Unshockable 10x14

After a long long break from CSI due to the extremely long Winter Olympics, it was good to be back. Though the Rascal Flatts storyline kind of took to the back burner to the highly confusing CIA case the episode was fairly well planned out.

The Case: While playing their new song, Unstoppable a Rascal Flatts bandmate comes close to death by his guitar. A strong surge of electricity went through his amp to his guitar to his microphone and finally to him. Ultimately he suffered short term neurological damage and had a short hospital stay. It was kind of funny how the effects of a strong shock do to the brain. While lying in bed he claimed to have switched his music tastes to be more of a rap persuasion. For the Rascal Flatts gang it seems like they would have had a fun time filming this, as a fake bruise inducing fight even occured. However later in the episode after many strives by the CSI's to collect evidence they find the primary evidence (Jay's Guitar) in a devote follower of the bands. Upon doing an autoposy of the classic instrument it was discovered exactly how the surge worked out. The explanation itself left me a little dizzzy. While everyone pointed fingers at the other bandmates, it was discovered that the culprit was actually the standing bass tech for Jay who just wanted his moment to shine. Meanwhile the other case took a 007 CIA mystery spin. A dead CIA agent brought CSI's Langston and Sidle under complete chaos. When the head hancho agent got involved everything took a turn for the worst. The CIA confiscated evidence, took pictures of the investigators and just creeped in general. Come to find out what killed the agent was a very top secret biological weapon....Sarin. Which actually induces stage four cancer. As Henry said it was straight out of a bond movie. As the CSI's slowly peiced together small transfer evidence samples more and more of the blame began to fall on the agents estranged son. There were even pictures taken by germans to prove it. However in a big twist, Langston uncovered a big suicide plot. Turns out Head hancho agent had given the dead agent the Sarin because he wanted to die a hero supposedly at the hands of sworn enemies. So much for heroism.

The Characters: Mostly this episode had a spread out array of character quirk, which is exactly the way it should be. Langston apparently knows an inceredible amount of other languages. Chinese from Deep Fried and Minty Fresh and now German breifly in this episode. That requires some extreme brilliance because im struggling just with my spanish classes. Catherine played the role of fierce boss lady and charmer perfectly in one hour. I admire a strong woman who can win over an electrocuted country star and stand up to the head hancho agent on the phone in the next. This was also a good character study episode for Hodges. While talking to Langston about the dead agent found in fishing clothing he began to talk about his father for the first time. Claiming that, his father never took him fishing so he stayed home and baked cookies with his mother and some people wonder why he can be such a suck up? Lack of fatherly love as a kid may have caused that. Nick and Robbins banter about Texas and country in relation to him almost cutting into a classic guitar was perfect. One of the funniest moment of the episode along with the crazy fan and Hodges getting hacked of course. Overall the episode had the clash of funny with serious in a twisting and confusing way. There was a case too many really.
