So Far, The Most Interesting Episode Of The Season

Most of the CSI shows try to grab you with some sensational opening shot, and this one certainly does as a man's parachute fails and he crashes to his death in the middle of Manhattan. The thing is, he was a professional and someone caused this death to happen. It's especially puzzling when a bunch of dead racing pigeons are found on the ground with the victim! Soon, we find a racing pigeon owner dead in his rooftop coop, with a wound that looks like someone put a buzz-saw to his neck. "Mac" and the crew finds out the guy was in the FBI's witness protection outfit.

The secondary story involves a super-rich family that had a lavish birthday party for their 16- year-old girl where daddy's big present was a new $60,000 car. Unfortunately, at the unveiling daddy was in the driver's seat and dead. When the CSI team comes to investigate, they open the car door and a cobra inside strikes and bites Lyndsay! An ambulance comes for her but we discover quickly that she will be fine. Soon, we find out the girl's brother put the snake in the car as a prank.

This episode, as you can tell reading all of this, is full of odd occurrences, one weird finding after another and very, very interesting. No sense going into all the facets of these crimes but this is a highly-recommended, maybe the best one of the season so far.
