Episode Title: (#710) "Loco Motives"

GRISSOM AND THE CSI TEAM INVESTIGATE A MURDER THAT LEADS THEM CLOSER TO DISCOVERING THE IDENTITY OF THE SERIAL KILLER WHO LEAVES MINIATURE REPLICAS OF HIS CRIME SCENES.

A case involving a man killed at a poultry manufacturing plant leads the CSI team closer to discovering the identity of the serial killer who leaves miniature replicas of his crime scenes. -- Danny Bonaduce ("The Partridge Family") returns in flashbacks as Izzy Delancey, an ex-rocker who was murdered and is linked to the CSI team's current case.

When the CSIs process clues at the poultry manufacturing plant, the evidence leads them to the home of a man who collects miniature trains and other miniature paraphernalia. Grissom and his team rush to link him to the other miniature killings, but a twist in the case could prevent them from gathering enough evidence to catch the killer.

CSI Files: “Loco Motives” Plot Details Revealed

 

The promo is up at CBS.com

Nick is working with Warrick instead of Greg. Who knows why they changed that. Greg is helping with the MCSK case along with Gil & Catherine. Looks like a good episode anyway though.


there must be some unwritten law that prohibits Nick & Greg from working together.

 

Maybe they'll have a scene together though..making that a whole 4 this season.

But Greg is working that big case, so I guess that is a good thing.

 

I hope they have a scene together. They are my favorite team (After Sara and Grissom). They need to have a major plot line together. That's just my opinion though.

 

I sure hope we get to see Nick talk to Sara in this episode if she's going to be in it.

 

Isn't this the first chance Greg has gotten to work on the MCSKs? I don't think they've had him work on it before.

I hope he ends up finding the case breaking evidence.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Greg worked the scene with Grissom at Izzie Delancy's house, in BTK2...

 

Your not mistaken, He did. He found the safe hidden in front of the toilet. He was working on Izzy's death more than the MCSK.

Greg is in the promo at the chicken farm with Grissom, I just wonder how much of him we'er gonna see.

 

From the spoilers I've read, the killer contacts Grissom (Grissom is at headquarters, the killer is at his own home), that's the voice over you hear at the beginning of the promo..they figure out where it's coming from but it's a little late.

 

Well, I guess that wouldn't exactly be the first time the killer has contacted CSI. They'll probably end up doing voice analysis... that's probably why the writers threw it in. So that the CSI's would have at least something to analyze, because they haven't had very much to go on so far.

 

I think he doesn't contact Grissom until the end, I think he sends him a video feed so Grissom can look at him.

 

"Grave Danger" all over again.

 

Is it just me or did anyone else think that the voice of the killer sounded like Paul Melander? I know that's impossible, since he's dead, but I thought it sounded like his voice.

 

I read over at YTDAW, it said, Grissom and his team figure it out who the serial killer but it too late, I think it too late to catch him or her.

 

I read the spoilers a little while ago, but from what I remember, the killer sends him something so he can watch a video feed of him, he basically says why he did it, and that he is sort of cut off from people..etc, and as Grissom is watching the feed, they trace it, but by the time they get there it's too late, and that could be another reason that Grissom goes on sabbatical, because Grissom sees the whole thing.
