Someone uses a laser light to blind a pilot and bring down a jet, which carries $1.2 billion in checks to be delivered to banks on the eastern seaboard. The crime scene evidence reveals a victim, a young fundraising socialite, who was inside the plane but killed prior to the crash. Now, although the team has little to work with since the victim's wealthy family is opposing an autopsy, Horatio must follow the money trail. Meanwhile, Calleigh works on the case with her ex-boyfriend, Detective Hagen, and their romantic history could cause problems for both of them.moreless

The last time a case investigated included a plane was in the Pilot episode of CSI Miami, this time round it's done better.

Another decent episode from Bruckheimer et al.

The development of the characters continues with a look into Caleigh's romantic involvement with one of the Detectives (her ex) and one of the Secret Service (her new beau?).

Guest starred a quite under-rated actor, one Michael Landes (the original Jimmy Olsen in season one of TVs Lois and Clark).

Certain Law Enforcement divisions here in the UK have all just been issued the RIM Blackberry 7230 Handheld Cellphone and it's nice to see one of the CSI characters (the aforementioned Secret Service guy) using one. I have one and they're an amazing piece of Kit and I'm surprised something similar hasn't been on CSI before..moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Goof: When the crashed plane flies over the pool party, you can see it has two engines, one on each side. However when Calleigh is searching through the wreckage, you can see, one set of twin side by side engines. We can also see the twin engines again when Delko and one of the CSI Techs recreate the crash on the computer. Edit
- Goof: The plane flies over the party crowd, crashes, and leaves behind a straight trail in the grass, yet the crowd somehow comes running to the plane from the front. Edit

- Caitlyn Townsend: You're fired. Nick Marshall: Are you kidding me? When I first met you, you were a junkie. Caitlyn Townsend: I kicked heroin. Now I'm kicking you. Edit
- Hagen: Are you sleeping with him? Calleigh: This conversation is over. Hagen: (grabs her arm) What if I don't want it to be over? Calleigh: Then you better remember what I do for a living. Edit
- Nick Marshall: I'm not going to deny I had a relationship with Heidi, she's 19, we're both consenting adults. Horatio: Until you found out she was pregnant, you didn't consent to that did you? Nick Marshall: I'll take a paternity test, if I'm the father I'll honour my financial obligations. Horatio: With embezzled funds Nick? Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Nick Marshall: Look, she went all Single White Female with it. (referring to Heidi Dillon) 'Single White Female' was a hit movie in the early 1990's, starring Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh as room-mates. The allusion is because Nick is trying to convince Horatio that Heidi killed Caitlin because she was jealous of her life and her boyfriend, the same reasons Leigh's character tried to kill Fonda's character.
