I should have seen that an episode such as this would air in November, a sweeps month for the networks. Despite that, I found this episode to be just terrific. Both storylines worked well along side one another. The opening scene of the wedding guests doing their best impression of UFC was very well done. It also does a good job of grabbing the viewer's attention. The story focusing on Mac was also very well done and plausible. CSI: NY has been hitting all the right notes so far this season. Hopefully the Writers Guild strike will not effect things.moreless

We got a lot of clues in this episode about Mac's mysterious caller and about Mac's life but it didn't really answer any questions except to draw us to Chicago. Hmmmm. Questions Questions Questions Another good thing about this episode is we got one weird way to wrap a body in this one. How many other shows would show you how to stuff a body with packing peanuts and wrap it with bubble wrap. Very original. There was a lot great scenes with Lindsay and Stella this week investigating the puzzle pieces and I am really enjoying the character of Adam. I am not sure about this whole Stella/Drew thing. His have a creepy feeling too him but then again isn't that too obvious and unoriginal since she has already been down that path. Don't really care -- I do enjoy looking at Kerr Smith though.moreless

I watch this show regularly and after awhile most of the episodes sound routine. That's how this one started out but it sure didn't end that way. Mac Danny and Hawkes accompany Flack to a murder at a wedding where they discover the groom has been murdered. Meanwhile after testifying Stella discovers a mysterious box on her vehicle. She discovers pieces to a 3-D puzzle. When it's rebuilt it turns out to be inomplete and two of the completed buildings are missing pieces. Eventually tmore pieces are found and the puzzle is complete except for the two pieces missing from the building. The CSIs are stumped until Mac arrives to take a look at it...and realizes it's about him. As I said it strted out in a pretty routine fashion and I found myself watching the first 45 minutes casually. Then I found myself glued to the tv for the last 15 minutes. Why? For one thing I've been following The 333 Stalker arc wondering who it was. Then this side storyline about a puzzle reveals that it was sent by 333. Why? That question was not answerd. What was answered was that this stalker has been following Mac throughout his career possibly even most of his life. Now as 333 has led Mac back to Chicago and the camera pans out giving a very errie glimpse of Chicago Mac is closer to the truth than ever.moreless

Probably one of the most well done episodes of NY of the CSI thing. As it shows a lot more about Mac as he drives to Chicago, which is ironically, Gary Sinese's real life hometown to solve a puzzle in a jigsaw. We learned things about him and his dead wife. Also we learn a sort of Hatfields vs McCoys thing about two feuding families who didn't get along really well. As it took a wedding cake thirty-five hours to get ready. I mean, that also has to be one expensive cake. As the groom turned up dead making his bride a widow in one day. Really good to see that Mac proposed to his wife on the rooftops!moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Goof: When Mac is taking a picture of the yellow paint trace on the shoe, he takes it sidewards instead of facing the sole, which does not really makes sense. However, the picture shown after he snaps the camera is a more frontal view of the shoe, which makes a lot more sense, but still is inconsistent with his position when he took it. Edit
- Stella: Mac, why didn't you tell me? Mac asks the very same question in 3x17 The Ride when she confesses him that she cut herself on the Emery Gable crime scene. Now it's vice versa. Edit
- 3 boxes, 3 pieces of material and 3 incomplete buildings in the puzzle; statistics tie up nicely with the 333 plot. Edit

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Flack: So the Hatfields and the McCoys couldn't keep it together long enough to merge the family fortunes... Flack, when he arrives at the scene and is discussing the case with Mac, makes a reference to the Hatfields and McCoys. The Hatfields and McCoys are the U.S. version of the Montagues and Capulets (from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet). They are two feuding families, from the nineteenth century, from the West Virginia/Kentucky border river area. Edit
- Title: One Wedding and a Funeral. The title of this episode is a take on the 1994 comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral starring Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell. Edit
