CSI 13.20 "Fearless" Review

                                              
Alan Quinn (Matthew Del Negro) conducts a 'Force of Mind' seminar and Elisabetta (Catrinel Menghia Marlon) is attending.  She later takes a dip in the mud bath after calling Hodges (Wallace Langham) to tell him what she's doing and meets up with a man, Santo (Daniel DiTomasso) already waiting for her there.  Making us believe she's having a romantic interlude with him.  They find a DB in the bath.  When I saw pics of this ep I said it looked more like a scene from CSI:Miami since that's what the setting was more accustomed for.

Greg (Eric Szmanda) and Morgan (Elisabeth Harnois) arrive with DB (Ted Danson) and David (David Berman) and Greg tells DB about the two bathers, one of them being Elisabetta.  Hodges also arrives at the CS incase they need some help.  He finds she and Santo are sharing the same room together.  She tells him Santo is her brother and that she was married once for a week, but she still kept his last name.   David tells them about the presence of bruising on his chest and that he didn't drown accidentally.  Quinn tells Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) that all of his guests are accounted for and the DB may be a hitchiker since they can't afford to pay, he lets them stay as long as they don't harm anything.

Greg and Morgan must empty the mud bath and find coins, a bottle, a feather, used condoms.  As well as a wooden bracelet which hasn't been in the mud.  Doc (Robert David Hall) tells Sara (Jorga Fox) of the presence of wooden splinters found in the Vic's forehead as well as a dental implant.  Sara contacts the Vic, Justin's wife, Mary (Emma Fitzpatrick) who tells her her husband worked at a pharmaceutical company and she told him to go on the retreat since she had already been before.  DB, Nick (George Eads) and Finn (Elisabeth Shue) examine at the articles found from the bath and Nick says Henry didn't find any DNA on the condoms.  DB thinks the bracelet and the feather link together to form a smudge feather, used by Native Americans to burn incense.  His parents used the same.  Finn saw the same in the list Quinn had given them.

Finn speaks with Heather (Ashlee Nicole) also an employee of Bixton and Nick questions Jessica (Dichen Lachman) who were both in the mud bath with Justin.  They had the team meeting in the mudbath.  Justin didn't go through with the firewalk and he was upset.  But he could only talk about his wife.  Hodges finds the bruise marks were actually burn marks and the splinters were from the firewalk.  He demonstrates how the firewalk can be done and believes Justin panicked and fell on the firewalk, inhaling the smoke.  Doc tells Greg that Justin's lung tissue shows the internal burns were a result of anaphlyactic shock and he was allergic.  Hodges conducts tests and finds out he was allergic to latex.

Quinn explains he thought Justin wasn't ready for the firewalk and he went back to his room.  Quinn left for his home in Santa Barbara.  Sara thinks Mary would have known about his allergy and had been to the spa before.  Hodges thinks there must have been latex on the firewalk.  Mary thought he and Jessica were in a relationship and drove there but refuelled her car and drove back cos she trusted him.  Greg found pellets on the firewalk which Nick says have the Bixton name on them and are made of latex.

Greg finds the partial print on the pellets belongs to Jessica and she was stealing company secrets, also she can't be found anywhere.  Finn thinks Heather would also know this and could be in danger.  When Finn questions Heather, she acts nervous and hyper, drinking water.  She has an attack and dies.  Finn couldn't see she was agitated and something was wrong with her, asking her if she's okay.  Doc finds magnesium sulphate under her nails and her body is covered with goat hair.  Morgan says magnesium sulphate is used to make Meth.  Hodges also found goat's milk in her stomach.  Jessica admits she's working with the FBI and is part of Corporate Security at Bixton.  Justin and Heather were stealing company secrets and stealing drugs

Zahl was their drug connection.  The Meth lab is discovered and Nick comes across a goat.   Inside the equipment has been destroyed and Sara finds the presence of goat's milk.  Sara: "Got milk."
 Nick: "Got goat's milk."  They also find Mary hiding.  She suffers from a rare disease and the company cancelled drug trials as not many people have it.  Justin was making the drug for her but she didn't know about the Meth.   Nick finds blood drops at the lab which match Quinn, obviously!

Quinn loved Mary, she was his other half and he could fly with her, but she didn't feel the same way about him.  He killed Justin cos he was giving her all those rubbish drugs.  Sara gives Mary Justin's wedding ring and she tells her how she's cured in her dreams and she's flying.  Which has nothing to do with Quinn and his flying remark.  Of course the case would be close to Sara's own personal situation, having broken up with Grissom.

Elisabetta talks to Morgan and asks about Hodges.  She doesn't think he wants to marry her.  Hodges however tells her he's afraid of starting a family and his father wasn't around but he wants to marry her.
Another episode which wasn't that interesting, well I didn't think it was, seems they left a few of the boring eps until the end.  Sara and Nick's remark was funny as I will forever be reminded of that scene between Nick and Grisson when he asked Nick what cows drink and he replied milk.  When the answer was water.  Hey calves drink milk!!
