The team must figure out how a young woman and a shark end up dead on the beach at the same time. This case gets even more interesting when a second body washes up on the beach.
Quinn Shelby observes the team at work to determine if the lab should get their annual accreditation.
This epi was brilliant. I loved this cabbie killer storyline. Can't wait to see the rest of the story unfold. hide show
The episode was great. I love Mac's stepson Reed he is annoyin but i can see some good coming from him. The storyline is very gripping. Someone killing peole who are advertised across the city depending on the order of bilboards is great cant say i have ever heard of that 1 before.
I wish Danny and Lindsay would hurry up and make up. I love them together. I think Danny loves Lindsay but he is scared of commitment.
I was shocked to discover Mac kissed Quinn. I never thought he would cheat on his Wife. I know it was just a kiss but still its still cheating.
It is really painful to watch this episode, because it reminds me of how CSI: crime scene investigation has fallen from my favourite show to something I am just desperate to avoid. Like water for murder is exactly what CSI is like now - really slow movements, disastrously slow pace, clumsy relationships (father and son? flirty ex-coworker? get involved with coworkers? Am I even watching a crime show?), unorganized plot, unmethodical murder (ya, blame it on a psychopath). The whole one hour is just sluggish repetitions of 3 steps:
- they have a lead,
- they check it out,
- it leads to nowhere (the 'message', the chocolate, real estate agent, tomb stone, taxi, the ads),
plus these repetitions separated by boring relationship issues, which again lead to nowhere. These sadly are all I could summarize about this episode. One hour of my life is lost over such torturous boredom. I would be so debastated if my beloved CSI:NY becomes another CSI. Do NOT let this happen!
Overall a very good episode and very gripping. I loved the twist at the end of it. hide show
This episode starts off with a couple running along a beach and taking of their clothes. They then stumble across a dead shark and a dead body. At first it is thought that the shark killed the woman, but Flack soon points out that she has a broken neck. Stella thinks that she knows the victim as her face looks very familiar to her but she can not place her. Also in this episode Quinn Shelby observes the team at work to determine if the lab should get their annual accreditation.
During the autopsy it is also discovered that the victim was poisoned. Danny says to Lindsay that they should rent a movie together. Perhaps their relationship can be fixed after all. Another victim is found. Stella then realises how she knows the 1st victim, she is a real estate agent. Stella has met her, because she is looking for a new apartment after her last one was ruined in the fire from the previous episode. Also Claire's son Reid also re-appears in this episode as a reporter. Claire was Mac wife who was killed during the attacks on the twin towers. It is discovered that both victims had chocolate in their stomach and the blend of chocolate is only available in a new fashion show. They go there but everyone denies knowing them. Lindsay discovers that they were poisoned in a boot of a car but the 1st victim woke up and tried to escape and that was why she was strangled. Shelby lets Mac know that where she worked also had a similar case a few months ago.
Mac also discovers that the scratches on the victims' necks may have been a message form the killer. Only problem is the 1st victim which was attacked by a shark in New York, has that part of her neck missing and also the team open up the shark to try and find the missing pieces. L2729 is carved into the victims.
Charles from the chocolate show is called in as a suspect. We learn that Shelby & Mac kissed once and she still has a thing for him. Mac discovers that the killer picks his victims through ads on the streets (billboards) which say things like "Come home with me" etc. The signs even go in order of death and so the team believe that they have found the next victim. Before the team can get there, he is there.
Mac & Stella pass the killer as they enter the building; he goes outside to try to get a cab. But she is still alive. When they enter the apartment where he next intended victim is, they find that she is still alive. They also discover that the stuff under the nails of the victims is from the passenger bill of rights. The killer gets into a cab, and when he tries to leave he finds himself locked in. Then the Passenger bill of rights is shown and what look like scratch makes can be seen on it. But was he the right killer. It then becomes obvious that the killer drives a cab; the person we thought was the killer is the next victim. And so we watch him die. They then find the body. Mac says any New Yorker could be his next victim. Will they ever solve the mystery of who the killer is, or will it never be solved for us the viewers. Overall a very good episode and very gripping. I loved the twist at the end of it.
The good episode that we've been waiting for... hide show
I liked this episode a lot. I liked the case and was immediately caught up in it, trying to figure out how a shark and his victim both washed up dead on a beach. The one thing that puzzles me still is...why the last victim was killed. He didn't appear to be anyone with an ad, which seemed to be how the cabbie targeted his victims. They didn't explain why the cabbie had killed him. I was a little miffed at the ending of this episode but I can appreciate it now. I do hope that they continue this case sometime down the line. Reed was very annoying. I think that his expectations of Mac are too high. Still, I think it was great of Mac to give his not-quite-stepson the scoop on the case.
I feel so bad for Lindsay. She's hurting so much right now. I can just imagine how she'd feel if she found out that Danny had cheated on her. Right now, she's just thinking that he's a jerk. I don't care that Danny tried to be sweet or nice or whatever he was doing. He can't easily make up for cheating the way he did. (I'm still pissed at the writers for doing that).
That Quinn woman was annoying to me. I'm glad she saw what a great group they all were but I wanted her to just shut up and quietly observe like she was supposed to do. I really liked this episode. I feel like it's been forever since I've had an episode of CSI NY that I felt really good about watching. Great entertainment.
How can an episode that featured sharks, chocolate, and murderous cabbies be boring? hide show
There were plenty of twists and turns in this episode, and as usual with CSI:NY you're usually kept guessing, and just when you think that you've got it figured out, they throw another curveball (was I the only one that thought that the last minute client was the killer? I was pretty sure until he got gassed. oops.)
Of course, they didn't leave out the drama. With the team being inspected, it would make sense that they would be on their best behavior. Of course, I have to wonder why Stella seemed a little irritated when Flack asked if Quinn was good looking. Stella also made sure that Quinn knew that she wasn't intimidated by her by letting her look at the microscope. There was also the obvious connection that Mac seemed to have with Quinn, and of course they couldn't leave out Danny and Lindsey.
I know that some DL fans out there may wonder if this might be the end for the favored couple and ask how the writers could do something like this. First, Ruben's death causes a rift between them, then after spending the longest time questioning whether or not they're still together, Danny ends up forgetting Lindsey's birthday, and then makes it so much worse by cheating on her before she breaks up with him. Just when it looks like he's making some sort of effort by playing "Movie Quotes" and suggesting that they rent a movie together, she walks out and leaves evidence on the table, gets talked to by Mac about her relationship with Danny and she comes to regret getting involved with someone she works with. The way I see it (and of course I could be wrong) they're doing this to revitalize the couple. Although what they're going through is more like an axle grinding pothole than a bump in the road, I think that what they're going to do is either 1) Have Danny realize how much he has to make it up to Lindsey and work hard to get her back or 2) Have them decide to be professional, but then the long looks will start up again, and the banter, the flirting, and then they'll be back to they way they were before. At least, that's what I hope will happen.
Good episode, can't wait til the next one.
