People over the city are left brown envelopes all containing a cheque for $1 million. As the news reports the generous act of a philanthropist. Well if you recall Sid (Robert Joy) and his invention, there really was no mystery behind who this "guardian angel" really was. So I don't know why they made a big deal about it. Other than for the other storyline where Jo (Sela Ward) would relentlessly pursue it until she found the ID but also to be there for Sid.
A lawyer is found dead and Lovato (Natalie Martinez) just couldn't get enough of the jokes of his being a sleazy lawyer running those commercials for business. Yeah it was really funny wasn't it, about as funny as you not being able to utter a coherent word and no your voice isn't all husky and sexy either! As for the comment about lip enhancements and never finding one that worked, no comment. Quick stop me before I have a Lovato hate fest! ha. They were having one of those CSI:NY moments they used to have though, especially with Stella and one of her insensitive comments. Hated to see Hawkes (Hill Harper) get in on it too, though cos he's better than that.
Mac: "...whatever it was though somebody clearly used it to blow the mind of Manny Hindle."
Hawkes finds some sort of residue from the CS. Also the shot was a through and through his forehead. Mac (Gary Sinise) pulls the bullet from the frame on the wall and finds there aren't any striations or markings.
Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) is having a quick lunch on the go and didn't wait for Lindsay (Anna Belknap) (who would?) as the news is on the TV. Jo and Adam (AJ Buckley) also watch as Mauricio Flores (Tyson Turrou) says he's going to do everything his mother wanted him to and move from the Projects. Jo writes his name down to run a check on him and finds out his mother was a Vic of crime. As were all the other recipients too, each one was connected to some crime. Adam tells her the only money he ever got was extra change from the vending machine and Jo tells him he should give it back. As they go on a call.
Flack (Eddie Cahill) tells them of Justin (Daniel Amerman) who was shot. Adam finds his computer is missing and there's some sort of metallic residue on the desk which forms an outline where something large has been removed. Jo finds a memory stick/flashdrive. Hawkes finds the residue he found tests positive for GSR. Lindsay is unable to find any trace on the bullet. Sid tells the others to stop watching TV and get to work. Obviously cos he doesn't really want to hear about himself on the news! Then conducts the autopsy on Justin. The bullet matches Mannheim too.
Adam talks with Michelle on the phone and gets pretty cosy with her when Jo and Mac walk in. Of course Adam would be told by Mac to get to work! He breaks Justin's password to find he was at the Triborough club, some hip young club. Mac wants him to see what calls were made on the phone as Flack and Lovato check out the video footage from the club. Yeah cos it really takes two to do that! Giving Lovato time to grill Flack on what he really likes doing cos he wouldn't be seen dead at one of these places, as we already know from past experience. She tells him he'd rather be at an Irish pub, as opposed to Salsa dancing he tells her. So she asks what he really likes to do and he mentions ping pong. Thus he challenges her to a game and well, winner can get to choose anything. Oh quick pass the bucket! Another blow by blow scene with Angell, cos it was too much to ask for them to come up with anything different. It's no wonder people lost interest and ratings fell. Come to think of it, Angell was killed off cos of expenses, which was the CBS excuse, but by now they had enough money to bring in Lovato!! Really?
Flack sees Jason walk in and then leave with a blond man on the video. Adam finds Jason made calls to a man named Andy Stein (Jeff Branson). He's questioned and says he was meant to meet Jason but he didn't show up. Flack checks him leaving the club by himself and didn't see anymore cos a truck obstructed the camera. Hawkes discovers what Justin was working on after finding files on his flashdrive, he was making a 3D gun. (Already covered in CSI 13.9 Strip Maul ep). He shows them the finished sample and Mac tells then that's why there was no striation on the bullet.
Jo watches the news again and a man named Richard Kemp (Bill A Jones) comes forward as the anonymous guardian angel. Jo doesn't buy it since he's just cashing in on the publicity. Jo receives the envelope Rhonda (Nicole J Butler) was given and checks it for prints. Of course no surprise they would come up as Sid's. Lindsay tests the gun and finds when the gun is fired the second time it explodes, that's why there was residue at the second CS. Thus the killer would have injured himself. Danny and Lindsay ring round hospitals and find one man, Andy Lewis (Stephen Snedden) who has priors. Danny and Mac arrive to arrest him and find he's printing a gun. He tells them Justin talked with him and told him about the gun. He took him back to his place and printed one out for him. He killed him and then killed Mannheim cos he slept with his wife when she saw him for a divorce.
Mac tells Jo they'll give the printer to the Brooklyn Museum of Science and will keep the software under warps. Inevitably someone will find a way to print the gun but no one needs to know yet. She tells him she may have found the ID of the guardian angel but won't reveal it. That's cos it's Sid following on from his patent story in The Ripple Effect. He wanted to leave something behind and help those Vics who just stood out for him. He tells her he has Hodgkins lymphoma and is dying. He wants to see what people would do with an inheritance. Jo will be there for him and he promises he won't say goodbye just yet. Ahh so sad, so it's just as well that this was the final season. Enjoyed watching Sid. Robert Joy was one of the better cast additions.
As for Flack and Lovato well he wins the game and then kiss outside, just like he kissed Angell outside and walked away from her but this time they drive away together! Their line about enough done playing ping pong, should have added now let's go shoot some pool! ha. For obvious reasons!
Danny had precious little to do again, aside from his "50 Shades of Manny" line. Jo mentions North by Northwest a great Hitchcock film with Cary Grant.
