Someone drops in--and it's a real riot.
According to CSI Files sources, "For Gedda" starts at a funeral. Mr Bell's body lies in a coffin. The mourners have already come to pay their respects, and now Carolina Bell is the only one left with her husband's body. She's crying, unable to say goodbye as she puts a gold football trophy in the coffin with him.
The mortician, Kerwinkle Lord, sits to the left of the coffin. He doesn't seem at all affected by the grief surrounding him--he's used to this. On the other side of the coffin, flowers stand with a picture of Mr Bell and a high school football team. The state championship trophy in the picture is the one that now sits in the coffin with Mr Bell's body.
Six large men--clearly football players--serve as pallbearers. They carry the coffin easily toward the gravesite. Carolina Bell stands with the other mourners that line the streets. As the pallbearers continue their solemn journey, the coffin shifts and buckles. They try to get a better grip, but they can't prevent whatever is about to happen.
A body falls out of the bottom of the coffin--a skinny Caucasian corpse in full rigor, wearing nothing but a pair of underwear. This sure as hell isn't Mr Bell. Before the mourners can do more than gasp, Mr Bell's body falls out of the bottom of the coffin and lands on top of the unidentified dead man. The crowd is shocked.
Brass talks to Carolina Bell, asking if she can identify the second corpse. He tries to get her to turn away from the sight of the coroners moving her husband's body, but she asks him not to touch her. She turns away when she can't look anymore. She doesn't know who the other man is. Carolina is distressed and filled with grief at what has happened, but the other mourners have room for anger, and they direct it at the coroners.
The pallbearers stand between the body and the Coroner's van, preventing David Phillips and the coroner's assistant from getting past them. They refuse to let them take Mr Bell's body. They want him put into the coffin and buried properly. David doesn't know what to do, and Nick and Grissom approach, hoping to diffuse the situation. They're just doing their jobs.
The pallbearers won't be swayed. This is a disgrace. They can't redo the funeral, buy another casket, and mourn all over again. Nick reminds them that the person who put the second corpse into the coffin will be held responsible. They don't want someone held responsible--they want someone dead for doing this. Nick tells them it can't work that way, so they stand their ground. If they're taking Mr Bell's body, they have to get through these guys first.
Grissom has been keeping the uniformed officers back, but now they approach with their batons out. Brass hurries over. Nick and Grissom step out of the way with David as the two groups meet. This looks like a riot in the making.
The CSIs must figure out who the second corpse is and who put him in the casket. Meanwhile, things get intense when Lou Gedda (John Capodice), the slippery scumbag first seen in "Cockroaches", is found dead. He's been handcuffed in his barber's chair and shot multiple times. Could Warrick be responsible?

"For Gedda" airs May 15 on CBS.
Lou Gedda was bound to come to a sticky end eventually, and I'm intrigued to find out what happens with Warrick, in some ways I'd be very surprised and disappointed if he did kill Gedda, but then again maybe Warrick has now descended to that level, he's been shown to be on a downward spiral after all?
