CSI (full title CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and upon revival, CSI: Vegas)note was unofficially referred to as CSI: Las Vegas when differentiating the shows in the franchise, mostly abroad where CSI: Miami made the franchise popular, before officially adopting CSI: Vegas upon its 2021 revival is a highly successful TV show (2000-2015) about a group of graveyard-shift crime scene investigators in Las Vegas led originally by enigmatic scientist Gil Grissom, then, following his departure, by ex-stripper and single mother Catherine Willows, and finally, by quirky scientist DB Russell.Initially touted as a show where the evidence was the main character and the actual characters were little more than flat stereotypes with "quirks" added almost as an afterthought, the series progressed over its thirteen seasons to make the characters a little more rounded and include more of their personal lives and histories in the story lines. It also moved on from a fairly straightforward forensics approach to more high-tech approaches that aren't necessarily possible in real life, requiring some degree of suspension of disbelief from the viewer. CSI runs into the Road of Trials (Part of Hero's Journey) many times throughout the series. CSI as a forensic/mystery show continued for many years, holding on very strongly and getting more interesting with time.The series influenced a great many subsequent programs, particularly from the early 2000s to the early 2010s, where police procedurals involving large casts of characters often focused around a specific type of crime/evidence/investigation method were, for a while, a large mainstay of TV programming. Most directly, it inspired its producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, to try and replicate this success with Without a Trace and Cold Case (both in the same verse). It also followed in Law & Order's "franchise" footsteps, with CSI: Miami (Yeeeeeeeaaaahh!), CSI: NY and CSI: Cyber. There are 797 total episodes of CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, and CSI: Cyber, not including books, comic books, and video games related to the franchise. Please note, however, that it is not the oldest of the current crop of forensic shows, a title held by British show Silent Witness.Gil Grissom's frequent one-liners right before the opening credits or an ad break are a well known example of a Quip to Black, although Horatio Caine's versions are perhaps the best known - mostly due to the heaping layer of cheese added to them. Pretty much established the Necro Cam, which it uses as a device to re-enact for the viewers every single gruesome detail that can be extracted from a crime scene, and every theory it spawns.The uncanny effectiveness of the show's Applied Phlebotinum has caused some to suspect that it's not actually set in the present day, but, rather, 20 Minutes into the Future (on-screen dates, though, put it in the Present Day).The show (and its spinoffs) have given rise to what legal professionals call "The CSI Effect": the necessity of compressing what would normally be months' worth of delicate and time-consuming lab work into a 40-minute television episode causes similarly unrealistic expectations in potential real-world jurors. As a result, the uninformed juror will assume that what they see on the show is happening as it actually occurs, as opposed to being fabricated and accelerated for television. It's also sometimes creates difficulties in crime-fighting, since the show shining the limelight on forensic techniques (aforementioned Artistic License notwithstanding) has prompted higher-end criminals to take steps to minimize what forensic evidence they leave behind (e.g. wearing gloves to avoid fingerprints).The show aired a total of 15 seasons before being cancelled in May 2015. A two-hour movie to conclude the show's run aired on September 27, 2015, which brought back original stars William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger.CBS announced a 20th anniversary revival run of the series for 2021. It is titled CSI: Vegas and features various returning cast members as well as a few new ones.

Dying Clue
 CSI / int_103e0141
comment
Dying Clue: In "Passed Pawns", the Victim of the Week writes the letters 'D E' in his own blood as he lies dying. Not that it helps the CSIs very much in the end. "There's the Rub" of the revival has a chef write "I'm so sorry" in cooking grease after he's stabbed and locked in his restaurant's freezer. It turns out that his killer found the message, rubbed out a letter, and added some more. It actually said "Messy", the chef's nickname for him.

Limited Advancement Opportunities
 CSI / int_1042bae6
comment
Limited Advancement Opportunities: Avoided. Though the cast has remained more or less constant, their relative rank and internal structure have been adjusted, including Brass's handing over the department to Grissom (and going back to being a detective), the race between Warrick and Nick to achieve CSI 3, and Ecklie's breakup of the team into two different shifts, which prompted the promotion of Catherine Willows to supervisor, and made room in the ranks for Greg to go from lab tech to field agent. Later on, Nick gets promoted to Catherine's right-hand man and Ray has progressed rather rapidly from starting out at entry level. A particularly nice touch in Greg's case was Grissom making sure he really did want to make the lateral (and downward!) jump from Senior Lab Tech to extremely junior Field Investigator, reminding him that he'll be taking a substantial pay cut and that it will take quite a while to get back to his present level.

Villainous Lineage
 CSI / int_1246c26c
comment
Villainous Lineage: Langston fears he may have a genetically inherited violent streak from his father, which is the toned-down version of his original backstory where he fears he may become a serial killer. In an interesting subversion, the person he tells the story of his father (minus the In The Blood part) is the adopted son of the infamous serial killer Judge Mason/Paul Millander, to show that being a serial killer isn't passed down to people who are neither related to nor shown that kind of behavior, despite what his weary mother fears. Played straight with Haskell: His father has been killing for years and his victims include Haskell's mother.

No Celebrities Were Harmed
 CSI / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Season 8's "Two and a Half Deaths" was written by Chuck Lorre and features the murder of Annabelle Fundt (Katey Sagal), a demanding, temperamental sitcom star who is clearly inspired by Lorre's negative experiences writing for Roseanne Barr on her eponymous sitcom and Brett Butler on Grace Under Fire. The Show Within a Show, Annabelle, combines elements of Roseanne (named for its star and features a critically panned plotline in which the working-class main character wins the lottery) and Grace Under Fire (main character is a single mother), and the flashback in which an intoxicated Annabelle offers to show her new breast implants to her horrified onscreen son is based on an incident involving Butler.note  An intoxicated Butler actually did show her new breast implants to her 12-year-old onscreen son, Jon Paul Steuer, leading to the studio recasting his role and buying out his contract to avoid a lawsuit from his enraged parents. Annabelle's parasitic boyfriend/PA is equally clearly inspired by Barr's ex-husband, Tom Arnold. Hilariously averted in volume 6 of IDW's tie-in comics. The story ends with them carting off Greg Rucka for the attempted murder of Joe Quesada.

Serial Killings, Specific Target
 CSI / int_13dc1beb
comment
Serial Killings, Specific Target: In one episode, a comedian dies from drinking a poisoned bottle of water. Then a kid dies from drinking the same brand. The first victim was the target; the killer (a rival comedian who hated his style) says he blames the CSIs for not finding the poisoned bottle in time as he's arrested after confessing out of remorse. Doctor Jekyll, when finally caught after a season-long killing spree, was in the process of murdering the true object of his rage- his own father. Played with in that every victim was connected to the main target, friends and acquaintances that they admired, so every murder was designed to make them suffer before they died, as well as giving Jekyll a chance to take out his frustrations on somebody. Done with a serial rapist in "Helpless", where it turns out that his first two rapes were 'dress rehearsals' so he could have all of the details worked out by the time he went for his intended victim.

Small Parent, Huge Child: In "A Little Murder", an attendee of a Little Person's convention is found dead, apparently from suicide by hanging. Turns out, he was murdered by another attendee, the father of an average-size daughter who was in love with the victim and was planning to marry him. Her actress is 5'7 and her father (whose actor is 3'6) didn't want her to spend the rest of her life or raise children with a Little Person, plus the guy was cheating on her. (The young lady's mother was also a Little Person, but had passed away before the events of the episode.)

Ripped from the Headlines
 CSI / int_1616e13
comment
Ripped from the Headlines: "Unfriendly Skies", inspired by the Jonathan Burton case and aired only months after the incident. "Anatomy of a Lye", based on the Gregory Biggs case. "After the Show", an almost word for word retelling of the Linda Sobek murder, and specially notable for having been co-written by Elizabeth Devine, a former CSI involved in the original case who is now a consultant to the show. "Trends With Benefits" is based on the suicide of Tyler Clementi who was outed by his roommate with his webcam, with a twist: The gay college student's death was an accident, him being gay wasn't an issue, and he was the one who was using hidden cameras (he wanted to be the next Perez Hilton), in this case to expose his professor raping a student. "Burked", based on the Binion murder case. While the key story elements are there, the identities of the killers are different. The episode where a rich guy hires his girlfriend and his girlfriend's jealous ex-boyfriend to stage a carjack in which his wife is killed, only to be killed himself right after by that ex-boyfriend, is closely modeled on this 2000 crime case. The show upped it by having the girlfriend also die in an accident and the killer trying to pass himself as a good Samaritan. "Empty Eyes" bears many similarities to Richard Speck's crimes. The main suspect in "Bittersweet" is closely modeled on Karla Homolka. "Pledging Mr. Johnson" was somewhat based on the real life death of a medical student in the 60s from a similar liver-swallowing fraternity hazing. The "rebirthing" therapy case was based on the Candice Newmaker case, in which Candice was forced to go through rebirthing therapy by her adoptive mother, leading to her death. "Torch Song" is based on The Station nightclub fire, down to the toxic insulation foam catching fire and suffocating the audience, and band members among the victims. The only major difference is that the episode's fire was deliberate arson rather than accidental.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 CSI / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: Discussed in "Chaos Theory." After exhausting several theories as to how college girl Paige Wycoff ended up dead in a dumpster behind her dormitory, Grissom quotes H. L. Mencken, "For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." He then adds that, since that's the case, they need to look for a solution that's messy, complicated, and right. Turns out the dumpster got hit by a passing car taking a short-cut in the rain at night while the girl was trying to retrieve her trash can that fell down the garbage chute. The driver didn't see her leaning in from behind it, pinned her to a wall causing internal injuries, & she fell in with the can. For further Dramatic Irony, Paige's parents (both because of grief and the sheer absurdity of the chain of events) look at Grissom in the eye after he explains things, call him incompetent and make clear they don't believe him, and storm out of his office swearing they will spend the rest of their lives looking for her "killer".

Injured Self-Drag: In "Hog Heaven," an undercover cop infiltrating a biker gang gets outed, and the gang gives him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown in the bar where they hang out. One slams him in the knee so hard with a large, heavy chain that his kneecap is shattered and he goes down. Several others kick him repeatedly with their biker boots. His right shoulder is dislocated and he gets stabbed in one of his kidneys. Knowing he's a goner, they stand back and watch as he tries to drag himself to the door with his left hand, leaving bloody prints and a Trail of Blood behind. He dies before he gets out.

Artistic License – Biology
 CSI / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: The series plays fast and loose with various aspects of biology, particularly on the subject of fingerprints, which aren't necessarily left as easily or on as many surfaces as the show would have one believe. One CGI montage in "Grave Danger" shows fire ants injecting venom through their bites. Real ants only bite to get hold and then inject venom through their abdomen stings, like bees and wasps. "If I Had a Hammer" has fingerprints on the murder weapon and DNA from blood on a piece of evidence being usable for analysis after 18 years, when in reality they would have been far too degraded to be useful. In the third season episode "Got Murder?" a teenage girl is lactating, but we are told a medical examination revealed that she's a virgin, thus indicating it is a phantom pregnancy. There is no reliable method of determining whether a woman is a virgin with any kind of physical examination. Most likely this would be referring to the presence of an intact hymen, but it is both possible to have sex without the hymen being ruptured, and for the hymen to be ruptured without having sex.

 CSI / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The 300th episode "Frame By Frame'' was promoted as featuring a return guest appearance by Marg Helgenberger, reprising her role as Catherine Willows. Some TV Guide entries even claimed that Catherine returns to assist the CSIs in a cold case. In actuality, Catherine only appears in flashbacks (newly shot, mind you), and the character never actually appears in the present time. The previous episode's trailer had Greg saying he's going to leave the CSI (after he had said in the last episode that, unlike Sara, he'd never tire of the job); actually he's afraid he's going to be forced to leave if it's proven his negligence put an innocent man in jail for a decade (it was actually a rookie cop who unwittingly contaminated the crime scene)

Suicide Is Shameful: In the episode "Who Shot Sherlock?", Greg cites the possibility that a relative of the deceased covered up a suicide as a possible explanation for contradictory evidence at the crime scene. In an odd twist it turns out to be a murder staged to look like a suicide which was staged to look like a murder because of this trope.

The Main Characters Do Everything
 CSI / int_1c9537cd
comment
The Main Characters Do Everything: Literally every possible police-related duty except handing out traffic tickets. It practically feels like the CSI team is an entire police department comprised of a dozen people. This show is pretty bad about this. In real life, CSIs simply go from crime scene to crime scene collecting evidence; they don't do lab work. Right off the bat, a CSI's job is combined with a forensic scientist's job. They especially don't interview, interrogate and arrest people, even in cities where the CSIs are police officers, they don't interview and interrogate people. Even Captain Jim Brass, the only actual main character with a badge, wouldn't be doing investigative work. The rank of Captain is a management rank, he'd spend most of his time at the station performing administrative duties. The combination of the CSI and forensic scientist jobs is due to California Doubling. The real-life criminalist(s) who were involved in the development and consultation of the show in its early years mostly worked in Los Angeles, where most criminalists both collect evidence from crime scenes and do lab work.

Papa Wolf
 CSI / int_1dfd19f9
comment
Ecklie has his moments of this when it comes to Morgan. He's not pleased when he finds out that Morgan testified on Hodges' behalf at a hearing for his possibly-a-Green-Card-scam engagement, and he punches a guy in the face when he won't admit to knowing where a kidnapped Morgan is. As he doesn't really have quite as much of an opportunity to go out and investigate things as the others, when Morgan ends up in danger (as he's the Undersheriff/Sheriff), he doesn't get as much Papa Wolf behavior as the other examples here, but it's still very obvious that you do not want to be around him and be someone who's hurt her.

"Fracked", essentially. Just when the team think they've figured out what's going on Ecklie randomly forces them to close the investigation for no real reason. Particularly infuriating because the team have been allowed to proceed with investigations in which they had much less evidence than this one.

Wrong Genre Savvy
 CSI / int_20a14df0
comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: In "Boom," security guard Dominic is quick to use his expertise in bomb-making (he even blows some up himself in his spare time) to aid the team in the investigation of a bomb at an office building. At least, that's what Dominic thinks is happening. In truth, between his knowledge and his quirky behavior, the team considers him the prime suspect and Dominic goes along, even drawing how the bomb must have been set up, oblivious to how he's implicating himself. When a public defender tries to end a talk, Dominic just brushes her off as "they're being good to me." The team, meanwhile, come to the idea that Dominic is actually playing a twisted game of openly confessing without evidence to play them. It gets to the point where, after a conversation Dominic clearly doesn't realize is actually an interrogation, Grissom openly says he can't tell if the guy is a mastermind playing them or "just crazy." The answer comes when Dominic dies stopping a bomb from going off in a school and the team realize he really was a hero trying to help them out.

Long-Runner Cast Turnover
 CSI / int_240fd641

Long-Runner Cast Turnover: Since the original premiered in 2000, its later seasons have seen the departure of three of its leads (Grissom, retired, and Catherine, new job, and Ray Langston (who replaced Grissom), forcibly resigned), two of its secondary leads (Sara, quit from PTSD but now Commuting on a Bus, and Warrick, Killed Off for Real) and a number of its recurring supporting roles (Wendy, Sofia, and the very short tenure of Riley, meant to replace Sara). Most of the departures were of the "actor wanting to move on" variety, but contract disputes and in Warrick's case, personal problems, also factored.

Spontaneous Human Combustion: One episode has a subplot dedicated to SHC. After finding a charred corpse with all the hallmarks of Real Life SHC cases, Warrick and Sara conducted an experiment. They wrapped a pig's corpse in a cotton nightgown like the woman was wearing, put the corpse on an identical lounger to the victim, and tossed a lit cigarette on it, thereby replicating the scene that they found. Grissom, who already knew about the Wick Effect, congratulated them on a successful experiment, then told them they had to clean up the mess.

Identical Twin Mistake: One episode deals with the Victim of the Week being a soccer mom that was shot in a parking lot, and the investigation eventually leads to a house where the woman's identical twin has apparently hanged herself. Turns out that the women were long-lost twins and the one who apparently committed suicide had become a newspaper editor and was about to rat out a photographer that had photoshopped pictures of the Second Gulf War to "make them more representative of War Is Hell", winning a prize for that. He had shot the first twin by mistake due to them having gone to the same laundromat and her arriving at the time he had expected his target to be there. He then went to her house to take care of the evidence of his forged photos, and when the "dead" woman came home, he panicked, strangled and then hung her.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: "Fracked", essentially. Just when the team think they've figured out what's going on Ecklie randomly forces them to close the investigation for no real reason. Particularly infuriating because the team have been allowed to proceed with investigations in which they had much less evidence than this one. "A Thousand Days On Earth" is another rather gutting example. Turns out there wasn't even any murder - the dead little girl had accidentally suffocated while playing with her foster siblings. Her foster father, a genuinely repentant ex-con, covered up her death because he didn't want to go back to jail, but before this is found out, his innocent wife is accidentally shot by an overzealous SWAT marksman. As if that weren't bad enough, Catherine unintentionally ruins the life of the totally-blameless first suspect by outing him as a registered sex offender (which he'd only become by accident - he obliviously stripped naked in front of a group of children while high), and in the episode's final scene he confronts her in the parking garage and tells her point blank that someday when she least expects it, he's planning to come to her house and commit suicide on her front lawn.

Nice Character, Mean Actor: In-universe and for a Top Chef-esque reality TV star: the show's producer was going out of her way to make him look like a nice underdog because he and another chef were her college buddies — and then she found out they were the ones who raped her sister (I think). She turned him into four fancy dishes and poisoned his buddy with almonds (actual almonds (well, almond powder), not the bitter kind).

Offing the Offspring
 CSI / int_27ab0123
comment
Offing the Offspring: One woman was so devoted to her son that she used her gangster boyfriend to murder her adult grandchildren and nearly her great-grandchild when she learned her granddaughter had evidence her son had molested them (his children, not the great-grandchild). Her excuse for being able to kill her own family so easily was the fact that she had given birth to and raised her son while the other three may as well have been strangers. Sadly this was ripped from the headlines (and before you ask: yup, Florida). One early episode had a woman simply murder her 7-year old daughter on an amusement park ride to make it look like an accident so she would be free to run off with her boyfriend without having to deal with the responsibility. The ending has it ambiguous if the CSIs have enough to convict her. A B-plot case had woman who murdered her 13-year old daughter because she thought the daughter was hitting on her adult boyfriend. A case of a couple who killed their infant son because he was exhibiting signs of Tay-Sachs disease, a disease which previously took the life of their older son. However, their second son didn't have Tay-Sachs and was exhibiting symptoms due to incidental and accidental gardening chemicals poisoning. His parents killed him by leaving him in the car on a dangerously hot day because they didn't want to go through another experience like that of their first child. The Season 6 episode "Still Life" had a woman who after her soldier husband was killed in action, killed her young son and buried him in the back yard as she couldn't face the idea of her son growing up and going off to war (her husband came from a military family) and getting killed like that. She cut all ties with her husband's family and would post doctored photos of her and another family's son on social media to make it look like her son was still alive. Grissom makes a reference to the Greek character and play Medea after the case is resolved.

comment
A Winner Is You: After you beat a case with 100% completion, you usually just get Grissom telling you that doesn't happen often, and that he's very impressed. If you don't get 100%, he just berates you and tells you to try better next time. To be fair though, it is in character for Grissom to give you such a bare minimum evaluation. In the games made after William Petersen's departure Catherine gives you a more glowing evaluation, making you feel like you really accomplished something. However, she pretty much says the same thing regardless if you get 100% or not.

Rogue Juror: One episode of has the holdout on a jury found dead. The suspicion is that he was murdered to end the deadlock (on top of being an incredibly belligerent jackass), when in truth he was stung by a bee that had flown into the jury room through an open window and died from a massive allergic reaction. The post-"Fannysmackin'" arc regarding Greg's Accidental Murder of Demitrius James in the defense of a man he and a mob were beating up has Sanders trying to defend himself in court and, overall, what looked like an Open-and-Shut Case (Greg saw the crowd, he tried to scare them off with his car, James tried to attack instead, he hit him with the car because he couldn't brake in time, it's all clear) turns into a circus of accusing Greg of alleged Police Brutality, racism and even the possibility of having been a Drunk Driver during the act (thus ending with the James family forming Irrational Hatred for cops in general and Greg in specific) because of a jackass juror that wishes "all of the facts being brought to light" and won't vote until he hears them (even interrupting testimonies to question the witnesses).

Life-or-Limb Decision: One episode begins with finding a dead woman who was missing a hand. They eventually find that she had bitten it off to escape from a psycho's basement. In "Consumed", it looks like a cannibalistic serial killer chewed through his own wrist in order to escape, leaving his hand handcuffed to the inside of a car. It was actually staged to allow the killer to exaggerate his mystique.

Lampshade Hanging: After ten long years, they finally poke fun at their periodic explanations of how a test or piece of equipment works for the benefit of the audience, even though there's no good reason for, say, Sara to be telling this to Nick in the course of everyday work. Lampshades were also hung about being a forensics series in "I Like to Watch". Grissom tells the crew of a forensics Reality Show that there are too many forensics shows, and Hodges remarks that a six-hour laser ablation test will only take 30 seconds on TV when the show's editors re-cut it...just before a montage of him doing the test that's exactly 30 seconds long.

Nausea Dissonance: In one episode, Catherine sends the rookie officer escorting her out because of this trope (she doesn't want vomit contaminating her crime-scene). The suspect turns out to have been hiding, and attacks her. This doubles as a Call-Back when Warrick berates the officer for not clearing the scene because "[They] lost a CSI 2 years ago because of [that]." He's referring to the first episode, in which he was the one to leave another CSI alone at a crime scene.

Omniscient Database
 CSI / int_2bf84ccb
comment
Omniscient Database: Revolutionized this trope. They have demonstrated databases on blood, hair, rope, wire, shoe prints, tire treads, tire rubber compositions, and even clown makeup patterns. There was a Lampshade Hanging in a sixth season episode, in which Hodges sarcastically suggested searching a database to discover the brand of a hot dog. To be fair, the clown makeup database belonged to a clown guild in Las Vegas, which is Truth in Television. Each professional clown is required to wear a unique make-up that is registered in the guild. Wearing another clown's make-up is punishable. An early Season Ten episode features a database on gangs, including cases related to each gang, their territory and their known members. In fact, it's when CSI avoids the trope that it can be jarring. A reoccurring scene is the local trace evidence guy naming a compound, and the CSI identifying the compound's common name, and its uses, including the more arcane (say, Jeweller grinder lubricant) on the top of their head. Said arcane use are always the key to cracking the case. This gets jarring because there ARE databases to identify the most common uses of chemicals.

Secret Relationship: At first, Gil and Sara kept their relationship a secret from the team, and especially Ecklie since Gil is Sara's supervisor and that's a big no-no as far as LAPD/Crime Lab policy.

Lotsa People Try to Dun It
 CSI / int_2d1d46bb

Lotsa People Try to Dun It: A extreme example occurs in "Ending Happy". The CSIs are investigating Rasputinian Death of boxer Lorenzo 'Happy' Gonzales, and discover a bizarre chain of events where the multiple murder attempts ended up interfering with each other. The drugged-up ex-boxer passes out on his favorite prostitute's bed, and is injected with snake venom by her and an accomplice. His boss's wife is fed shrimp by his boss, in order to trigger Happy's allergy when they hook up, causing his throat to swell. He's then shot through the throat with a crossbow by one of the people who injected him with snake venom, allowing him to breathe again. He figures out what the prostitute did and goes back to her room angry, and she hits him with a crowbar. Then he staggers off to rest on a chair by the brothel's swimming pool, and leans over to pick up a cigarette. The chair collapses under his weight and drops him into the pool, wherein he finally drowns.

Frame-Up
 CSI / int_2d363f63
comment
Frame-Up: The plot of the 2021 revival is a kidnap case which leads to a lab that implies Hodges has been faking evidence in thousands of cases. Sara, of course, knows Hodges would never do this, but the newer CSI techs aren't sure and the D.A. wants Hodges arrested. Worse is how this would mean every case Hodges ever had a hand in is now suspect and open for appeal.

Suicide, Not Murder
 CSI / int_2d717e11
comment
Suicide, Not Murder: Hodges' 'death' (actually a scenario for his board game) in "You Kill Me" turns out to be this. Subverted in the episode "Who Shot Sherlock?". The victim, a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast, is killed by a gunshot to the head. At the end of the last meeting of a group of other Holmes fans, he told them he would have a special mystery prepared for the next one. The CSI team eventually comes to believe that the victim killed himself when they find the gun in a chimney, suspended by an elastic band; this makes it look like the victim shot himself with the band outstretched, after which it withdrew into the chimney where nobody would think to look, in order to create a mystery around his own death. Then it turns out that he was killed by a member of the group who then set up the scene to look like this. Said member then turns out to have been framed by yet another member. "Hitting for the Cycle": Ben Fowler, who was found dead in a swimming pool, killed by a gunshot through the mouth and with his hands tied together. He turns out to have made it look like he was murdered when the house he was sitting was broken into and robbed because he owed money to criminals and wanted his ex-wife to get the payout for his life insurance; he staged it to look like a murder because the money wouldn't have been paid out if his death were ruled a suicide.

Mistaken for Cheating: Doc's wife, when a body turns up in her bed. It was really a set-up, with a wrong place, wrong time kind of feel. In "Turn of the Screws", a jealous mother suspected her daughter of trying to steal her younger boyfriend. Turns out he was just giving her a ride home from school.

Missing Child

Missing Child: One episode has two boys who go missing and the main suspect is a pedophile. It doesn't help when the team has to enlist his help to try to find the boys and he begins to describe in detail to Grissom how he would lure a child to him by gaining their trust. Another suspect is one of the boy's abusive grandfather. Imagine you were the son of that man, forced to leave your son with him because the grandfather is the only one available to look after your son. And fails. The pedophile did it.

Occam's Razor
 CSI / int_2e13acd1
comment
Occam's Razor: In a rather bizarre instance, Grissom brings this up in one episode to suggest that the killer was...the Nazi Mad Scientist Evil Twin of the man they thought was the killer. That was the "simplest explanation" he offered (he was right, of course, but still - hardly "simple"). Used also in Catherine's final episode where she's determined to prove a ruthless millionaire killed an old friend of hers as well as an FBI agent and was behind attempts on Catherine's life. She does become confused when she realizes the leads don't seem to be panning out for the guy. It's Sara who cites the trope by noting this all started when Catherine's "old friend" who she hadn't seen in years showed up and told her about her husband being this criminal and then she seemingly vanished in a car fire. As it happens, the "friend" set this whole thing up to trick Catherine into going after her husband to cover up how she'd been using her husband's foundation for her own criminal acts.

Scary Black Man: Several of these have been suspects over the years. An amusing subversion came from a black teenage gangbanger and Smug Snake, who tried to use this trope to intimidate Warrick. Warrick, of course, wasn't the least bit impressed. Dr. Langston when he's been sufficiently provoked. The look on his face right before he murders Nate Haskell all but cements it.

However, he isn't willing to reveal what he knows until after he's gone clean, since he didn't think he'd be believed.

Ironically, since the victim is choking due to anaphylactic shock at the time, his windpipe being opened gives him enough time to reach his epi-pen. The bolt also manages to miss everything else in the victim's neck by pure chance.

Turns out Finlay went to extremes to prove a VIP was guilty and DB was forced to fire her despite believing in her. We never find out exactly what Kelly from "Grave Danger" did to go to prison, or if she's actually innocent as she says. They say she was an accessory to murder along with her boyfriend. Although who the victim was, who her boyfriend was, why he killed him, or how she supposedly helped are never explained. Surprisingly, the Necro Cam bit they do in the same scene only makes it more confusing.

Turns out the snitch is the man's irate wife, who got angry at him not answering her calls and tattooing the female parter's name on him, so she spilled the beans to the bartender, who unknown to her, is actually the ringleader of the biker gang.

Manipulative Bastard: The online "partner" of a troubled kid who shoots up the LVPD who turns out to be a cop who had had enough of both her (allegedly) abusive cop husband (she sets it up so he's the first one shot) and her (allegedly) stalker-y "SWAT" lover (she used his computer to frame him as the "partner", plus he'd kill the kid). Ironically they came into contact because the kid's mom wanted to help her son after his only friend was shot by cops and signed him up for (among other things) an LVPD youth outreach program.

Confess to a Lesser Crime: In "King Baby", after the forensics establish that the victim's wife was at the scene of her husband's death for over an hour before calling for help, she admits that she did watch him die and cleaned up some of the evidence, but denies having any role in the fall that killed him. It's left ambiguous if she'll take any of the blame for his death once the full mystery is unraveled.

Video Arcade: In one episode, the team question a man while his young son plays a video game in a hotel's arcade. Saying they won't believe him about his whereabouts, he interrupts his son's game and tells him to tell the investigators where he was. The boy gripes to his dad for costing him "a man," but tells the CSIs what they need to know. The dad then tells the boy they'll go to Circus Circus instead because they have better games there.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In "Anatomy of a Lye", a young hot-shot attorney tries to cover up what appears to be a DUI hit-and-run when he allows the pedestrian he hit to die while lodged in his windshield, then soaks his body in lye and buries him in a playground. But as it turns out, the pedestrian jumped out in front of his car in a suicide attempt. If he had just stopped and called 9-1-1, the worst that would've happened was just a DUI charge, and given his resources as an attorney he had a chance of getting off scot free.

Terminally-Ill Criminal: The killer of a young girl in "Harvest" is eventually revealed to have been her older brother. Turns out that the teen was afflicted with leukemia and his sister was a Walking Transplant, and no matter how much they both tried to talk to their parents they refused to stop harvesting from the poor girl to keep him alive, so he decided to give the girl a Mercy Kill and let his failing organs kill him eventually (he confesses to Grissom knowing he won't live to see the inside of a courtroom). "Living Legend" has a former mobster go around killing his former associates after discovering he would soon die from a bullet lodged in his chest that a mob doctor was unable to remove. He's eventually arrested and gloats that he won't live to see his trial. Catherine then points out that mob doctors aren't known for their skill and a regular doctor was able to remove the bullet. The mobster is now going to live a long time.

Separated at Birth
 CSI / int_47f95750
comment
One episode focuses on the murders of a pair of identical twins killed hours apart on the same night. Except they were Separated at Birth, and neither knows that the other even exists. Turns out that the first one killed, Amanda, dies entirely due to this trope: the killer is targeting her sister, Jill, and knows that Jill typically picks up her dry-cleaning in the evening of a certain day of the week. Coincidentally, Amanda uses the same dry-cleaner, and originally planned to drop some clothes off earlier that morning. However, Jill had a date that night, and therefore picked up her dress early. And Amanda had to take her son to an emergency ear doctor appointment, and therefore ended up going to the dry cleaner's earlier than planned. As a result, Amanda arrives at the cleaner's around the same time her identical twin was supposed to, and the killer mistakes her for Jill and murders her. He then breaks into Jill's apartment to steal some incriminating evidence, and is still there when she returns home from her date, only this time the coincidence gets her killed. A few other coincidences pop up regarding the twins: they have the same taste in watches, are listening and singing along to the same song shortly before Amanda dies (appropriately titled "Two Of A Kind"), and have similar handwriting. To top it off, Amanda had signed up for a photography class at the local university... and Jill was going to be the teacher. Had they not been murdered, the twins would have finally met through Contrived Coincidence.

Race Against the Clock
 CSI / int_496569e8
comment
Race Against the Clock: In "Invisible Evidence", a judge throws out all of the evidence against an accused rapist-murderer because a search warrant was not obtained to search the car where the evidence was found. Gil gets a 24 hour continuance for the team to gather new evidence. Another episode has the team trying to prove a violent felon's guilt when the detective who arrested him is alleged to have been a Rabid Cop who forced him to confess, and the court is set to overturn the conviction. The team ends up not being able to definitely prove the case in question, and the rest of the episode focuses on trying to keep the felon from being released by tying him to another unsolved murder, despite the team having previously said they needed to make the first case rock-solid because of all the other potential appeals if the felon's allegation gets upheld. Twice they were racing the clock trying to find team members before they died. Nick in season 5 when he was buried alive was the first and Hodges in the revival was second.

Downer Ending
 CSI / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: "Alter Boys", "Homebodies", "Fracked", and of course "For Gedda". Really, any episode where they can't prove the suspect did anything wrong could be considered this. "Bittersweet" has the culprit turn out to be a surviving victim from a serial killer that was imprinted on by her violator and ends up murdering her victims in the same fashion. Just five episodes later, in "Crime After Crime," it's revealed that fairly major recurring character Detective Vega has gone Vigilante Executioner, and he commits Suicide by Cop. "Trends With Benefits" seems like it is heading this way. The rapist professor's victim doesn't want to press charges and the other students he had sex with consented but somehow word gets out and the professor is suspended. "Let It Bleed" ends with all of the suspects killed execution style, courtesy of a vengeful Colombian drug lord whose Mafia Princess daughter dies due to an accidental overdose together with a botched blood transfusion to revive her. A few episodes later, "Say Uncle" has the CSI team discovering that a young HIV-positive boy shot his abusive mother to death, after the latter murders his uncle in front of him, the only person who was nice to him and who had tried to take him away from her. The boy is sent to juvie as a result, and Grissom expresses regret that he solved the case. In "Death and the Maiden" a young man is deemed the prime suspect of the murder of pawnshop owner and arson of said shop because the owner raped him. It's revealed that the store owner got enraged when he found out his sister had consensual sex with the young man, so he decided that raping the young man was apt payback for having sex with his sister. When the young man's brother found out about this, he tried to confront the store owner, but the shop owner was unresponsive from being shot by his girlfriend, whom he was shortchanging in their fencing operation, and the young man's brother accidentally killed the shop owner when he burned down the store. At the very end, Nick tells the young man to get some counselling so that he can recover from the trauma, and so that he and his girlfriend can have a life together, especially after her brother's death and his brother being sent off to prison, but it's implied the young man will refuse counselling, and he breaks up with his girlfriend because she reminds him of her brother.

Affably Evil: Doctor Dave, the serial-killing dentist from "Sweet Jane". He has a pleasant chat with Catherine about loving his work (dentistry, not serial killing), and how he especially takes care to make a child's first trip to the dentist the least frightening and painful as possible. And when she confronts him about his crimes, not only does he never once deny that he is, in fact, a murderer, he describes the killings in the same affectionate tone that he just described trying to make a trip to the dentist less scary for kids. Ned Beatty's note-perfect performance is a complete blend of utterly friendly and utterly scary-creepy. That being said, he does act like a Jerkass when interacting with the authorities once he's caught.

Serial Killer Baiting: In "Strip Strangler," the CSI team are hunting the titular villain, who would rape and then strangle his victims to death and target tall, female brunettes. Sara offers to act as bait to draw him out as she matches his victim preference. In "Skin in the Game," Morgan goes undercover as a prostitute trying to find a serial killer. However this goes horribly wrong as Morgan is abducted.

Police Are Useless: A major wallbanger happens in Season 11's "Cello and Goodbye". Ray catches up to Nate Haskell at a carnival, both men have guns drawn. Haskell is raving about how Ray's ex-wife is still alive, wielding his gun all over, yelling at the top of his lungs, and just seven feet away. Cops catch up to Ray and... arrest Ray. They somehow miss the screaming madman on a nearby platform with a big gun.

Karma Houdini Warranty
 CSI / int_599f943f
comment
Karma Houdini Warranty: A very long example: in the Season 1's "Too Tough To Die", Tony Thorpe rapes and beats up a woman so bad she is left braindead, but, as she's technically still alive, it's not murder so he only gets a few years. In season 9 when Sara comes back we find someone has pulled the plug on the victim. While Thorpe is suspected at first, it turns out he got in a gun fight and ended up paralysed from the waist down. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Deconstructed in "Sweet Jane" with David Lowry. He might have finally been caught and convicted for his murders after decades as a free man, but he's been a Karma Houdini for so long that he's had a full and satisfying life and is so old by this point that he's likely to die before he even sees the inside of a prison cell. So even if his warranty has expired he has lived what he considers a wonderful life, much to the team's anger.

Mistaken for Badass: Happens on a few episodes, but as an example: "Better Off Dead" has one of the people put in the hospital because of Mr. Trent's Plague of Good Fortune calls him a "Terminator"-style unflinching machine, completely unafraid of death (even as he's describing it, a cut to another location shows some thief with a switchblade being scared off from Trent's lack of response to his threatening). Turns out that Trent is a suicidal man on a quest to get killed, but the universe itself seems to conspire against him on this.

 CSI / int_5ece868a

Consulting a Convicted Killer: Langston seeks the help of his nemesis, serial killer Nate Haskell, to catch the "Dr. Jekyll Killer". He isn't really that helpful and mostly just messes them around. His actual plan is to goad a guard into shocking him so he falls and breaks his own glasses... and using the broken arms from said glasses to stab Langston through the bars of his holding cell. Well, he points them to the restaurant where they find the link between all of the murders and from there are led to the actual killer, so in that sense he is very helpful. But after that he just strings them along waiting for his chance to attack Ray, and milking his apparent knowledge for all it's worth.

Vigilante Injustice
 CSI / int_5fc9b36a
comment
Vigilante Injustice: In the episode "Blood Lust", after a teenager who had been fatally stabbed stumbles to a road and drops dead in the middle of it, a taxi driver accidentally runs over the dead body and gets out of the taxi to see what happened, notices the body, and rushes back in to try to call for help. Unfortunately a bunch of fellow taxi drivers in a nearby stop misinterpreted the man's reactions for trying to run away and kill him in a rage. After the police puts together the whole chain of events, they arrest all of the members of the mob and make clear that their act of vigilantism was unnecessary and will put them all in jail for the rest of their lives. In the episode "Unfriendly Skies", the Las Vegas Police is asked by the FAA to investigate the murder of a flight's passenger which happened mid-flight. It turns out that the man was undergoing an attack of encephalitis that was caused by the pressure change, which initially manifested in him annoying everybody else in the cabin with a massive bout of obnoxiousness and escalated into a full-blown freak out that made him try to open the cabin mid-flight, which made all of the passengers gang up on him and beat him to death (and try to conceal their involvement, including the moment the man dragged himself away from the door, which turned their own attack from self-defense into an outright lynching). Once everything is said and done, the FAA refuse to file charges on the passengers, claiming that there's no way a jury won't see their actions as legitimate self defense and momentary insanity caused by mob mentality, and Grissom decries that maybe if any of the passengers had seen past the dead man's obnoxiousness and just plain asked him if he was all right, maybe things would have ended different. At one point the CSI team even wonder if they would have acted any differently and they are divided by it, with Catherine saying that if the other option was risking her daughter's death to a plane crash, she would have killed the guy.

Spanner in the Works: Several criminals are apprehended when other people unwittingly discover their victims' bodies or provide evidence that allow the CSIs to catch them. Children who get chemical burns from the lye used to try and dissolve a buried corpse, panicking teenage girls who steal a car containing a severed head before the killer has a chance to bury it (see Dead Man's Chest above), one of the same girls slapping her hand on a murderer's car and leaving a handprint that proves the killer was there at the time of the murder, or a Heroic Bystander catching The Peeping Tom who also turns out to be a serial rapist, have all given the CSIs invaluable help over the years.

Chute Sabotage: In "The Descent of Man", the near-death of a skydiver whose parachute is sabotaged turns out to be connected with the deaths of two men who are killed from the sky. The skydiver actually sabotages his own chute in an attempt to commit suicide out of guilt over his involvement in the two murders. It doesn't work. In "Angle of Attack", the reserve chute on a pilot's wing suit is disabled before he is sent flying to his death. Except he is already dead. The sabotaged wing suit is an attempt to disguise the cause of death.

The Lab Rat: Greg Sanders, whose nickname at Television Without Pity inspired this trope's title. He has, however, now become a CSI in his own right. Later seasons have made more use of the other Lab Rats - David Hodges (Trace), Archie Johnson (Audiovisual), Henry Andrews (Toxicology), Mandy Webster (Fingerprints), Bobby Dawson (Ballistics), Ronnie Litra (Questioned Documents), and Wendy Simms (DNA). The show has given them two Lower Deck Episodes with the appropriately-entitled Lab Rats and the hilarious "You Kill Me". Unlike most Lab Rat characters on the CSI shows, Hodges is quite content to remain indoors and hates going into the field.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer
 CSI / int_61b8f9e2
comment
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: At least half the cast are deeply messed up despite being good at their jobs. Although downplayed in later seasons, early episodes often emphasize that this is the LVPD Crime Lab's night crew. Shows with workplace settings often allude to a day shift, who mostly remain off-camera and provide a convenient explanation for mix-ups or miscommunications. On the rare occasion that someone from the day shift appears onscreen, they may well be wearing Bunny Ears — and if a member of the main cast works a day shift, they may be the only one NOT wearing Bunny Ears. This is often Truth in Television: second (3PM to 11PM) or third (11PM to 6AM) shift hours make a normal social life very difficult, and anyone who works that schedule long-term is probably a little bonkers. CSI was an entire series about those third shift oddballs. In a cast full of weirdos, the title definitely goes to Hodges, who starts out so mentally unbalanced that in Real Life he not only would never be allowed to work with law enforcement in any capacity, but probably wouldn't even be allowed outdoors without some kind of supervision. Even in-universe, he's had trouble holding down a job for exactly those reasons. Before Hodges joins the cast, Grissom holds the title. It's clear why he hasn't risen further in the department — races cockroaches for fun, avoids paperwork to the detriment of his subordinates — but he's way more than competent at his job. Actually played literally at one point: A lawyer wearing a bunny-mask poses as a ransom-holder for his client.

Amusement Park of Doom: When Catherine is assigned to investigate the death of a six-year old girl named Sandy Dantini during a tunnel ride with her mother at a carnival in the Season 1's "Justice is Served", the death of the girl is built up to be because of this trope. The manager is a registered sex offender who is now running place designed especially for small children, and happened to be seen near the ride during the time of the murder (which also happens to be the only ride in the carnival that goes into the dark). After finding a hammer in said ride, the investigators posit that Pickens either abducted Sandy from the ride and killed her with the hammer because there was no way for him to escape unnoticed with her, or that Sandy was killed by Pickett's non-code conforming ride and he tried to repair it to cover the evidence. It turns out that the real murderer is Sandy's own mother, as parenthood was getting in the way of her relationship with her boyfriend. She intentionally killed Sandy at a carnival as several ride fit this trope to a perfect T, and she knew that the authorities would immediately suspect the carnival staff or the shoddy ride itself as Sandy's cause of death.

Sphere Factor: "Helpless" opens with a giant hamster ball rolling down the street and into a couple's front yard. Zach Fisk is dead inside, and the CSIs are able to trace the path of the ball back to his home. Fisk was interested in claustrophilia, the desire to be trapped in confined spaces.

Ship Sinking: Turns out Grissom and Sara's very, very, very long-distance relationship was too hard, though it appears they're back together as of the series' end. Also, Sara's potential romance with a hook-up: not only was he murdered by the stalker from the diner massacre episode, the stalker taunts her with the fact he had to pay him to see her again.

Justice by Other Legal Means
 CSI / int_69d46274
comment
Justice by Other Legal Means: In one episode, where a man gets 4 years for killing a supposed child molester, only for it to turn out he is the child molester, and the victim was going to report him. Once the team uncovers the truth, they inform him he's facing a mandatory sentence of life without parole for sexually assaulting a minor. In another episode, Brass reopens a case where a woman seemingly drowned by accident in her bathtub. Her widower husband collected a $750,000 life insurance payout, which he's now spending on a lavish lifestyle. Nick and Sara can't prove that the husband actually killed his wife, but they can clearly show that she couldn't have drowned on her own. Brass doesn't have enough for a criminal case, but when he turns Nick and Sara's findings over to the husband's insurance company they feel they've got plenty. The insurance company repossesses the husband's Cool Car right out of the CSI parking lot, and they're going to sue him to get their $750,000 back.

The Only One
 CSI / int_6a61050e
comment
The Only One: The Crime Scene Investigators (and Brass) are the only law enforcement personnel who care about getting the criminals. The DAs only care about getting convictions, even if it is a wrongful one. Judges are at best unhelpful or helpless, at worst are corrupt and seek to hinder the CSIs in any way possible. Other cops just don't care. Parole boards are more focused on bureaucracy than on doing their job of making sure bad people stay in jail. Fire Departments are ridiculed for destroying evidence, and the never-seen day shift CSIs are a bunch of lazy incompetents. For the "other cops" part, subverted quite impressively by part-time Miami character Aaron Jessop, who apparently had the observational and mental skills to be a CSI himself. Pity he tripped a booby trap and got blown up.

Kinky Role-Playing
 CSI / int_6a937b9f
comment
Kinky Role-Playing: The dead body of the episode "Fur and Loathing" was a Furry Fandom roleplayer who got poisoned with Ipecac by a crazy jealous guy in a "yiffing" orgy taking place backstage in a convention (with everybody in animal outfits and thus acting animalistic), then dumped by his girlfriend (who thought he was drunk) on the side of a backroad, and then accidentally shot by a farmer who confused him with a coyote. In the episode "Unleashed", the victim was a woman who did "human pet" role-playing with her psychiatrist and a Nosy Neighbor, assuming that it was some kind of spousal abuse, performed a bumbling "rescue" that ended with the roleplayer accidentally tossed off the neighbor's car as it was doing 60 and eaten by a mountain lion.

Paranormal Episode: Had an episode with a psychic helping the CSIs. He died before we could find out if he was a fraud, though all his predictions did come true. "Toe Tags", which had the stories told from the corpses' perspective, like they were ghosts. The cases themselves are normal, though; the supernatural elements are just a framing device. "Go To Hell" in the end leaves up in the air whether or not Amy Macalino was so much of a crazy sociopath that she honestly thought acting possessed by the Devil (complete with struggling through an exorcism) was a good way to create an Insanity Defense for the murder of her parents and younger sister, or if she was actually possessed.

Streetwalker: The first season has Nick falling for the hooker, Kristy Hopkins, who is indeed killed by her pimp. According to her pimp she lied about wanting to get out of it. Something similar happens to Warrick in the eighth season, where he was framed for the young lady's murder. Catherine Willows could be considered this, as she is a former stripper. She hasn't been killed, but constantly faces people and places from her dubious past. Grissom's one-time potential love interest Lady Heather could be considered this as she was an intelligent but intense woman who ran an S&M club. She, however, was not the delicate flower in need of nurturing but more of an iron fist in a velvet glove. Brass' daughter Ellie turns to hooking after moving to L.A. She calls him when a friend/roommate of hers who's also a hooker goes missing & he goes practically AWOL to look for her in an attempt to reconnect with Ellie.

Driven to Suicide: In "Unleashed", pregnant teenage high school student Maria Diorio (Brooke Anne Smith) commits suicide by hanging herself with her lover's belt after various traumatic factors, such as her father's death, her pregnancy, her lover's refusal to help her in her time of need, and especially the fact that an Alpha Bitch and her friends, out of resentment that her lover, the homecoming king, dumps her for Maria, decide to get back at her by making obscene posts en masse, and create a website where they plant Maria's face onto a donkey with a caption stating "I'm a stupid bitch!", as well as a viral video that allegedly has her saying in cheerleading cheers that she's a whore, getting over 1,000,000 hits. Her baby, however, survives due to Doc Robbins coming to collect the body, realizing the baby isn't dead, and performing an impromptu emergency C-section and infant CPR. In "Goodbye and Good Luck," returning characters Marlon West and his Child Prodigy sister Hannah are the prime suspects again at their university when Marlon's girlfriend is found dead after being pushed out a window four floors up. As the case goes on, both Marlon and CSI Sara Sidle believe Hannah killed Marlon's girlfriend on her own accord while purposefully framing him, and try to get a recorded confession from her when she next visits him in jail. Hannah is too clever to reveal she did it, but she does tell Marlon that she did it because him being imprisoned for a life sentence means she can be sure he'll never have other girls or anyone else in his life. Recognizing he's now under Hannah's control, Marlon hangs himself in his cell.

Once Done, Never Forgotten
 CSI / int_6e37c196

Two episodes, "Gentle, Gentle" and "The Chick Chop Flick Shop," both feature the offbeat twist of accidents deliberately made to look like murders, the motive in both cases being to send the authorities on a wild goose chase for a nonexistent killer so they don't discover some even more disturbing fact about why the accident occurred. In the former, a three-year-old boy accidentally smothers his one-year-old brother while playing with him, and the parents stage the scene in an attempt to avoid the incident following their son the entire life, while in the latter the accident exposes the fact that the building in which it occurred was guilty of numerous safety code violations, and the fake murder was an attempt to save the jobs of the people working there.

Temporary Substitute
 CSI / int_6eef5fc6
comment
Temporary Substitute: William Petersen's absence in a series of episodes brought in Liev Schreiber as Petersen took a break while he starred in a play called Dublin Carol, a twist on A Christmas Carol in Providence, R.I. "Gum Drops" was originally going to have Gil Grissom thinking a missing child was still alive. When a death in the family took William Petersen out of town, Nick Stokes became the lead investigator on the case. Given what Nick himself had been through and how he could empathize with her plight, this change was probably an improvement. "Genetic Disorder" originally had Nick as the lead, but had to be hastily rewritten with Greg Sanders as the lead as George Eads was attending the funeral of his father.

Orderlies are Creeps: A slight variation in that the victim's mother is creepier than the assailant. The mother of a terminal, comatose young woman in a long-term care facility convinces an orderly to rape her daughter (who's an only child) so she can have a grandchild. The mother keeps track of the daughter's menstrual cycle so she'll know when to tell the guy to do it. He agrees...for a large screen tv and other expensive items.

Though the best example of this is "Say Uncle", where Grissom eventually learns that an eight-year-old boy, driven over the Despair Event Horizon when his drug addict mother shoots his uncle to death, takes the uncle's gun and shoots his mother to death. The episode ends with the boy going off to juvie, and Grissom expressing regret over the whole situation.

Put on a Bus: Inevitably for such a long-running series, this has happened several times. Sara and Grissom, presumed retired for good, although Grissom did have a cameo in Season 11's "The Two Mrs. Grissoms". Sara returned for a few episodes starting in Season 10, and began Commuting on a Bus starting in Season 11. Catherine as of Season 12. Wendy (Liz Vassey) got on the bus in Season 11. Riley only lasted for one season even after getting promoted to the titles. In the next season's opening, it's revealed that she left due to dissatisfaction with Catherine's leadership. Detective Sofia Curtis was a recurring character during seasons 5 and 6, and actress Louise Lombard was a main cast member in season 7. But come season 8, Lombard left the series, but returnd for a cameo in season 11.

A few episodes later, "Say Uncle" has the CSI team discovering that a young HIV-positive boy shot his abusive mother to death, after the latter murders his uncle in front of him, the only person who was nice to him and who had tried to take him away from her. The boy is sent to juvie as a result, and Grissom expresses regret that he solved the case.

Team Kids: Grissom and Catherine serve as the Team Parents, with Nick, Warrick, Greg, and Sara as the Team Kids. However, Grissom vacilates between trying to be a father figure to Sara and having romantic feelings for her. Even after marrying her, he splits with her until the finale. Warrick is killed by a corrupt law enforcement officer, and Grissom takes it very hard. Greg gets roughed up by a gang, and is the subject of an inquest when he kills one of them with his vehicle to save another man, and Grissom advises him not to rely on the city to have his back. And Nick has a Dark and Troubled Past and ends up being Buried Alive in one story arc that has lasting ramifications. When he's rescued, Grissom calls him "Poncho", which was the nickname Nick's Dad used to use for him.

Smells of Death: Often. A specific example: In a season one episode, a body so decomposed it's practically all liquid is found inside a large duffel bag. The scent attaches itself to Sara's pores and hair follicles so strongly that her (then) boyfriend almost gags just from walking up to her. She apologetically admits, "I smell," and goes home to shower and wash her hair with lemon juice in an attempt to remove the odor.

Prisoner's Last Meal: An episode opens with an unrepentant murderer eating a steak dinner as his last meal before getting a stay of execution, thanks to his own machinations. At the end of the episode (after giving the team the runaround, and going back on death row), he, instead, orders a peanut and jelly sandwich for his last meal. Turns out he'd been hiding a deadly allergy to peanuts, allowing him to die on his own terms as one last act of defiance.

Celebrity Paradox: In an early season episode, we can see the MythBusters making a cameo as extras.

Reckless Gun Usage: Nick Stokes investigates how a woman got shot with no evidence of a shooter anywhere near. The answer is that there was an idiot who had a gun and made a shooting range in the backyard, in the suburbs within city limits, a big-time city ordinance no-no, and a stray bullet went into the air and struck the woman on the decline. When they arrest him, he protests it was an accident and Stokes contemptuously responds "Well, that's why it's illegal to shoot guns within city limits, genius!"

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 CSI / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: All three series have their fair share of these, but Catherine is the subject of a brutal one from Leo Finley at the end of "A Thousand Days on Earth". Even though he's innocent of murder, Leo's fiancé Norah now knows he's a sex offender (which he only became by accident — he obliviously stripped naked in front of a group of kids while he was high) because Catherine dug up his past during her investigation. He tells Catherine that Norah kicked him out of his own home and got a restraining order, in addition to telling all their neighbors as well as his boss, resulting in him becoming a social pariah and getting fired from his job. And it's all Catherine's fault. You can feel Leo's pain as he calls Catherine a "blonde Nazi bitch" and screams at her for not caring about ruining his life. All she can do is pathetically try to justify what she did by saying she was only doing her job, then she threatens to shoot him when he doesn't calm down. Leo just tells her in a chillingly calm tone not to bother since he's already thinking about killing himself and that if he does, he's going to find out where Catherine lives and shoot himself in her front yard.

Sex Is Evil
 CSI / int_7dad519f
comment
Sex Is Evil: One of the more frequent knocks on CSI is that this is pretty much how it treats any sex practices (regardless of consent) outside of hetero and committed. This is a common problem with any Crime and Punishment Series, really, as the only time the characters usually encounter alternative lifestyles is when there's a grisly murder involved. CSI tends to be a bit schizophrenic about this, really. While they tend to portray "perverts" of various types as being twisted in various way aside from their sexual appetites, those that weren't involved in the crime of the week, and even some who were, are ultimately portrayed sympathetically for the most part. The best example is Recurrer Lady Heather, a dominatrix who is a tragic and sympathetic character. Admittedly, most of the tragic part is in some way due to her lifestyle, but it is ultimately left up to the viewer to decide whether this is due to her own "sins," or other people's (including her own daughter) reaction to them. Humorously, ex-stripper Catherine seems to be the most squicked out by alternative sexual practices. Grissom, of course, finds it all very fascinating. Toyed with in an early episode where Nick sleeps with a woman who is found dead the next morning. As the last person to see her alive, he is automatically the prime suspect in the investigation. Turns out, she was a prostitute who was going to go solo, and her former pimp killed her after Nick left her house.

Time-Delayed Death
 CSI / int_7e5b0184

Time-Delayed Death: Several examples: A man who was punched in the back of the head in a bar fight and later died of a brain hemorrhage in the bath. A boy who was stabbed trying to prevent his little brother from murdering their mother's boyfriend tries to walk home, but collapses and dies... right under the tires of a cab. The cabbie then gets beaten to death by a mob who thinks he ran the boy down and was about to drive off, when he was actually going for his radio. This was the killer, Dr. Jekyll's pattern, he would knock them out and perform surgery on them that would sabotage their body from the inside, thus causing them to die weeks after the incident without them knowing why. A football coach is savagely beaten about the head while he sleeps; the next morning he wakes up, brushes his teeth, has breakfast and gets the paper while bleeding profusely from his head and mouth. The ME concludes that parts of his brain were just intact enough for him to "zombie-walk" through his morning rituals. A miner gets a long wooden stake stuck on the top of his head and manages to drive from a mine in the mountains to a casino parking lot before he collapses and dies in front of a police officer. The cop is understandably confused.

Open Relationship Failure
 CSI / int_7e7d1a03
comment
Open Relationship Failure: "Swap Meet": A murder reveals that a neighborhood has been holding swinger parties amongst the adults, with four rules: No photos. No videos. No affairs (the swinging at the party not counting), and the children must never know. All of those rules are broken, resulting in a murder of a woman by her jealous daughter who had also been seeing the same man. In another episode, a man is left hospitalized, and he has a wife and a lover visit him in the hospital, both well aware of the other. The attempt was made by the wife, who was incensed that her husband never made love to her first in their trysts with the other woman. A husband and wife pair of killers invite couples to join them in a foursome, then force the husband to kill his wife to spare her from rape and torture before death, then kill the husband themselves. One couple is spared because they began bickering before things got started, and breaking up unhappy couples wasn't the motivation of the killer duo. The killer couple turned out to be trying to save their own marriage; the wife was getting off on it or something.

Human Mail: In "Helpless", a woman has herself packed into a box and shipped to her lover as a way of generating a sexual thrill. However, because her lover had been murdered, there is no one to let her out at the other end and she dies. In "Nesting Dolls," the bodies of two women are found in a makeshift grave. The first one is, in fact, a homicide, but the second turns out to be an illegal immigrant who attempted to literally mail herself to the U.S. and dies in the process.

In "Death and the Maiden" a young man is deemed the prime suspect of the murder of pawnshop owner and arson of said shop because the owner raped him. It's revealed that the store owner got enraged when he found out his sister had consensual sex with the young man, so he decided that raping the young man was apt payback for having sex with his sister. When the young man's brother found out about this, he tried to confront the store owner, but the shop owner was unresponsive from being shot by his girlfriend, whom he was shortchanging in their fencing operation, and the young man's brother accidentally killed the shop owner when he burned down the store. At the very end, Nick tells the young man to get some counselling so that he can recover from the trauma, and so that he and his girlfriend can have a life together, especially after her brother's death and his brother being sent off to prison, but it's implied the young man will refuse counselling, and he breaks up with his girlfriend because she reminds him of her brother.

Sympathetic Murderer: Played absolutely straight in one episode with a guy who is responsible, by complete and total accident, for the death of his grandmother, wife, and next door neighbor, and winds up buried up to his waist in cement for it. The whole thing reads like an extended version of The Far Side, complete with the wife wearing cats-eye glasses. Then there was the guy from "Lying Down With Dogs" who was an FBI agent undercover in a dogfighting ring who could never get enough evidence to prove what was really going on, and was thus forced to watch innocent animals being abused in every way imaginable without being able to do anything, eventually snapping and killing the head of the ring by subjecting her to every torture she put the dogs through. Quite possibly Ray, who seems to have killed Nate Haskell by dropping him from the second story of his (Nate's) house after tying him up. Justified in that Nate is a serial killer who murdered Ray's ex-wife's husband and tortured her for days. Either way Ray's not returning next season. One killer was a genuinely reformed ex-con who became involved in a love triangle with two sisters after being released from prison. The older sister kills the younger accidentally in a fight over him, then smugly points out to the ex-con that if the cops start asking questions she'll just say he did it and send him back to jail. He kills her in the heat of the moment, and ironically does end up going back to jail.

To be fair, the clown makeup database belonged to a clown guild in Las Vegas, which is Truth in Television. Each professional clown is required to wear a unique make-up that is registered in the guild. Wearing another clown's make-up is punishable.

Plague of Good Fortune: A weird example on one episode ("Better Off Dead"), where a suicidal man (who entered a suicide pact with a bipolar woman and unwillingly drove her to suicide by accidentally poisoning her dog while he was trying to kill himself) tries to kill himself throughout the whole episode but anything he tries is stopped by incredible luck (like standing still in the middle of a shootout and being the only person not to be hit or trying to jump off a building but being yanked back to safety by a friend of the woman that had been searching for him in order to get revenge).

In another episode, Brass reopens a case where a woman seemingly drowned by accident in her bathtub. Her widower husband collected a $750,000 life insurance payout, which he's now spending on a lavish lifestyle. Nick and Sara can't prove that the husband actually killed his wife, but they can clearly show that she couldn't have drowned on her own. Brass doesn't have enough for a criminal case, but when he turns Nick and Sara's findings over to the husband's insurance company they feel they've got plenty. The insurance company repossesses the husband's Cool Car right out of the CSI parking lot, and they're going to sue him to get their $750,000 back.

Ransom Drop
 CSI / int_8ce55ec6
comment
Ransom Drop: Throughout the series, there are plenty of kidnapping cases. As a result, this trope has equal chances of being Played Straight or being defied by either heroes or villains. Often, the victims will ask the team to oversee the ransom exchange process from afar, thus granting some measure of protection to the victim and, depending on the circumstances, ambushing the criminal(s). Sometimes this fails and the whole operation blows up, so they have to employ an alternate plan. In any case, the ransom drops have ranged from simple (go to this location and leave the money there) to convoluted (take a train to this city, check in a hotel with the money, and leave it in the room).

In "Goodbye and Good Luck," returning characters Marlon West and his Child Prodigy sister Hannah are the prime suspects again at their university when Marlon's girlfriend is found dead after being pushed out a window four floors up. As the case goes on, both Marlon and CSI Sara Sidle believe Hannah killed Marlon's girlfriend on her own accord while purposefully framing him, and try to get a recorded confession from her when she next visits him in jail. Hannah is too clever to reveal she did it, but she does tell Marlon that she did it because him being imprisoned for a life sentence means she can be sure he'll never have other girls or anyone else in his life. Recognizing he's now under Hannah's control, Marlon hangs himself in his cell.

It turns out that the corpse that was thought to be the mob boss's is actually his; he was killed in order to serve as a decoy.

She catches him in the act and shoots him, but that's not the karmic part. That would be when the new dog turns out to have been abused, goes berserk at the sound of the gunshot, and rips her throat out. A scammer that made a living selling the same exhausted mine once and again kills a man that knew too much and decides to disguise it as a mining accident. He fails to leave before the fuse burns down and gets impaled in the brain by a flying wooden stake.

Laser-Guided Karma: In "Deep Fried and Minty Fresh," a restaurant owner is found dead from blunt force trauma on the floor of his kitchen. When searching the scene, the investigators discover a second body, a younger man covered in severe burns, in the dumpster out back. Turns out that the owner had attempted to rape a young woman who worked for him, only to be caught by her boyfriend. He helped his girlfriend escape, but was overpowered by the owner, who murdered him by shoving him face-first into the fat frier. The bastard dumped the body out back, re-entered the restaurant through the kitchen...and slipped on the now-greasy floor, cracking his skull open on impact. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Back Tracking: The amount of times you have to keep going back to a crime scene, or a suspect's place (just to gather more evidence, or get more information) is a little ridiculous and unrealistic, especially when compared to the TV show. The game designers sort of lampshade it though sometimes by having the suspects get really agitated with you every time you come back.

Take a Third Option: In the first season, Warrick and Catherine catch a teenage boy who accidentally ran over a little girl. Warrick gives the remorseful kid his number, and tells him to call if he runs into any problems in juvie. In the next season, the kid witnesses a teenage gangbanger murdering his rival. The DA wants the kid to testify, and threatens to extend his sentence if he refuses. On the other hand, the kid knows if he does that the other inmates will kill him. Instead, he calls Warrick for help. Warrick's investigation finds enough evidence to convict the gangbanger without the kid needing to testify.

Casual Kink: Grissom takes Charlotte on a date to see "The Wizard of Oz" played with Pink Floyd music, because he wants to show her something different. Charlotte replies, "You want to be different, pin me to the wall and plant one on me like you mean it!" At the end of the scene, Grissom starts to leave, then pauses to ask, "Pin you to the wall?" Sara needs to test out a theory about how a victim was restrained with duct tape, so she asks Grissom, "Tape me up?" Grissom, before following her to the lab, comments, "I love my job!"

Speaking Up for Another: During his interrogation at the end of "Snuff," the bully-turned-killer of a young man with Down Syndrome mockingly calls him "a retard," implying that he wasn't a valuable human being. Before leaving the room, Grissom pointedly responds, "By the way, the definition of the word 'retard' is to hinder or to hold someone back. I think your life is about to become retarded."

Be as Unhelpful as Possible: When a member of CSI intimates that the husband is always the first suspect when a wife is murdered, the husband's response is typically "You think I did this? This interview is over!" - inadvertently doing the pragmatic thing. (But again, Truth in Television; police expect ordinary people to get angry when accused of crimes they didn't commit.)

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: A family is seemingly murdered in a home invasion in "Gum Drops", and the motive is revealed when the CSIs discover the family had a large cannabis grow-op in their basement. The daughter is the sole survivor. Her brother and parents were killed when her brother bragged about the family's grow-op to some other kids at school. When some of the brother's school friends came to try and get some cannabis when the brother was supposed to be home alone, his friends shot almost all the family, looted all the dope and cut the little girl's throat.

Evil Counterpart
 CSI / int_9b54d536
comment
Evil Counterpart: Grissom used to hold fellow entomologist Dr. Mark Thayer in high esteem, and they even co-authored a scientific paper once. Since then, however, Dr. Thayer has become what Grissom describes as a "hired gun", selling his services to the highest bidder. When Thayer's testimony for the defense threatens to derail a high-profile murder trial, the D.A.'s office asks Grissom to try and refute Thayer's findings. Grissom eventually discovers that Thayer deliberately doctored the evidence to get the results he wanted to present, which would have given the jury cause for reasonable doubt. After Grissom explains his findings on the stand and destroys Thayer's testimony, an enraged Thayer comes up to him and accuses him of attacking his integrity. As they're arguing, the D.A. comes up to them and orders Thayer's arrest on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. To a lesser extent, Gil's counterpart on Day Shift, Conrad Ecklie. In roughly the first half of the series, he tends to choose the "convenient" answer rather than the correct one and is more interested in advancing his career than finding justice.

Blaming the Victim: In "Turn of the Screws," Catherine is looking into the murder of a young girl. She initially suspects the mother's handyman boyfriend, especially after blood is found on a shovel in his truck. However, fingerprints on the shovel reveal it is the mother who killed the girl. The mother then claims that the girl was trying to come on to the boyfriend. She became convinced of this when the boyfriend gave the girl a lift home from school (which was entirely innocent). Catherine points out that the girl was all of 13.

The killer turns out to be a tourist who is only briefly seen in the beginning of the episode, who is really an assassin in disguise.

It's Personal
 CSI / int_a0db7803
comment
It's Personal: Seasons often start and/or end with an "It's Personal" episode. In "Random Acts of Violence", Warrick is processing the scene of a suburban drive-by shooting, at which a young child has been shot and killed. Upon discovering that the child's father is a close friend (known to be an admirable and honorable person generally), Warrick does his best to comfort the grieving father. Aware of this connection, Grissom arrives and checks on his colleague: In early seasons, even if there weren't a direct relationship between the investigators and the criminals, the nature of the crime would often make the investigator take it personally themselves. For instance: domestic abuse, or overall violence towards women? Sara would sympathize. Broken marriages, or mothers (especially the working kind)? Catherine. Damaged childhoods? Nicky. Grissom himself explicitly states that drug dealers and people who harm children make him furious.

Fingerprinting Air: CSI is the Trope Namer and arguably the Trope Codifier. As the show ran for longer and longer, the places and methods of pulling forensic evidence became more exotic. The trope name comes from Warrick telling someone who was skeptical of his ability to fingerprint a difficult object, "I can get a fingerprint off of air."

I Just Shot Marvin in the Face
 CSI / int_a1d70162
comment
I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: Several examples. In "Coming of Rage", Nick Stokes investigates how a woman got shot with no evidence of a shooter anywhere near. The answer is that there was an idiot who had a gun and made a shooting range in his backyard, which is in the suburbs and within city limits, a big-time city ordinance no-no. A stray bullet went into the air and struck the woman on the decline. When they arrest him, he protests it was an accident and Stokes contemptuously responds, "Well, that's why it's illegal to shoot guns within city limits, genius!" In "Fur and Loathing", a hunter fails to follow one of the most important rules of shooting things — always positively identify your target. So, when a drunken guy stumbles out of a Furry convention wearing a raccoon suit and wanders out into the desert, the hunter takes him down, thinking the victim is a coyote. The episode is vague on whether or not he'll get prosecuted for it, although it leans towards "no" since it was pretty dark at the time. Averted in "Better Off Dead", when Greg is sharply scolded by Bobby Dawson, the lab's ballistic expert, for failing to properly clear a gun gathered in evidence. There was a bullet left in the chamber because Greg had mistakenly assumed that all the guns recovered from a broken gunshop counter were unloaded, as required by law. Both Greg and Sara look obviously rattled at this clear breach of gun handling protocol, and no-one in the lab relaxes until Bobby Dawson verifies for himself that the gun is, in fact, now properly unloaded. In "Disarmed and Dangerous", a suspect in the murder of an FBI agent accidentally shoots himself in the head in the middle of a crowded arena while trying to show everyone that the gun he had taken from Brass wasn't even loaded. He thought it wasn't loaded because the FBI agent he had killed was really just a crazy guy pretending to be an agent running around with an empty gun, plus he was delirious and on a drip at the time for ripping an entire necrotic bicep out of his arm. "A Night at the Movies" possibly has the most extreme example of this Trope in the series. The team investigates the case of a young man who is shot fatally with one bullet in a shed riddled with hundreds of bullets, thinking at first that it must have been some weird gangland hit. Turns out, it is the inevitable result of a bunch of idiot teenagers playing games with a loaded, automatic MAC-10 by having someone standing on a second story balcony spin the gun down on a metal pole and the others would try to dodge the shots. In "Malice in Wonderland" a robber manages to kill a man with a blank round when he puts the gun to the victim's head and pulls the trigger. The blast propels a button on the victim's hat into his brain.

The episode where a rich guy hires his girlfriend and his girlfriend's jealous ex-boyfriend to stage a carjack in which his wife is killed, only to be killed himself right after by that ex-boyfriend, is closely modeled on this 2000 crime case. The show upped it by having the girlfriend also die in an accident and the killer trying to pass himself as a good Samaritan.

Cop Killer: Several examples in spirit, though not always in letter since the CSIs aren't actually cops in this show. Holly Gribbs who gets killed when Warrick leaves her alone at a crime scene in the pilot. A random officer who's killed outside a burger joint...by another cop who claims it was an accident, but might have had a grudge. It is dark and said cop is losing his vision. Warrick Brown is killed at the end of a later season by The Undersheriff.

The Butler Did It: In "Random Acts of Violence", Nick is called to investigate who murdered the supervisor of a high tech company in their sealed computer room, with only three other employees on the floor outside. After thoroughly investigating them, he realizes that the real "murderer" is an AC repairman working in the room directly above the computer room, whom nobody had noticed. He dropped his hammer accidentally, it fell through an air-vent, hit the victim fatally on the head, and was then retrieved by the repairman, who said nothing to keep himself out of trouble.

Scrabble Babble: Episode Bad Words features a Logos competition, a Fictional Counterpart to Scrabble, where a murder victim was found to have choked on six letter tiles. The victim played "exvin" as a bluff, claiming that it's a wine afficionado who no longer drinks. The opponent decides to add an "s" to the played word to get a triple-word score, only to get challenged.

Deconstructed in "Sweet Jane" with David Lowry. He might have finally been caught and convicted for his murders after decades as a free man, but he's been a Karma Houdini for so long that he's had a full and satisfying life and is so old by this point that he's likely to die before he even sees the inside of a prison cell. So even if his warranty has expired he has lived what he considers a wonderful life, much to the team's anger.

Before both of these was "Organ Grinder", in which the perps were a tag-team of Black Widows who would go from state to state, one of them marrying wealthy men for their money and the other poisoning the husband, with the roles flip-flopping every other kill. They would then meticulously destroy all evidence so that the only thing investigators would have on them would be their own testimony... and then each flip on the other, forcing the authorities to let them go. They end up being the first perps on the show to get away completely scot-free (not counting Millander, who is brought down later on). In an interview, the episode's writer said she realized this was a huge Anticlimax, and if she had the chance to write it again she would've had one kill the other and go down for it.

Imagine Spot: "Working Stiffs" has the antagonist robbing a safe and successfully evading police to make his getaway...only to reveal that while the safe blew up, he was bisected by the safe door and is quickly bleeding to death. In the Season 13 premiere, we see DB imagining his granddaughter and Flynn in the morgue, him killing McKeen (the corrupt cop who orchestrated his granddaughter's kidnapping), and his wife getting fed up with his disturbing job and leaving him.

In a cast full of weirdos, the title definitely goes to Hodges, who starts out so mentally unbalanced that in Real Life he not only would never be allowed to work with law enforcement in any capacity, but probably wouldn't even be allowed outdoors without some kind of supervision. Even in-universe, he's had trouble holding down a job for exactly those reasons.

Fatal Flaw
 CSI / int_aba8065b
comment
Fatal Flaw: Warrick's gambling problem comes into play after Holly Gribbs' death since he'd left her alone at a scene on her first day on the job. This leads to tension between him and Sarah, who resents him for gambling on the job and doesn't trust him for a while afterwards. Grissom's hearing impairment also counts since it interfered with his communication (repeating things others had said, giving odd answers to questions) for a while, though that gets corrected with surgery at the end of Season three. Ray's fears of having inherited violent tendencies from his father, in spite of knowing (as a scientist) that the extra Y chromosome theory had long since been debunked, cause him to not trust himself in situations where he could potentially be in fights or shoot-outs with perps. In the 2nd part of the "CSI Trilogy," he at first declines a weapon when Flack is handing them out to the team pursuing the human trafficker, saying bad things happen when he handles guns; but Mac insists, telling him it's the price of admission. Later on, Nate Haskell uses this to his own advantage by goading Ray into getting close enough to his cell that he can reach out and shank Ray in the kidney. The fallout from that incident leads to him being fired and Catherine being demoted.

No-Sell: Agent Ryan doesn't flinch when a sadistic criminal has a gun to her face, nor does she bat an eye when he slashes her arm with a knife — in fact she suggested he use it instead of the gun because it would be more "his thing" as a sadist (actually she was protecting the cops who were about to bust in, and the slashing added years to his sentence).

comment
Weirdness Censor: One episode that dealt with a murder in a crowded theater referenced "The Invisible Gorilla", one of the most well-known experiments in the history of modern psychology, as an explanation for why a group of bystanders just stood there and ignored a horrible crime happening in their presence: the audience was concentrating so hard on the show that they missed the murder happening right in front of them. "The Invisible Gorilla" operates thusly: a test group watches a video that features six people, three in white shirts, three in black shirts, passing a basketball back and forth. The test group was instructed to carefully count the number of passes made from one white-shirted person to another. Afterward, the test group was asked, "Did you notice the gorilla?" Turns out that at one point in the video, a man in a gorilla costume walks into the middle of the basketball players, thumps his chest a few times, then walks off-stage. In total, the gorilla is onscreen for nearly nine seconds, and no one ever spots it.(even those people who go into the experiment knowing there is going to be a gorilla tend to not spot it at all). The experiment does depend somewhat on context, however—the black gorilla is "irrelevant information" because of the instruction to focus on the white-shirted players. In at least one repeat of the experiment in which the instructions were given to watch the black shirts instead, the gorilla was immediately spotted by nearly everyone.

Halfway Plot Switch: One episode begins with the team re-evaluating a case after the perp claims he had been forced to confess by a Rabid Cop. Despite everyone stressing the need to prove the perp's guilt in this specific case in order to uphold the detective's integrity and avoid setting precedent for all the other people whom the detective arrested to have their sentences overturned, they find themselves unable to definitively do so and instead start working on another unsolved case because they decide that they cannot allow the felon to be released.

Predatory Prostitute: In the episode "Boom", Nick investigates the murder of a Hooker with a Heart of Gold that he had befriended, who wanted (following Nick's urging) to quit the business and go back to school. The murderer turned out to be her pimp, who tells Nick that everything she told him was a big fat lie: the girl was only going back to school to scout for more women to recruit to start her own prostitution business and the pimp killed her to prevent her from becoming a rival. Nick is quite shocked at this revelation.

Accident, Not Murder
 CSI / int_ad768026
comment
Accident, Not Murder: In "Chaos Theory", the crew investigate a missing coed who eventually turns up dead. Although they uncover several other crimes along the way, the girl's death is actually an accident caused by a confluence of unlikely events. "Crate 'N Burial" involves the investigation of a woman found dead in a boat. It later comes out that she died by accident. But when they go to tell her husband this, they find that he's already murdered her lover, believing him responsible for her murder. Two episodes, "Gentle, Gentle" and "The Chick Chop Flick Shop," both feature the offbeat twist of accidents deliberately made to look like murders, the motive in both cases being to send the authorities on a wild goose chase for a nonexistent killer so they don't discover some even more disturbing fact about why the accident occurred. In the former, a three-year-old boy accidentally smothers his one-year-old brother while playing with him, and the parents stage the scene in an attempt to avoid the incident following their son the entire life, while in the latter the accident exposes the fact that the building in which it occurred was guilty of numerous safety code violations, and the fake murder was an attempt to save the jobs of the people working there. "A La Cart" opens with a decapitated head bouncing down a country road before finally coming to rest in the hands of crew picking up trash on the side thereof. The CSIs soon discover the headless body dumped on the side of the road. However, what appears to have been a brutal murder turns out to have been a bizarre accident involving a go-kart and blown truck tire. One of the deaths in "The Descent of Man", a New Age holy man found dead of head trauma in the desert, is the victim of an eagle mistaking his bald head for a rock and dropping a tortoise on him while he is meditating. Langston only finds out by accident when he recites the story of Aeschylus to the team. "Long Ball" involves a professional golfer who bleeds to death on a golf course. The team investigates the man's son, who is a fellow golfer whom he suspected of cheating, as well as his caddy who used to be a rival whom the golfer exposed for cheating. Turns out neither killed him, and the golfer had accidentally killed himself by smashing a golf club in rage, and the broken part had accidentally pierced his neck. "Wild Life" has a twofer. The first case involves a couple having sex on a balcony, and the man falls during climax. The second case involves a cat attacking a parrot, resulting in the husband slipping and hitting his head in the shower, and the wife accidentally stabbing herself with a kitchen knife.

Although it appears that the casino might have been built on an Indian burial ground, the body actually turns out to be an Intrepid Reporter who was snooping around a private mob party being held before the casino was officially opened. He was shot and dumped down one of the construction shafts which were then sealed off before the opening.

comment
Enhance Button: They use a reflection in a young girl's eye in a photo to get an image of the location where the picture was taken (a boat). A particularly egregious example happens when they show off a 3D crime scene scanner. Such a device does actually exist, using a laser to create a 3D image of an area, but they then use the computer to lift the body off the bed to look at the stains on the sheets underneath it. It's the equivalent of taking an ordinary photographic image and being able to "strip away" the skin and muscles to get an image of not just the structure of the person's bones, but what color they are. Theoretically, this could work, if they'd separately scanned the pattern of bloodstains into the computer, then had it apply this pattern onto the sheets of the 3D simulation. If so, it's a legitimate way to demonstrate how the stains were distributed underneath the body, once the sheets had been removed as evidence.

The Bet: In "Hitting for the Cycle", various people bet on which team member will be first to catch a "natural" death, completing the full Cycle of four potential causes (homicide, suicide, accidental, natural). Doc Robbins wins the pot, having sensibly bet on his own assistant David, who examines every corpse.

High-Powered Career Woman
 CSI / int_b63a4507
comment
High-Powered Career Woman: An early episode has the team investigate the death of a woman who worked at an S&M club (where the recurring character of Lady Heather is introduced). The woman's death was caused by a man using her as a surrogate for his domineering, high-powered lawyer wife who is heavily implied to be this trope. When they suggest testing his DNA against samples found on the murdered woman, he angrily tells his wife they should check the DNA of their infant son, as she hasn't allowed him to be intimate with her in years.

Blood Knight

comment
Langston fears he may have a genetically inherited violent streak from his father, which is the toned-down version of his original backstory where he fears he may become a serial killer. In an interesting subversion, the person he tells the story of his father (minus the In The Blood part) is the adopted son of the infamous serial killer Judge Mason/Paul Millander, to show that being a serial killer isn't passed down to people who are neither related to nor shown that kind of behavior, despite what his weary mother fears.

Berserk Button: In addition to this trope being the motive for many crimes, Grissom himself states that he absolutely can't stand spouse abusers, drug dealers, and people who hurt children. On a wider scale, each investigator has their own. Catherine can't handle cases that even tangentially involve kids without going nuts, Sara can't deal with spousal abusers, etc....

Mind Screw: The episode "Blood Drops" from season 1. The father sexually abused his own daughter, which caused her to give birth at thirteen. Now, without even knowing that he even abused his daughter's daughter, this is hard to understand. He sexually abused his own daughter, who gave birth to a daughter, making him the father of both daughters, with the first daughter as both a daughter and a mother to the same father, so he's actually a father and grandfather to his own daughters. Yeah, it was as hard to understand as it was to watch.

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Brutally, brutally played with on the Three Shorts episode "Toe Tags." Turns out that the "hot wife" had depression (but no info is given if it was in response to the marriage or not) while the "ugly guy"... well, he pushed his wife off a cliff, stomped down on her fingers hard enough to break bone when she managed to hold on to the ledge (while giving a nice big Slasher Smile to the camera she was carrying and unknown to him captured everything), and then tried to convince the police that she had committed suicide because she was fed up with him, finally giving a Motive Rant that his life had become hell ever since he married her once he's caught, supposedly because of this trope.

Unwanted Rescue: The A-plot in the episode "Unleashed" turns out to be this. The victim was living as a Human Pet (the BDSM variant of that trope, though sex seems to be entirely absent from the arrangement) in the mansion of a rich dentist, along with several other women (the arrangement was entirely consensual and the women could have left at any time). Unfortunately, her former assistant (the victim used to work at a shelter for abused women) assumed the victim had been brainwashed and wanted to "free" her, which led to the victim's death.

Show Within a Show: 48 Hour Mystery, a True Crime show and a homage of CBS's own 48 Hours, have episodes such as "I-15 Killer" and "The Firefighter Imposter", referencing "true" crimes shown in previous episodes of CSI. Astro Quest is pretty much a homage of Star Trek: The Original Series, with Vellikons standing in for Klingons, fans being called "Questers" instead of "Trekkies", with CBS as the distributor to boot. Hodges and Simms are massive fans of the show, with a Dream Sequence depicting him as the Kirk expy to Simms' Uhura, Shahna, and Vina expies. The show is also undergoing a poorly received Darker and Edgier reboot, a reference to Battlestar Galactica (2003). Interestingly enough, a later episode revealed that Star Trek also exist in the CSI universe, leading to a Celebrity Paradox. Elite Chef is a Serial Numbers Filed Off version of MasterChef and other competitive cooking shows, hosted by real life chef Wolfgang Puck.

Indian Burial Ground: In the B plot of "The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp", a skeleton is found on the site of Sam Braun's old casino as it is being demolished. When Sara finds Native American artifacts near the remains, she calls a halt to everything until their origins can be determined. The developers are worried that the site is a Native American burial ground; not because of any curse but beacuse if it is, the whole project will have to be shut down until a complete archaeological examination is conducted. However, the bones turn out to belong to a reporter who was murdered in 1964 while dressed in a Native American stage costume, and whose body was dumped in the casino foundation.

Shout-Out
 CSI / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In "The Grave Shift", Hodges and Langston do a very-thinly-disguised MythBusters-style experiment, complete with Plexiglas shield. All they needed was the "3, 2, 1!" part. There is also the experiment conducted by Nick and company with a ballistics gel dummy in "Who Shot Sherlock?". In "The Theory of Everything", Savage and Hyneman make a cameo observing such an experiment conducted by Nick, involving a taser and the flammability of pepper spray. To make it go full circle, Mythbusters in turn tested the experiment as part of their show. For the results, you'll have to see the episode in question. In another episode, a missing woman is found with a Serial Killer at a place called Black Mesa. Hodges' cat is called Kobayashi Maru. Boomer and her creator look on in horror as a Star Trek expy is given the Darker and Edgier treatment. The 2009 season opens with an extended Bullet Time extravaganza, complete with Morpheus kicking an "Agent" through a window. "Blood Moon"'s Cold Opening looks and sounds a lot like True Blood's opening titles. "Fracking" also happens to be detective Starbuck's second episode and has a direct reference: Also includes an Erin Brockovich reference to Catherine (she's not Erin Brockovich, but she was a client). Several Quentin Tarantino motifs are used in the Season 5 finale he directed and co-wrote: Warrick and Nick have a Seinfeldian Conversation before going to work, Grissom has a rare piece of Lone Ranger memorabilia, there's a Death as Comedy moment, a character gets buried alive for a good chunk of time, and Grissom even gets to say, "On any other day, you'd be 100% right, but today, you're 100% wrong." Possibly the accounting firm of Baker, Smith, and Capaldi mentioned in "Angle of Attack". In "The Book of Shadows", D.B. Russel references another series with the premise of a chemistry teacher manufacturing methamphetamine. Dita Von Teese plays a burlesque dancer named "Rita von Squeeze". The crook of the week in "Working Stiffs" replicates the method of breaking open a safe open that appears in The Score (the investigators even find a copy of the film in his home when they search it) in his attempt at stealing from his office and getting away clean. Unfortunately, it goes wrong and kills him.

Laxative Prank: Investigating a death during a high-stakes poker game, the heroes discover that the waitress put eyedrops in the victim's drink as payback for him being a lousy tipper. She'd meant to give him diarrhea and force him to leave the game early, but he died before they kicked in (because the chemical in the drops reacted with the absurd amounts of lead in his system courtesy of eating several pounds of African chocolate a day for years). In "A La Cart", the Victim of the Week is stabbed to death while dining in a blacked-out restaurant. Another table consisted of four brothers who keep playing pranks on each other. One of them aggravates Brass by continually having to dash of to the toilet. While he is out of the room, the other three brothers reveal they spiked his beer with a laxative while the restaurant was dark. This has no bearing on the case, does mark all four brothers as being tremendous Jerkasses.

Luke, I Am Your Father: Catherine's dad was a recurring casino owner who regretted not taking responsibility sooner, although the two were very close. This soured when Catherine found out that he had someone (probably a bunch of someones considering it was old Vegas) murdered; they managed to patch things up a little before he was murdered and she now refers to him as "my dad".

Eat the Camera
 CSI / int_c97314e3
comment
Eat the Camera: Done a few times with variation due to the nature of each episode. In the episode "Pledging Mr. Johnson", in which the camera zooms into the victim's mouth to explain her death. Same as above for the episodes "Caged", "Anatomy of a Lye", "Formalities", and "Bang Bang." A rather "interesting" twist in the episode "The Hunger Artist" occurs when this trope is used to explore a model's bulimia. In the episode "The Accused is Entitled" when a flashback shows a weapon going through her throat. During the episode "Consumed" when an endoscope is shown from just outside a woman's mouth to her stomach, where it catches a shot of her being stabbed from the inside.

We never find out exactly what Kelly from "Grave Danger" did to go to prison, or if she's actually innocent as she says. They say she was an accessory to murder along with her boyfriend. Although who the victim was, who her boyfriend was, why he killed him, or how she supposedly helped are never explained. Surprisingly, the Necro Cam bit they do in the same scene only makes it more confusing.

Two Lines, No Waiting: Nearly every single episode for most of the run. Occasionally the characters will find out halfway through the episode that the crimes they are investigating are tied together. Some episodes pull this off better than others. There have been less of them recently for budget reasons - you essentially have to hire twice the guest cast.

Series Continuity Error: Sara says in one ep she has a brother, then in season 12, she says she was an only child. Sort of with the original bios on the CBS website. Catherine was said to have been born in Bozeman, Montana (likely recycled to CSI: NY's Lindsay) and Grissom's father was said to have been involved in smuggling. The first guidebook, covering the first three seasons, has this information as well.

Blame the Paramour: In "The Finger", a husband whose mistress actually told the wife about the affair murders his mistress and then frames his wife for the murder, attempting to invoke this trope. It even results in Catherine being kidnapped as she investigates, a ploy the killer arranged with his lawyer, who played the role of kidnapper, to try and convincce Catherine of his innocence. In "Miscarriage of Justice", a senator's wife catches chlamydia from her husband who caught it from his mistress. This leads to said wife losing her baby and deciding to murder the mistress. CSI Catherine Willows is even suprised at the end that the wife decided to target her over her actual husband.

No Badge? No Problem!: CSI gets Flanderized into this in parodies but it's not as prevalent as it's made out to be. While the CSIs tend to do things that the police would be the ones to do in real life (like interviewing suspects or capturing them, though the latter tends to happen only when someone they plan to just speak to runs away), Grissom often reminds civilians he isn't a cop, and at one point was told to leave the scene by Brass when it became apparent that a suspect was still there. This said, it is quite common for them to enter a possible scene with weapons drawn... ahead of the actual cops.

There have also been hints towards possible Nick and Sara - Word of God states that Sara's phonecall at the end of "You've Got Male" was originally intended to be to Nick, and they have had moments of reciprocated flirting. Likewise, Catherine and Warrick, to the point where Catherine is upset to learn of Warrick's marriage and even outright comments on losing the dream.

Side Bet
 CSI / int_cdb1c635

Side Bet: In one episode, Greg Sanders' replacement eventually cracks from the pressure to be just like Greg and quits. Nick forks over a bill to Warrick. (Who really shouldn't have been participating...) There's also been a whole episode with a Running Gag about Nick and Warrick having a bet on what happened to the Vic of the Week. Either Warrick can engage in "fun" bets with a buddy without a problem, or, considering this was one of the earlier seasons, the writers were letting their sometimes schizophrenic approach to characterisation show. Another episode sees Catherine and Grissom make a bet over whether two murder victims' deaths were related or not (they were long lost twins). In the end it turns out they were both right, and Catherine rips a bill apart, handing half of it to Gil. This comes after a very heavy conversation, lending to a tension breaker when Grissom reminds her that doing so is a federal offense.

Horror Hunger: The main plot of "Dog Eat Dog" involves the team investigating the death of a man who was found dead in a dumpster after he won a hot dog eating contest. It turns out he suffered from Prader-Willi Syndrome, a real-life genetic disorder which affects the part of the brain that controls hunger; people who have it are always hungry and have to be monitored constantly or they'll eat literally anything they can get their hands on. So him running off and eating until his stomach burst meant he died happy; when Catherine shows his sister a picture of him winning the contest, she tearfully smiles at how happy he is.

Never Suicide
 CSI / int_cfbd1467
comment
Never Suicide: Subverted in one episode where an investor shoots himself at a party. It originally looks like a staged suicide since he's still holding the gun, which usually doesn't happen as the muscles relax after death. Another variation: The villain of an early story-arc staged identical suicides of men who were born on his father's birthday, the same date as and manner in which his father was murdered - up to and including a faked recorded suicide note. He did all this to prove his father's murder wasn't a suicide. This was eventually subverted as Millander, who it turns out was born on the same day as his father (and Grissom, incidentally), killed himself in the same way he had killed the other men. In "Overload," a construction worker falls from the twelfth story of a construction site. It is at first thought to be suicide, since his life was falling apart and he was alone at the time. Grissom remarks, "On the day you decide to end your life, why would you go to work?" He investigates and finds that the man's equipment was tampered with, leading to him being electrocuted, then falling. Inverted in another episode: a man is found in the woods with all the evidence initially pointing towards murder. It actually turns out to be a suicide designed to look like a murder so his wife would receive his life insurance money. Subverted yet again in another episode, when one man throws himself in front of a car. The entire episode runs like an ordinary investigation, the suicide letter being the final twist revealed only seconds before the episode ends. Ironically, this ended up turning into a murder, as the driver that hit him had been drunk at the time and, rather than admit to hitting someone while intoxicated, hid the still-living man in his garage and tried to dispose of the body the next day. One double subversion, when a Sherlock Holmes impersonator is found shot to death. Like the above example, the episode runs as a murder investigation, until the team discovers the gun tied to an elastic in the chimney, revealing that when the victim shot himself and let go of the gun, the elastic snapped it back into the chimney. Then we find out that the real murderer, in a reference to one of Holmes' later cases, had set the whole thing up to look like a suicide that had been set up to look like a murder, as an appropriately Holmesian mystery. Yes, a murder, made to look like a suicide, made to look like a murder. "Trends With Benefits" starts out looking like the real-life suicide of Tyler Clementi (see Ripped From The Headlines), but it turns out the victim's death was accidental.

Regularly Scheduled Evil: Serial-killing dentist Doctor Dave (played with chilling effect by the great Ned Beatty) started killing when he was in his late teens, and only got "the urge" every ten years or so.

There Are No Coincidences: Gil Grissom repeatedly says that he does not believe in coincidences. He even quoted Goldfinger at one point, saying "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy's action." However, in the episode "Chaos Theory", Grissom is forced, at the end of the episode's investigation, to accept that the death and disappearance of college student Paige Rycoff was the result of a series of unfortunate random events that, when taken in sequence, were only connected because, together, they directly led to the girl dying in a tragic accident that merely appeared at first blush, to be murder. Unlike Grissom, her parents refuse the outcome and still believe at episode's end she had to have been murdered.

Everybody Did It: "Unfriendly Skies", though it is actually self-defense; the delusional victim was trying, probably unintentionally, to bring down the plane. "Tell-Tale Hearts".

The Perfect Crime
 CSI / int_d39d4b71
comment
The Perfect Crime: In "Working Stiffs", a lowly office drone makes a seemingly perfect get rich quick scheme. He manages to get the unbreachable safe open, but is crushed against the wall by a piece of it that comes flying at him. Upon seeing he actually succeeded in doing the impossible, his last words are "I knew it would work..." Played straight whenever they don't get the perp, though special mention goes to "Alter Boys" (the team knows for sure that the actual killer is not the man arrested but his Evil Twin, yet every bit of evidence points to the former), an ep with one of the most remarkable Downer Endings in the show. Subverted in "The Unusual Suspect" where the crime itself wasn't perfect - but the accused's genius 12 year old sister exploited reasonable doubt and double jeopardy protections to effectively get her brother to be found not guilty, despite the fact that he actually committed the crime. Effectively and literally allowing her brother to get away with murder, by not only confessing to the crime herself on the stand, not only having the means and the motive, but also producing enough evidence that she could've murdered the victim herself. Before both of these was "Organ Grinder", in which the perps were a tag-team of Black Widows who would go from state to state, one of them marrying wealthy men for their money and the other poisoning the husband, with the roles flip-flopping every other kill. They would then meticulously destroy all evidence so that the only thing investigators would have on them would be their own testimony... and then each flip on the other, forcing the authorities to let them go. They end up being the first perps on the show to get away completely scot-free (not counting Millander, who is brought down later on). In an interview, the episode's writer said she realized this was a huge Anticlimax, and if she had the chance to write it again she would've had one kill the other and go down for it.

The team ends up not being able to definitely prove the case in question, and the rest of the episode focuses on trying to keep the felon from being released by tying him to another unsolved murder, despite the team having previously said they needed to make the first case rock-solid because of all the other potential appeals if the felon's allegation gets upheld.

Inconveniently Vanishing Exonerating Evidence
 CSI / int_d78d5f96
comment
Inconveniently Vanishing Exonerating Evidence: In "Who Shot Sherlock", it's set up to make it look like the victim committed suicide to frame someone for murder by attaching a gun to a piece of surgical tubing, which snatches the gun up into the fireplace. It turns out the killer did this to *make it look like* a suicide set up to look like a murder. In the same episode, Sanders mentions that the families of suicides will often hide the gun to avoid the stigma. One of the many fallouts in the two-parter "A Bullet Runs Through" comes from the cops apparently shooting an unarmed suspect, while the cop claims he was armed. It turns out that the cop that was pursuing the suspect had turned away briefly after getting the suspect to surrender, and the suspect had used the opportunity to try and throw his gun away onto a nearby roof, only for it to slide off the room and back into his hand as the cop turned back towards him, leading the cop to shoot him. The witness to the shooting wasn't close enough to see that detail, leading to the confusion. In "Homebodies," a man attempts to disguise his suicide as murder by tying balloons to the gun so it floats away.

A few other coincidences pop up regarding the twins: they have the same taste in watches, are listening and singing along to the same song shortly before Amanda dies (appropriately titled "Two Of A Kind"), and have similar handwriting. To top it off, Amanda had signed up for a photography class at the local university... and Jill was going to be the teacher. Had they not been murdered, the twins would have finally met through Contrived Coincidence.

Ship Tease
 CSI / int_dcb9c541

Ship Tease: Grissom and Catherine playfully flirt with each other and it never goes anywhere. To wit: Grissom, when Catherine returns from Miami in which she helped investigate a case there, "I missed your tush". The "How can I help?" scene (see above for details). There have also been hints towards possible Nick and Sara - Word of God states that Sara's phonecall at the end of "You've Got Male" was originally intended to be to Nick, and they have had moments of reciprocated flirting. Likewise, Catherine and Warrick, to the point where Catherine is upset to learn of Warrick's marriage and even outright comments on losing the dream. Grissom and Heather could also fall under this as it is never outright confirmed that anything happened between them. Heavily implied, yes, but always in a way that, taking Grissom as being Grissom, could have a perfectly innocent explanation. There were hints here and there for Greg and Sara as well, especially during her time mentoring him in the fifth season. A notable example comes from the episode "4x4": Grissom and Sara themselves in the first season. Although that was a Rule of Drama moment, as Sara was setting him up for her rationale for taking their current case personally: that if they slept together, then he would know how serious her nightmares were regarding the victim.

Quip to Black: The CSI examples are famous. Grissom started the trend, but, to be fair, it was CSI: Miami that took it to a (much cheesier) new level. Averted in one early episode where Grissom makes a quip, the musical cue for the fade happens, but is suddenly interrupted by Grissom's cell phone, informing him of another case to handle. At that case's location, he makes another quip with the cue, and his phone rings again. At this third crime scene, Grissom doesn't even bother making a quip, and the show fades into the theme.

Hate Crimes Are a Special Kind of Evil: In "A Little Murder," A "little person" (as Grissom instructs the crew to refer to the victim and his fellows to be sensitive) is murdered. The murderer is revealed, in the end, to be another "little person", the father of the victim's fiance. The fiance was a child of two "little people" and still turned out to be of average height. But the victim was, as her father put it, "dragging her back into that world" noting that any children they had stood a good chance of being little people as well. Grissom actually refers to the murder as a hate crime, stating that the killer, Kevin Marcus, hated himself.

Disaster Dominoes: In "Chaos Theory", the solution to an apparent kidnapping, murder and disposal of a body in the dumpster turns out to be nothing but this, and therefore not a murder at all. A college girl accidentally drops an object through the garbage shoot, goes to the dumpster to retrieve it, a speeding car accidentally hits the dumpster, which injures her and causes her to fall inside, then her body is taken to the dump by the garbage truck. The episode ends with the victim's parents being incredibly upset by the revelation and announcing that they will hire a P.I. to uncover the "real" murderer. In "Random Acts of Violence", Warrick becomes convinced that the murderer of his old Mentor's daughter is his High School Bully All Grown Up, but all evidence pointing to him is circumstantial and he's released. When Warrick tracks him down to berate him, he is followed by his mentor, who beats the guy up, and gets himself arrested and charged with assault. This causes the neighborhood to close the facilitiy where the mentor coaches local troubled kids and to disband their football team, implicitly making all those kids get into trouble later. It turns out that while the bully stole from the mentor's home, he is actually innocent of the murder.

Plane Awful Flight
 CSI / int_e5e1e0c0
comment
In the episode "Unfriendly Skies", the Las Vegas Police is asked by the FAA to investigate the murder of a flight's passenger which happened mid-flight. It turns out that the man was undergoing an attack of encephalitis that was caused by the pressure change, which initially manifested in him annoying everybody else in the cabin with a massive bout of obnoxiousness and escalated into a full-blown freak out that made him try to open the cabin mid-flight, which made all of the passengers gang up on him and beat him to death (and try to conceal their involvement, including the moment the man dragged himself away from the door, which turned their own attack from self-defense into an outright lynching). Once everything is said and done, the FAA refuse to file charges on the passengers, claiming that there's no way a jury won't see their actions as legitimate self defense and momentary insanity caused by mob mentality, and Grissom decries that maybe if any of the passengers had seen past the dead man's obnoxiousness and just plain asked him if he was all right, maybe things would have ended different. At one point the CSI team even wonder if they would have acted any differently and they are divided by it, with Catherine saying that if the other option was risking her daughter's death to a plane crash, she would have killed the guy.

Brain Bleach: Common throughout various characters, be it core cast or those involved in the cases. Nick and Ray seem to want some when they find out just exactly WHAT the deal was with those vacuum-packed panties after seeing one show attendee demonstrate in Season 10's "The Panty Sniffer". Definitely a few people's reaction to the episode "Blood Drops". Anyone who has seen the episode knows why, anyone who hasn't should consider themselves lucky.

comment
Dismembering the Body: In the series and its spinoffs, dismembering the body is a common method of disposing of a body, but there have been a few instances where it was ritualistic or for intimidation. In one episode here, a killer hacks up a body and disposes of the pieces in a bunch of garbage containers at the ends of driveways in a neighborhood. Cue gruesome shots of gore being collected by the team.

After catching the murderer, Grissom calls back to an earlier conversation where the murderer called the victim a "retard" (Grissom corrected him, of course) and informs him that "retard" means "to hinder", so the *killer's* life "just got retarded".

Rising Water, Rising Tension: In "Lady Heather's Box", Lindsey is trapped in a wrecked car in slowly rising flood waters and Catherine has to race to locate and rescue her. Part two of Sara Sidle's Tension Conga Line at the hands of the miniature killer in "Living Doll"/"Dead Doll" Left abandoned in the desert, with her arm pinned under an overturned car, she's first threatened by a Coyote which takes a keen interest in her exposed arm, before being chased away by an impending storm - which results in a flash flood, causing this. Only for Sara to escape the car (thanks to the flood shifting the vehicle's weight and freeing her arm), resulting in her being lost in the desert, and almost dying from heatstroke/dehydration. All the while, the CSIs and police are desperately trying to find her.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Dr. Raymond Langston (played by Laurence Fishburne) replaces Grissom in Season 9, though not in terms of position. Riley takes Sara's place. Ray Zig Zags the trope. Being the new guy, he's not the Team Dad that Grissom was, but does take over Grissom's role of the older, sheltered, quiet, intellectual guy. DB Russell plays it a bit straighter. He's quirky like Grissom, has the Team Dad element about him, and has some of the sense of humor at times.

Murder Is the Best Solution
 CSI / int_f6b30338
comment
Murder Is the Best Solution: The whole franchise is loaded to the gills with people that get a bit too driven with their desire to take out an obstacle (accidentally or not). To provide some examples: "Cats In The Cradle": An eleven-year-old girl being denied one cat from the local Crazy Cat Lady (who doesn't want to part with it, even after the kid points out she has a dozen and it's not as if the cat will be taken far away because they live on the same block) drives the kid to bash the woman's brains in and be completely unapologetic about it. "Who Shot Sherlock?": A member of a Sherlock Holmes LARP fan club gets angry that the club's president and Sherlock Holmes player, out of narcissism and a desire to stop playing, will dissolve the club and refuses to allow anybody to keep it active without him — so she decides to protect the only place where she felt she could escape the tedium of her life by blowing the man's brains out and make it a Holmesian attempt at The Perfect Crime while she's at it. "Caged": A man gets so full of road rage over a woman tossing a cup of coffee at him (in her defense, he started it by nearly hitting her car and then calling her a bitch when she complained) that he chases her several miles and then uses his car to push hers right into the path of an oncoming train.

He asks her "Why must you force me to do this?" in a suitably menacing tone ... then proceeds to use the knife to cut the tags off a new dress shirt. They were talking about him having to go to his high school reunion without her because she's too tired to stand.

External Combustion: In "Cat's in the Cradle", the B-plot involves a bomb planted in a woman's car that explodes when she stops at a garage to investigate a strange noise the car is making. It's revealed to be a plot between the woman and the mechanic, with whom she was cheating on her husband, to try and get the husband sent to jail for attempted murder. A simple time bomb left in the boot of a cheating husband. Unfortunately an unexpected detour means the bomb takes several bystanders with it. In "Hog Heaven", an undercover cop is killed by a bomb planted in her car.

Buried Alive
 CSI / int_f8f71b5f
comment
Buried Alive: Nick, after being kidnapped, in "Grave Danger" is buried alive and the team races to find him before he runs out of oxygen. There's also a Victim of the Week in the third episode who is buried alive in the middle of nowhere, though it is originally a Faked Kidnapping until the guy turns on her. In season 6's "Up in Smoke," the dead body leads to searching for another body that is found sealed into a recently expanded brick chimney wall. Catherine and Sara initially reference Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart but then describe it as Poe's The Cask of Amontillado when they realize the victim wasn't dead yet when she was being sealed up.

Laser Sight: In "Keep Calm and Carry On", Sara tackles Nick to the ground when a red dot appears on his chest while they are investigating a crime scene outside the airport. It turns out just to be Jerkass with a laser pointer.

Running Gag
 CSI / int_f9f2c33
comment
There's also been a whole episode with a Running Gag about Nick and Warrick having a bet on what happened to the Vic of the Week. Either Warrick can engage in "fun" bets with a buddy without a problem, or, considering this was one of the earlier seasons, the writers were letting their sometimes schizophrenic approach to characterisation show.

Cyberbullying: One episode has the LVPD investigating the suicide of a young cheerleader — turns out that she is Driven to Suicide by the class' Alpha Bitch who creates a webpage in which an edited video of the girl calling herself a slut plays and she gets harassed 24/7 by mocking texts from people all over the country because the page also has her phone number. As horrifying as it is, it is handled like many other Subculture of the Week episodes.

Follow the Leader: The show precipitated a host of forensic science shows, even to the point that shows not inherently about forensics now spend more time on the subject (e.g. the medical examiner on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit).

Accidental Murder
 CSI / int_fd497706
comment
The post-"Fannysmackin'" arc regarding Greg's Accidental Murder of Demitrius James in the defense of a man he and a mob were beating up has Sanders trying to defend himself in court and, overall, what looked like an Open-and-Shut Case (Greg saw the crowd, he tried to scare them off with his car, James tried to attack instead, he hit him with the car because he couldn't brake in time, it's all clear) turns into a circus of accusing Greg of alleged Police Brutality, racism and even the possibility of having been a Drunk Driver during the act (thus ending with the James family forming Irrational Hatred for cops in general and Greg in specific) because of a jackass juror that wishes "all of the facts being brought to light" and won't vote until he hears them (even interrupting testimonies to question the witnesses).

Brick Joke: Each CSI game comes with 5 cases. For every 5th case, a suspect from an earlier case who was later deemed innocent shows back up again, and usually turns out to be heavily involved with the current case, or is the actual murderer.

 CSI / int_fefbda15
comment
Handwriting as Characterization: In "The I-15 Murders" a message reading "Iv'e killed five women. Catch me if you can?" is found on various bathroom stall doors all along the titular highway. Based on the incorrect punctuation, the way the letters are slanted, and other clues, a graphologist says the writer is poorly educated, left-handed, female, and prone to criminal activity. All of these characteristics turn out to be accurate, although the writer is the actual killer's girlfriend/accomplice.

 CSI / int_ffad4e9f

Shown Their Work: More often than you think; it's the editing that turns it into Hollywood Science. All the equipment in the CSI lab is fully operational. There's also the episode "A Space Oddity" involving a not!Star Trek convention, which is filled with references, including the Picard Maneuver. The shirt-tugging one. Since both Star Trek and CSI are Paramount properties, the writers (who also worked on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) got away with lots of Affectionate Parodies of Trek tropes. Also, assistant coroner Dave Phillips is played by David Berman, who worked as a coroner for a time in real life, and is also a consultant on the show.

Death Seeker
 CSI / int_fff371b4
comment
Death Seeker: In "Better Off Dead", the "baddie" is Sam Trent, a depressed and disturbed young man who goes around the city on a warpath, causing trouble in the hopes someone will retaliate and kill him, so he can be "reunited" with his recently-deceased girlfriendnote a manic-depressive who blew her own brains out when she saw her dog had been accidentally poisoned by Trent's suicide attempt by poisoned milk. Unfortunately, Sam's absolutely useless at getting killed; he goes into a gun shop and starts a firefight with three heavily-armed men, and promptly all of three of them hit each other (with two dead and one wounded) without ever hitting Trent, who stood perfectly still in the middle of the barrage. A random thief corners Trent in an alley with a switchblade but runs off scared when Trent doesn't reacts to his threats. In the end, he tries to jump off a rooftop but is dragged back to safety by a man who was hunting him down to kill him in revenge for the girlfriend's death. After the authorities deal with the resulting standoff, Trent finally jumps, but by then there is a safety net underneath him and he is captured.
