After solving his final case with CSI, Gil Grissom packed up his office and took his last walk down the hall. He noticed all his co-workers on the way out (even spending a moment with the program from Warrick's memorial service) and exchanged a final smile with Catherine, who seemed to give her approval for him to exit. The GPS marking Costa Rica meant only one thing: Grissom was planning to spend his days with his two great loves: bugs and Sara Sidle. In a meeting reminiscent of Carol Hathaway reuniting with Doug Ross when she left “ER,” Grissom found Sara in the jungle and the two shared a long kiss. Even longtime GSR doubters had to give these two their happy ending at last.
Yep, folks, Grissom announced that he is leaving CSI. Reactions varied, but everyone seemed stunned, except Catherine, who told Grissom that she knew he was going to leave before he did. Robbins said, “I think you’re nuts.” Nick puzzled over what Grissom was going to do next: “write a book, go off and study bugs somewhere?” Hodges was hurt and told Grissom to “have a nice life.” Wendy thanked him for his support and encouragement, and Grissom told her, “You earned it.” Grissom told Super Dave he would miss him, which left him proud and unable to speak. And Brass said they would go fishing on his boat. “You have a boat?” Grissom asked. “No,” Brass said. Typical Brass. You know he’ll miss Grissom the most.
Our victim this week is Layla, a teenage contestant on an “American Idol” style reality show called “Overnight Sensation.” Grissom, Mr. Sensitive, says, “She may have gotten what she wished for. She’s an overnight sensation now.” The CSIs discover that Layla’s been in a relationship with another contestant, Kip, and she turns out to be pregnant courtesy of show producer Drew Rich. But which one killed her?
Sung Bang and his sister-in-law, Kora Sil, were shot in Vegas' tiny Koreatown, while Kora’s son, Park Bang, looked on. Sung had just been released from prison for DUIs. Kora was a drug addict who had farmed out her son — the 8-year-old, HIV-positive Park — for a dangerous drug trial. It gets worse: Kora and Park had been living in a Korean gangster’s basement. When Grissom finally got the boy to talk, Park tried to lay blame on the gangster, but after creating a reenactment of the scene, Grissom was horrified to realize that after Kora has shot Sung, Park had then shot his own mother. “I’m sorry we solved this,” Grissom told Brass. “I really am.”
Victim Ian Wallace was strangled, and his body strapped to the bottom of an SUV. The killer stupidly used nylon rope, which melted, dropping the corpse into the road. The CSIs found needle-play marks around Wallace’s nipples and his tongue had been burned during bondage. His girlfriend, Justine, was also found murdered; she’d been kidnapped, taken to the desert, and hit with her own SUV.
Murder victim Angela Carlos was the daughter of Colombian drug lord Juan Roman Carlos. Nick and Riley found her dead in a garbage dumpster. A fish tattoo on her thigh led Catherine and Riley to the Dark Waters nightclub. Seedy club owner Craig Hess (yep, that was “Sex and the City’s” Jason Lewis) told them that she’d only been there briefly before he got her to leave, but it turned out he sent him to see Goya, who trafficked cocaine out of a fish and aquarium warehouse. Angela wanted drugs, snorted Atropine (used to cut cocaine) by mistake, fell and cut her head open, and Goya and his pal decided to give her a transfusion — using their own, differently typed blood.
Four victims were all posed like statues: A nurse clutching a cell phone, a runner resting on a park bench, a businessman hailing a cab and an elderly couple bird watching. The CSIs discovered that the victims had been posed and asphyxiated in a chamber filled with carbon monoxide. The man behind the crime was frustrated artist Arthur Blisterman, who had entered a municipal contest to create bronze statues for the city, but had decided to use real bodies instead. When the CSIs realized there was still one potential victim out there — a boy who was to be posed on his bicycle — Grissom interrogated Blisterman trying to find out the truth. When Grissom told him he’d be facing the death penalty, he simply said, “I’m not scared of dying. I just don’t want to be forgotten.”
