Private Practice Season 1, Episode 8: “In Which Cooper Finds a Port in his Storm”

On last week’s episode, Pete stood up Addison on a date, Cooper turned down Violet, then Sam and Naomi got it on. This week’s episode continues the story. It’s the next morning and obviously, everyone’s acting a bit weird. Of course, except Dell who has no idea of what’s going on.

As low as her self esteem may be right now, Addison gets a well-deserved ego boost from a cute guy when he flirts with her in a coffee shop. She then informs Pete that her relationship with him has been downgraded to simply “acquaintance”. In the meantime, Naomi and Sam are still giddy from their experience last night, but they both agreed that it was just a mistake.

The priest, Father Mark summons Naomi and Sam to the convent, wherein a mysterious illness is keeping nuns in bed. As it turns out, the place is infected with typhoid. The question is, who brought the disease into the convent?

Back at the clinic, Violet is treating Addison’s admirer, Carl, who nervously refrains from any comments as Addison agrees and goes on a date with him. Although Pete becomes jealous, he did not refrain from commenting about Carl, but Addy just blows him off. Unfortunately, Carl has a weird and yucky compulsion wherein he literally sticks things up his butt (as seen when Violet gets called into the ER and Addison loses one of her shoes).

Charlotte King gets all of the crew involved with “Safe Surrender”, a program that rescues newborn babies from their birth moms that want to give them up. As Addison and Pete works on the hot line together, they picked up a newborn baby girl from a teen mom. Of course, knowing that Addison wants to have a baby of her own, she gets very attached to the baby, even naming the baby as “Batgirl”.Unfortunately, the mother comes back for Batgirl eventually. To make things worst, Addison and Pete gets a call and rushes to a park where they are faced with an abandoned baby that they cannot resuscitate. Addy gives up thinking it’s not just her day.

Cooper tries to reestablish his relationship with Violet, but fails again and again. He then turns to online dating and sets up a “rendezvous” with Charlotte. However, when Charlotte finds out that Cooper is her date, she is deeply horrified and hurriedly runs off. At the Oceanside office the next day, the two see each other and Coop asks Charlotte out for a drink, promising to her that “no sex” involved. Having said this, the two had the urge to immediately fall into bed.

In the meantime, Naomi and Sam figured out who infected the nuns at the convent. As it turns out, Father Mark is a typhoid carrier and was a really close friend of the sick Sister Virginia.Â The two finds Father Mark’s friendship with Sister Virginia touching and takes the experience back to Sam’s house.

Addison, having a not-so-lucky day, drops by Sam’s place, looking for someone to talk to. She tells him that she tried calling Naomi, but got no answer. As soon as Naomi walks out wearing Sam’s robe, Addy immediately burst into tears and Naomi stayed with her to talk about their day.

Samantha Who? Season 1, Episode 6 – The Hypnotherapist

For the first five episodes of Samantha Who, we witnessed how Sam attempts to rediscover her life after being a victim of a hit and run. Although she is shocked to wake up without any memories of her family and friends, she plans on making a fresh start. She goes back to work and even attends her first board meeting, where she discovers how competitive the old Samantha was. Sam also attended a wedding of her “so-called” friends , as a bridesmaid, without her knowing that the bride uninvited her earlier due to a fight. She tries her best to patch things up even if she has no idea what she has done.

Since everything about her past is completely gone, Sam considers herself a virgin. She is faced with a desicion of waiting for the right guy or experimenting on her sexual side. She is even shocked to know that one of her ex-boyfriends has a restraining order against her. This week, Sam questions her parents and thinks that she may be adopted. She believes that it would be the only reason why she acts normal and her parents appear nuts.

In a desperate attempt to regain her memory, Sam tries hypnotherapy. She comes out of the therapy with a bit of memory that she’s adopted. She also learns that she used to Smoke and Dena admits that she was the one who got Sam smoking. Her parents, on the other hand, find the adoption thing amusing. Sam challenges her parents for proof, but they came up with a bunch of reasons why they have no baby pictures (having stolen by a boy named Sean Miller) or copies of her birth certificate (which they say is impossible to get because she was born on a cruise ship in foreign territory). Sam doesn’t buy any of the stories for a second, but she remembers about a heart-shaped locket that her parents gave her. She later finds the locket in a heating vent, near the spot where she and Dena used to smoke.

Sam confronts her parents again, but they still won’t admit she’s adopted. She tells them that she doesn’t feel safe with them because they’re lying to her, then she leaves. Sam tries to crash at her bestfriend Andrea’s apartment, but she says she’s having none of that, so Sam ends up at Todd’s place. Todd confesses something to Sam. As it turns out, Sam really owns Todd’s apartment and he has only been squatting there all this time. Sam kicks him out too since she can’t trust him either. Alone at last, Sam tries to make herself at home, but nearly burned down the place when she lit a cigarette.

The next morning, Sam walks up in front of her building to find Frank the doorman there. She tells him what she’d learned from the hypnotherapist, including her locket, her dog Sandy, her bald birth father and meeting ex-President Roosevelt. Frank wakes Sam up to tell her that those weren’t her memories; and instead was from the movie/play “Annie”. Sam then remembers that, as a child, she played the role of Annie.

Dena gives Sam all small items that she has of Sam’s life. Sam then goes back to her apartment to apologize to her mother. Her mother Regina explains that the reason why she doesn’t want Sam to go to the hypnotherapist because she believed she wasn’t such a good mother and was afraid that she’d remember that. Sam apologizes and her mother pats her back saying “That’s my girl”, triggering another of Sam’s flashbacks. In this flashback, Andrea and Sam dances on a bar in one club then Andrea says “that’s my girl” while somebody slips a napkin with a phone number right into Andrea’s mouth. Sam then reads the number.

House Season 4, Episode 8 – You Don’t Want to Know

Last week, House and the remaining candidates were faced with a 16-year-old kid who was up for plastic surgery donated by a production company when he unexpectedly goes into a heart attack. The team successfully made the kid better, allowing him to undergo plastic surgery. This week, Dr. Kutner and Cole was watching a magician show when they witness the magician nearly drowning in a glass tank filled with water when his heart fails and blood appears in front of the audience.

At the lecture room, House introduces a challenge to the remaining five candidates. He agrees that the winner will get a chance to nominate two of his competitors, but House will decide on which one to fire. The challenge is to get Dr. Cuddy’s thong.

Kutner and Cole insists on taking the magician’s case. Although House was pretty sure that the magician was only acting his heart attack as a way to escape the tank, he agrees for Kutner to test the magician, but gets his job on the line when the patient has no medical condition. Thirteen and Kutner examines the magician, while being witness to magic card tricks. In the meantime, the two most ambitious doctors Amber and Taub are thinking of getting Cuddy’s thong and plans to team up for the challenge.

When Kutner and Thirteen discovers that the magician has no other sickness, Kutner goes to Dr. Foreman directly and asks him what to do, afraid of getting fired. He then suggests them to get an MRI. However, they weren’t able to get the magician through the MRI as he is experiencing internal bleeding. As for the challenge, Taub places a black thong on the table, but House guesses that Amber and Taub is cheating to win the challenge. He instantly discovers that it was Amber’s underwear and she is not wearing any at that minute.

The magician’s spleen is shredded. In the operating room, House enters to uncover the key inside the magician’s spleen, which was originally placed on his intestines. While explaining to the magician, the magician asks House to pick a card and slams the deck of cards into the glass, while House’s card stuck inside the glass door. The magician insists that he never screws up a trick and just as House was about to prove himself right, the magician bleeds through the nose. While discussing the case, House and the rest of the team was shocked when Dr. Cole places a red thong on the table. Although House knows that Cuddy’s underwear that day was red, he is still shocked as to how Cole got it.

House observes that Thirteen has been acting “clumsy” and weird and tries to talk to her about “hiding a medical condition”. However, Thirteen denies about any illness she is feeling and tells him that once she’s bleeding her eyes out, then she’ll ask for a medical advice.

Taub and Kutner goes to the magician’s house to inspect any weird items. They discover a group of rabbits, wherein he might have gotten the disease from. Before House explains the condition to the patient, he asks the magician how he did the card trick in exchange for the information about his medical condition. While the magician believes in “fun is not knowing”, House answers “fun is knowing” then cuts his dextrose. The magician acts as though he’s having a severe headache, then tells House he’ll just drink the vicadin he’s holding. As soon as House realizes he won’t be able to know the magician’s secret trick, he tells him that his illness came from the rabbits and he’ll be okay after the treatment.

At the corridor, House sees Cuddy and intentionally throws his stack of vicadin on the floor so that Cuddy could pick it up and he could check out Cuddy’s ass. As soon as Dr. Cuddy picked the vicadin, House screams of shock to discover she has no underwear and Cole actually has earned his reward. Since Cole is safe from elimination, Amber tries to manipulate him, Taub tries to bribe him with $5,000 and Kutner tries a guilt-trip approach and puts their friendship on the line. In the meantime, the magician thinks he’s dying because the MRI shows his kidneys, thigh and other internal organs are bleeding all over the place.

The magician had a seizure twice and his kidneys are shutting down. Since there are numerous infections possible of killing the magician and it would take hours to test them all, House decides to transfuse the patient’s blood into him to make the process easier. During the transfusion, House talks to Thirteen and made her open up about her mom’s Parkinson’s sickness. House gets a fever, becomes dizzy and faints. House discovers that Thirteen drugged him so the team could get the needed samples from him. House then gets Thirteen’s bottled water and runs it for a test.

Wilson announces to House that his biopsies are clean, but is shocked to discover that House used his life on the line just to prove himself right. While talking, House accidentally tells Wilson that he’s blood type is the universal donor, type A, always giving and giving. Wilson gets paranoid about his blood type “you tested me for something”, but House runs out of the room to explain to his team that the magician’s blood type is A and they were killing him because they were giving him the wrong type of blood.

During firing time, House enters the lecture room with a pillow and Dr. Cuddy’s thong. Cole nominates Amber and Kutner, but House finds out that he made a deal with cuddy to get her pick from the 5 remaining. House says that although Cole’s scheme was brilliant, he’s fired because he gave Cuddy the power.

As it turns out, House used Thirteen’s bottled water to get a test for Huntington’s disease, the medical condition which may possibly be infecting Thirteen’s body. She then discovered the envelope of the result and asked House about it. She gives the envelop back to House saying that if she ran out of questions, she’ll also run out of hope. House throws the envelope without looking at the result.

Who will be next to leave or get fired by House? Amber? Thirteen? Taub or Kutner?

CSI: Season 8, Episode 7 – Goodbye and Good Luck

Last week, Grissom’s team and FBI Malone were able to uncover a 6-year old case, but were too late in arresting the killer. This week, the CSI team is faced with another old face with a new case.

In a campus, a lady falls from the roof to the ground floor. Although it was the third jumper of the school, Stokes and Catherine determines it is not a suicide case due to inconsistent wounds on the vic’s body. Brass identifies the victim as Kira Dallanger.

Sara and Ronnie handles a crime scene with lots of blood, but no body. After a few minutes inspecting the house, a lady (mrs. jimenez) enters the crime scene with a knife on her back. She says she and her husband had a fight and had no idea where he was. When Mrs. Jimenez was being treated, the husband arrives hysterically screaming to his wife saying, “did you call the cops on me?”

Ronnie asks Sara about what to do because the case is obviously domestic abuse. Sara reacts like it was just any other case and tells Ronnie that they’ll just come back for mrs. jimenez’s body, or the husband’s or both after a month.

Stokes and Greg determines that the crime scene was Kira’s room. They discovered that she was part of a goth band and got a lubricant tube as evidence. As it turns out, one of the finger prints matches Marlon West, the brother of the famous girl, Hannah West, who manipulated the jury to save her brother in a murder case a few years back. Sara asks Grissom if she could be part of the case, and Grissom agrees.

Grissom interrogates Marlon West. He admits that Kira and him had a fight because he saw her kissing someone else. The guy punches him and gave Marlon a fat lip. While interrogating Marlon, Hanna walks by and talks to Sara, telling them they had no right to ask her brother questions.

Greg finds Kira’s online blog and discovers a post where she talks about two boys fighting over her – torchx and drummerboy19. Both boys, drummerboy (who is Marlon West) and torchx (who is identifieed as Jordan Rockwell) had their finger prints on the lubricant tube.

Brass interviews Jordan. He says Kira and him used to date in high school and they just caught up with their lives online. He visited her on campus and got into a fight with West. They went back into Kira’s room, had sex, but when he started to feel sick, he left with his car and got into an accident. As it turns out, both Kira and Jordan were positive for GHB.

Greg finds photographs of the goth band and pictures from the Marlon and Jordan’s fight. One of the pictures clearly shows Hannah picking up a piece of Marlon’s broken tooth and taking it. As Sara interrogates Hannah about the tooth, the girl just pissed her off.

At the police station, Sara sees Mrs. Jimenez voluntarily asking for help. Ronnie says she thinks it’s just right to tell victims about their right, but Sara says Mrs. Jimenez will only be out of her husband’s life for a week or so.

Sara tries her luck talking to Marlon. He admits that he thinks Hannah was a weird girl, but after their first trial and their parent’s accident, his little sister Hannah got weirder. One night, Hannah enters Marlon’s room to find Kira and him having sex. That night, Kira walks out of Marlon and ended her relationship with him. Since Hannah is a chemistry whiz, Marlon asks her sister to make GNB just to mess Kira up for leaving him.

Marlon ends up in jail and agrees to Sara’s idea of trapping his sister to answer some questions. When Hannah visited him, he asks her what he did to deserve being put in jail for the rest of his life. Hannah simply answered that she loves Marlon.

Sara agrees that Hannah is way too smart for her brother and for her since the girl is spinning her in circles. Not only did the trap not work, Marlon committed suicide on his cell a few hours later.

Sara visits Hannah on campus. She tells her about Marlon’s suicide and she doesn’t believe her, thinking it was another trick. When Sara showed Hannah the picture of Marlon hanging, she becomes hysterical.

After a traumatic day, Sara goes back to the lab and greets Grissom with a 2-minute kiss. She then went straight to the locker room to get her surname patch from her CSI vest and throwing it on the trash as a sign that she quits being a CSI agent. She then leaves a note for Grissom telling him that she has to leave and she will love him always.

Will this be the last time we’ll see Sara Sidle on CSI?

CSI: NY Season 4, Episode 8 – “Buzzkill”

Last week, the CSI team uncovered two cases in major NY tourist spots – at the Madison Square Park and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both crimes clearly want to send a message. This week, the team faces a robbery and a woman electrocuted in a rooftop party.

On the other hand, Stella agrees for a “drink” with Drew, but she ends up having a dinner date in a rooftop in New York. However, Stella feels that all his gifts and style is way too aggressive for her. She then walks out to go to a crime scene.

Flack and Stella examines the crime scene and finds Jenna Donovan’s body in a giant martini bowl, electrocuted to death. The team finds several tennis balls in the scene and Lindsay sees indentation marks on the surface wall. She measures the impact of the marks to find the origin while Flack and Stella interviews the management of the ad agency that organized the rooftop party. They talked to Lia and Damien, who says it might be their competitors looking to get their billboard spot. Dr. Hammerback investigates Jenna’s body.

In the meantime, Danny is in an ambulance with a robbery victim named Brandi and her boy friend, Paul Larkin. Mac, Hawkes and Detective Angell examines the robbery crime scene, with another dead man.

Lindsay finds the origin of the tennis balls as Stella and Flack finds the room filled with tennis balls. They arrest a man named Nick Conway and he admits targeting the party because he is a recovering alcoholic and he just wants the party to stop.

Hawke’s investigates Brandi’s clothes and from there, Mac suggests that the bullet shots from the dead victim and Brandi’s did not match. As the lab results showed Brandi had DNA semen that matched the shooter, they discovered that she was the inside contact and that the robber double-crossed her.

Back at the lab, Dr. Hammerback tells Stella that the tennis ball shooter was not Jenna Donovan’s killer. Since the vic did not die due to electrocution, Lindsay examines Jenna’s bag and its contents. Inside was plenty of money, tons of lollipops and cotton balls. Stella gets a piece from the lollipop to see it was heroine and discovers that the purse handle is the exact match to the bruise on Jenna’s shoulders.

Mac visits Brandi at the hospital. When her boyfriend Paul talked to her, her heart collapses and the doctor hesitated on reviving her. The doctor then whispers to Mac that he needs his help. They talked privately and Dr. Moore tells Mac that his brother Charles was kidnapped and in return, the kidnappers want him to let the witness die. As it turns out, Paul Larkin was not Brandi’s boyfriend. The team examines the camera outside the bank.

Lindsay finds the symbol “91x” from a grain of rice that is part of a kanji ring. 91x, which means magic, is the chemical resulted when phetonel (a chemo drug) and heroine is combined. This information led to Donovan’s killer, Pattie Larkin, who was the maker of the kanji rings. However, Dr. Hammerback says the killer is not Pattie because the vic’s stomach contents included a marine chemicals only available in salt water. Lindsay and Stella reexamines the crime scene to get samples from the large martini glass.

As it turns out, Paul Larkin’s name was Paul Campbell. Mac and Hawkes traced down where Paul worked and was able to get fingerprints from the gloves. They went to his apartment only to discover a courier box where the robbers must have placed the money. Det. Angell calls the phone of Dr. Moore’s brother only to find out that the celphone was in the apartment.

Back at the lab, Lindsay and Stella finds the murder weapon – a poisonous jellyfish that only survives in sea water. It was placed inside a beach ball and the only ones to have access was Lia and Damien. They interrogated the two and discovered that Lia handed the beach ball to Damien because HE was the target, instead of Jenna. As it turns out, she wanted him dead because the large martini glass and billboard party was her idea and Damien stole it and pitched the idea to the boss.

On the other hand, Danny finds a piece of paper that had a trace of an address. This led Mac and the team to an apartment where Paul Campbell, another suspect and the kidnapped Charles Moore was staying.

House Season 4, Episode 7 – Ugly

Last week, House and his team did “whatever it takes” to treat a nine-time racecar champion. This week, the team is faced with a sixteen-year-old kid with cranial facial deformity who was about to undergo plastic surgery (in Dr. Chase’s operating room) and unexpectedly goes into a heart attack. House and his team needs to discover what’s wrong with him before he could receive plastic surgery and live a “normal life”.

Since the plastic surgery operation will be paid by a production company, a film crew follows House and his team around with a complete backstage pass to the case. Although House is not OK with the cameras, Cuddy thinks it would be good PR for the hospital.

In the lecture room, Amber, Cole and the rest of the remaining applicants felt that the sudden appearance of Dr. Terzi was an unfair decision that House made. They asked her if she was directly hired or is she competing with the rest of the team.

House wants his team to think hard (without being distracted by the cameras). While discussing the case with the team, Dr. Terzi suggests a stupid theory and House did not dismiss her idea. House then tells Wilson that he thinks Dr. Terzi is stupid for leaving her career.

Kutner and Taub asks the kid about drug use, but since no scarring was found on his heart, he was negative for using any kinds of drugs, even if he said he used coke, LSD and acid. Kenny, the patient, then vomited blood.

Cuddy finds out that House is keeping the cameras out by conducting diagnosis in the MRI and operating rooms.

In the mean time, Taub wants to make House to look bad in front of the cameras by not telling House he’s wrong about his theories. Dr. Terzi again makes a not-so-intelligent remark about the case and House again did not dismiss her. House tells Wilson that Terzi is making him stupid.

Since there are no tumors on the patient’s stomach, house is sure it’s JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) and tells the team to give the kid steroids. Taub tells the father about JRA and the steroid treatment, but back-stabs House telling that he can cure Kenny by simply stopping his heart for a second and he could continue his plastic surgery.

While the camera crew was interviewing Cameron about House and her reason for leaving the diagnosis department, House was at a plastic surgery clinic where Taub used to work, disguising himself as a patient needing consultation. House finds out that Taub quit from the firm due to personal reasons. Digging deeper, House discovers that Taub was screwing around with the nurse and as the partner finds out, he quits without contest and signs a “no-competition agreement” with the firm just to keep his marraige.

Taub and House still debates about the appropriate treatment, but Cuddy decides on siding with House. He then tells the kid to take steroids for the JRA and he’ll be okay.

House and Wilson sneaks into the editing room to view the crew’s tape. They watch how Dr. Terzi suggests stupid remarks and why House acts stupidly around her.

In the meantime, as House and Taub visits the patient to see if he’s OK for the plastic surgery, House sees Kenny’s little finger twitching. As it turns out, the team is now faced with another symptom: involuntary muscle movement.

Thirteen suggests it might be lime disease, Taub still insists on his theory, but Taub gets his way this time. They stopped the kid’s heart and he can now continue with the plastic surgery.

At the operating room with the film crew, Chase and other surgeons, Thirteen goes to watch the surgery since she believes House is right. She discovers that the patient had rashes above his hairline and no one looked closely enough to see it was lime disease. The team shaved the patient’s head and becomes positive that it’s lime disease.

Back at the lecture room, the remaining applicants along with Foreman and Terzi was ready for firing time. House lets Taub stay, but admits he has judged and treated Dr. Terzi unfairly. He then fires Terzi and asks her out for a date.

The film crew gave Dr. Cuddy a copy of the documentary. She and House watched the tape and was shocked to see that the production edited everything, making House a “goody goody doctor” and the “savior” of a 16-year-old’s life. As the narrator says, “House, one of those rare doctors”, he stands up shocked and horrified about the tape, eager to complain to the film crew NOT to let anyone see the film.

CSI: Season 8, Episode 6 – Who and What

Last week, the CSI team investigates the murder, which turned out to be an accident that was covered up by the production, of a horror queen, Weatherly Adams. This week, the CSI team is faced with multiple questions when they discover their case is part of the FBI’s 6-year-old serial killer unsolved case.

The episode starts with a lady playing a game board with a boy. Since the boy seems uninterested, the lady just leaves him in the living room as she takes a shower. A few minutes later, she hears the kid fall and shocked by a man that attacks her. The victim, Carmen Davis and the boy “Evan” were both left dead.

Greg and Catherine has been processing the crime scene for six hours. They receive a call from the FBI ordering them to stop, so as soon as Grissom came, the FBI lands down from the helicopter. Jack Malone introduces himself to Jim Brass, Grissom and the rest of the team. He discloses to them about a kidnapping that took place six years ago. The kid was kidnapped in the babysitter’s apartment, while the babysitter was left for dead and the FBI believes the dead kid is their missing kid.

Cath determines the murder weapon used is a hammer and Dr. Robbins confirms this by stating the cause of death – multiple blood force trauma – for both Evan and Carmen Davis. However, his examination also suggested that Carmen Davis was raped before she died.

At the crime scene, the team finds the vic’s ID on top of her credit card. However, Greg finds an empty jewelry box, while Stokes sees several pictures of Davis wearing jewelries. Warrick investigates around the desk and finds a list of poker player statistics (marking #273) and a laptop with several online gambling websites open.

Brown and Malone visits the nearest casino with poker competition to look for contestant #273. The man tries to run, but Malone catches him before he escapes. Brown obtains Tom Michaels’ finger prints and DNA while Malone interrogates him. Michaels admits that he listened to the voice inside his head rather than listening to Brother Willard, his spiritual adviser. Just as Malone gets pissed with Michaels, Brass stops the interrogation and a picture of the dead Evan falls. As it turns out, Tom Michaels was Evan’s father and Carmen Davis was his ex-girlfriend.

Wendy finds out that there were two semen donors from Carmen Davis – one from Tom Michaels and the other was listed in two unsolved cases in New York and Idaho.

At a jewelry store, the team finds Carmen’s missing jewelries. They acquired the video tape from the store to get a look at the suspect, but only a cap with Hartgreen Harvest logo was seen. At the nearest casino, they discovered the suspect wearing the same cap, but are still unable to get a clear picture.

Sarah finds herself in another crime scene when a bloody man asks for the neighborhood kids’ help.Sara and the police searches for the man’s house only to find his wife raped and dead, leaving the murder weapon (a hammer) behind and replaced it with a 45-auto gun. With the same crime scene patterns, such as the ID left above the credit card and covered raped victim, the CSI team links this crime scene with the first murder.

While Grissom and Sara was talking about the suspect, Grissom hears the sound of the railroad a few blocks away from the crime scene. He tells Malone that the two crime scenes were both near the rails and their killer is escaping through the railroad.

Stokes and Archie checks out the security cam from the South Point casino. Studies the suspect’s actions and sees that he was particularly attentive to a poster. They discovered that the suspect was calling information to get the home number and address of the waitress,Gina Ferantino. Unable to get what he wants, he gets pissed and smashes his hands on the phone booth.

Upon interviewing the manager of the casino, the team finds out that Gina met the suspect when he won 2,500 in the slot machines the day before. Stokes asks for the reward claim slip to get the suspect’s fingerprints.

The suspect, identified as Terry Lee Wicker, was once married to Gina Ferantino. A police car finds Ferantino’s car, but the suspect shoots him dead. When the team arrives, Grissom discovers that there is a railroad just 16 miles away from the latest crime scene.

As they arrive the railroad tracks, both Malone and Grissom searches the trains for Wicker. Unfortunately,Terry Wicker was smart enough to hire a homeless guy and pay him $100 to wear his cap and get on the train. Back at the railroad port, the team finds Ferantino’s car, where she was left dead in the compartment.

As it turns out, Terry Wicker visited Las Vegas for a reunion with his ex-wife and to pick up his kid (Coby) from school. The episode ends with Coby sitting in one of the trains while Terry Wicker sings to him.

Will the CSI team and FBI still catch this serial killer?

CSI: NY Season 4, Episode 7 – “Commuted Sentences”

Last week, the CSI: NY team faced Halloween with 2 weird cases involving a true-to-life zombie and a mass murder reportedly caused by a haunted house that leads the father to kill his family and commit suicide. This week, the team has two cases in two tourist spots – Madison Square Park where a man is stabbed brutally to death and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where a woman is shot dead on the steps. Both crimes clearly want to send a message. The CSI NY team is about to uncover this message.

The episodes starts with a lady covered in blood running to her apartment crying and desperately wiping out the blood. Flack and the police arrests her in the bathroom naked and still in shock. Outside her apartment, near the Madison Square Park, Mac and Stella examines the crime scene where a man is stabbed with 4 knives. Flack discloses that the vic is Mitchell Bentley III, who recently got acquitted from rape and attempted murder in central park. The victim on that case was none other than Fern Lazlow, the girl who was just arrested in her apartment. Clearly, Flack and Stella determines this case as a revenge killing. As Mac and Stella examines the crime scene, they discover a bandage, a piece of red fabric and finger prints on the vic’s neck. However, the crime scene suggests no sign of running nor defensive signs on the victim’s body.

At the other side of town, Danny, Hawkes and Lindsay examines the body of the woman who was shot dead by the steps of Metropolitan Museum. The victim, Joana Morgan, was a successful advertiser. The crime scene indicates it was not a case of robbery, but they team became confused when they found no signs of struggle, no bullets, but the gun was left for them to find.

Back at the lab, Lindsay and Danny investigates Joana Morgan’s clothes, bag and gun. As it turns out, the fingerprints on the gun were only from Morgan, suggesting that the suspect may have maneuvered her arm as she was trying to shoot the suspect. On the other hand, Dr. Hammerback checks out Bentley’s body and discovers that all four knives were penetrated deeply into the body. In fact, the suspect had an intimate knowledge of the human body that Mac even compares the killing to Spanish bull fighting, where the suspect tortures Bentley, slowly killing him. Flack interrogates Fern Lazlow, but she denies killing Bentley even if she has all the right reasons to kill him.

Hammerback examines Joanna Morgan’s body and gives Hawkes the digestive fluid from her body. Adam determines that the fibers from Bentley’s body is from black tissue paper only found in Casa del Matador Grill. Stella and Flack visits the restaurant to find hair stuck at the bottom of the chair where Fern Lazlow and Bentley supposedly sat. Adam discovers that the hair was diamond-mink eyelashes that costs $10,000 a pair, leading to a woman named Amber Stanton.

Lindsay and Danny goes back to the crime scene to find the missing bullet. Lindsay uses a first-aid kit to make a slingshot and experiment on the angle of the gun shot and discover where the bullet landed. Lindsay’s experiment works and Danny finds the missing bullet. At the lab, the bullet determines two blood samples – one from Joana Morgan and the other from an unknown male. The blood from the unknown male suggests the suspect has a gunshot on his/her shoulders.

Flack and Mac visits Amber Stanton. She admits having dinner with Bentley since she’s a Publisher, they discussed about his recent trial and how she could save his career and reputation. She also admitted that she lost her eyelashes. Mac tells Flack to keep an eye on Amber, but she ends up keeping an eye on Flack’s police car. She enters the car and gave Flack (and Det. Angell) her schedule for the day. Pissed off about Stanton’s arrogance, Flack searches for hair and uses this strand to get Amber’s DNA.

Detective Angell discloses to Stella that the bandage they gathered as evidence had markings underneath. It was a map only seen on Ian Burton shoes. They were looking at a shoe print. As it turns out, the shoe print found was from Joanna Morgan’s shoes, linking her case to Mitchell Bentley’s crime scene. The team examines the evidences and studies the relationship between Fern Lanzlow, Joana Morgan and Amber Stanton. As it turns out, they were all victims of criminals that were acquitted.

As Hawkes examines the stomach contents of Joana Morgan’s body, he finds a unique bacteria that caused food poisoning. This specific bacteria changes the DNA of a person infected. Because of this, the CSIs were given a warrant to search Amber Stanton’s apartment, where they found an empty Ian Burton shoe box.

From the food poisoning discovery, Detective Angell searched for reports on local restaurants to have food poisoning. A Steve Kaplan reported “Clergio’s Grill” in Midtown to have served poisoned food and asked for pain killers at the hospital. As it turns out, Kaplan has also been acquitted from a 2000 murder and was caught to have shoulder trouble due to a gun shot. He then admitted that he met Joana Morgan online, they met for dinner and out of no where, Morgan tried to kill him. Kaplan says he shot her as self-defense.

Mac interrogates Amber Stanton. Mac figures out that since Joana Morgan’s prints were all over the Ian Burton shoe box, it was given to Amber as a gift. The two ladies met through commuting, the daily ride to work, where they developed a 40-minute friendship and became close – close enough to tell deep secrets such as Morgan’s rape case. Amber admits her friendship with Morgan and considers herself as an “arbiter of justice”. As Amber Stanton is taken away for the murder of Mitchell Bentley, Fern Lanzlow goes free.
