Two dead bodies lead CSI to an old-school mobster who runs a strip club. Meanwhile, divorce proceedings and prescription drug addictions cause Warrick's life to begin spinning out of control.

The team investigates two deaths after the police chase a garbage truck. The driver, Brody Biggs, was killed when he was struck by a car and a club owner, Jason Crewes, whose body was compacted with the garbage. They find a link between the garbage truck and a former member of an old-time mafia crew, Lou Gedda, who now owns a popular strip club. Warrick is working the case but prescription drug use and his divorce are having a negative impact on the job. Warrick's troubles are compounded when one of the strippers is found dead in his car.—garykmcd

When a garbage truck spills out garbage on the road, two police officers riding motorcycles chase him. The driver throws away a gun out of the window, crashes the truck in an alley and tries to escape from the police, but dies hit by an automobile. Catherine, Greg and Grissom process the scene when Brass shows another body that was in the truck. Warrick arrives late, since is resolving divorce problems with Tina, and Grissom gets told him off. Only after the autopsy the investigators find the identity of the driver, Brody Biggs, who was a police officer and later a mechanic, and the other victim, Jason Crewes, who worked in several casinos, then as limousine driver and lately owned a club. When the investigators learn the connection of Jason and his mother, Belinda, with the mobster Pezullo name, they follow another line of investigation.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

A man's grossly mutilated corpse is thrown from a garbage truck that is being chased by the police, the cornered driver is fatally car-crushed trying to escape on foot. Only after the autopsy, Grissom, Greg and Catherine find the identity of the driver, Brody Biggs, who former police officer turned mechanic, and the other victim, Jason Crewes, who worked in several casinos, then as limousine driver and lately owned a club himself, run by notorious last old-fashioned mob ringleader Lou Gedda. The garbage truck was sold by his mother, perhaps a black widow. Warrick believes Gedda is responsible and sets out to prove it, but Warrick's divorce, his addiction to pills and a sudden reckless lifestyle negatively impact his job. Warrick becomes the chief suspect in another mob-related murder when his date, an exotic dancer at the club, where he looked for testimonies, was found murdered in his car at the same club, and he knew nothing about her departure.—KGF Vissers

The team arrives one man short when they cover the aftermath of a garbage truck run amuck in Vegas. Warrick is late, popping pills and on the phone with an irate Tina, whom he's divorcing. Once he arrives, he joins in to cover a truck that dumped a trail of trash for miles. When the driver ran from police, he was struck and killed by a car. Inside the truck was the dead body of Jason Crews, a 27-year-old club owner. His mother, Kate, was the wife of a famous mob man, Anthony Pezzulo, but she changed her identity when her husband was whacked 23 years before. She offloaded her husband's garbage truck business to Lou Gedda back then, and told Lou to forget that she and her son Jason ever existed.

Lou says he knew Jason and loved the kid. But a Hollywood manager friend of Jason's tells Warrick that Gedda beat him up at his club. Jason called out Gedda and vowed never to bring talent back to his strip club. Warrick believes Gedda's got cops on his payroll, and he shows up to check out the club. Gedda's not too happy to see him nosing around. Warrick does everything he can to get a warrant for Gedda's property, but the judge denies it. Believing that the judge and other officials are protecting Gedda for payoffs, Warrick insults Undersherriff McKeen. Grissom sends him home.

Warrick sits in the parking lot of Gedda's strip club looking for evidence. He ends up inside the club with three bottles of pricey champagne and a stripper named Candy on his lap, only to be found by Grissom. He's sent home once again, but Warrick returns and follows Candy. He meets up with her at a bar, and they go a hotel. He's high as a kite, hallucinating, and they have sex. Soon Warrick goes back to the strip club, leaving an empty bed behind. When he arrives, he's horrified to see that Candy's been murdered, and her dead body is in the parking lot, in his own car.
