    wife's weekend,no sex Calleigh, Eric and Ryan each take different part of the penthouse to be examined. Which then each come up with their own theories contradicting to others. hide show

    So typical of cleaning, using all the hotel towels. Here is when the trust between the three is challenged. As incidents showed things that what is seen is not what it is. If you judged thing only from the way it is, it might cause. The three of them forgot the main thing that they need to do, to meet with ALex and comfirm what is the COD, cause of death. First rule, never assumed anything. Then the three combined their story together, then found out that their suspect might not be the killer after all. So who killed the pool guy??

    Cool way to tell the story! hide show

    This was a very special episode for two reasons: I loved the different perspectives from which the story was told (by Calleigh, Ryan and Eric) and ...it was virtually David Caruso-free :D! I'm sorry, but I can't stand the posing that has to pass as acting with him, it used to not be so bad but it's just becoming more overpronounced and ridiculous with each episode IMO. Half the time you're wondering who on earth he's talking to as he's turned sideways, what's that about?? And the sunglasses on/off thing is very distracting. The one-liners at the start are usually good though, but that's the script ;)

    When the team gets called to a high priced hotel to investigate the death of a poolboy the evidence leads them to three different killers. hide show

    This episode is crucial to the story plot of season four. It is in this episode that we learn that someone is out to get the Crime Lab because of the character flaws of Horatio's team. This episode is one of the better ones this season it breathes fresh air into a already great season. It includes more twists and turns than the team is normally used to and it shows that while the team is very close to being perfect there are things the can do to improve their performance. This episode is well rounded and includes all the elements that makes this show the best of all the CSI series.

    Great directing from Jonathan Glassner. hide show

    I absolutely loved the way this episode was shot. It had three different perspectives from three characters I love and I couldn't side with any of them because of it. The way the director took us through the three perspectives and letting us see what we had missed was genius work. It wasn't that cool to see them drift appart like that during the course of the show, but I guess not everything is pink in the world. I mean, they are humans and are bound to dislike each other at some point. Even though they were having such a bad time working with each other, their chemistry couldn't have been more evident and fantastic. I'm actually glad that I knew before watching this season that Natalia Bos Vista was the inside informant, because in this particular episode you can see her listening to Delko jumping to conclusions about Ryan and Erika Sikes. She even asked him a couple of questions and he kept on giving her information. It's good to know this beforehand because now I can watch closely and see the things I would've missed if I had seen the season without knowing.

  • This episode bears a striking resemblance to the CSI episode "Rashomama", where the story is told in everyone's different perspective. Each of the investigators has a different story to tell with a different outcome as they twist together with each telling.
    Both are - a now often used - reference to the 1950 movie Roshomon by Akira Kurosawa: a crime is described by its four suspects, each one giving more detail and providing complete different versions. []
