Summary: The CSIs are investigating the murder of a hotel concierge, but while<br />

doing this they hear gun shots fired across the street and find a woman<br />

clutching a gun over two dead bodies.<br />

Model Mandi Foster pitches a fit when hotel concierge Sarah Jackson brings her the wrong<br />

kind of pillow, and Sarah is dead hours later, the victim of a fatal fall in the hotel. Mac takes<br />

one look at her trajectory and knows it wasn’t an accident. Before they can remove Sarah’s body,<br />

the CSIs hear shots fired, and rush to a nearby condo where Grace Thomason sits trembling by<br />

the bodies of two men: her husband, Daniel, and the man she claimed beat him to death with a<br />

hammer. Grace claims she shot the man in self-defense. Stella immediately empathizes with the<br />

traumatized Grace, recalling her own ordeal when her boyfriend Frankie attacked her and she<br />

was forced to shoot him. Hammerback discovers the address and a time, 10am, written on the<br />

assailant’s hand. The CSIs collect evidence from Grace’s apartment, and Stella discovers a small<br />

amount of blood in the bathroom, where Grace claims she was taking a shower when durng<br />

the attack on her husband. Lindsay gets an ID on the man in Grace’s apartment: Ron Blunt.<br />

Blunt had anti-psychotics in his system, and Grace recognizes him as a limo driver who drove<br />

her husband home from the airport and spouted off crazy theories to him. Unsettled by the man,<br />

Grace called the limo company and got Blunt fired. Lindsay discovers the hammer was Daniel’s<br />

and posits that the murder wasn’t premeditated, irritating Stella. Mac cautions Stella to follow<br />

the evidence, but she counters that she can’t help but be emotionally involved with the case.<br />

Sid determines that Sarah’s heart was pierced by a sculpture she fell on, and also finds a<br />

substance in fingernail marks on her arms. He notes an eternity bracelet she has on, as well as<br />

hairs from her thighs, which Mac identifies as camel hair used in artists’ brushes. This leads him<br />

to Tony DeLuca, the photographer who snapped pictures of Mandi the day of Sarah’s murder.<br />

Tony fesses up to hooking up with her, and says he took photographs for her as a favor to Mandi.<br />

A print on Sarah’s body matches Mandi, but the model insists she was just checking Sarah for<br />

a pulse. When pictures of Mandi’s meltdown from a video show up in a tabloid, Mac has his<br />

doubts. The pictures prove to be from a now-missing camera owned by Sarah. Mandi owns up<br />

to stealing the camera so she could release the video footage herself for publicity, and the CSIs<br />

arrest her on probable cause. However, when the substance on Sarah’s body turns out to be<br />

bovine stem cells used in beauty products and Adam discovers silver and turquoise trace on the<br />

railing Sarah was thrown over, they turn to Mandi’s stylist, Tess. Tess tried to take the camera<br />

from Sarah, thinking Sarah was betraying Mandi, and accidentally threw her over the railing.<br />

She tried to pull her back up, but lost her grip and watched helplessly as Sarah fell to her death.<br />
