Jo Danville:
Torres' death leaves a void at the top of his crew, so I thought I'd look at his replacements. Might be able to avoid a street war if we can talk to them. So I'm gathering this as I go. Seems Torres was the face of this crew, but Lisa Brigosa... she's the brains, and Rick Devarro is the street muscle. Although, given his penchant for getting arrested, Rick's not too bright.

It was interesting to see Edward James Olmos again. It's been awhile since Ihave seen the man who was the boss on the TV hit show "Miami Vice." Prior to that, Olmos was in films such as "Blade Runner," "Stand And Deliver," and "Wolfen. In recent years, he's been a regular on several TV shows I haven' watched, or can't get.
The only thing that looked different about him today from when I remember him from the 1980's was that he's put on a little weight....but who doesn't when they get older? His acting was superb in here, better than I ever remember it. In this episode, he plays a former gang member "Luther Navarro" in the Puerto Rican section of the New York City who has just been released from years in jail. Series star "Mac Taylor" had been the one who had arrested him. However, there are no bitter feelings from "Navarro." He says Taylor "is a fair man."
The story, meanwhile, centers around some gang hits and Taylor's concern is that all-out gang war will start because of it. The CSI team tries to find out who is behind the killings before an all-out war starts.
In the end, they discover a surprising murderer and Taylor has a very suspenseful shootout with him (and a third party)/
