swabbed it and sent it to trace. Stella asks Zao if the cuts on the throat was from a rope, but he
says it’s hard to say because the ligature marks were too thin to be traditional rope, and they
didn’t find any fibers on the neck. Stella agrees, saying they didn’t see anything at the scene,
to which Zao tells them the victim didn’t see anything either. He tells them that the victim was
actually blind, and Danny asks ”Who strangles a blind girl”?
Cut to Flack at the plastic surgeon’s clinic. He informs Dr. Stanley Thatcher that his partner
is dead. Thatcher, who’s currently prepping up a patient for surgery, looks at Flack in shock,
and Flack tells him that someone burned the victim’s face at the Grand Central Station. The
news startles the patient and looks at Flack with pen marks on her face, and that startles
Flack. Thatcher still can’t believe his partner’s death, Flack asks if the victim had mentioned
any incidents of harassment or threats from anyone, and the surgeon tells him that the victim
was well liked. Flack picks up one of the scissors from the tray and asks if he ever messed up
in surgery (”Nip a little too much here, tuck a little too much there”), waving the scissors and
snipping them in the air. This disturbs Thatcher and asks Flack to put it down, which Flack
readily does, and the doctor explains that plastic surgeons try to make people into swans but
they can’t always ”fix an ugly duckling”. Thatcher then tells Flack he has to get back to his
patient, so Flack gives him a calling card and tells him to call the second the scrubs come off.
Back at the lab, Hawkes examines the shoe print on Franklin the Bear. He sprays a little
phenothaline on it and finds traces of lye on it. Mac approaches and asks if Franklin ”tell you
anything or did he lawyer up?” Hawkes shows him the lye, saying that Emily had dropped the
bear right where the victim was attacked. He thinks that the killer must’ve stepped on the bear
after dropping the cup. Mac notices the irregular pattern on the sole of the left shoe, meaning that
the killer walks in the balls of the feet. Hawkes adds that the wear pattern should be consistent
on all the shoes of the killer, except if the shoes are brand new. Mac tells Hawkes to document
his findings and leaves.
Hawkes starts taking pictures of the bear. In another part of the lab, Danny is analyzing the
GSR on their victim’s cheek on the computer. Stella walks in and asks for progress, and Danny
tells her that it isn’t GSR. The computer results show that it is Carbon, more specifically carbon
steel that’s ”subjected to high temperature, giving it it’s spherical shape”. It is usually associated
with grinding. Scagnetti walks in and hands Stella a pink bag, saying that they found it in an
alley and that it belonged to the victim, who is identified as Evelyn Danner. They also found a
Braille GPS Trekker, a device used by blind people to help them know where they are in the city.
Danny says he could hack into the device and trace the victim’s last known whereabouts.
At Evelyn’s apartment, we see a lot clay head busts. Danny stares at a sculpture while Stella
admires the victim’s work. Stella finds it hard to believe Evelyn was blind because of her exquisite
attention to detail. Danny says Evelyn was a sculptor by profession and that she lived alone,
which makes him wonder who the models were. Stella thinks that the sculptures were either
commissioned pieces or personal friends, then sees a half finished piece. Danny pulls out a letter
under one of the busts, and when Stella asks what’s written on it, he asks her if she can read
Braille.
At the lab, Mac is just getting off the phone when Aiden catches up to him. While they’re
walking, she tells him that she’s been on Regina Bowen’s rape case for a week and she still
hasn’t found anything. It’s frustrating her that Regina’s been raped by the same guy twice and
Aiden can’t do anything. Mac tells her to go over the evidence again, and that she isn’t to work
any other case until they find tangible evidence or a solid lead against Pratt. As he enters the
elevator, he tells her to send the case evidence to his office. Aiden nods and walks as the elevator
doors close.
Mac is next seen at the ME’s office with Zao, examining the plastic surgeon’s body. The lye
(Sodium hydroxide) burned through the mucus wall and inflamed the trachea, indicating that
the victim inhaled a fair amount of lye and suggesting that his mouth was open when the lye
was thrown to his face. Zao takes the victim’s clothes from the rack and tells Mac that there’s
an unknown substance that could possibly be a transfer from the suspect, and he’s already sent
a sample to trace. Mac takes notice of the circular burn patterns on the victim’s right hand.
The right palm was void of any burns. Mac finds it strange that the palm is clean when human
instinct is to throw your hands up palms out when something is thrown at you. Zao wonders if
the victim didn’t have enough time to react, and Mac decides to do a little re-enactment.
Three dummies, all wearing the same type of clothes as the victim, are set up. Each of these
