorial service to get some answers. But first he speechifies about vampirism and science. Nick pulls back a curtain to let in the light so they can find the person with the blood disease, it's the serious dude, Thomas, that was comforting Michael's fiance earlier.Thomas says Michael was already dead when he found him, lured into the woods by the wolves and he just drank his blood for spiritual reasons. They point out that the evidence seems to point to him and Kurt killing Michael together. He lawyers up.Sara and Ray examine Kurt and Thomas' clothes for blood evidence. They find it, but it's scant. But it does prove they were there. They realize someone else must have been there.They go back to the scene to look for more evidence of where the chase started. They find several items including a ripped up photo of Kurt and a hatchet.When they put the photo back together they see Michael in the photo. It's from last year's convention and it runs out Michael used to be a werewolf. He fell for a vampire so became one and hoped no one would recognize him with his new look. They theorize that Kurt and Thomas teamed up to kill a common enemy.Ray and Sara examine the hatchet and find interesting markings. They trace it to Michael's fiance. They bring her in and shake her down and she confesses. She was pissed he lied about switching teams so gladly took a part in giving him some whacks at Thomas' urging. Especially after he pointed out that the whole vampire/werewolf thing is silly and what mattered was that they loved each other. She turns down an opportunity to avoid the death penalty by turning on Thomas and Kurt.Vartan asks Catherine again about moving in. She hesitates and says what they have now awesome and if they move in together they'll start to argue and they're both armed. He says he's willing to risk it. She says she isn't and wonders if they can't just enjoy what they have now. He says yes, he'll take it.Ray and Nick watch "Nosferatu" and talk about evil. Ray points out if there was no evil, they'd be out of a job. Nick gets a page for a triple homicide and they're back in business.

"CSI" - "Cello and Goodbye" - May 5, 2011Nate is having dinner with Ray's ex-wife Gloria in L.A. and her new husband Phil and his "wife." Gloria and Phil have welcomed their "new neighbors" unwittingly. Nate poisons their drinks. (We cut to Ray who is sleeping restlessly back in Vegas.) Haskell smashes in Phil's head with a bottle. (Ray awakens and showers). We cut to blood pouring down a shower drain but it's Nate Haskell's, or whose ever blood is all over him. He screams. Catherine calls Ray and says the cops have found a John Doe in L.A. that looks like Haskell's work.Ray and Catherine head to Hollywood and meet up with an LAPD detective named Sosa and the female SID person Brody who called them and gave them the heads up. The body is in a dumpster and has been eaten at extensively by rats. When the body is turned Ray recognizes that it's Phll.The cops go to Phil and Gloria's house, which is destroyed and covered in blood. Catherine tells Ray she doesn't think he should be there. When he sees all the blood he gets woozy. Then he sees a box, from Haskell to him, a postcard and a gift box, inside is Gloria's engagement ring and a copy of "Gloria In Excelsis Deo" sheet music.With help from Greg back in Vegas surveillance video shows Haskell and his latest "bride" Tina Vincent driving away from the scene in Phil and Gloria's car.Ray and Catherine survey the scene and Catherine tries to reassure him but Ray thinks she's already dead. He opts out of the investigation and Catherine says she'll call Sara.On the way back to the airport Ray has flashes of remembrances of interviewing Haskell in prison. He has the cop pull over at an L.A. bar, saying he wants a drink before flying back to Vegas. He downs a shot and calls and leaves a message for someone, he says the person is the only person he can talk to and will truly understand what he "has to do" since the only person he has ever loved is dead. We see Robbins playing a tape of the message for Nick cross cut with Ray, after at least one more shot, exiting the bar from the back away from the eyes of the patrol car waiting for him.Sara and Catherine are running the crime scene. Catherine notes that SID Brody seems familiar. Sara and Brody discuss high velocity blood spatter. Brody hears something and notices flies and realizes they corrupted the blood spatter. They surmise that Gloria was alive when Haskell took her and made the scene look even worse to make Ray feel bad.Sosa locates some evidence and reports to Catherine that Ray ditched his escort and wonders if he's unstable and/or armed. We cut to Ray buying a gun, with no serial number, in a pawn shop, and a laptop. He also takes a postcard like the one Haskell left him of the Willoughby Observatory.Catherine calls in Nick for help to find Ray who tells her about the phone message.Social networking sites show that Phil and Gloria met Haskell at a benefit concert. Haskell was calling himself Willoughby J. Willoughby. Greg informs him that the real WJW was a famous L.A. benefactor who shot his wife, long dead. They theorize that Haskell wanted Ray to come out and play.Ray heads to a famous WJW location, the Penwick Hotel, gun in hand and Tina sees him and runs. He grabs her from behind and says "you know why I'm here."Nick arrives at the hotel, meets Sosa and Catherine. It is now apparently a crime scene. Tina Vincent is dead. Shot repeatedly and beaten, likely, for information. On the floor Nick finds tickets with "you never forget your first" written in blood on the back. Sosa wants his people to process the scene. Sosa theorizes maybe Ray did this. As Catherine and Nick are booted Brody catches up to them and sends him a text with the info from the ticket on it. Catherine figures out why Brody looks familiar: She's Conrad Eckley's daughter. She took her stepdad's name.Brody shows the evidence from Tina's scene. The people in the room were Haskell, Tina, and Ray. Sosa points an angry finger at Ray whose blood is found at the scene. They can't be sure it's his DNA though since it's not in the system. Nick tracks him down and asks him what happened.Ray explains that he chased Tina into the room, slapped her around a bit. But that was all, she gave him one of the tickets, told him Haskell wanted to have it and that it was written in Gloria's blood. He says he didn't do anything else to hurt her. Nick explains that Haskell did then when he returned. Ray realizes that Haskell is making him a fugitive, isolating him. Nick says they need to get back on the side of right.Nick has Greg run the numbers on the raffle tickets and Hodges expresses his worries about Ray. The tickets came from the Santa Monica Pier. They were for the carousel: Ray's first date with Gloria was at a carousel in Baltimore. Info that Haskell must've tortured out of her. Ray goes into the carousel while Nick covers him. The carousel starts up and Ray sees Nate amidst the revolving horses. Haskell is disappointed when he sees Nick. Nick tries to shoot him but Haskell gets away. Ray runs after him, seemingly seeing him everywheer. Then NIck really does spot him and pulls his gun. A cop stops him, Nick tries to convince him that he's making a big mistake but drops his gun and is led away in cuffs. Ray spots Haskell who has his own. When a cop spots Ray he tries to disarm but Haskell shoots the cop. Haskell points out if Ray shoots him he might not find Gloria, who he says is still alive. Cops surround Ray and Haskell gets away.Sosa reads Ray the riot act in interrogation. He tells Ray he has to talk to him or he has to go back to Vegas. He asks if he's being charged with a crime and Sosa walks out in disgust. Ray smiles a the camera, at Catherine and Sara in the other room. Sosa tells them he's not sending them home but he doesn't want anymore surprises. Catherine yells at Ray and Nick. She tells Ray to go back to Vegas. Nick tells Ray they'll get him.Brody and Sara look at sand and paint chip evidence in an effort to find Haskell.Ray arrives back in Vegas and is picked up by Robbins. Ray is locked out of his computer at work and coerces Hodges into logging in for him. They look up WJW. Greg is also drafted to help. WJW turned out to be a bigamist, the wife survived the shooting, which was witnessed by the other wife Audrey Thorpe and her son Arvin Thorpe. Greg figures out the building they're looking for. Ray also discovers a Nevada connection to the son. He distracts Hodges and looks on the computer for some info, calling up last week's case out at the Thorpe farm. With the help of some old yearbooks he deduces that Nate Haskell is actually Warner Thorpe, son of Arvin Thorpe, grandson of Audrey Thorpe.Sosa, Sara, Catherine, and Nick head to the hospital where they think Haskell is holed up.Hodges returns and realizes Langston is gone and looks at the evidence trail he left behind.Ray goes to the old house and discovers a trail of the tickets with "you never forget your first" written on them.We cross cut between the two investigation scenes.Nick and Sosa come across a blood crime scene in the hospital. A patient, it would seem, is on a table hooked up to machines. They uncover it and it's a dummy with the sign "made you look" on it.Ray follows the ticket trail at the house in Nevada. He discovers Arvin Thorpe, beaten and bloodied. He dies in Ray's presence. He calls for back-up. He finds Gloria, chained up in a nearby bedroom. As he's undoing her, Nate enters, with a gun and says "welcome home, Ray."To be continued...

"CSI" - "In a Dark, Dark House" - May 12, 2011We pick up where we left off with Haskell (guest star Bill Irwin) holding a gun on Ray (Laurence Fishburne) and Gloria (guest star Tracee Ellis Ross).Ray calls him Warner and asks who Nate Haskell was. Haskell freaks, Ray disarms him and starts to beat his face and stops. Nate asks him what's the matter, they're just getting started. Ray says they're done and he flips and cuffs him. He goes to Gloria to reassure her. Haskell asks Ray to ask Gloria what he did to her. She moans. Ray pulls out a switchblade and slices off Haskell's plastic cuffs.We jump forward in time to Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) finding Haskell's dead body with cuff marks. He recuffs him with metal cuffs even though he's dead. He finds Ray with Gloria, they share a stare.More patrol cars arrive on the scene.Ray tries to talk to Gloria, saying it's over and he's not going to leave her and everything's going to be fine. Brass tells Ray not to say anything to anybody. They gingerly step over Haskell's body. Ray and Gloria get in a squad car. Greg (Eric Szmanda) and Sara (Jorja Fox) arrive as they drive off.Sara, Brass, and Greg look at Haskell's body. Brass calls it a classic case of self-defense and they need to gave Ray all the help they can since internal affairs will be all over it.At the hospital Ray is assuring Gloria she's going to be fine as they go into the ER. Catherine and Nick meet him at the hospital. They say they have to process his and Gloria's clothes. As Nick (George Eads) photographs Ray's hands and takes evidence he tells Ray he saved Gloria's life and that's all matters. He asks what the white powder on his hands is. Ray doesn't know.Ecklie (Marc Vann) chats with the IA guy, Det. Schulz. Ecklie thinks it will be straightforward, Schulz isn't so sure. Ecklie brushes him off.Sara and Greg process the crime scene. They determine Haskell was thrown through the bannister with great force.Haskell's dad was also beaten before he was shot and stabbed.Sara follows the blood trail into the room where Gloria was held and likely tortured, judging by the devices over the bed.Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) processes Gloria including a rape kit. Gloria was indeed raped, brutally. As well as stabbed. She also has the white powder on her hands. Catherine tries to give her a pep talk, saying she survived and Haskell is dead. Gloria is near catatonic.Greg and Sara find the gun that likely shot dad and Tina Vincent in L.A. They pull off the wallpaper in the room, realizing it covers lots of old blood on what was probably Haskell's childhood home. Nate Haskell might have died in the house, says Sara, but a serial killer was born there.Nick joins in the investigation at the scene. He and Sara realize Haskell's dad was in on it when he was a kid, at least covering it up, if not participating in it. Each room is a horror scene of leftover blood. They wonder if there might be more bodies, in the floors, walls, basement, and yard.The doctor is talking to Ray when Gloria's mother (guest star L. Scott Caldwell) shows up and freaks out and demands that Ray be thrown out since he's the one responsible for bringing this monster into Gloria's life. She says she's taking her daughter back to Baltimore, against the doctor's advice.Greg and Sara try to differentiate all the blood spatter in the house: Haskell, Gloria, Ray, and Haskell's dad Thorpe. It's almost all Haskell's blood.They determine Ray beat Haskell pretty well on his back. Sara thinks Ray probably had control and Ray threw him through the bannister. Greg tries to defend him. Sara reminds him they're looking for the truth.Nick, assisted by Henry (Jon Wellner) and Hodges (Wallace Langham), had only found pet skeletons when Becklie shows up. And then they find a human body. Ecklie, who had been a C.S.I and still has his kit in his vehicle, offers to lend a hand.Schulz visits CSI HQ. Catherine says he'll get their report when they have it. She says he's getting ahead of the evidence.Catherine meets with Robbins (Rober David Hall) with the bodies in the autopsy room. She asks if there's something on Haskell's body that will vindicate Ray from cold-blooded murder. He tries to make a case for all injuries being from the fight. He notes the cuff marks not consistent with Brass's metal cuffs. He somewhat angrily says he told Schulz what he's telling her, none of the other injuries will change his cause of death.Ray arrives and asks to look at Gloria's sexual assault kit. She tells him not to. He says he needs to. It, obviously, upsets him. (For what it's worth he doesn't have a mark on his face, which he lays down to cry.)The body in the yard is an adult female, dead at least a decade. There's another, an adult male. A traveling salesman. The salesman's name? Douglas Nathan Haskell. They extrapolate these killings were Haskell (and maybe his dad) crafting his future style.Ray, Nick, and Robbins look over the bodies. The female body was his mother, who was killed by the father they figure since "Nate" was only 8. We flash back to "Nate's" first kill.Catherine asks Sara about what happened between Ray and Haskell. Sara tells the truth that Ray should've reasonably been able to restrain him. Catherine shows Sara the cuff marks. Sara says they didn't find cuffs. Sara says Langston could've cut the cuffs off before he threw him.Catherine visits Gloria and her mother Mrs. Parks. She says she just wanted to check on her. Mrs. Parks says she wants to ask her questions and relive her nightmares and Gloria isn't talking and to leave her alone. She tells Catherine that Ray and Gloria were divorced because he wouldn't have a baby with Gloria because he was afraid to pass on something bad inside him. She says she was always afraid of Ray and wonders if Catherine isn't afraid of him too? Catherine asks Gloria if she's okay. Gloria says she's tired. Catherine leaves.Sara goes into the locker room and grabs Ray's kit to see if all three of his department issue flex-cuffs are in it. Greg sees this and wonders what she'd do if it was him. She said she'd look and it's their job to shine a light and once she knows what she's dealing with, she'll deal with it. All three sets of Ray's cuffs are there. Greg is happy.Catherine brings Brass the report for internal affairs. She mentions the disparity about the flex-cuffs and mentions that Brass was the first responder. Brass knowingly notes that all three pairs of flex-cuffs were in Ray's kit right? Right. He says he takes care of his team. She hands the report over to Schulz saying that the evidence suggests Ray was acting in self-defense.Ray lurks at the hospital and then talks to Mrs. Parks. She tells him not to go in and that she's taking Gloria back to Baltimore. He says he understand and feels responsible and wants to find a way to atone for it. She says she knows they never liked each other but apologizes for blaming and judging him earlier. She says that's for Gloria so he'll have to wait to see if that's how she feels. She tells Ray she hopes he finds peace.His phone rings. It's a text telling him the IA interview is at 9 a.m. the next day.We see Ray surveying the horrible bedroom crime scene. Brass joins him and asks what he's doing there. Ray doesn't respond. Brass says Ray killed a murderer in self defense, he gets that right? Ray says he gets that he did everything that he could for Gloria. We get a flashback to the actual self-defense/murder. Ray beats him pretty good and talks to him and takes out his anger from all the scarring Haskell did to him including taking his kidney. Haskell taunts him but doesn't fight back. Ray says he knows where Haskell wants to "take him" but says he's "already there" and throws him through the bannister. Brass says they are the only two people in the world who knows what happened there and that they need to keep it to themselves. IA will try him for murder and it won't be just himself he's crucifying--and we see Brass pocket the flex-cuffs.We get an answer to the white powder issue. Gloria had been writing music notes in chalk on the floor. We flash back to a better time when Gloria was giving Ray a private concert, on their first date, playing "The Swan" from "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saens. Brass tells Ray he did the right thing.Ray goes to look at Haskell's body in the morgue. Robbins figures it's natural Ray needs reflection. Ray says that's what Haskell saw in him, a reflection. Robbins says Haskell wanted to bring Ray into that house, with horror on one side of the wall. Ray says that horror was on the other side of the wall in his house too, but that unlike Haskell he trained himself to be "good" like other people. Robbins says Ray is good.We cut to the IA interview for Ray. The gang waits outside as Ray is interviewed. He says he killed a man. Schulz asks if it was self-defense or murder. Before Ray can answer we cut to the credits.

The CSI unit investigates when Frank, an apparent murder victim, sits up and needs help. But in fact, he's not just a victim, he's also a double murderer, and he coolly hijacks the Medevac helicopter taking him to a hospital. A paramedic tends to a barely conscious Frank, and helps him aboard the Medevac chopper. But he does too good a job of bringing Frank back to full consciousness, and is taken hostage when Frank steals Morgan's ill-secured weapon. A man who's looking to take a chance to regain control, he's given a shot of morphine at Frank's orders, but still tries to get the gun back, and is shot in the belly by a determined Frank. A cocksure pilot of a medevac chopper, "all aviator sunglasses and ego", he's in charge of the helicopter taking Frank and Morgan to the hospital. Unpleasantly surprised when Frank steals Morgan's gun, hijacks the chopper and shoots the paramedic, he becomes increasingly sour and sardonic towards both Frank and Morgan, suspecting correctly that their actions (and inactions) will contribute to his early death, seconds after the chopper runs out of gas.
