CSI: Miami

Eric and Calleigh arrive at the crime scene and an officer asks to see their badges. Eric's is missing but Calleigh vouches for him. She then tells him that losing a badge is major and asks him when did he last saw it. He says the night before he went out and Calleigh asks her if he can call the woman he was with and see if she found it. He says he would if he knew her name. Calleigh says nothing and he explains that he was "toothing" (having random anonymous sex). He asks her if she's gonna tell him something and she says that other than wearing protection he should trace his footsteps and find his badge before he gets another callout. Eric asks her what about the crime scene and she says Ryan just arrived. He thanks her and leaves. At the lab Eric tells H he lost his badge or that someone took it. H asks if he's sure and he says he's looked everywhere. H tells him it's gotta be somewhere, then Eric tells him about the girl he was with. H asks him if he thinks she took it and he says it could be. H then asks him if he has talked to her and Eric says he can't. H reminds him that there's a badge in the wrong hands and Eric says he's aware of it but that he just needs advice on how to handle the situation. H tells him to play it straight and file the paperwork, but Eric says that means involving the IAB and that that's being guilty until proven innocent. H reminds him that he's done nothing wrong and Eric asks him why does it feel like he's going to slit his own throat. Later on Rick Stetler interrogates Eric about the situation. It turns out Eric had sexual intercourse in a public place: outside a closed building. Rick tells him he could've been arrested for indecent exposure and lost his job and his reputation. He adds that he's behavior is reckless and puts the department at risk. Eric tells him that what he did wasn't a crime and that nobody got hurt. Rick says he must have an underlying problem that's making him act this way and connects it with Speedle's death. Eric is upset and Rick tells him that Speedle lost his life and know he lost his badge and then asks him if he's even yet. Eric says the interview is over and leaves. Eric's badge is used in a crime and H goes to cover it; right before he leaves he sees a man who he remembers to be a suspect on his brother's murder. H meets with Rick and asks him if he has something to tell him and he starts to say something about Delko but H interrupts him and tells him it's about Bob Keaton, his brother's killer. Rick says he got life in prison and H asks him why did he see him on the streets today. Rick says it's impossible and H asks if he knows anything about it and he says no, but that he can look into it. H says not to bother: he'll do it. Eric tells Calleigh about his guilt over the badge situation and she tells him that this atypical behavior for him. He tells her what Stetler said about Speed. She says that's interesting and he tells her she knows what he thinks about Stetler and leaves. Meanwhile, Ryan is at Valera's lab and se finds out a suspect is connected to a department case. She tells Ryan it's flagged and that he can't see it and orders him to go. Ryan doesn't and takes a look at the file anyway. The woman turns out to be a rape victim whose name got into the database by Valera's mistake. H finds out that his brother's killer got out of jail on good behavior and Yelina walks in on his phone call. She sees Ray's file and asks him about it. He says he's just seeing that everything's in order. She asks him if he would tell her if anything's out of order and he tells her he would. Eric meets with the woman who he had sex with and asks her who did she give her badge to. She says she tried to get a hold on him but she knew he'd get in trouble if she called the department. He tells her he's already in trouble because the badge was used in a murder. She said she kept the badge in her room but that somebody took it and that she thinks it's her brother. Eric arrests him for murder and gets his badge back. Ryan walks in on Valera packing her things and asks her what is going on. She tells him she's getting kicked out of her lab: relieved of duty. Ryan tells her he's sorry he saw the victim's name and she says it's okay. Valera leaves and an officer comes in her lab with evidence boxes and tells Ryan that Valera's work over the last six months are being reevaluated. He asks the officer if Valera is gone for good and she says she doesn't know, it all depends on what the boxes say. Towards the end of the episode Eric walks into a psychological services office. H finds Bob and asks him what is he doing in the streets. He says he's out on parole. H asks him if he's working undercover and he says just like his brother. He says he shot Ray but that they had to make it look good because it was a drug deal. H then asks him if Ray is still alive and he says yes. Bob tells him he's deep undercover and H tells him that he didn't see him.
