And Then There were None, Season 2 #9

Casino robbery kills two security guards and one of the robbers (who was shot in the back by one of his fellow robbers). And what seems like a boring a case at a convenience store 75 miles out of town turns out to parallel casino robbery.

GREG:

1. Reading Sand and Surf magazine. 300 miles from the nearest beach. It’s a state of mind.
2. Finds potato on bullet from casino which links both cases. And as usual takes a while to get to the point, irritating the CSI’s.
3. Analysis of dust from robber’s apartment, see lesson of the week.

Another brown shirt. Meh.

REST OF THE TEAM:

• Potato used in convenience store shooting – poor man’s silencer.
• Brass interviews 17 people that were witnesses to casino robbery, none of the accounts matched.
• All the disguises in the world, and they dress like women. Warrick: "Ski masks are played out."
• Female interaction between Catherine and Sara at convenience store is humorous. Sara says nothing, but hands Catherine a candy bar when she starts bitchin’ about coroner being late. Something every girl knows - eat chocolate, you’ll feel better.
• Print match from convenience store is Tammy Felton, from Season 1 episode Face Lift.
• I’ll have to observe as I get into later season episodes, but am thinking Bobby’s hair has gone darker over the seasons and Greg’s has gone blonder.
• Two-thirds through episode all 3 robbers from casino are dead. Out of suspects. Hence episode title.
• Archie magic-- identifies clerk from convenience store as fourth man(woman?) from earlier casino robbery.
• $250,000 turns a career cop bad. Grissom: “He had his price.” Catherine: “We all do.” Foreshadowing for episode when she gets money from Sam?

Grissom’s Lesson of the week: there was this whole thing from Nick about Fords and transmission fluid and dexron and blah blah blah. But we also have a lesson from our favorite lab rat – silica dust: each particle is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand.

I’ll take door number 2 Monty.
