A Greek Reunion

[LoveIsAStateOfMind · 9/10 · 29 December 2015]

I loved this episode! Yes, really.

The fact that Spencer Grammar and Aaron Hill both from Greek guest-starred helped (even if that meant I went into the episode thinking that one of them had to be the murderer, and probably Spencer) but the whole episode was fantastic.

I loved the way they flashed back and forth from the present day crime scene to the 1950s crime scene, ditto the autopsies.

Loved Lindsay mentioning Montana.

Loved the way they filmed Flack conducting the interviews with the other lab techs and asking each member of the team about Harland. The whole episode was filmed really beautifully actually.

I've never had any feelings about Mac's latest lady friend until this episode but I think I like her.

The scene where Mac and Jo watches the lab techs mourning with the flowers and candles <3……. What I didn't like was the scene after with Jo being mushy in a high, squeaky voice afterwards.

Boy howdy, I had better review this episode before I forget to review this episode.....

.....because it starts with Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) receiving a photo on his cellphone of a contemporary murder scene of a young woman's body sprawled on the sidewalk, And as it turns out, the corpse is that of one of the CSIs named Jessica Drake (Natalie Floyd). And dig this: the murder scene is reminiscent of a cold case from 1957 in which another young woman named Lana Gregory (Kathryn Collins) was brutally murdered and her corpse was also sprawled on the sidewalk. Mac had been holing up in the research laboratory after he received the photo. Jessica Drake had been gainfully employed at the CSI lab, and she was working the night shift. Pretty soon, Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo) and Don Flack (Eddie Cahill) let the NYPD police detective in them come out and interview a potential suspect named Harlan Porter (Aaron Hill) who happened to work the night shift as the late Jessica Drake. It turns out that who murdered her had been wearing a fraternity ring and stood at six feet tall. Porter is wearing the very same fraternity ring and he's six feet tall. And while that's going on, Mac has a brand new relationship going on of a personal nature, with restaurant owner Christine Whitley (Megan Dodds) who is the sister of Mac's late partner on the NYPD. She had invited him to a party where her friends and relatives are going to be in attendance, and there's a train load of them. She gives him a chance to bail out, but he's going to be there come hell or high water. Mac gets a great visit from retired NYPD detective Paul Burton (Lee Majors making a great guest appearance) who says he can be of great assistance. He asks what kind of lipstick was worn by the murder victim. And there are flashbacks to 1957 and a fruitless investigation by 22-year-old Paul Burton (Cory Blair) into Lana Gregory's murder. By the way, might Jessica Drake's killer be wearing high heels? That's what Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap), her favorite husband Danny Messer, Jo Danville (Sela Ward), Adam Ross (A,J. Buckley), and Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper) would want to know as they carry out their investigation in-house, and that's because the killer might be a CSI investigator, too! Turns out the killer IS fellow CSI employee Kim Barnett, who was seething with jealousy because Jessica Drake was a partying girl away from work and she was hogging up all the guys. For shame. The fire engine lipstick was a dead giveaway. Mac shows up for Christine's party of parties at the restaurant. A low keyed affair but with a lot of love for her from all those friends and relatives. And Mac confesses to getting grilled like a hamburger patty by her Uncle Max who's also in the NYPD. One of my favorite CSI NY episodes. Bar none.
