Episode Summary

An 18-year-old girl is stabbed to death in a bathroom of a popular Miami nightclub. Horatio learns that the victim was an investigative aide working for Alcohol Beverage Control and was monitoring underage drinking. As Horatio interviews the club's owner, an unknown man drives by the club, sees that the police are there, and crashes his car while fleeing the scene. However, the case gets more complicated when they discover another murdered victim inside the car. DNA from the second victim's watch ultimately leads them to a day spa where the services may not be entirely legal.

At times like these I am glad that I don't drink
This is what the show was telling people about
Drinking will kill you in the end
This episode where a teen is found stabbed at a nightclub
As well as another victim
Proves that there may be more perbertraitors
That may have been involved in their killings
Drinking isn't worth it at all
Could ruin relationships, not just destroy the one who drinks lives, but their families and friends lives in the process along with it!moreless

Well..what can I truly say about "Legal"? It was about a girl who helped bust clubs who let underage people drink was murdered. You think it's because of that she was killed. Turns out it wasn't. The man who killed her did so because she didn't let him buy her a drink. Unless you have some kind of mental disorder, no one would kill somebody for that reason. The 2nd murder was of a man who was involved with a prostitution ring fronting as a massage parlour. This episode was very boring, too case-centric. It was so obvious who the killers were, you could tell about 10 minutes into each case. Overall this was a mediocre episode.moreless
