Summary: The body of a beheaded woman found in a fraternity house is a mystery
to the CSIs. Now they must sort through twisted clues and crime scene
after crime scene to find the killer that has them trapped in his own
little game.
It’s the Sigma Theta Delta fraternity ”Annual Luau”, and the party is hot. Young people
dressed in beach clothes and tropical-look- alike costumes dance and drink all over the house.
Looking for a little privacy, a kissing couple stumbles into a dark room and onto the bed. The girl
remarks there’s a strange smell, but the guy is oblivious to it. She rises from the bed, complaining
something dripped on her; she turns on the light – and begins to scream. Right above the
bed, the headless body of a girl clad in a bikini and a torn T-shirt is hanging from the ceiling fan.
Flack leads Mac and Stella into the room and shows them Amy Feidler, 22 years old. ”Britney
and Kevin came here to do the nasty, instead they found the nasty”, he says. There’s no sign of
the head. Amy’s neck appears to be burned, which explains the bad smell. The rest of the team
arrives. Hawkes help Mac to climb a ladder and retrieve Amy’s body, Stella and Lindsay collect
blood samples and fingerprints. Downstairs, Danny and Flack talk to the people who were at
the party, most of whom are still at least half-drunk. Only one guy seems coherent enough to
Danny – despite his straw skirt. At the morgue, Mac learns from Sid that Amy’s head was not
cut, but seared off; the murder weapon is most likely an acetylene torch. It seems she was alive
at the time of the beheading, but Sid points out she was probably passed out drunk: her blood
alcohol level was .26, and she had traces of GHB, a date rape drug, in her system – but there
were no signs of sexual assault. At the lab, Lindsay tells Hawkes she had no luck with the prints
found at the scene. However, he found a piece of material on Amy’s clothes that is a fragment
of coconut hair. Stella remembers seeing a guy with a coconut bikini when she arrived. Talking
to Ethan Tierney on the street, she gets him to admit he remembers going to Amy’s room and
starting to have sex with her; she asked him to choke her and he used his bikini string to do it.
He was so drunk he doesn’t even remember leaving the room, and seems afraid that he might
actually have done it. But Stella’s phone rings. Mac and Stella meet Flack at the park, where a
guy called the police after seeing what his dog was trying to reach under a rock. There is Amy’s
head, wrapped in the lower half of the T-shirt. Back at the morgue, Sid uses the vitreous fluid in
Amy’s eyes to determine she was actually not drugged. It is possible that the GHB found on her
was naturally produced in her body after death. A ligature mark on her neck matches Ethan’s
story about erotic asphyxiation; it was not enough to kill her, though. As Stella examines the
