CSI - 'Split Decisions'

This one was a fascinating concept, especially at first, when this scary fat clown-lady saw a man (whose slot machine she had just taken) get shot, and the entire casino was locked down so they were hunting through the whole place, trying to find the killer.
They find some girl who admits to recognizing the guy from the security footage - she says she had slept with him the night before, and then delivers possibly the funniest line of the entire episode: 'I'm not a slut.' HAHA ok c'mon you met him that night, in the hotel bar? And decided to film yourself having sex with him? Yea suuuure...
Sara interviews the victim's son (the man was a doctor) and it's so sad, his mom had died a few years ago and now his dad's dead too.
Then they found the guy hiding in a closet in a hotel room ... I can't remember his explanation for hiding lol but he says he never met the slut (or not slut...). And, of course, he denies killing the man in the casino. Then they find that his DNA matches the blood from the killer, and I'm hyperventilating at this point, cos i knew - he has a twin!! My sisters are identical twins, so I always consider that possibility when there is conflicting DNA evidence. Not only that, but this first guy has an alibi for the time when the 'non-slut' was being picked up in the bar - they find on the security cameras that he was re-entering the hotel from a baseball game at the same time as his 'clone' can be seen across the hotel at the bar. But he says he wasn't a twin, and his birth records confirm, he was a single baby.
So they figure that the guy who slept with the girl was the killer, and go find him - in bed with 2 other girls. Compared to him, the first girl looks like a nun...
He ALSO denies killing the man, says the 2 women are his alibi... But he's identical to the first guy, and has a different birth record saying he was younger and born in a totally different place from the first guy.
And the antibodies in his blood don't match that of the killer - neither do his brother's.
At this point I made a  big *gasp* face cos this was ripped off from an episode of CSI: Miami about four years ago, when these triplets (who knew each other, but hid their existance from everyone else) conspired to kill the one woman's husband. But back to the current episode...
Anyway, they track down the other guy and find him - dead. So case closed, right? Not so much - he was murdered. By the other two? After he did their dirty work? Not so much - more DNA at that crime scene implicates a fourth brother. And at this point I'm thinking 'geez comeon! Was the doctor creating a clone army??' (Because we found out that he had made in-vitro implants into all the mothers of the 3 men - and then they all had crappy lives, so they blamed him for creating them and conspired to kill him).
But no, Archie's facial recognition program scans the entire casino/hotel and finds the fourth brother - who was the doctor's son. I was actually very surprised by this twist ending. I can't remember why he did it, and I really didn't care... He thought his father didn't really love him, only his mother had, and when he found out (after his mother died) that she had been infertile, and that he wasn't even biologically hers, he snapped and found the other 3. But he made one mistake - he cleaned up and established alibis for the other 2 (not counting the dead one) and accidentally put himself on the line.
Good surprise ending to this episode, somewhat predictable line though - oh no there are 2! Wait now there's 3! And the kid didn't even really look like the 3 grown ones!
Still, I give it a 98 out of 100 - the percentage of the population that doesn't have a twin or triplet :D
