return the favor. Natalia asks them to wait. She says she has nothing to hide. As Jo fingerprints
her, she tells them her side of last night’s events. She’d gone to the apartment to apologize to
Miguel for something she said. As she was knocking, the door swung open and she found him
dead on the floor. She ran to his side.
Hector asks if Miguel had gone out the night before, and she says yes, he was promoting
one of his clubs. She’s not sure which one. Mac asks for an alibi. Hector interjects that she’s a
witness, not the killer and Mac says they have no way of knowing that. She reiterates that she
has nothing to hide. She was home alone. Jo asks why Miguel’s mother was the first call she
made. She said she didn’t know, it seemed notifying the next-of-kin was the right thing to do. So
why didn’t she call 911 in the intervening hours? Miguel’s mom told Natalia not to. She should
just leave, get out of there. Natalia went to the consulate under the orders of Miguel’s mother.
She said she would take care of everything.
Sid goes to work on the body. There’s a lot of information to catalog. It appears he was stabbed,
but Sid can’t figure out the specifics. He tells Lindsay the first two times the blade was right side
up, but the third time it was upside down. He also points out some black specks on Miguel’s
shirt that he can’t figure out. Lindsay figures them for burns, probably chemical. Sid then points
out the healing abrasions on his lower back. Sid thinks they look like bed sores. Lindsay asks
about Miguel’s medical records. Nothing. There is no logical reason that Miguel had bed sores.
Mac fills Hector in. He’s not willing to label this a homicide just yet. Hector offers several
objections, the most logical of which is that the murder weapon has not been found. Mac points
out that Miguel walked all over the apartment, including to the desk with his phone on it, yet he
made no effort to call for help. The blood tells the story, it’s all low-energy, gravitational. If there
had been a struggle, it wouldn’t look like this.
Sydney works on the crystal, as Adam works on the burned shirt. They both react in surprise
to their findings.
Adam asks Jo what’s the best way to tell someone who never messes up that they messed
up. ”Mac messed up?” she asks in surprise. No, Adam responds. The burn marks, found on the
clothing? Was sulfuric acid, mixed with formaldehyde. It’s used in drug testing. Adam thinks
Mac might have somehow spilled some Marquis reagent at the crime scene. He’s very nervous,
and it only gets worse when Mac approaches. Jo makes Adam ask Mac, and Mac says no, he
didn’t have his out at the crime scene, and Adam needs to do some digging to find out where it
came from.
Lindsay gives Mac the tox results. Clonazepam, yet he had no prescription for it, and a .19
alcohol level in his blood, yet no alcohol in his stomach. He didn’t drink the alcohol. He inhaled
it in something called ”The Mist Cube” at the club he was promoting.
Danny and Don show up at the club. They see the mist cube, and Don comments that he’s not
a doctor - but that can’t be good for you. They see that the employees are wearing gas masks so
they don’t get drunk. Danny and Don question one about Miguel. He says Miguel didn’t have any
enemies. Friends with everybody. Life of the party. They know the type. But last night, Miguel
and Leo got into it a little bit. When they look over, Leo appears to be making a drug exchange
with a woman.
Don announces NYPD, and Leo flips the table and runs with the detectives in pursuit. He
grabs a woman as hostage, turns on the mist and sets it on fire. Don counts down on him while
Danny shares what a mess it was last time they had to shoot a perpetrator. They are able to take
him in without anybody getting hurt.
Jo questions him. He has an eye drop bottle with Marquis reagent in it. He has a website
that purports to help New York’s partiers take the good stuff. They’re going to do drugs anyway,
may as well make sure they are safe. She shows him Miguel’s picture, and he seems genuinely
shocked that Miguel is dead, and that he’s being questioned. Jo fills him in on the splash pattern
of the reagent. Looks like it happened during a struggle, and word has it that the struggle was
with Leo. There were drugs in Miguel’s system, the same kind Leo sells. Did he owe Leo money,
is that why he killed Miguel? Leo reiterates that he didn’t do it. He fills Jo in.
Last night, he tested a woman’s drug, and it came up dirty. He tells her to get her money
back, and gives her the good stuff. She gives him a kiss on the cheek. Miguel comes up and tells
him he is attracting the wrong element, and pretty soon the club will be crawling with cops. He
becomes angry, and physically attacks Leo. They struggle. When Miguel smashes Leo into the
table top, the little bottle sprays and that is when Miguel’s shirt got burned. After that, he left as
