Olivia's boyfriend, Tom (Luke Kleintank) is called and he brings Olivia in. Her mother, Carol (Timi Prulhiere) suffers from asthma and her inhaler was left behind. A tooth was found in the driveway and Natalia (Eva la Rue) back this week, analyzes this, finding it's a match to Tom. He's in the system, as she tells Horatio (David Caruso) cos he applied to work as a teacher. Tom claims he had an argument with her father, Andrew (Jay Karnes) when he told him he's moving in with her. There was more going on here than he was letting on.
Ryan says there's not much to go on, as the evidence was washed away by the water and Delko notices an air conditioning system which seems to be sucking air in. It turn out to be a dehumidifier and here they find cocaine residue. Whilst Ryan checks the garage he notices the water was collecting under the car. In the oil catch they find cocaine. Olivia denies the family would be involved and she doesn't know her father lost his job two years ago.
Sam (Taylor Cole) analyzes the cocaine to discover it was from the 1990's and has traces of pesticide the US paid the Colombians to spray over the crops. Natalia seems to be impressed by this, or rather appears to be humouring her instead. She tells Natalia she's proficient in firearms and got the highest score. Natalia suggests they go to the firing range sometime. She's taken her detective test and can't wait to get back out in the field, as she was previously with the DEA taskforce. Sam didn't tell Walter (Omar Benson Miller) that.
The drugs belonged to Oscar Duarte (Jonathan Banks) who was recently released from prison, but Horatio can't tie anything to him. The visitor logs from the prison show he was visited by Tom who was running the drugs for him. Duarte buried the drugs in a field which was later developed and the Nolan house was built over this. Well those developers didn't do a good job of clearing if the drugs were never found!
Andrew found the drugs and sold them to pay for his mortgage. That's why he fought Tom when he came to retrieve the drugs and his reason for getting close to Olivia. Tom doesn't know the whereabouts of the family. When Calleigh and Tripp went to the house with officer Delarenzo, he was introduced as an 'extra' officer, who puts together Olivia's boyfriend not being this man. analysis leads to Kurt (Blake Shields) the same man at the house and there's a shoot out when they arrive there. Delarenzo is shot in the neck and Tripp can't save him. Tripp's known him since he was ten he tells Kurt and he was a friend of his father's. Another tragedy for Tripp.
On the way to the station, Tripp takes a detour and Horatio is waiting. Kurt doesn't spill on the whereabouts of the Nolan's so Horatio punches him. Again crossing the line. This is getting tedious writing this over and over. Getting away with police brutality endlessly. It's not shown what happens to Kurt. Someone should file a complaint - no really?
Walter had less to do this week. Delko arrives earlier on at the scene and Ryan mentions the shoeprint and Delko not giving him a few moment of glory. Andrew convinces Duarte to let him leave and he'll get his money. He holds up a pharmacy with the gun Duarte gives him and steals money from the till and an inhaler. He then holds the gun on Duarte and pulls the trigger. He wouldn't give him a loaded gun. He throws the inhaler to the floor and Andrew agrees to fly him out of the country on one of the company's planes. Where Calleigh and Delko find him, after a woman calls the police when she spots the van and Duarte spots them both. Andrew goes for the gun and is shot in the process. He tells them where his family is before dying. Horatio arrives in time with the paramedics to save Carol.
Oh look, another shoot out at the airport. Reminded me of Horatio being shot there and left for dead in an earlier season. These CSIs have become so amateurish over the years. No wonder they need to resort to terror tactics. Can't say I enjoyed this episode much. Haven't enjoyed one since season 8. It was about family and what Andrew did to help his but in the longrun he should have known better. Coming good in the end when he saves his family by taking Duarte out of the motel.
Ryan taking shoeprints from the house which Delko matches to Bobby's shoes. Ryan: "what is it with you? You can't let me have two minutes of enjoyment here?" But Ryan is moved when Delko tells him of Delarenzo's death, cos they've all been there and that close to death too.
