Greg (Eric Szmanda) and Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) arrive back from court and Catherine comments he should be relieved he wasn't asked if he was a doctor. The Sheriff (Barbara Eve Harris) offers Catherine a job in DC on the Forensic Science Commission, stating you have to "move out to move up." It's not easy for women in law enforcement, hey it's not easy for women in any field. Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) finds two brains were transported. Ryan (Erik Aude) was a suicide and suffered from repetitive trauma. Catherine sees Vartaan (Alex Carter) and doesn't have much to say to him at the scene where another DB has been found. Lt Seligson feel in his backyard and his brain was removed from the Jewish burial site. That's why his brain was taken since it wasn't embalmed, I was going to say 'pickled.'
Catherine believes the brain they found must belong to him and they've got "a brain collector on the loose."
Henry (Jon Wellner) doesn't find the DNA was a match to Seligson. Sara notices yellow powder on the ground, same as she found in Clegg's car, the DB from the accident. Hodges (Wallace Langham) compares the shoe print found at the scene and it matches Clegg's shoes. Morgan mentions DMT: dimethyltryptomine, a painkiller and Clegg had traces of chicken nuggets in his stomach. Hodges posits the food was from Tasty Time and there are 22 in the area since he goes there. Greg checks the receipts from the diner. Sara comments he ordered the no 17 special before. Surveillance shows Clegg met with someone to swap the brains. The plates match a Dr Hanson Eller, a private pathologist.
Leading to the Seneca suicide of Ryan at a cabin there. The certificate was signed by Eller. Ryan's wife, Joyce (Robyn Lively) talks of him suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalitis. DB (Ted Danson) tells her his brain didn't arrive at the hospital. Ryan was a SFF fighter. He had memory problems and he beat her. There's motive. Brass chats with Ryan's son, Declan (Kai Caster)and tells about his own father who used to beat him. Brass finally hit back and it felt good for a second. He was also a cop.
Joyce found Ryan and called a family friend, his trainer Bill (Victor Webster). Eller's car is located with him inside, a GSW to the left temple, a car was parked next to his. Nick finds a 9mm casing on the ground. David (David Berman) finds the brain delivered to the hospital belongs to Seligson and a hack job was done to remove it. Morgan notices the cuts were made in a hurry. Doc says Clegg needed the brain swapped so it couldn't be studied and it was fresh. He wanted to ensure no one found out about the disease.
Hodges gets nuggets to eat and he tells Sara the powder was talcum from the gym. Hodges goes to a gym, he's ripped. Clegg and Ryan were both in the SFF and attended Bill's gym. He's just signed a multi-million dollar deal and he thinks Greg and Sara are a couple, well maybe once upon a time they could have been. DB tells Charlie (Brandon W Jones) he lied to him and his coach. Brass looks at photos from the suicide and sees the gun on the floor. There was no GSR on Ryan's shirt so it wasn't a suicide.
DB says the "smoke and tyres cleared" and they need to get their brains in order. Nick believes Ryan's brain has a secret, DMT is in his brain. Bill could be doping the fighters and the brain would prove this says, DB, "if we could get it to pee in a cup." Hodges analyzes the brain and finds both Clegg and Ryan were using DMT. Bill called Clegg when Ryan died and Joyce was having an affair with Bill which Ryan found out about. She shot him and called Bill. But I said it was Declan, that's why he was so quiet.
DB tells Charlie to go back to school and take his suspension. Charlie feels like a freak and DB tells him he's new here and they're both weird. Others don't understand him here. "We are weird." Nick has the ball, number 17 and DB promises he won't tell anymore stories and Nick cuts the ball open. Ryan played football and it contains drugs. Nick: "I guess you never really know what's important..." The syringes are a match to Bill who still has the gun. Why hold onto the gun? The bullets match and he shot Eller.
Declan tells Brass he shot Ryan and he doesn't regret it. It feels good. Brass doesn't want him to talk but it's too late and he confesses all. Brass was assuming this episode but he's allowed, he doesn't deal with the evidence or forensics, he assumed Joyce was beaten and so she had to shoot him. After relaying his own personal story to Declan about his father; it doesn't occur to Brass that Declan may have been in the same position. Where Brass used his fists, Declan used a gun. The look on Brass's face when he realizes this and the scene fades out on him for a change, and on a sad note.
This is in contrast to DB as a father and his relationship with Charlie, though he lies to him and his coach, he comes clean in the end but he knows he won't get beaten. Catherine is given a chance for her demotion to lead her to better things if she accepts the DC job. DB's story about the cow was about a traffic accident near a ranch, where a horse was injured and the officer shot him to put him out of his misery. The bullet ricocheted off the horse's skull and kills a nearby officer. The chief asks the question: what colour was the horse? Nick: "If you miss one small detail, then who knows what else you miss. Cos you never know what is important," as he later repeats. Hodges: "That is a good story."
Morgan and her brain excitement, she may have a brain fetish! Ha. George didn't get any scenes with his former Savannah co-star Robyn Lively.
