Speed Therapy #5: 'Understanding The Full Speed Effect'

Hmm...those are awesome questions Geni. And now *Cracks knuckles and clears throat*

At first, when I heared about the Mala Noche gang I thought Speed could be doing something with them. Like maybe Ray Caine could have been involved with them somehow and Speed being a CSI that Horatio trusts asked him to help out his little brother. And Speed being the good guy that he is agreed.

But then my favorite little episode from S4 came along called Fade Out! And it struck me as odd that we get the little "Oh never say never" thinger from Donahue and then we have an episode where they always refer to the man who tried to turn State's Attorney's Evidence against Salluci "the man" they never gave a name, first or last. It was always "The man"

And then that scene with Frank, Horatio and Joesph Salucci. I can't remember the exact lines right now. (Although I do feel like watching that episode now) But Salucci tells Horatio something along the lines of "Back in the old days we never had to do it up like that when we wanted someone out, less theatrical, but what do I know." and then Horatio gives Salucci this look. I can't really describe it. But it was a look that meant business.

So, I was thinking that either maybe when Speed first became a CSI he got involved in a case with Salucci thus, meaning the whole him trying to turn state's attorney's evidence against him. And Salucci waited a while and then Bam tried to take Speed out, but like the Feds found out somehow what Salucci was planning on doing to Speedle so they had to create a scene, making everyone believe that he died (insert Lost Son) And considering the fact that Horatio and Speed are close Speed told Horatio all about what was going down, they picked the right time and then bam (insert McCauley Jewelers) and consdiering Rudy was frauding Jewlery the Feds agreed to give him a deal on jail time or something if he'd help in the little set up. So the guys in the jewlery store were undercover FBI guys. Or something to that effect.

And now to bring Speed back there could simply be a case where a fingerprint or some blood was left behind by Speed, meaning Salucci's...brother or something found out about Speed being alive and since Salucci is in jail for killing Cuz in Fade out. Salucci's brother could have went to see his brother in jail and told him all about how Speed's alive so Joesph tells his brother what to do and so Speed and Salucci's brother get into an altercation and Salucci's brother dies. (inserts the csi's getting called to the crime scene)

And Horatio recgonize's Saliccui's brother and knows that Speed must be involved.

And know to the second part of your question...well first question lol. Calleigh finds blood on like the coffee table or door or something, she takes it to the lab and Valera processes it. She gets a page from Valera saying 911. So Calleigh finds out the blood was Speed's and there wasn't anything in it to suggest that someone had saved it for some time to try and frame him. She tells Valera not to say anything to anyone. Because we all know Calleigh can be curisus at times and she was always protecting Speedle with his whole gun thing. So she wants to get the facts in case he's in trouble or something. So she edventually finds out that Speed's alive. And he's injured from the altercation with Salucci's brother and then he gets help....and i'm gonna stop there or else I'd be the one writing the episode. lol.

But I think it would be Calleigh who finds out first because like I said before she was always protecting him, so I think if she found out that he was alive, she wouldn't say anything.

I also believe that Delko would be a little angry at Speed for awhile. Creating tension between the two which we all love the tension? I know I do. But then they'd go back to the whole banter stuff. Because I know I love that! lol.

Oh and one thing I forget to mention in my little theory. The feds would use Speed's whole "Dirty gun" against him when he went into Protection/Undercover, because hey it happend once and that would be a good cover up. But I firmly believe that Speed learned his lesson the first time.

*exhales* Whoa, that took forever.
 
And you stopped right when it was getting good. ;)

I like that theory though, no holes and everything can easily be explained. So if the writers did decide to take this route, I believe they could pull it off very effectively, and make it believable. The fact that us fans can write a comprehensible and believable plotline for this, makes me put a little more faith in those who are the professionals and get paid to think this up. It could be done.

But I thought about the 'flashback' idea as well, and I believe that would be something I wouldn't mind seeing either. - If they decided to bring him back for just a couple of episodes.

We've seen in season three how old cases were turned up, and Speedle was on those cases. Granted, there were holes with their plots that we picked up on, but that's for another rant. Perhaps that now we have Boa Vista, a cold case will be kicked to her, and the CSI who processed the scene will be Speedle. Now, instead of just mentioning him, maybe they could make the entire episode a flashback.

Have it flash perhaps to the case, and make it like the case B. And when if flashes back to present, the CSI team will be continuing the case. - So we'd still get Speedle, but it would be more believable that he's there, instead of 'back from the dead'. (The only problem is they'd have to change the sets back. :rolleyes: ...Eh they can have outdoor scenes and crime scene locations, plus the Trace Lab can easily be made to look like it did in season two)

So there are the two possibilities that would work, (Back from the dead, vs Flashback episode) if the writers decided to do that for say, Sweeps, Premier, or Finale.
 
:eek::eek::eek::eek: Oh my god, speedmonkey2, I think I love you. :)
I always thought that Speed was undercover (or possibly in witness protection), and that there was a strong possibility that he was connected to Ray Caine somehow, but I never made the connection with Fade Out. Actually, I really don't remember a lot about that episode. I need to watch it now... darn it not being out on DVD yet. But that whole thing works so well. Can we send it to the writers? Of course, if Donahue had her way, it would be Horatio finding out about Speed, but I think Calleigh works better. Or Eric. Or... well, yeah. Anyone of them works really, just so long as we get our Speedy back, right? :devil:

lol *blushes* Teehee.

Well I have been thinking about it for awhile. lol.

Well I think Donahue would have H man knowing from the beginning. That why I picked someone else to find out.
 
That's what I was thinking as well. It would make the events from Lost Son seem more plausable if Horatio had something to do with the whole ordeal.

I really think Katie's idea is the best I've read so far. :)

Aw *blushes* Well my theory is what you get when you have nothing but free times in your hands, was in your room all summer, and wanting to believe that Donahue isn't exactly the meanest person on earth. lol.
 
You know, if H did know that Speed isn't dead, it would explain why he refuses to go in for counseling with the department shrink. First, because he's not really mourning at all, and second because he's afraid that even with doc/patient confidentiality, if he says it out loud, it may leak. There is a mole in the department, after all.

Oh, I LOVE the way you think! Ever since Horatio objected counsling the first time I always thought that that was a little weird, considering Speed was like his favorite CSI. Speed was always his "go to" guy. And I thought it was weird especially considering the fact that he was with speed when he died. But now that the whole mole thing is a situation now, that makes perfect sense.
 
It really does make perfect sense, and they should really use that for the show. I'm sure the writers would think of something along those lines anyway, but even if they don't, it's an excellent idea.

The counselling theory thing does work. The only snag, is Horatio had his 'recurring nightmares'. Of course that could be explained as, maybe he was just thinking it over in his head, that they could have made it different and not so tramatic for his team. ...I don't know, it's late and I'm tired. :rolleyes:
 
The episode is called Lost Son, not Dead Son, so I think you're totally onto something there. (And yes, I am clinging to straws, but hell...)

Horatio's recurring nightmares could be his guilt for getting Speed involved in a sitation like his brother got into? He's always been so protective of his team, that even if something like that had to be done, he'd regret agreeing to it when a member of his team was in danger.
 
I love your ideas...I am wishing real hard that they'd bring back Speed soon!

And yeah, I think the best person to know that Speed is alive would be Calleigh, but that's just me! lolz!
 
:lol: Man, you guys are awsome in the theory department.

Both questions sorta combined: I wouldn't have soemone just see him, I'd have Eric kinda out with a girl, and he walks past 'someone' in the street(We know it's Speed, because in the begining there is a scene that shows a converstion in a shadowy club or something of that sort. In the conversation, we hear thing such as "You sure you wanna do this? we can get another agent-" then Speed's unmistakable voice, "Yeah, I'm sure. I'll do it." etc...) and he does a double take, but keeps walking. We see him later and he's clearly still thinking on the person, and he excuses himself from the date, and leaves. Then Speed goes to HoCaine, and there is a 'moment'. He tells H he's back and all, and that they've sent him back (H knows who he means, but we are left to ponder...) and his case involves an old nemesis of Horatio's... Say Stewart Otis, 'cause he's a cool bady, and at the moment, I'm drawing blanks :lol:.

Then later in the ep, Delko comes to H and asks about Speed, because of the sighting he's sure there's something up. And Horatio is all knoble and Donahue loves him, so he cant lie, and he'll tell Eric...

...That's all I got. Pretty lame against yours, but I try :). It's kinda just the warm up to the big return, but I think soemthing not too glitzy would be a welcome return to old Miami. ;)
