Their concern turns to the couples children and when one is found dead in her bed at home, the police desperately search for the second daughter. The case is tied to the self-styled Rev. Rhodes who also happens to be a registered sexual offender. Now working on the day shift with a new partner, Ronnie Lake, Sara investigates the death of a homeless man.

Quotes

Sara Sidle: [to the new CSI, Ronnie] You know what, that question, I will answer. We're not here to protect anyone, Ronnie - not even the cops. We're here to figure out what happened. If you can't do that, you should get a different job.

Is 'Ronnie' Replacing 'Sara?'

A minister is a former sex offender and nutcase. Gee, what's new in Hollywood? Does Hollywood every portray an honest, hardworking, God-like minister (or priest)? Of course not. Here we are again with the bad guy being a pastor. This guy also is a registered sex offender! Come on. Give me a break. I don't know who the actor is who played him but he looks and sounds a lot like Chris Rock. I'm not even to comment further of the typical bias against clergy shown on TV and in the movies, but this episode is a good example of it.

On another note, are we seeing "Sara Sidle's" replacement? It's getting obvious that Jorja Fox's role here is going to end.....a real shame. We have a new CSI and she's played by the stunningly-pretty Jessica Lucas, a young Canadian actress. She plays "Ronnie." She's new and idealistic and is given a few constructive lectures by Sara, who obviously is getting cynical about the job.

In real life, Sara wouldn't even be working; she would be taking time off from her horrible recent ordeal in which she almost died. Yet, here she is, working on another case - the second crime story in this episode, and it's not an uplifting one, that's for sure.
