When they find the spot indicated by the kidnapper, they find Amanda body. Meanwhile, the CSI works with the evidences provided by Catherine and Logan looking for suspects.
"The Finger" is, so far, the best episode of "CSI" with a well-written story and screenplay of a masterpiece plan. The viewer is lured until the ending of the episode wrongly guessing who might be the killer. I was misled along the story and probably most of the audiences will also be. My vote is nine.
Title (Brazil): "O Dedo" ("The Finger")
