CSI Vegas Season 2 Episode 1

“She’s Gone” makes it seem like we’re watching a whole different program, even if CSI Vegas is back for CSI: Vegas Season 2. Since the CBS show brought back Marg Helgenberger’s unretired Catherine Willows and established the continuous mystery surrounding her companion Grace, while also having somewhat less turnover than FBI: Most Wanted and solving a case of the week in 42 minutes, it is clear why the show was so successful. The series’ efficiency cannot be disputed.

In the first scene, Maxine Roby, the lab’s director, is talking to Catherine about her job to find out why she wants to come back. Catherine responds, “Gil indicated that you were short-handed,” explaining that she no longer participates in day-to-day operations at the Eclipse Casino and was just removed from the board. To Max, that just doesn’t seem like the complete picture.

Josh reintroduces himself to Catherine over the body of domineering Lynn Zobrist, and the two then proceed to a murder scene. Because there’s always something strange on CSI Vegas, Josh’s girlfriend and new detective Serena Chavez shows up before Max and Catherine find the mirrored chamber in Lynn’s house.

Max and Catherine mourn Lynn’s shattered mirror death as a newcomer called Beau Finado discovers blood evidence beneath the mirror. Following Catherine’s ghostly disappearance to find Grace, CSI Vegas tells viewers that Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle are aboard a yacht. The mystery of her other, unsaid motivation in CSI Vegas Season 2 will be to track down the other lady.

It’s easy to see how Catherine’s quest for Grace and the rest of the CSI team’s participation in that search, as well as her eventual confrontation with her former colleagues at the Eclipse, will play into future episodes. Catherine has Grace moments, just like Grissom and Sara did when they saved Hodges.

After finishing her FBI training, Allie Rajan has come back to Josh. Serena reappears and gushes over what she’s heard about Allie from Josh, and a somber piano melody plays as she tells him Los Angeles was “too far away.” That subplot having been created, Allie assists the team in creating a 3D map of the murder scene’s DNA evidence, which includes a bloodstain that was left there five years before the actual incident.

While Max and Catherine examine some of Lynn’s patients, Serena speaks with her longstanding psychiatrist, who claims that the person who attacked Lynn back then is gone. Alan Herskovitz laments that, because to Lynn, he finally felt like he fit in.

Allie says, “You’re full of surprises,” then she asks Josh about his connection with Serena, which has been going on for two months, and he doesn’t talk about it. Catherine informs the pair that one blood trail indicates the murderer angled Lynn’s body to avoid an identifying mark. When she and Josh get back to the house, they discover the missing pommel horse has been torched in the backyard fire pit.

The return of Beau, who uses his magic to remove the burn layer and reveal the skin-healing substance tar. While Max remembers that Alan was scratching throughout his interview, Catherine encounters Grace in the lab. When Serena visits Lamont Moore’s house, Alan has already fled but has left a bloodied cloth behind.

Moore, like Lynn, displays ECT-related scarring on his temple. When Moore and Lynn were younger, they both went to the same doctor, who, like Moore and Lynn, had a room with “mirrors everywhere.” Max verifies that Alan’s blood was used to stain the material. He got hurt while killing Lynn, so the police were able to simply follow him to the hospital where he was holding a hostage.

He says, “I slapped you in the face with it, and you still don’t see it.” He was also a patient of the physician. Alan releases his prisoner after being persuaded by Catherine and Max, but only after saying, “It was all planned this way.”

Catherine tells Max about Grace, one of her West Las Vegas University students, while Josh texts Allie, asking to chat. Before Grace disappeared three weeks ago, she found her a job at the Eclipse. Catherine’s pursuit of Grace ultimately led to her dismissal from the casino’s board of directors.

Grace’s body is buried in the Nevada desert at the end of “She’s Gone,” confirming that Catherine’s quest to discover what the board covered up and why her friend killed for it will be the main focus of Season 5.

It’s understandable that Helgenberger would be absent from much of All Rise if she weren’t supporting Catherine. Her experience in the classroom makes her an ideal guide for the young group. Also, it helps set her apart from Grissom and Sara in their respective roles. Catherine is more of a second supervisor and partner to Max now, rather than a teammate.

This opens the door for Max to develop into a more multifaceted figure and provides new avenues for personal and professional advancement for the rest of the cast. Even then, viewers are aware from the get-go that Helgenberger, like William Petersen and Jorja Fox (per TVLine), is only signed on for the upcoming season, meaning that Catherine will also leave at the conclusion of Season 2. When she reclaims the Eclipse from its criminal element in “She’s Gone,” the ending is bittersweet. Catherine’s tale serves as a stunning backdrop for an exciting year.

Conclusion

The producers of CSI made a smart move by reuniting some of the original cast members with the new series. I, for one, am glad to see Sara and Gil back on the small screen. I was relieved to find that the show’s original vibe, atmosphere, and editing technique had been preserved (with of course some upgrades on the set, characters, stories, etc). The woman who played Maxine was a terrific choice and did a fantastic job. Allie’s acting didn’t persuade me that she is talented or enthusiastic about her chosen profession.

To me, this program is considerably slower than the original and previous CSIs, therefore the writers just need to make the narratives more engaging. Still, I plan to add this to my queue of crime series to watch; it’s just that I can’t say for sure how I’ll feel about it if and when the original cast members go.
