Throwing Down The Gauntlet

7.0

By thefanof, Jan 20, 2013

The nun character provided some comic relief in this episode, which the show usually has enough of, but benefited from here. The case was a little bit mediocre here, so I can't give it too high a score.

Strong episode overall though.

Ripped CSI NY episode

1.0

By RonaldSinclai, Jul 04, 2012

Its probably because I have been watching CSI:NY reruns, but this episode had a lot of similarities to CSI: NY Season 1 Episode 19.

1 Cold case of a young girl in link with a new case

2 Spiked drinks

3. Powerful/prominent man and his longtime sidekick as suspects.

4. Prominent man waking up next to a dead girl, in cold case

5. Sidekick framed prominent friend in earlier case

6. Sidekick guilty of both murders.moreless

  Maura Isles: I don't know what you're talking about.
