The CSIs often work multiple cases simultaneously, but they're rarely stretched as thin as they are here when they divide up to cover four investigations. The crimes are fairly routine: a near-fatal hit-and-run accident; the murder of a model at an auto show; the death of a bodybuilder; and the discovery of a 12-year-old boy's lifeless body on a city bench. But the intriguing way they are presented is not. The opening scene touches on all of the cases, but after that, there is no cutting back and forth between investigations. Instead, each story plays out uninterrupted.

When it comes to men, Catherine sure knows how to pick 'em. Her late ex, Eddie, was a deadbeat and her last steady (nightclub manager Chris Bezich) cheated on her. Unfortunately, things don't get any better for Ms. Willows in this emotionally raw and revealing episode. The lonely CSI meets a stranger (played by Marg Helgenberger's husband, Alan Rosenberg) in a bar after work and gets passionate with him in the parking lot. She encounters the man again when he's brought in as the chief suspect in the murders of two women last seen at the same bar.

Outside of town, a body is discovered in the middle of what appears to be a crop circle, with no footprints leading into or out of it. Back at the lab, Ecklie is forced to go into the field and process a crime scene because all of his CSIs are out investigating cases. It goes well until the victim's body goes missing from the morgue.

Notes: 2 hour episode. Dedicated "In loving memory of Frank Gorshin." Gorshin died two days before the episode aired. He was 72.

The fifth season concludes with one of the CSIs being kidnapped at a crime scene and buried alive in a makeshift coffin. A $1-million ransom is demanded in 12 hours, or the CSI will die. But it's against department policy to negotiate with terrorists and offer up a ransom money, so Catherine turns to her father, Sam Braun, for the cash.
