C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
Over at the other crime scene, Mac interviews Elle Jeffries about their ”committed threesome,”
while Stella interviews Laura Jeffries in another room of the apartment. They’re not able to learn
a whole lot, however.
Back at the morgue, Sid tells Lindsay that the woman was killed on dry and and she wasn’t
killed very far away from the East River, which is where they found her. She wasn’t in the water
very long, likely killed the previous night. He then points out the unique scaring and calluses
on her hands. Lindsay saw them earlier when she examined her, and she knows what they are
from... working with leather, making saddles. Lindsay used to do this when she was younger, so
she knows all about it.
Elsewhere in the lab, Lindsay examines the check the woman had tucked away in her bra.
Since the ink is no longer readable because of the water, Lindsay tries to extract any ink remnants
and is able to come up with the name of the person who signed it, Paul White.
Shortly thereafter, Lindsay and Flack pay Mr. White a visit. He reveals the dead woman’s
name, Sara Butler. He had hired her to sing for his daughter’s birthday and slumber party.
Lindsay then asks him about the $100 bill Sara had in her bra. Paul White tells them it was
because Sara’s bag of clothes fell overboard and sank like a rock. He felt bad having already
written the check, so he gave her an extra $100. He offered Sara her jacket for her walk home,
but she told him it wasn’t far. Flack then asks Paul where he keeps the company boat, which is
where the party took place. He tells him it’s docked off the Fulton pier.
Across town, we join Danny and Lindsay, who are processing the boat for any evidence they
can come across. Nothing seems out of the ordinary until they get to Paul’s bedroom. There is
semen in the bed and a small piece of her mermaid costume is found in the bed as well. Danny
thinks Paul may have hired Sara for more than just singing...
Back to the lab, Sid pulls the bullet out of Mark Jeffries’ eye and hands it to Dr. Hawkes.
They both find it odd that the bullet is so deformed. It wasn’t embedded into Mark’s brain and
didn’t hit any other bone. Sid starts discussing his own sexual past involving threesomes and
Dr. Hawkes doesn’t feel like listening, so he leaves after finding out there’s a trace amount of
something on Mark’s fingers.
Stella pays Dr. Hawkes a visit to find out more about the bullet from Mark’s eye. They conclude
it came from a .32 automatic, so they know what to look for now. One problem still remains,
however, the severe deformation of the bullet. The only explanation is the bullet hit something
before it hit Mark.
In the interrogation room, we find Flack questioning Paul White about the semen and piece of
Sara’s costume found in his bed on the boat. He’s less than cooperative at first, but he eventually
admits to having sex on the boat with someone, but not Sara. It was one of the parents of the
children who were with his daughter. He begs Flack not to tell his wife about it. Paul tells him
the only way the piece from Sara’s costume could have gotten there is when he allowed her to
change in there; he swears he didn’t touch Sara.
Elsewhere in the lab, Mac tells Stella that their group of three wasn’t always a threesome.
Mark married Elle before he married Laura. Laura has a bit of a rap sheet. A few years ago, she
killed her boyfriend in self defense and wasn’t prosecuted. During this, Stella has a flashback to
when she shot Frankie in the chest in self defense.
Arriving at the Elle and Laura’s apartment, Stella and Mac meet Kevin Davis, a friend of the
Jeffries family. They ask him if it’s true that he and Elle were having breakfast the other morning,
and Kevin says it’s true. Laura then comes out and tells the detectives that they were just about
to leave, but Kevin tells her it’s okay, they can catch up later. He kisses her and leaves. The CSIs
ask Laura about their relationship, specifically about the fact that Mark and Elle were married
for a year before she met them. They think that she may have pressured Mark to get a divorce
and that maybe he didn’t treat her like he treated Elle, his lawful wife. When Mac asks her if
they can test her hands for GSR, Laura tells him he’s out of his mind and starts to leave. Mac
and Stella pressure her to let them test her for GSR. When that doesn’t quite work, Mac brings
up the fact that she shot her boyfriend, not a happy subject for Laura. She slaps Mac across the
face, so Stella places her under arrest for assaulting an officer, thus allowing them to test her for
GSR.
At the station, Stella processes Laura’s hands for GSR and it comes up positive. During which,
Stella and Laura talk about relationships. Killing a boyfriend in self defense is something both of
these women have in common.
