A couple is beat while kissing. Someone walks up on them and hits him then rapes and tries to kill her. The guy bled out. The girl lived but barely. The girl had skin on her retainer. The boyfriend wasn't the dead one. The dead boy was someone else. The boyfriends prints were on the champagne bottle found at the crime scene. The skin in the womans retainer had part of a penis. It wasn't the boyfriends DNA. Tyler traded his watch for a kiss. Blood drops were on his dock. The Hamiltons had the guest house demolished. Evidence points to Tyler Hamilton. The nose piece found was Tyler's uncle. Blood was also found on Drake's eyeglasses.moreless

A complex case involving a murdered young man, a beaten, possibly raped girl, a 15 year old case that haunted H and a very well-connected family.

A good one that keeps you guessing, about the ultimate denouement if not the actual perpetrators. When a dead young guy turns up on a beach with his throat slit and his face burned, original suspicion falls on the boyfriend of a young woman who has been found a little way away, beaten, possibly raped and left to die. But his presence at a party held at the house of a very prominent Miami family starts to point fingers in some very difficult directions.

The family is headed by a guy Horatio had had a previous run in with in a case that could not be prosecuted because of a lack of evidence - and because the guy had lawyers. Now that his son might be somehow involved, the lawyers start coming out of the woodwork again.

It's a good episode overall, with the usual mix of forensic explanation and discovery and characters doing themselves and each other no favours. The ending is satisfactory for once, though I did think that once the 'perps' had been identified and caught, the explanation of H's old case that he tells to Megan was a little superflous. It would have been stronger done earlier, so that we knew exactly why H was so personally involved.

It's also interesting to see H actually doing some scientific investigation himself, which in later episodes and series he doesn't really do. He's usually the one giving the instructions or standing over the people with the microscopes.

Definitely worth a look.moreless

- Horatio: Therein lies the rub, my friends.
  It's a misquote, but it's an allusion to the famous phrase uttered by Hamlet in Shakespeare's play of the same name. The original says 'there's the rub'. Rub in this case means the obstacle or sticking point.
