treated with anti-venom bolus and that she’ll be fine. As they reach the roof, they find Ray Seeley
dead in his pigeon coop – one of his pigeons perched on top of him. Danny finds arterial spray
on the walls of the coop, which probably explains the bloody handprint they found on one of the
birds. Mac goes to talk to the super and learns that Seeley was planning on retiring. The super
also mentions that there was a kid that hung out with Seeley a lot – cleaning the coop, feeding
the birds – but he never found out his name. Sid autopsies Ray Seeley. He boils one of the bones
and sends pictures to Mac and Danny, who determine that the murder weapon was some kind of
power saw, which would explain the high velocity spatter. Mac also tells Danny that they found
mother of pearl in the pigeon coop. Flack arrives and informs them that Ray Seeley wasn’t really
Ray Seeley – his name was Rudy Santangelo, and he was in the Witness Protection Program. Mac
meets with Agent Candace Broadbent, who gives him information on Rudy aka Ray, but only as
much as she’s allowed to tell. Seeley saw two members of the IRA kill a cop friend of his – and
the cop’s dog – and testified against them in court. Hawkes looks at the disassembled car back
at the lab. It’s pristine, except for the scratches on the hood. He then goes to examine the snake
that bit Lindsay – which is now unconscious. He finds evidence on the snake that connects it
to Chaz Archerson, which is how it ended up in the car. Stella interrogates the boy, who insists
that all he wanted to do was scare his sister, not kill his father. Mrs. Archerson says that the
snake charmer assured them it was safe, and he came highly recommended. But Stella says
that his little joke put Lindsay in the hospital and his father in the morgue, and he’s looking
at reckless endangerment – possibly manslaughter. But wait! Sid tells Hawkes that although
Archerson was bitten by the snake, it wasn’t his cause of death. He was strangled to death, by
something with a soft surface, which is why there was no evidence on the skin. Danny finds Mac
to tell him that the pigeon feed in Ray Seeley’s coop had been contaminated with termite killer.
He tracked down the distributor – all the other bags were clean – and learned that Seeley sent a
Jesse Quinn to pick up the feed every week. He goes on to say that Jesse works at a pool table
repair shop in Brooklyn. And, Mac realizes, pool tables have mother of pearl inlays. Hawkes gives
Stella the autopsy report on Edward Archerson. She remarks how odd it is that his blood alcohol
level was zero, considering they found an open, empty whiskey bottle in his pocket. Hawkes tells
her something else odd – a stray hair he found on the victim was obviously ripped out during
a struggle, but it looks cut. It’s also a ’virgin’ hair – not treated with any product. He deduces
that it was ripped from a very expensive hair extension. Flack and Mac visit Jesse Quinn at his
stepfather’s repair shop. His stepfather tells the detectives that Jesse has been helping Seeley
ever since his mother died. Mac asks Jesse when he first got interested in pigeons, but Jesse is
unresponsive until his stepfather tells him to come over. He tells Mac that a pigeon flew into his
room when he was a kid and wasn’t scared at all. Flack asks when he last saw Seeley, but Jesse
doesn’t answer. Mac mentions that the super told him they had an argument – was he angry
because Seeley was selling off his flock? Mac asks if he damaged the coop, because there was a
cut on one of the posts. Jesse’s stepfather halts the questioning, but Mac asks Jesse if they could
talk alone for a bit. Jesse takes off. Mac and Flack both chase after him. Mac catches up to him
as he’s climbing a fence and notices bruises on his side. He asks Jesse who did that to him, but
Jesse doesn’t answer, and soon Flack is on his way. Mac lets Jesse go. Flack is livid. Mac tells
him that the kid will be around; it’s not like he has a summer house in the Hamptons. Flack and
Mac start arguing about Detective Truby – the cop Mac had arrested, based on information from
Flack’s memo book, because he was a killer and stole cocaine from a bust. Mac knows that Flack
is getting grief from the other cops for not having Truby’s back. Mac tells Flack that if he wants
to be angry at someone, he should be angry at Truby. As they’re leaving, Mac notices dried blood
on a wooden crate. Flack tells him that if the blood matches Ray Seeley, Mac’s instincts just
let their murderer go. Stella prints the whiskey bottle, but it’s not Archerson’s, and there is no
match in AFIS. She decides to run the print through the Brighton Country Day School database
– Autumn and Chaz Archerson’s school – and gets a hit. They find Tim Swirsky at a pizzeria,
and he tells them how he got into the party by taking Autumn’s cousin. He wanted to get her
back, so he spiked the punch. He just wanted to knock them down a peg, and he was kicked out
immediately afterwards. After questioning Tim, Stella runs into Mac in the lab. He remarks that
he’s also looking for a teenage suspect, and Stella says that the suspects are getting younger, but
who do you blame – the kids or their parents? She asks Mac if he’s heard from Reed – his newly
discovered stepson – and he says he hasn’t. Mac says Reed reminds him of Claire, and that he’ll
call when he’s ready. Mac says he can’t imagine how Reed feels, to spend all this time looking for
