    I loved this episode! I like how it started raining so they had to quickly gather the evidence that they had. Then they figure out that people were paid to kill the couple. But it was only to kill the wife but then they killed the husband too. which is weird. Ok then cahterine investagated this house collapse that crushed some old ladies. She crawled under all the wreckage wich i though was cool how they showed it and she found a beetle and a beam that was beat with a sludge hammer. In the end it ends up being from olanes flying over it.moreless

    i remember the time i first saw this episode
    i was flipping through channels and came upon this episode. They were investigating a crime scene, then all of a sudden it began to rain heavily and they scrambled to get what they could.
    It got me interested so then I continued to watch. I must say that I had never seen a show like it and although I had heard somewhat of it, I didn't think I would like it.
    I guess I was wrong. And ever since then I would tun in to the show and it just kept getting better and better.
    My favourite part from this ep would probably be the part where they remove the tip of the knife from the girl and use it to match it to the knife that was used to kill the other guy.
    For me, this was the most memorable one of all for personal reasons.moreless

    Grissom, Sara, Nick & Warrick investigate the murder of a couple who are killed in the street on their aniversary and their car is stolen. Shortly after the CSI's arrive it starts to rain & the crime scene is compromised. With no evidence to process the CSI's have to keep guessing what really happened.

    Catherine looks into the collapse of a city owned residence that kills old women. The city engineer responsible for the building dosen't want her investigating but cath want's to do her job. And in the end gets him of the hook.
