CSI - 'Trends with Benefits'

A weird title, but anyway...
We open and see a young man falling through the air... And he's falling... And he's falling... And there's nothing behind him, just a dark sky... And he's falling some more... And he lands, in a pool -.-
And there are tons of people partying and dancing, and HEY THAT'S THE CUTE GUY FROM PRETTY LITTLE LIARS!! The one who likes to get beat up, they're sharing a lot of cast this season...
And OMG THAT'S CHELSEA STAUB/KANE!! Lol she's playing this apparently famous girl who these creepy drunk jerks are hitting on... She gives them an 'autograph' that says 'screw you' and storms off lol good for her.. Apparently her boyfriend is one of the jerky frat boys hosting the party, and Shane Coffey (the PLL guy) is her friend who may or may not be gay (I'm not taking the frat boys' comment's seriously..) but oh crap I bet he's the one who dies :( Everyone there is making a big deal out of the fact that she (Chelsea's character)'s apparently a virgin, and jeez there's some girl from Secret Life of the American Teenager (Which I am proud to say I have never watched in my life).
Damn I was right it is Shane's character who dies, he still doesn't have a name tho... Apparently he fell over 32 feet from a bridge to a 'broken neck' on the ground below.. And it looks like there was a struggle, indicating he was probably pushed. And his name's Pete Moyer. He was beaten up shortly before he died, too, which would explain why he had a cut on his lip, when he was walking around at the party. Hey we finally get to see Russel's son again! He shows them WLVU equivalent of Twitter, where someone with the tag name 'Voyeur4U' had posted a picture of the dead kid BEFORE anyone had even called 911!
Apparently Pete didn't even try to fight back when he was beat up :( And he was actually gay, had a gossip vlog (which explains why someone at the party called him 'gossip girl'..) some Sebastian jackass kept posting homophobic comments and threats on his website - and the Voyeur4U guy was the victim, someone posted the picture of his dead body using his own phone!! Greg and Nick tracked down the phone, found it in the posession of the same Sebastian from the website - turns out he's also gay O.O now this is confusing... BUT he admitted to finding Pete dead, taking the picture and posting it - and then calling 911, but not until he got back to his dorm room. He also says Pete had some 'dirt' on some juicy scandal that he was going to spill the beans on soon - and that's probably what got him killed. Also, all his stuff from his room got stolen.
Wow he's actually a total jackass in his vlog - and he wiggles back and forth as he's talking lol. There are pictures of him with Chelsea's character Brooke, arguing, and then they interview her and she doesn't seem so broken up about her friend dying... Also her boyfriend's a tool, saying that Pete was 'a nobody who was trying to become a somebody' and he doesn't let Brooke speak for herself.
Greg and Russel are going thru Pete's stuff and they find an A+ paperon phone hacking for some class called 'Anthropology and Fame' taught by a guy who had his own TV show.. Something TMZ-esque, from the gist I got... (Too busy looking at Greg to actually hear what he was saying XD ) Ah they go to visit him and he's British, too, telling all these kids how 'gossip is good for society'. He says that Pete never tried to hack a phone, that 'he's a student, not an employee'
Nick and Russel find a flash drive full of photos of students, including some pretty typical, harmless ones of Brooke - and one of her boyfriend, Jake, cuddling shirtless with Sebastian :O The boyfriend had stolen the computer in order to make sure the photos didn't go public, but said he wasn't gay. They also found a transmitter recieving live video stream from a room somewhere on campus. Then Morgan shows up with Brooke wanting to talk to Finn - and to tell them that she was hanging out with Jake all night, so he couldn't've killed Pete. She said she and Pete had been arguing about his professor, who apparently was a total jerk.
Greg and Archie figure out that the camera was in his professor's office - and they go visit and figure out that it's aimed at the couch O.O Russell confronts the prof and Greg and Nick find cleaned-up blood on the floor, and 'other' stains on the couch... But the prof says everything was consensual (Nick says there were 7, female, students) altho that's not enough to create a huge scandal - so even if Pete had placed the camera to catch him in that act, it's entirely likely that he ended up catching something far worse.
Finn and Morgan go into the class to take DNA samples from the classmates (lying about the reason, but they're so sneaky-genius!) The girl from Secret Life acknowledges having sex with her teacher in exchange for a good grade. Then one of the girls, named Ashley, says that she did too, but it wasn't consensual, and Pete found out about it but didn't want to help her, he was going to tell the whole school and inevitably embarass her. Then she shouts that she was the one who killed Pete, she pushed him off the bridge. The CSIs find a video on Pete's encrypted hard drive of the professor attacking Ashley, then Greg comes in to report that he found Ashley's prints matching ones on a lamppost on the bridge Pete fell off of. They do a re-enactment based on the position of the fingerprints that shows that Ashley was going to jump off the bridge. She tells Finn that Pete had planned on posting the video on his blog but he followed her to the bridge and then changed his mind and tried to talk her down from the ledge. Then she noticed that he had his phone out and he was recording or something, so she tried to kick it out of his hand and he lost his balance and fell. Ashley says she doesn't want to testify against the professor, because she doesn't want people to know and embarass her. Finn and Russell are outraged that he's going to get away with it - then Russell's son shows him that the fact of the rape (without the name of the student involved) is all over the internet, and the professor's been suspended. So at least some justice was served. This episode was pretty tragic :'(
