Storyline

During porn king Tony Enright's satanic party, guest Leslie Stoltz is murdered and her friend Anna Kitson, his partner, drugged and raped. Alas Jesse planted a bug because of a feud from his L.A. days, which compromises the investigation, which points to Tony's even more arrogant bodyguard, former Dolphins star Cooper 'Coop' Daly. Horatio realizes it's time to clear Jesse, who apparently disposed of the key evidence in Tony's top-lawyer Darren Vogel's defense for the L.A. murder of Tony's wife. The DA's office insists on a neutral observer, Eric, while LAPD host captain Chris Sutter is suspiciously uncooperative.

User Reviews

David Carusso knocked this one out of the park!

I have longed for this episode a long time. Didn't know I did until they aired this one. The acting is amazing, especially H did a particularly amazing job. I finally saw a far less blend and boring H. The last few episodes made me think he lost his touch, glad to know he didn't. As for the rest of the actors, they did great jobs too. Caleigh looked a lot less like she's staring constantly. Getting out of Miami for a while had a great touch also, H and Eric make a great team. Also very nice to get to know what Cardoza was doing in previous episodes. Conclusion: very close to perfect episode! I would really like more like these. Still prefer CSI New York as a whole series to the other CSI's, but Miami is leading at the moment.
