First ‘Monster In A Box’ Plot Details Revealed

CSI Files

Captain
According to CSI Files sources, Grissom is back on the job in “Monster In a Box.” The team works to solve a murder that hasn’t occurred yet. A box is left for Grissom. It contains yet another painstaking miniature crime scene replica.

The crime scene miniature indicates the body of a woman in her fifties, dead on her couch. Brass, Warrick and Nick identify the condo building represented in the miniature by it’s unique architecture – large windows on the upper floors crossed by metal structural beams that form a diagonal line across them.

Brass, Warrick, Nick and a crew of uniformed officers enter the condo building. Brass shows the security guard a photo of the miniature corpse’s face and asks if it looks like anyone living in the building. After the security guard questions the fact that the photograph is of a doll, he says it looks like Barbara Glass.

Brass and crew knock on Barbara’s door. When no one answers, they have security unlock the door. The interior of the condo is an exact duplicate of the miniature with one exception – Barbara Glass. She steps into the room wearing a terry cloth robe with a towel wrapped around her head. She is frightened and angry.

Barbara insists she’s fine, not in danger and that the armed men who have just broken into her home are violating her constitutional rights. She reads Brass the riot act. Eventually Brass pulls out a photo of the miniature corpse to convince her that the danger is real. The similarity is not lost on her and she immediately calms down. Brass also shows her the photo of the room miniature and explains that there have been three murders with similar M.O.s over the span of a few months.

Barbara cooperates and examines the photos to see if anything about them would indicate the time of day the murder is supposed to happen. She takes a nap everyday at 4:00, so the fact that the miniature corpse is laying on the couch tells her it’s supposed to happen during her nap time.

Barbara is quickly removed from her home and a look alike undercover agent, Officer Kamen, takes a “nap” on the couch and the team waits for the killer to strike.

No mention of Cath, Sara or Greg. I'm worried. Where are the rest of my guys - especially Cath. Hope nothing horrible's going to happen.

And do we know how they're getting rid of Keppler?
 
Oh, looks good. Glad to see Grissom back with the team, and an interesting pre-murder plot. Like it. Drumchik , don't worry, maybe there is another murder that they are working on... :)
 
^ Yes, I often love the b-plots, even though you never hear too much in advance about them.

I'm hoping this episode will mark the end of the miniature killer, to be honest I'm surprised they have decided to drag it out this long, although those miniature crime scenes are a thing of beauty!
 
With the Keppler story arc and Catherine being so greatly featured for the next few episodes, it is very likely that you will see her take a back seat for a few episodes after that.

The miniature killer is high arc story telling at it's finest, the type of situation that seperates CSI from most other crime shows. Not everything is a 60 minute solution, and yet there is no need to bang you over the head with it every minute of every show. Considering that Grissom is gone for 4 episodes (and we just had a repeat this week too)it will be 6 or 7 weeks between shots of this. A great reward for longer term fans.
