Episode recap: The CSIs are suddenly faced with two crime scenes when, while investigating the murder of a hotel concierge, they hear gunshots fired across the street and find a woman clutching a gun over two dead bodies. A rooftop swimsuit photo shoot ends badly when the hotel's concierge falls off a balcony and is impaled by a statue. Mac, Danny and Flack question their primary suspect, a supermodel who was seen arguing with the woman shortly before her death. Meanwhile, Stella, Lindsay and Sheldon rush to the scene where a woman stands in shock after shooting an intruder.

Best episode quotes:


Grace Thomason: I read in the paper that you shot your boyfriend. Once to the head and twice to the chest.
Stella: I shot in self defense, You are just a cold blooded killer.

Stella: This case is different. Hell, I'm different. I know what it's like to be trapped in your home. And I have a vivid memory of that horrible moment when you realize the only way out is a bullet. I have no choice but to be emotionally involved.
