Greg (Eric Szmanda) looks at Catherine's empty desk and is interrupted by Nick (George Eads). They've both spoken to Catherine and she showed them all "how to fly straight." Well that was Catherine's first bit of name dropping and the next part comes at the end from DB and Sara doesn't mention her by name when she talks about someone who used to work here who used to keep DNA of her child. A bottle of blood in the fridge.
The sheriff (Barbara Eve Harris) refers to the killer as a homicidal maniac. DB informs her eleven women came forward and the press have to be told, but she finds the need for them to solve it. Brass: "I think she was looking at you when she said that." Morgan (Elisabeth Harnois) and Sara process the CS and Morgan says she opened the door to the killer, her tooth was knocked out by the force. Sara can't find any products or packaging and Sara tells Morgan she should watch herself since the killer dyed her hair blonde. Morgan comments Sara should too.
Eva's sister Bridget (Rose McIver) is angry that they should have been told about the killer, especially since Greg tells the sheriff that they knew about him three weeks ago. Nick says he would bring back her sister if he could. She was dressed in retro dress and sunglasses and Bridget claims she hated that style. Doc Robbins (Robert David Hall) finds the injuries weren't caused peri mortum. COD was morphine overdose and the killer added hair extensions to repair the cut hair but he didn't find the right colour.
Hodges (Wallace Langham) sorts through the hair samples and processes each one and finds 26 samples. He asks Sara if she's seen the Japanese movie The Ring, where the girl vomits hair. Sara thought the only Japanese culture he was into was octopus porn, from 12.1 73 Seconds. The hair could refer to a list of future Vics. They need to follow up on the list of women. Paula watches DB and one Vic didn't show up, Joyce (Brittany Beaudette Dunn). Brass finds her DB and she's dressed in retro clothes. Sara comments he sued ammonia to blind her and DB says she was alive when he did this. Paralytic pills were found in her which made it easy for him to make them over. Thus pointing to a doctor or to someone with such knowledge. This makes him harder to catch and he's more confident.
DB convinces the sheriff to alert the press cos all these women are in danger and they could save one, unfortunately this wasn't the case and not especially the one DB was concerned about, no wonder she was the only one who got his card, so she could call him twice when in trouble. Hodges stands behind the dress as he talks to Nick who can't help but laugh. He spoke with his mother (for future ref as she's making an appearance soon.) she's an expert and "still has the figure for it." Yes cos she's Jaclyn Smith and I can't wait to see her. The 1978 reference must be an allusion to her when she was younger and on TV in Charlie's Angels. The dresses were stored in mothballs. Nick thinks it must be someone he was trying to turn those women into.
DB tells Sara they can garner a picture of his obsession from the dresses and he goes to his "psycho place" when serial killers are around. Putting them to sleep re the morphine he thinks is an act of kindness. Sara goes to her "Ted Bundy" place and thinks it wasn't kindness, he "gauged" out their eyes. Morgan analyzed the hair and it came from one person. She ran an isotope ratio and the woman has been to Japan, Germany and Las Vegas, the hair had cancer meds. Leading her and Sara to the hospital and the Dr Bill Ryan (William Ragsdale). SO obviously it was him, the way he was looking at that nurse when she touched her hair and also he was so helpful in leaving the file out for them. (As suspects in CSI:Miami always are helpful.) The woman is Ided as Lucinda Kemp (Jill Larson).
DB calls her the "killer's muse" and Brass Brass adds, "your muse is a dead ringer." Paula panics when a delivery man knocks at her door, that was a false alarm. They get night deliveries. Delivery men over here aren't so persistent, they knock once and run off, leaving the parcel outside. Brass: "Hoping Norma Desmond can ID our killer." Norma Desmond was the character played by Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard, an aging actress who refused to accept her mortality and growing old. Lucinda doesn't recognize the girls and is accompanied by her son Adam (David Gallagher). But Jeffrey makes her wigs. Adam was a bit uptight so we'd cast suspicion over him. How come no one could tell she was wearing a wig.
Sara tells Jeffrey (Roger Bart) to "stop looking at my hair." Greg finds the dresses at his place and Morgan finds a bottle of morphine, which was an obvious plant. He would have Lucinda's hair if he made her wig. DB tells Sara they need a DNA match on the hair. Paula calls for help when she's being attacked but it's too late DB says the killer panicked and killed her good. He wants Nick and Greg to thoroughly process the CS. Brass: "their best suspect was in custody." Nick comments on the hair not matching the Vics so it wasn't Jeffrey, so Greg posits it could be Adam. Nick finds some short, brown hair in the blood and Greg spots the corner of a photo in the mirror and finds the photo. Another dead ringer for Lucinda, so they think it's her. Oh why would the doctor need a photo if that was his mother in the photo? Surely he'd know from memory as he's made up three Vics we know about so far.
Nick spots a fingerprint on the photo and matches it to the Doctor. It was his mother in the photo and DB watches Paula's DB. He tells Sara of a serial killer in Seattle and he thought of his daughter. He keeps the plasters of his children in the fridge for DNA references. Sara tells him of a woman who used to work here who did the same. Greg finds the DNA on the hair doesn't match Adam. The doctor actually tries to run which may have been a first especially when it's apparent he's cornered. Sara tells him he dressed them up like his mother was coming back. They found all the products, make-up in his house. He was everything to Lucinda and DB calls him a "mama's boy." He killed his mother by giving her a morphine overdose and DB can't sit in the same room as him.
DB calls Catherine as there are some things he doesn't take home to his wife. He lost one and he feels he "could have done something more." This ep was personal for him and mentions his daughter this ep just to show the effect the job has on him and how personal it can get, as all the other CSIs have shown in the past.
Dressing up Vics has been done before in CSI and in the Pilot episode with serial killer Paul Millander, he became a suspect when his fingerprint was found on the tape recorder used for one of his Vic's. In 7.18 Empty Eyes, Sara holds the hand of a Vic who dies and she comments how they show up too late to meet the Vic. Nick asking her if she's okay. Here DB showed up too late to save the Vic and had already met her. Nick again showing his caring side too as he comforts Bridget.
Roger Bart you may recall always plays the killer role, as in Desperate Housewives and in CSI:Miami season 8, hey he killed Jesse (Eddie Cibrian.)
