CSI - 'Fallen Angels'

All righty, so this is a 'bonus post' of sorts, because I never got around to posting last week's CSI recap.. So you get 2 in one day! Yay!
Also, as of today, my blog has had over 3000 pageviews!! Double yay!!
Thanks to everyone who reads and clicks and such, I really appreciate all of you! :)
The opening is in a graveyard, and for a second I thought I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer - and there are trippy flashbacks to a crazy emphatic preacher-man. Who is now dead.
His name is Rev. Rick Reiken, who died by a single GSW to the head. They're wondering why he's in that particular place, and Russell points out a plant near the tombstone he's lying on, suggests the victim had brought the plant with him, and then Nick walks up and says 'No, that was me. I put that there last week.' Whaat?? DUN DUNN it's Warrick's grave! Is it just me (since I've been watching a lot of reruns lately) or have they been mentioning him more and more frequently??

C'mon, who could forget this guy?

They interview a gang dude Aaron Voss who says that he doesn't know anything about the shooting, and that people like the reverend, and Warrick 'talked a good game, but never really changed anything.'
Nick goes to someone's house and sees a kid's chalk drawing on the sidewalk outside, so he steps over it (aww!). When he knocks on the door, a little boy pops out from beside the house and Nick says hi to him, apparently this is Warick's kid Eli (who I'd forgotten all about) and then his mother Tina comes out of the house all bedraggled and mad-looking and bitches at Nick for 'coming near my son'. Well ex-CUSE me, lady, but by the looks of things, Nick would be a better role model to your son than you are...
Greg and Hodges find crushed OxyContin on the seat of the reverend's pants, and blue chalk on his shoes - so that leads them to believe he'd been at Tina's house. Great, more of her. Being rude to Sara this time, and refusing to let them in. But my girls have a warrant!
That house is so disgusting, everything is dark, there's food and garbage and junk and ROACHES everywhere. It makes Sara sad, apparently the place used to be Warrick's, and when he was killed he'd been trying to get custody of Eli. Then they find a pair of man's pants with a bundle of weed in the pocket, and a bottle of Oxy with a fingerprint on it, which Sara finds as a match to a parolee named Cliff Paul, and Finn says 'Aggravated assault, domestic battery - and she's trying to keep YOU guys out of her house?' Amen to that.
Then Tina bitches some more about how 'CSI let McKeen murder my husband, and then you let him kill other people too' to paraphrase: 'bla bla bla I'm a druggie and a terible mother but this is all your fault' (am I the only one who remembers that the season premieres of season 9 AND this year were all about them trying to stop McKeen?!) Child protective services shows up to take Eli away and he's so sad poor kid :( No sympathy for Tina though!!

Crazy lady wrestling with a cop...

The cops track Paul to his apartment and find that he's dead because he jumped out a second-story window. Apparently someone came to his door and tried to attack him so he ran and jumped, even though he was armed with a gun (likely the one used to kill the reverend) and they find a CSI-type flashlight under the couch that has dried blood on it - Cliff Paul's - and more blood on the floor - not Cliff's. A fingerprint on the battery inside the flashlight belonged to (drumroll) Warrick O.O
Eli tells Nick that he was scared of Cliff because he would yell and beat Tina, but then she'd told him that Cliff wouldn't come around anymore.

Apparently Tina had fallen prey to a scam the Reverend was running, and given her house away to him. She was mad (accuses Nick of 'kicking down her door'... He was nowhere near the door...) and says she gave Warrick's CSI 'junk' away to some kid Warrick had looked out for. Nick finds the kid, James, who admits to fighting with Cliff. His aunt says that James' mother killed herself because she was having hallucinations. James tells Nick that he wanted the Reverend and Cliff dead because of how they treated Warrick's family - and then they just died. It's happened before, to a guy named Ben who was bullying him and stolen his shoes had disappeared and the shoes had reappeared out of nowhere - with a trace amount of blood on them. James feels like the universe (or Warrick, his 'guardian angel') is granting him wishes.

Tina is begging Sara to help her get Eli back, and Sara's like 'yea right.. You gotta fix yourself first!!'

I won't bore you with the details, but they find Ben's body, and a hair of a male relative of James. No one knows who James' father is but there was money sent to his aunt from an account opened by Warrick. O.O 'Banking from beyond' says Morgan.

Aaron Voss was shot, but by a random gang member not associated with anything else.

Then they discover that Aaron Voss was James' father! And therefore he was the one killing everyone. He denies it, of course, but they've got evidence!

Damn now I'm sad again, because James and Nick have a heart-to-heart abut Warrick, and then Tina has a big turnaround and apologises to Sara, who lets her see Eli before he has to go stay with a foster family for a few days.. And here come the waterworks!!

Until a new episode at 10:00, mes amis!
