This second time working with the New York team gives Horatio the distinction of working out of both New York Crimelabs. He worked out of the original in the premiere MIA/NYC-NonStop & the new lab this time. This is also the only time he worked with Lindsay Monroe. In the former episode, he worked with Aiden Burn. edit »
Just like in the CSI: Miami episode edit »
Goof: When Mac finds the Metrocard, it is an old one, from the time that they first came out about 9 years ago. Current metrocards are a yellowish-gold color and there is only the MTA symbol on it, not the letters MTA. edit »

Okay the only negative thing I really have to say about this crossover episode is Horatio Caine. He just annoys me. Now for the rest of the episode, it was actually very realistic in linking not one, but two murders in Miami to someone in NYC. It was very plausible for me. I like how Lindsay, being from Montana, was unaware of the term Pharm Party, it showed she's still learning. Mac putting her in trace and her comment to Danny shows there's more in her past than she's sharing. I loved watching Mac on the hunt for a predator before someone else was killed.

So much promise, but failed to deliver...little interaction between Horatio and Mac, which begged the question why bother with the episode? The serial killer's motive was a silly way to conclude the storyline in double quick time..liked the fact that Horatio could keep his promise to the kid, but felt so much more could have been made of Stella's attraction to Horatio...plus, it was out of character for him to not even seek her out to say goodbye. And then there was the subpoena Horatio got served with in the street. He hints to Stella it's to do with something in his past but no more is said about it ...did I miss something? If anyone could tell me what on earth that was all about, I'd be very grateful - it drove me nuts trying to work it out!

After a pile-up during a heated match between two of New York's all-female roller derby teams turns deadly, Mac, Stella and Lindsay investigate the skater's death, whose beauty and multiple endorsements may have caused her murder.

When a game between rival teams, the Manhattan Minx and Brooklyn Clobbers, ends in the murder of the premier skater in the league, the CSIs must discover if her murder was an act of jealousy from one of her teammates or if she was killed by an opposing skater because of her competitive edge. Meanwhile, Danny and Sheldon investigate the death of a gifted writer who is found with the final chapter of his latest novel written on his entire body, leading them to believe that their suspect likely suffers from hypergraphia.

Mia Sara ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off") guest stars as Cala Winger, victim Griffin Holden's book editor, who reports him missing and seems more concerned with the missing chapter from his manuscript than with his death.

The Bottom Line: "Exactly why I watch this series"
Great episode. A continuation of the Miami episode. brilliant. ...Continue »
The beginning: Well I didn't watch the CSI:Miami episode nor do I plan on it. Alone, it was a great episode. Okay so you probably need to know what was going on in the episode before if you are anal like me, but that's what episode recaps are for! I thought the beginning with Darius killing the kids was horrific. Then when we see what he's done with the blood? How messed up is this guy. What's creepy is he's a GENIUS.

The cases:
This entire episode was about the one case really, though well technically it was two. So I will treat it as two. There was the one with Darius and the one with Horatio's killer. First is Darius. What was with pulling Linds off the case?? We get a hint she has a mysterious past, which those who watch now, know she was a survivor of a very serious murder. Nevertheless, now we can figure out that it was very sweet of Mac to take her off the case. He obviously knew or something to the extent and took her off so she wouldn't have to deal with something that badly. At the time we sided with Lindsay, she can handle it. Now, however, we feel the need to side with Mac, while Lindsay was harsh it is understandable. She was in denial with how affected she was with what happened to her. Mac on the subway with Darius was amazing. Darius is just creepy smart and the way he knew Mac would go there, and so he stabbed that guy before Mac got there so Mac would have to save him. And then when they confront the one daughter about stealing, it was very sweet dad lies for the daughter. Of course the daughter was an idiot and basically killed her sister. But yeah.

The second case was with Horatio and the killer of the woman from Miami. That led to Darius' escape. I'm not a big fan of Miami, but I love Horatio and how he acted with big al and his gun. I mean how much better can you get than that? He basically just mothered him into giving the gun. Just like a mother who has caught a child with a cookie in their mouth. Spit it out. spit it out now. Hahah brilliant. Another great Horatio scene was telling Vincent about the death penalty. Vincent's face just fell. Brilliant.

Favorite Scenes:
It had to be a tie with Mac freakin out at Darius at the very end, when he told him he hopes he rots in hell. Oooooo I love angry Mac. Angry Mac is beautiful. Then it had to be with Lindsay and Danny when Danny tells her he was just looking out for her. That whole "I don't know Montana, have you?" I love it!

Overall:
Loved this episode. it was a very touching episode, with mysteries, and oddities, and disturbing scenes.
