CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Burked was a very interesting episode on a number of levels. Besides the appearance of the hot Missy Crider as a Long Island accented stripper, we get our first look at the Big Boss of several fictional Casinos, Sam Braun. As the series progresses, we come to learn that Sam is Catherine Willows' biological father, and he becomes a recurring character that sets up many potential conflicts of interest for her as the series goes on.



Still, a couple of interesting insights here:



Sam: First time I ever saw you, you had no clothes on. Right then, I wish I could've taken you home with me.



Catherine: You were married and I WAS A BABY (meaning JUST BORN, not young relative to Sam), it would've never worked.



The very next line, Sam says he wished he'd married Catherine's mother. Once again, setting the tone for things to come.



Overall, a great episode that adds a new plot thread to the show that will be interweaved for the next few years to come.

A great way to start the second season as always great humour,acting.The cast has a great bond and you can sort off feel it in the acting.Great episode in my opinion. I like how the caracters can somtimes determine what theire partner is thinking shows a really strong bond between the team.

The plotline is straight out of classical literature. The son of a wealthy businessman is found dead of an apparent overdose. Further investigation reveals he was murdered. The suspects are his girlfriend and his brother. The wealthy businessman has an obvious connection to one of the investigators on the case. The key to the case turns out to be a mysterious earring back that proves the gold-digging girlfriend innocent and convicts the victim’s wife and brother.



The underlying plot in this episode is the relationship between Sam Braun and Catherine Willows. We find out that they have known each other for most of Catherine’s life. Sam freely gives information to her during the investigation. The end of the episode reveals the history of their relationship. Sam was once involved with Catherine’s mother. He even regrets not marrying her.



It is a very interesting case, pointing the viewer towards the wrong suspect until nearly the end of the episode. It also sets up the plotline for the season three finale and several other episodes that follow that.
