Storyline

Pool employee Armando Diaz's bloodily battered corps is found in Craig Seaborn's 5-star hotel Graciana's gardens. He was killed in the penthouse, where three wives had a 'husbands nor sex' weekend. Beth Jacobson admits she had sex with him, but when he called her to unattractive to get hard a fight ensued, so she struck him with a towel bar, thrice. He also had safe sex with Felicia Hardy, who claims she didn't realize he was badly wounded when passing out after hitting his head against the bed. Woolf follows a third blood trail, to the staircase and more suspects. It must all be tied in. Meanwwhile chief James Burton warns Horatio his team is under scrutiny, just now there are tensions about sticking up evidence kits, labor division and Woolf's media ambitions, apparently paying off a TV reporter.

User Reviews

Excellent Whodunit With 3 Femme Fatales

This is a very interesting episode that kept getting better as it went along. Some internal investigation is going to take place in the upcoming weeks about members of the CSI crew so the captain suggests to Horatio (who is NOT being looked into) that he let his subordinates take the case.....and see how they handle themselves.....who is capable and who is messing up.

So, David Caruso pretty much has the week off from this episode and we see Eric and Ryan fight it out, so to speak, with one not totally trusting the other (an issue that has been coming on) and Calleigh just doing her thing. What's fun about this episode is that there are three suspects in a towel boy's murder in a hotel: three beautiful women who were cheating on their husbands, all with this hunky towel-boy "Armando." None of them knew the others were cheating. Calleigh gets a confession out of one girl, and the evidence makes it look legit; Delko has the same thing, but with a different suspect, and then Ryan announces they are both wrong! The third woman is the killer. Just who did kill this guy? How about the hotel manager? He's a suspect, too.

This is a wild and crazy story with more immoral people. One woman even claims the air in Miami made her act that way. Maybe it does, as this series seems to be concerned with sex more than the other CSI shows.
