Catherine gets played.
This is one of my favorite episodes from season 2 (as well as the whole series). A man walks into his bank with a briefcase and a check for $1 million from his personal account. He leaves the bank and is brought in after a cop pulls him over for reckless driving. Grissom and Catherine search the man, taking samples of the blood found on his hands. The man leaves the interrogation room and forgets his sunglasses. Catherine, trying to be nice, takes the glasses to the man outside where she receives a phone call telling her to leave her kit, her phone and her gun and get into the car. Grissom walks out in time to witness Catherine and the man driving away. He quickly dials her cell phone only to hear it ringing where she left it.
The way Roy Logan manipulates Catherine is classic. He has the story of his mistress and her severed finger (which Catherine leaves with Sara at the diner). He keeps her from calling for help by using the “what if it was your daughter” argument. He even manipulates her at the morgue after the body has been found, saying he wants to see his girlfriend to say goodbye when all he really wants is to siphon information out of the CSIs. Logan’s scheme was brilliant really. He sets it up so that his wife and his lawyer are the prime suspects. His lawyer, however, is not about to take the fall for murder and spills everything. At this point though Logan has left town and they’ve no clue where he has gone. Luck is on the side of the crime lab when a call comes in on Catherine’s cell saying he has been arrested. Catherine goes down to visit him in jail. Logan tells her they could have run away together which pisses her off even more.
This is a very intriguing case that carries the viewer along until the end. The episode is definitely worth viewing again.
