CSI: Miami

In this episode of CSI Miami, the following happens. We open with a woman named Meghan returning home and hears someone in side of the house. She goes and gets her gun, but the man inside of the house, walks behind her and stabs her multiple times. She struggles along the floor and grabs her gun. As he leaves she shots at him and he runs. She drags herself across the floor to get the phone to dial 911, but as she does so her blood loss becomes too much for her body and she collapses. The operator tells her that help is on the way.

EMS arrive at the house and start performing lifesaving procedures on the female. She is taken away, and the CSI team come into investigate. The victim, Meghan is still alive but only just. The outlook for her does not look good. But then they get a phone call to say that she is a wake. So H goes to question her about her attack and the attacker. Calliegh goes back to the crime scene and gets a phone call that Eric will meet her there soon. She hears footsteps behind her and thinks it’s him. Only it isn’t, it’s the attacker. He puts a plastic bag over her head, he takes her gun and Eric turns up. Calliegh is freaking out, but manages to save evidence from her attack, before it vanishes (i.e. the smell of her attacker on the bag that he used). The team intwerview someone who may be involved and discover someone there taking pictures. When they look at the pictures back at the lab, they see that someone has been following all of the team and taking pictures of them. When Eric questions the man who took the pictures, we learn that he knows who Eric’s father is. The team soon learn that a string of burglary’s all having one thing in common, the trainer that they all used. Through blood evidence we learn who attacked Calliegh and Meghan. When he is found, he has Calliegh’s gun in his car. Meghan surprised him when she came home and so he attacked her. He is arrested and put into a police car. As this happens Calliegh seems a glimmer and realises that there is a gun. The suspect is shot and killed but H and Calliegh are unhurt. We see Ryan driving his car and pulling over. He sees that he has flat tyres. As he goes in for a closer look someone comes behind him and knocks him unconscious. As the episode ends we see that the team are still being watched. No one can reach Wolfe on his cell phone and then we see that he is being interrogated and beaten.

Okay one of the things that I really appreciated was that the case was not a murder, but attempted murder and the victim actually helped catch her attacker. I loved Eric showing he does have brain cells that work when pulling the fingerprint off the sword. Although the case of the personal trainer robbing clients was pretty predictable but the twist of having Ivan Sarnoff behind it in order to reach the team was interesting. It's understandable that Horatio has to have a nemeisis but I hoping the indications from the previews from next week are a tease and Horatio does indeed know the reasoning behind Wolfe's actions. I think Ryan's had enough of being made to be the bad guy.

This episode is not one of the best I have ever seen, but it is entertaining and is worth the viewer's time. I had a little trouble buying the whole story element about the bullet proof clothing. Not that I don't believe that it exists or can exist, I just don't see how it would be allowed to be sold to the general public. One positive thing to say about the episode is that is very compelling. It has the right amount of suspense to make it work and keep the viewer interested as to where it is going. Entertaining.
