Talk about this episode


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. The case hits close to home for Stella as the shooting death reminds her of her personal experience with her violent and now deceased ex-boyfriend.

    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.

    Melina did an amazing job of acting in this episode, it really showed how she was still hurting from her ordeal with Frankie.
