Mac (Gary Sinise) chases a man down a busy street and is finally caught by him, he tells Mac to take it easy but he replies, "I'm not from around here." Cue back drop of San Francisco.
72 Hours Earlier
A DB of man is found at Brooklyn Bridge and he is identified as Ethan (Sean Harmon). There was no wallet but Flack (Eddie Cahill) IDed him from a tag on his backpack. Inside was an envelope containing photos which looks like a DB of a girl. Hawkes )Hill Harper) says COD is exsanguination as a result of stab wounds.
Jo (Sela Ward) is in her apartment and going at it with some man when she hears a noise, taking her gun she investigates and finds Ellie (Sydney Park) in the kitchen with a boy, Jordan (Colton Shires) she was meant to be at a party downstairs but came back for drinks. She calls the man a "surfer dude with a hairy chest."
Sid (Robert Joy) tells Mac about the eyes and has found a contact lens in the Vic's hair, probably belonging to the killer, well that was easy. The DB girl, Mary's (Christina Scherer) parents arrive and Mac tells them he will find out who did this. They had argued and she presumably ran away, taking the $700 she had saved in her account. None of them recognize Ethan.
Lindsay (Anna Belknap) analyzes trace to find fooprints which could belong to anyone and she couldn't ID the orange particles she found on EDNA. Hawkes finds drug paraphernalia. Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) comments on getting body armour fro Lucy when she's older. Sid arrives for his jaunt out of autopsy which he likes to do for a 'photopsy' and finds the headwounds could be caused by blunt force trauma, thus COD is most likely cerebral hemorrhaging but he doesn't know if she's faking it, since his daughter tried that with food colouring but there's no way to tell. They notice the time on the watch and put the photos together according to the time on her watch. Also in one of the photos Sid notices condensation on the watch which means she could still be alive and was alive when the photo was taken.
Lindsay doesn't find any way to ID the CS but Danny finds a reflection of the Flat Iron building in the broken beer bottle. This gives them the height of the building and where the photo was taken. A canvas of the apartments by Lindsay and Lovato (that's all we needed!) (Natalie Martinez) doesn't reveal any CS or wooden floors. Hey missed my Flack canvassing the apartments, those were fun times never to be had again!! (Except on DVD re-runs!)
Mac IDs the orange paint as being used on the West Coast, thus there are more than one Flat Iron Buildings and this one's in San Francisco. She needs Cade's (Peter Horton) help in this case as he's FBI and he reluctantly agrees since he's on vacation. Ellie refuses to talk to Jo about Jordan and doesn't want dinner either. She finds Jo will do all the talking and Jo doesn't want to talk about Cade either.
Mac watches the surveillance footage of Ethan being attacked, notice the time was stuck on 3.33, that's a nice harkback to Mac and when he used to get those calls at 3.33 in season e episodes.
Mac sees Ethan was there at the wrong time cos the killer was lying in wait for anyone. He stole the drugs since Ethan didn't have a wallet. Adam (AJ Buckley) matches the DNA from the contact lens to Boyd Hackman (Jullian Dulce Vida). Ethan called a man named Oliver Epps (Trent Garrett) who Mary's parents recognize as attending the same school as her but is 19 and she had a crush on him. His phone signal is local but the calls were made from the West Coast.
They manage to track down the CS this time and find traces of blood. Flack and Lovato argue about the Mets and Yankees and who's better, Flack being a Yankee fan since his father steered him in the right direction. Oh no another repeat of a scene with Angell and Flack before they got together, I mean could they not have done things differently here! Lovato notices Boyd and is out the door already in an effort to showcase the same stunt from last ep where she trips his bicycle wheel and knocks him over. I could scream just about now! Another CSI:NY woman who needs to throw her weight around, barring Jo of course!
Boyd tells them they can't prove it was him from the footage and Flack threatens to set Lovato on him, please do and end our misery so she can be taken away! But they have his contact lens that's why he can't see. Adam tells Hawkes he ran away from home three times but never far, once was over a girl but then two other guys showed up. That's cos his homelife will be revisited in an episode later on. He thinks it's better with the evil you know. Adam finds Oliver's prints all over the drug bundle but can't work out the symbol, that's cos it's from the menu, the daisy, also shown in one of the photos. Jo narrows this down in San Francisco and they find Oliver there.
Mac gives chase to Presidio Park and that's where we came in. He says Mary wanted to send photos to her parents so she could stay away from them and he also gave her drugs, which would lessen the pain when he hit her over the head with the bottle. He finally tells them where Mary is and Jo and Mac bring her home. Jo liked the look on her parent's face when they saw her and then tells Mac he'll know the feeling when he and Christine start "plopping out little blonde babies." Mac walks away. Jo in front of her computer gets a video call from Cade and she hopes to come down there one day, as she tells Ellie at home. Ellie is willing to move if she buys her new clothes and Jo can't believe she'd do that for her.
A bit of a routine episode and one that I didn't really get into at all, which is a departure from the norm from me, since I am always into my NY eps. Guess they could have been in San Francisco longer at least and yes I thought CSI:San Francisco too! ha. Have some of the cast moving there, except Lindsay!!
The orange paint used on Golden Gate Bridge was developed in the 1930's, called 'International Orange' and can only be used on the bridge as Mac says. The title of course refers the distance between New York and San Francisco. Sid asking Mac if he's familiar with the words of "Heraclitus or Ephesus." Lovato dressing up Flack's desk in Mets colours was all we needed! Not.
Hey Ethan was played by Sean Harmon, Mark Harmon's son, didn't recognize him there for a minute! Jo and he r'love' interest came out of the blue, figured she needed someone to give her this personal storyline, since everyone else was getting one this season. Those Post-Its have been removed from her computer, there were only two there now. One saying something about 'Employee evaluations in 6 days.'
