Mermaids & Sex Peverts

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Two cases: first a "mermaid" is discovered dead in the water, right off a pier. Then, a "Boy Scout"-kind of guy is inexplicably killed, shot in the eye as he leaves his downtown residence. Two hysterical both arrive - two wives?? "So much for the Boy Scout angle," says Mac.

Danny, Lyndsay and later Don, work on the "mermaid" while Mac, Stella (still marked but recovering from her recent trauma) and Sheldon take the shooting.

The beautiful young woman in the mermaid outfit was strangled ("the old- fashioned way: with bare hands," says Danny) and then dumped into the East River overnight before being found. Lyndsay, the country girl, recognizes hand scars on the woman identifying her as also being from far way somewhere out west. She feels a kinship to this woman and when - even though they catch the killer - she never finds out "why," it haunts her.

The husband who was killed indeed as two wives. "An committed threesome," married in one ceremony and "one in which we do everything together as normal people do," as one of the freako women explains to an astonished Mac and Stella. Later, they find out that ceremony took place a just a year ago and that the husband had already been married to the other woman for the previous two years. Later, we see a fourth person was added to the mix: a "pinch-hitter" who watched the sex.

So.....as you can read, there is a lot of kinky, sick sex material in here which, frankly, I wish they would leave to the other CSI shows since they already love that stuff....and just stick more to straight crimes on this show, as they did the first season. Nonetheless, this is still a decent episode, just not quite up to standards.
