First ‘What Schemes May Come’ Plot Details Revealed

CSI Files

Captain
According to CSI Files sources, “What Schemes May Come” opens on a pair of white horse hooves standing still in the moist grass of Central Park at night. Black horse hooves oppose, at a distance. Suddenly the hooves explode into action as the animals race toward each other, their riders barely discernable. Then the sound of a violent impact and a human cry.

A homeless man, stripped down to his underwear, is bathing in a public fountain when a helmeted man in Medieval armor, impaled by a lance, staggers over from across the street. The homeless man attempts to defend his territory, but the Medieval man falls into the fountain. The water turns arterial red.

Flack and Stella investigate the fountain crime scene. Stella finds cherry blossoms in the victim’s hair and notes that someone kissed a ring on the victim’s hand, leaving a lipstick imprint behind. Flack suggests that maybe Lancelot had a rendezvous in the park with Guinevere. They later find a broken cherry tree branch and blood in the nearby Central Park, supporting Flack’s theory.

Meanwhile, Hawkes and Lindsay process a hotel room crime scene in Battery Park. The room is set for romance – two empty bottles of champagne, an empty plate of oysters on the half shell, candles burned down. Bob Smith, early 20s, is tied to the bedpost with scarves, an ice-pick buried in his neck. Lindsay shines the ALS over the bed. Bodily fluids glow under the blue light. She lifts a palm print from a window ledge. Hawkes finds a blonde hair on the body and notes that the ice pick plunged right into the victim’s brain stem, causing instantaneous death.

Sid gathers Hawkes, Lindsay and Stella in the M.E.’s office to show them something. The bodies of the Medieval victim and Bob Smith are laid out side-to-side. Sid waves an ALS over the face of the knight. Thumb and index finger prints indicate that someone closed his eyes. Sid then waves the ALS light over Bob Smith, revealing the same print pattern. It is also revealed that both young men suffered terminal illnesses.
