Cue Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) and Nick (George Eads) who search for the shooter. The casino is meant to be in lockdown. Archie (Archie Kao) hacks into the surveillance cameras leading Nick and Brass to the killer, but it turns out to be a woman. He's spotted elsewhere, but when they arrive, he's disappeared into the hotel rooms. Sara (Jorga Fox) thinks she's cornered him, but it turns out to be Mitch (Larry Mitchell).
Gladys the casino winner tells Finn (Elisabeth Shue) the gunman had a bloody nose. The Vic is Dr Dennis Kiel (Vaughn Armstrong) and his cash and credit cards are missing. David (David Berman) finds he was shot once and there are no exit wounds so the bullet is still inside. Blood drops are also near the DB, which belong to the killer.
DB (Ted Danson) and Finn re-inact what could have happened and find the second bullet in one of the slot machines, since two shots were heard. This has to be transported back.
Nick and Morgan (Elisabeth Harnois) do a search of the rooms and a bikini clad woman, Shelley (Sonia Rockwell) opens the door. Nicky doing a 'Flack' (Eddie Cahill) from CSI:NY here in ogling her. She was waiting for the man to return. She spent the night with him and even made a video. Sara and Brass find the Doctors son, Avery (Jackson Pace) in his room. His father had won $800 at the slot machine, hey Gladys won $4,000. Sara notices the computer which they need. That was a clue.
Doc Robbins (Robert David Hall) finds the Doctor's liver is chopped to pieces, calling it "chopped live.r" He also finds bullet fragments and the jacket; as well as an hourglass shaped object. Finn finds the same from the slot machine.
Nick and Morgan continue their search and this time, Lee (Andrew Keegan) answers the door. The man in the photos is his roommate and he acts suspiciously. Nick finds size 13 shoes which belong to him. His name is Jordan (Christopher Maxwell) and Nick wants to take Lee downtown and tells him to get a jacket form the closet, where they find Jordan hiding out. Jordan claims he's not in the photo. His alibi checks out as he's seen coming back from a game with Lee. But Archie also finds him on camera with Shelley.
Henry (Jon Wellner) discovers the blood from the casino matches Jordan, as does the condom DNA. However the prints on the wrapper aren't a match. The shooter and Jordan could be identical twins.
Morgan finds Jordan was the only child born on that date and checks his financial records. The man with Shelley is identified as Xavier, (Joshua Desroches) who is found in a hotel room in bed with twins. He didn't kill the doctor either. Someone was pulling our leg with this episode and having lots of fun in the process with all these clues and misinfo!
Both Jordan and Xavier won free trips to Vegas. Finn suggests they use antibody profiling, since that's her speciality, to determine who fired the gun, but the blood samples aren't a match. The twins were born to different families at different times.
Jordan's mother, Vivan (Stepfanie Kramer) arrives, a lawyer who tells them she had IVF treatment and the doctor was at the same clinic. He took the remaining embryos and instead of destroying them, he gave them to other families.
Finn solves the bullet mystery discovering they were 'No Rico' bullets, so the gun most likely belongs to an air marshall. Another child is found, Kevin )Joshua Desroches) and he has had air marshall training. He is found dead in his room, the result of an OD. He's left a suicide note on computer. There's that pesky computer again and who else had one in his room - Avery. So he has to be a suspect, since they have had child killers in this show before, but also cos of the computer found earlier by Sara.
Doc Robbins finds Kevin had a blow to his head and the pills were already in the Scotch when the bottle was forced into his throat. DB thinks the twins must have left some DNA behind somewhere. They think the Vegas trips were booked by the doctor and he withdrew large sums of money from the bank to pay them off as they had such miserable lives. Whose fault was that - life is after all what you make it.
DNA on the bottle leads to Avery. He's another child. They're all brothers and Avery arranged the trip. He forced Kevin to drink form the bottle but he didn't kill the doctor. That was Kevin and he was left to take the fall as the other two split the money. Avery claims his mother was the only one who loved him and his father was cold towards him. He refuses to turn on the twins and prefers to take his chances in court, since they are his only family. He went to elaborate schemes just to kill his 'father' when in a few years he'd have left home anyway. The twins may have been his family, biologically, but he didn't really know them and they left him to take the blame and walked away with the money.
Stepfanie Kramer whom you may recall from Hunter had a very brief role in this.
Brass: "I'm not, like impressed with her story."
Sara: "...she's a defence attorney, she's not a criminal."
Brass: " don't see the distinction."
Everyone telling Archie that at least he knows it's the same suspect he's looking for, when Archie is fed up of his face!
Have to say, CSI has vastly improved in most of its storylines this season which is good for a show running 12 years and now 13.
