'CSI' Dines 'À La Cart'

CSI Files

Captain
The second episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation involves a case where even the witnesses didn't see a thing.

According to CSI Files sources, "À La Cart" follows the case of a man murdered in a restaurant where the lights are turned off. Restaurant owner Pippa Sanchez explains that when the patrons are deprived of sight, their other senses are heightened, creating a sensual eating experience. The very thing that makes the restaurant unique makes the murder investigation more difficult. Despite the room being full of people, nobody actually saw the murder take place.

Warrick, Catherine and Brass try to piece together what happened to the victim, Hampton Huxley. Huxley was stabbed in the temple at his table. The three young women who were dining with him had no idea that he was dead until they were getting ready to leave the restaurant. April Kissimee, who has blood on her shirt, explains that she thought Huxley, an older man, had just fallen asleep after their meal.

Pink angora fibers from April's dress lead the CSIs to Frankie Vannucci, who was dining in the restaurant with his brothers at the same time as Huxley's group. When Brass questions him about the fibers, Vannucci admits that he used the darkness as a chance to get close to Huxley's table and play a perverse joke on one of the "kitties" who were dining with the older man. The waiter, a blind man named Michael Bowie, tells Brass that he escorted Vannucci back to his table.

Bowie explains that he has an advantage working in the restaurant since other people rely on their eyes and need help getting around. Brass asks whether Bowie heard anything unusual, but he says that he didn't know that anything had gone wrong until April couldn't wake Huxley up and called for help. In the restaurant, Warrick and Catherine examine the rest of the room and find evidence of a struggle at a different table.

Meanwhile, Nick and Greg investigate the decapitation of Peter Bastille. They visit a go-cart track where the young man had been racing the day before. When they get a list of the race results, they discover that Peter had consistently beat 19-year-old Rodney "Hot Rod" Anderson. Nick goes to talk to Rodney and notices that he is wearing an Army Ranger belt--a belt that belonged to Peter Bastille.

"A la Cart"??? What's that spelling? Fren-glish? :lol: If it's supposed to sound french, they should spell it "A la Carte"....Hmpf nevermind huh lol
 
we called it franglais in school sissi :lol:

ive heard of a restaurant like that before, could be an interesting storyline. and a mention of every csi except grissom and sara. hmmmm....
 
:lol: ^ Clever word play as always, I'm never that keen on episode titles personally, they are usually quite bad. Though the name links to both cases, hence the odd/bad/clever spelling... ;)

After a recent thread I remember seeing in LV, I'm sure there are plenty of fans out there that will be glad to see Nick and Greg working on a case together. :)

Yeah, I thought it was a misspelling until I realized that it referred to the go-carts as well. :p
