A Reverend gives a sermon and later his DB is found on Warrick's grave. DB (Ted Danson) and Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) show up and talk about Warrick. DB notices a plant by his grave and Nick (George Eads) says he left that there for him, showing how much they still miss and think about Warrick. David (David Berman) finds Reverend Rick Renken (Harrison Page) was shot through the head. DB thinks Warrick may be able to provide them with answers but Brass adds they don't need to bother him as they'll have other answers in this neighbourhood. Nick leaves to find evidence and Brass follows him, talking about how Warrick would be there on Fight Nights at the Strip. He hasn't been here since the funeral, but he thinks about him.
They question gang leader Aaron Voss (Malcolm Goodwin) who knew Warrick as well and he tells Nick seeing blood on Warrick's grave has them 'riled up.' He knows what this is about and he's the one who's keeping things intact for everyone who lives there. Warrick didn't like Voss and wasn't secretive about it. He tells Nick to say a prayer on his behalf to "St Warrick." Nick heads out to talk to Tina (Meta Golding) and sees a drawing on the ground make with chalk, being careful not to step on it. He sees Eli (Terrell ransom Jr) Warrick's son and Tina won't talk to them, telling all the CSIs to stay away or she'll call the police. Most likely would ave been an idle threat seeing the state of her house and how Eli was living in that squalor.
Evidence found on the Reverend's DB and clothing revels he had been to see Tina as there's blue chalk under his shoes, which Nick overhears and also powdered Oxycodon on the bottom of his pants. Sara (Jorga Fox) returns there with Finn (Elisabeth Shue) and have to force their way in. Sara finds Oxycodon on the arm of a chair and Finn overturns the plate revealing cockroaches, as well as the jeans of a man on the chair. The drugs belong to Cliff Paul, someone Tina has been seeing. Brass finds him dead outside his apartment. DB and Morgan (Elisabeth Harnois) search his apartment and find a torch belonging to a CSI with blood and gravitational blood drops which are old. As well as a broken beer bottle. They theorize someone opened the door and Cliff stepped back and out the window. Also finding a .45 in the sofa. Reverend was shot with one.
Morgan thinks the case is spooky since he was found on Warrick's grave and now no one stepped into the beer, as she follows one set of footprints back to the window. DB doesn't think there's anything supernatural involved in not stepping into beer. Finn finds he had an alibi at the time of the murder, he was watching Internet porn. Morgan finds the blood on the torch belongs to Cliff and the blood from the ground belongs to an unknown suspect. Morgan takes the batteries out and finds a print belonging to Warrick so it was his torch, Tina being a suspect now. Greg (Eric Szmanda) thinks that's good of her to analyze the battery. Greg didn't have much to say about Warrick this episode considering he knew him too.
Whilst at Tina's Nick saw a man in a hoodie and they later find him at the cemetery. He was a friend of Warrick's who used to look after him and Tina gave his CSI kit away to James (Kofi Siriboe). He was looking out for Eli and Tina but the police wouldn't answer his calls since Cliff was abusing her. He saw him and hit him with the torch in self defence. The Reverend had also paid a cheque to Cliff for $1,000 showing he was engaged in illegal activities. He made Tina sign her house over to the Reverend. James mentions having strange things happen to him, as if someone was looking out for him as he recalls a bully, Ben stealing his shoes which were later returned to him and no one saw Ben again. James's aunt, Jolene (Michael Hyatt) tells of his mother having mental problems but James is a good boy.
They find the shoes at James's house and Finn shows DB signs of blood spatter. Also there's dirt on the shows which came from a scrapyard near to the restaurant where Ben worked. Finn and Nick search and Finn brings a key fob which will help them find Ben's keys since she saw he had one on his key chain, it will beep if they find him. It's a long shot but it pays off and they find Ben's DB buried underground. The bullet is still inside his head which David will tell Doc (Robert David Hall) about and there's a hair from the liner from the boot of a car. Henry (Jon Wellner) analyzes the hair and finds it belongs to James's father, i.e Voss, well that was obvious since there was no one else there who would have done any killing. Inside Voss's car they find the Reverand's monogrammed handkerchief. He must have left it there when he got into the car knowing he wouldn't return. He was driven to Warrick's grave and shot.
Voss was attempting to protect his son by taking care of anyone who messed with him. But that wasn't being a father. James tells Nick he doesn't know how to deal with him and Nick tells him he wasn't his father since he didn't act like one so he doesn't have to deal with him. Warrick was more of a father to James and he misses him. Nick tells him how Warrick never leaves his side and helps him everyday, James shouldn't let go of him either.
Nick: "Warrick walks beside me everyday. He's the source of a lot of my strength. He's a good friend to have man. Don't ever let him go."
Tina tells Sara she's sorry about not contacting them four years ago but she couldn't have lived if she had seen them. The only one who stopped her from ending it all was Eli cos he needed her. Sara tells her he will always need her but she has to make things right with herself first. Eli will be in foster care until they ascertain her situation in a few days but he's here to see her now. They hug and Nick sees the reunion too and smiles at Sara. Tina will stay in touch with Sara. Sara telling Finn how she came to see her before she went away but Tina wouldn't open the door and Eli would be crying.
Seems Voss killing those people also helped out Tina otherwise she'd still be in the same predicament now. It was touching to see how Nick, Sara and Brass all remembered Warrick and still think about him and how he's still beside Nick everyday. That was poignant since it shows how much he misses him and how they were such good friends. They didn't have Greg saying anything like this which was a bit of a shame. We recall how Warrick left Tina his grandmother's house after their divorce and how he was trying to get custody of Eli. Sara also recalls how he bought a new stereo for so much of his salary and this makes her smile, except when she sees cigarette butts on top. Also how Nick tells Eli he looks like his father and Eli remarks he must have been handsome.
Warrick opened a bank account for James and when he died Voss kept making deposits into it. Another thing which showed he acknowledged his son but not in the way he should have done and killing to keep him safe was going to extremes. Fallen Angels sums up all Warrick was and how he still lives on the minds and hearts of his friends and was a nice way to see everyone reminisce about him, though they would have liked for him to still be here.
The angel Brass pointed to in the beginning, wanted to shout out, "don't blink." Doctor Who fans will know why.
