CSI: Miami - 'Law and Disorder' (1?)

Finally, a pun title in Miami. (Although I am a bit surprised, none of the CSIs have used this before? With a combined 30 seasons, you'd think they would have...)
And based on the fact that the movie website where I'm watching this is referring to it as 'Law and Disorder (1)' I'm thinking it may be a cliffhanger, since it's apparently a 2-parter -.- IMDb lists it as the last episode of the season, but it's only the 18th and they haven't credited any of the actors or anything, so that just tells me someone is way behind at filling in the CSI: Miami profile page. And there's nothing on the show's Facebook profile about it being the season finale, so... (wow I really do my research about these things XD )
Opening with a bunch of people in a club (how cliche is that? Most of the Miami episodes begin either in a club or on the beach. It's like CSI beginning in a casino. Or a strip club.) and this one girl is really drunk and someone takes a picture (which sounded like gunshots for some reason) and she's stumbling around clearly in trouble... Some manager/employee guy tells her she needs to get some air and then you hear a car hit something and she's lying on the ground dead, the employee guy is running outside and there's another guy screaming to call 911. But it's the middle of the day! What kind of a club is that lol
The screaming guy was the driver of the car, he's in a huge panic and swears to Frank that he didn't see her in the street. Tom realises that she was dead before the car ran over her, and she was poisoned with a nerve agent, which is what caused her death (that is so scary... Club safety 101 - never let anyone else touch your drink!) and it wasn't the driver's fault, Horatio says they need to shut down the club (and not in a good way) because the killer could probably still be inside.
YEAAAAH!!
Walter's yelling through a megaphone that everyone needs to settle down and they can't leave before they have questioned every person. Apparently the employee guy was the bartender, so Delko checks her glass and everything, the bartender says she was coughing and slumped over when she got to the bar, but she had come from the direction of the bathroom. And Calleigh takes a phone call and says something about 'you already have my fingerprints, but I could provide a blood sample if you want' lol Delko eavesdrops and later asks her if she wants to be come a private detective, she laughs him off. They find the victim's purse in the the garbage can and the eyedrops inside test positive for a nerve agent called serin. (Ew, it'll be a long time before I can take any eyedrops without thinking of this). Tom worries that other people could have come into contact with it, and their lives may be in danger. The valet said he put a 'half-dead' woman into a cab, and she had all the same symptoms as the victim! And she gave him a 100$ bill for helping her - Walter tests thi bill and it has traces of serin on it. The valet panics that he'll get sick for touching the bill. Walter says what I realised - the valet is fine, otherwise he'd have symptoms. It's not like he licked the bill or anything.
Walter finds the cab company's dropoff location for that passenger, and Frank and Samantha go to investigate - it's an abandoned warehouse. Frank hears coughing and sobbing and finds the woman sitting in a bench, then the bitch attacks him! How strong is she?! Frank's huge! Then he trips her and she drops a vial of the toxin. She manages to get up and runs, but Samantha stops her :) They open her bag and find a bunch of cash and some wallets - Frank realises she's a 'trained professional' at somethingorother, she says she was hired to poison the girl from the club, and Frank says 'maybe our vic was not random'.
Natalia and Delko go to the vic's apartment and find a lot of books and Chinese takeout boxes, apparently she wrote for a small Miami newspaper, and they find a dress with seme on it. Delko goes outside and sees a couple violently arguing, he tries to break them up and the girl accidentally smacks him across the face, knocking him over (wow that's two big tough guys getting beat up by girls today, what is with this episode? hahaha not that i'm not enjoying it :P ). They tell him that Denise (the vic) was 'promiscuous', there was 'another guy every night' at her place. Calleigh patches up Delko's cheek (are they still dating? I can't remember how that played out) and tells him that she wants to adopt Austin North and his sister (and then she clears up my confusion, evidently the 2 of them are on and off and on and off lol but I love them together!)
Apparently the DNA belonged to a city councilor and Horatio has an interesting way of confronting him - during a news conference hahaha he yells out (with his back to the podium, no less) 'Were you involved in the murder of Denise?' The coucilor admits to sleeping with Denise, when she was writing a profile on him, but says it was a one-time thing. And his lawyer is that asshole Vogel! Grr Horatio told him to get outta town ages ago, but he has come back just to be a pain in the ass - along with that annoying woman who defended Esteban Navarro! (Of course those 2 are friends -.-) and he gets the semen evidence thrown out, because Delko had set down the (fully sealed, protected) evidence bag when he went to break up the argument! Sonofabitch!! Despite the fact that the councilor had already admitted to sleeping with the woman - I mean the evidence makes sense in that context, and there was nothing to prove that he had her killed, but the fact that he's now saying 'well guess what that evidence is invalid' makes me think he has more to hide.
Denise's articles are linked to Councillor Stafford covering up a bunch of cases - for example, a club owner killed a patron from his club, and Stafford had the street with the crime scene repaved the next day. And geez nobody notices blood and bullet casings on the road?? (Yay Josh/McPartlin again! I love that guy!) But ohdamn Vogel's back -.- And one of the casings they found is a .45, not a 9-mil, like the murder weapon. So he claims it must be cross-contamination. WTF??!!!
Walter and Delko look up all of Vogel's clients - they were all released due to insuficcient evidence, hung juries, FREAKIN TECHNICALITIES!! And Delko realises that the man who was having an argument with his girlfriend in the hallway was also a client of Vogel's, so he staged the fight to break the chain of custody!
Horatio figures out that Vogel blackmails his clients to help out his other clients, so they all go free, and Vogel makes more money. Horatio confronts the councilman, who says that yes, he knew about it, and Denise had caught on, so Vogel must have been the one who had her killed. The councilman is upset but says he can't help because he's afraid of what Vogel will do to him or his family. Natalia calls H to tell him that Vogel just showed up at the lab. They confront him and he says that his partner (the bitch woman-lawyer from last week) has something to confess - she says she did everything but she's staring off into space the whole time.
Then - SONOFABITCH! - they see Vogel on TV blabbing about how Samantha mishandled evidence, meaning that every case she's ever had a part in is now called into question, and as Samantha points out to Ryan, that means Esteban Navarro will walk. ANOTHER SONOFABITCH!
Then Ryan goes 'wait a second, you didn't screw up' but doesn't elaborate. Then we see Vogel having a chat with someone about ho busy his day was, but 'you would know that, wouldn't you?' and it flips back to Ryan says 'this evidence was planted by someone working close to us, who was working for Vogel.' NOOO I see where this is going :( He then asks her where she met her boyfriend and she stammers that she met him at the gym but he approached her. SHIT Vogel's talking to McPartlin's character, and we see a flashback of him switching out the evidence. And Vogel wants to make sure that 'Horatio Caine and his, CSIs, never bother this law firm or any of its clients ever again' HOW CAN THAT BASTARD (well both of them, actually) LIVE WITH HIMSEL(VES)????!!!!!
Awe this is so sweet - Sam is all sad and goes 'I'm done, I'm finished' and she looks so heartbroken and then Ryan hugs her (geez she's taller than him) and says 'not if I have anything to say about it' I LOVE HIM!!!
Aaaaand it's over. I have a feeling part 2 will be them taking down the aforementioned sons of bitches.
Until then, dear reader (I'm not assuming I have more than one haha) *sunglasses* stay cool.
YEAAAAH!
