The Panty Sniffer 10x16

There nothing like a Vegas convention fetish episode, to either make you laugh or cringe while watching with family members. Trust me I would have been laughing if I wasnt next to my mother. While it may have been awkward the story line was well played out.The Case: Ray and Nick were sent to a fetish convention to investigate the death of a hotel worker with an incredibly weird double life. Turns out an up and coming trend is panty smelling, the natural scent of a woman can go for up to 2 grand....! Anyways the woman who died was missing her panties, which in turn pointed the CSI's towards an exceptionally creepy Mr Pudder. I dont know which actor played him, but whoever it was played him very well. Online Ray finds out that this hotel worker was moonlighting for the panty sniffing operation. In fact she was a top seller of vacumm sealed packs of used underwear. According to the convention manager men fell in love with her "scent". Even though he had her underwear in his pocket he had not killed her which was a weird twist in the plot. It was then that Nick discovered her key card to her room was still active and the card the CSI's had collected belonged to another hotel worker. This guy had an obvious double persona. When inquired about this woman he flipped, and come to find out he had kicked her down a set of stairs because he was jealous of her side job. Meanwhile in the same hotel Catherine and Vartann were staking out a couple of exctasy producers in the next room over. These two young guys were the biggest drug producers and had poisoned some young kids in Tahoe. So while watching them bake the drugs through cameras set up by Archie and Greg they waited for their opportunity to collect the hazardous materials, Jim Brass was going to stake out the rave to collect the drug pushers. Of course one of the guys got away and went back to the hotel where Catherine was bagging the chemicals. This led to several intense moments of running around the hotel room, while Vartann just didnt hear anything. It all ended good though with Vartann shooting Belle the drug dealer straight off of Catherine.

The Characters: Mostly CSI didnt stray very far from the core characters of the episode....Catherine, Vartann, Nick and Langston. I always love the pairing of Nick with Langston because its very real. Here are two different guys, one being a brainiac and the other an ex football good looking man. When they get together Im guarnteed to laugh. Being as they both have a killer sense of humor. Their faces when they discovered what the convention really was......priceless. Im sure the Cartann (or whatever its called) fans were upset that the much anticipated kiss, was a decoy to not blow their cover. However they did share several moments of deep conversation. Why does Catherine always go for the damaged guys? Detective Vartann obviously was not a very good father or husband...though he is kind of adorable. Anyways he seems a tad better than Eddy or that Casino Manager smoozer guy. Wendy and Nick shared a cute banter over the law of the underwear for ladies. Although all her info was pretty self explanatory. Lucky Hodges though because she did say she was an expert...meaning her panties must be top notch. Sorry I couldnt help myself with that one ;). It was also cute how Greg wore a very weird rave outfit and kinda has a history with it. Well it was more funny how Brass reacted.
