Jesse (Eddie Cibrian) enters a building and appears to shoot at Walter (Omar Miller) who is clearly shocked.
8 Hours Earlier they both play basketball - hearing sirens. Jesse thinks they could use their help. A car crashes after the police chase and the occupant runs. Jesse and Walter apprehend the driver, finding a DB in the boot of the car. The driver says he didn't have a choice, to which Horatio (David Caruso) replies, "Everybody has a choice." There's no blood in the car and fibres on the DB's sweater, which Horatio believes could be from insulation. The driver says he was hijacked.
ME Tom (Christian Clemenson) finds the COD to be chemical. Ryan (Jonathan Togo) trying to be clever, says he's no ME but believes the COD to be a blow to the head. It's actually chemical asphyxia, leading to respiratory and cardiac arrest. His trachea and lungs were inflamed. So he was probably in prolonged agony and took about 12-13 hours for him to die. His federal ID shows he worked for the US Census Bureau.
Jesse apologizes to Natalia (Eva La Rue) for the other night and standing her up. Natalie comments "something in a sequin dress" came up. Natalia refuses to work with Jesse, but goes to canvas the houses with Ryan. Calleigh (Emily Procter) can't wait to get the boot in, "Something tells me this happens to you a lot." Same thing can be said for Calleigh!
Marie (Sharon Pierre Louis) is outside washing cars and works for Paula Olson (Kathleen York). She has nothing to say and her employer, Olson sends her in abruptly and Calleigh explains that assaulting a police officer is a crime. Ryan and Natalie come across a foreclosed house and Ryan sees insulation inside the house and calls Horatio. Ryan gets to kick in the door here. Natalia smells ammonia, thought Ryan would've smelt that when he was outside, since he appeared to be sniffing. There's a rat poison box, duct tape, a bottle of ammonia and latex gloves. They chance upon the meth lab in the next room and it's about to blow. Natalia and Ryan are caught in the explosion. (That's been done before, they always seem to find themselves in danger in CSI:Miami, more so than in the other two shows.)
Natalia can't move and Horatio and Ryan must help her out. She calls Ryan brave for helping her out. Ryan says she should go to the ER but she wants to stay on the case and already you can see that something's not right with her. Also everyone who gets injured in CSI:Miami, refuse medical help, if they can. Just like Calleigh refused to go to hospital after being caught in the fire. Horatio is adamant they need to find who owns the house.
Marie is concerned about the explosion, which Calleigh picks up on. Did you notice Marie look down and left when Calleigh was questioning her, a sure sign of lying; when she said she didn't see anyone in the house.
Tripp (Rex Linn) traces the house as belonging to Kevin's (John Patrick Amedori) father and shows him the keys to his house. Kevin explains he was good at chemistry and a messenger, Tech, (Alexander Bedria) at uni paid him to cook meth. He tells them about another meth lab. Ryan finds a clock and Horatio finds copper wire from the house that exploded. There was a time delay device, so the house didn't just explode but the meth labs have bombs planted in them. Starting a frantic attempt to warn Jesse and Walter, but both their phones are off. Once inside the building, Jesse hears a sound and spots a trip wire and a clock. It's a pipe bomb, he shoots at the clock and not as it may have appeared, at Walter. Walter's shaken and needs to sit down and Jesse comments that "Boa was in the middle of the blast and she's still standing." Walter pulled the wire when he opened the gate. The clock was a time-delay detonator.
Horatio accuses Kevin of setting up his team and loses his temper, which is a rare moment indeed! Christopher Perez (the census taker) was invited into the house by Kevin and was tied up in the meth lab. Kevin claims he was dead when he went in there 30 minutes later. Horatio tells Kevin he'd "better hope he finds him."
ME Tom after further analysis concludes that Christopher died a quick death within 30 minutes and he ingested rat poison. The gas from the poison entered his bloodstream. Natalia reads up on th decibels explosions, which can be as high as 150-153. She puts on her headphones and turns the volume high. Ryan likes this song but she can't hear him. Natalia replies that she always used to listen to music and Ryan asks since when , which is what I also said. He tells her his ears are ringing.
Calleigh notices the scarf in the evidence brought to the lab. The evidence links Marie to murder. She left it at the house when she went to see Kevin. He was helping her by getting money for her to leave her employer. She came here to get an education, but she beats her. She knows Tech and tells her he hangs out at Bayfront.
Tripp tells Tech he's lucky he didn't break his neck, after giving chase and that they have his "lifestory in paperback."
Natalia processes the scar and finds saliva from Christopher with traces of rat poison, but no prints. Horatio tells her "nothing is impossible." When she doesn't get anywhere with her analysis. He takes the scarf and conducts his own analysis using gold dust to lift prints. Which Jesse has never seen before. The process is called vapour metal deposition. The gold dust is attracted to the oils, when heated, evaporates and the dust attaches to the prints forming a thin coating. Partials are revealed during this process and they could be from the same finger. Jesse compares them to Tech and Kevin, naturally they would belong to Tech. He manipulated Kevin into thinking he'd killed Christopher. Horatio tells him he'll get a surprise in prison. Jesse tells Kevin drug dealing is a first degree felony and they're trying to help Marie.
Calleigh arrests Olson for imprisonment and she says she pays her salary, Calleigh adds, "in which case, I deserve a raise." Natalia's hearing is affected as we knew after all. Horatio says Marie will be able to go to school now.
Don't much like the use of showing events first and then turning back the clock to show how we arrived there. CSI:Miami uses a lot of those scenes, media res, and CSI:NY has too. Here it doesn't feel necessary or interesting, since we know Jesse would never shoot Walter. Now Ryan - maybe (joke!) Calleigh being the one to help out Marie this time round and noticing that something was wrong between her and her employer, what a vile woman, pity she didn't resist arrest more violently, ha.
Natalia shrugging off Jesse's attempt at an apology, which he just seemed to mention for the sake of putting it out there, cos it was necessary and not because he sounded like he wanted to. Natalia showing her obvious abruptness to Jesse for brushing her off like that when Ryan suggests she and Jesse check the houses together. Then Jesse refers to her as Boa Vista (we sometimes call her 'Boa Constrictor'.) How many shades of red and orange did you notice when Natalia was in the lift and everyone was walking around in the lab.
John Patrick Amedori is of course lead guitarist and sings harmony vocals in Carmine Giovinazzo's band, Ceesau.
