Storyline

Brenda Collett is kidnapped but manages to miss-dial a stranger on her cellphone. Her husband, accountant Mitchell Collett, didn't dare inform the MPD. SWAT traces the call and shoots an armed man storming out, but unrelated, his partner just found the phone, which was automatically recorded in secret by Mitch's employer. A fingerprint leads to Brenda's former lover, who engaged someone just to scare her, but alleges this partner decided to ask a $5,000,000 ransom. Mitch brings in a ransom note with a severed ear, but it's from an anonymous corps. Meanwhile Ryan tricks Eric and Nataloia in giving him permission to date her; even realizing so, she dumps Eric and sets trough. Written by KGF Vissers

Finding The Kidnap Victim & Soap Opera In The CSI Office
26 December 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Some bimbo sipping her cocktail at an outdoor restaurant table gets a call on her cellphone from a desperate woman. She almost hangs up but stays on and hears this woman pleading for help, asking "Mitch" to save here. She obviously dialed the wrong number but at least the bimbo - who is shown to be really shallow - does the right thing by going to a nearby policeman. "Lt. Horatio Caine" (David Caruso) conveniently is nearby and he takes the phone from her and hears a man threatening the woman followed by a shouts from a male and then a gunshot.

The CSI quickly finds out who she was really calling. (It's a little too quick for believability considering all the numbers involved.) They discover that "Mitch" is her husband she was trying to call him. He knows about the kidnapping because he'd received a ransom and death threat if he called the cops. He's frantic, but cooperates with Lt. Caine.

The rest is the usual: every suspect they have who looks like the guilty party only leads them to the next step. This is typical for the CSI shows where you usually don't see the real killer until the end.

Anyway, nothing special but a decent show. A quick sidebar as "Ryan Wolfe" (Jonathan Togo) trying to date "Natalia" (Evan LaRue Callahan). She was Eric Delko's (Adam Rodriguez) former girlfriend who still, obviously, has feelings for the latter. It's all very soap opera stuff but the writers like to fit this kind of stuff in every show.
