Built to kill (part 1)

Cirque du Soleil is known for putting on a spectacular show, but this time it's the performers who are in for a surprise when one of them finds a dead body on their set. Unfortunately for Catherine and Gil, the body was transported off the stage immediately by the circus' manager. He says it was only to protect the performers who work on the dangerous, complex set. Though he doesn't know the victim, he indicates that she was found in what's called "the crush zone" under the stage. As the team works the scene, Catherine luckily finds a monogrammed necklace bearing the initials "AFD." It's not an ID, but she'll settle for anything at this point.

Meanwhile, during a party where Sam Braun is the guest of honor, a young man is found dead in one of the party's cabanas. When Sara and Warrick arrive, it looks like suicide by 38 special, except for the fact that the gun is still in the man's hands. Was it staged? Unfortunately for the coroner, David, who arrives late and flustered after meeting his future in-laws, he accidentally discharges the weapon a second time as he tries to remove it from the victim. "At least we know one person who shot the dead guy," Warrick quips.

Brass talks with Sam, whose party was a celebration for the ground breaking of his new hotel, The Eclipse. The dead man, Robert O’Brien, was an investor in the hotel, and Sam hardly knew him. But he did notice that the last time he saw Robert was as he was going off with his business partner, Joe Hirschoff. Brass and Sara question Joe, who looks shaken. His explanation is a little vague--he went off to get drinks and by the time he came back Robert had shot himself. Brass detects that Joe's on something, which turns out to be alprazolam, for stress. Sara looks concerned when she finds that the guy may have compromised any gunshot residue on his hands by conveniently spilling the drinks on himself when he saw the body.

Back at the morgue, Doc Robbins checks out Cirque's Jane Doe, who has some linear abrasions across her chest and back, as well as numerous broken ribs from being crushed. The crush zone was clearly marked. Was it possible she didn't see it? The doc doesn't think so, since a skull fracture was the cause of death. She was already dead when the stage descended upon her. Robbins and Catherine both notice calluses on the girl's hands and feet--she may have been a dancer. "But if she wasn't part of Cirque, what was she doing there?" Catherine wonders.

When Hodges identifies TRACE EVIDENCE of foam used in floral arrangements on the victim's clothing, Gil connects that to a security guard who escorted a woman delivering flowers to the green room. Reviewing the security tapes, Nick, Gil and Greg watch footage of the Jane Doe and another unidentified man creeping around backstage. The Jane drops her purse over a railing. If they can find it, they might get an ID.

Poor David's bad day continues--he forgot to tape up the bullet wounds, and Robert O’Brien bled out in the body bag. Worse than that, any GSR is now corrupted. Meanwhile, Warrick tests the gun with a SPECKFINDER and BORESCOPE before dusting for prints. Doc Robbins checks out stomach contents, and blood tox reveals the presence of alprazolam and a BAC of .19, which is way beyond the legal limit. Strangely, there were sesame seeds found under the victim's tongue. Sara notes, "It's hard to swallow when there's a gun in your mouth."

Grissom and Sara exchange furtive smiles as he drops off dinner for her in the break room, but Warrick is oblivious. Instead, he focuses on sesame seeds found in the cone of the gun, just like they were found in Robert O’Brien's mouth. He's again surprised when Sara discovers more seeds in, of all things, a single oven mitt found in the dead man's luggage.

The gun used in the crime is found to be registered to Joe Hirschoff, who had previously professed to hate guns. His explanation: he's a "white kid from a small town." Brass reveals that he knows Joe's in massive debt--over a million dollars--a debt that can be cleared up now that he's inheriting Robert's shares in The Eclipse. Joe stonewalls Brass about why his alprazolam was found in Robert's bloodstream by asking for a lawyer.

Nick returns to Cirque with Sofia to find the woman's purse, sifting through piles of the set's ground cork to find it. He finally scores a hit and identifies her as Celia Noel of Wisconsin. She had tickets to every Cirque du Soleil show in town. Too bad her monogram doesn't match that of the necklace Catherine found.

Back at the lab, he and Catherine figure out that Celia's necklace was for the Arcadia Federation of Dance, and that one of the Cirque tickets was purchased on the credit card of Arnie Clifton, a young man who looks remarkably like the unidentified man on the security tapes with Celia. Nick and Sofia question the man at his place of work--a high end shoe store--and he says he went out with Celia once to the show, and that's it. Nick spots a distinctive piece of cork in the man's shoe, which ties him to the scene. Downtown, when Sofia leans on him harder, he cops to being backstage but swears it wasn't his fault. Celia just kept getting closer and closer to the set, and when a level descended, it clipped her on the head. She fell, and he took off.

Hodges and Warrick spray Robert's oven mitt with FERROTRACE. Though they find the outline of the gun inside it, they still don't know who brought it to the party, or why. Warrick finds even more seeds in the victim's pants pocket, which leads Sara to believe it was suicide after all--Robert brought the gun to the party himself and used it. He also had a condition called Dupuytren's contracture, which contracted the tendons in his hands, explaining why he wasn't able to drop the gun after he used it.

Sara returns Robert's bagged belongings to Joe, who extracts a ring and places it on his own finger with a matching one. Sara suddenly realizes that Joe has lost his partner in more than just business. "I'm sorry for your loss," she says quietly. Too little too late, as far as Joe's concerned. He walks away without acknowledging her.

Brass has fully recovered from his gunshot wound of a few months ago, and the sheriff tries to convince him to accept a commendation for his courageous actions. Brass is not enthusiastic; in fact, he's downright unhappy about it. However, he appears on television with the sheriff to accept it, looking extremely uncomfortable. When Warrick asks to see Brass's commendation, Brass feels it's nothing but a reminder of his greatest mistake, and he files it in away in a drawer out of sight. However, he does mark the significance of his shooting later, in a tattoo parlor, by adding the date of his near-miss directly below the bullet scar.

Nick and Catherine head out to a bar to unwind, listening to John Mayer as he serenades the crowd from the stage. After sharing a dance together, Nick spots a girl he knows and Catherine takes a seat at the bar. The bartender says a man across the room has offered to buy her a drink, but she turns it down. However, as she sips from her glass, something's definitely not right. The room clouds over and spins, and Nick doesn't realize something's wrong as he leaves the bar with his friend.

Meanwhile, Sofia and Gil are called to a scene unlike anything they've ever witnessed. A man sits at a breakfast table, food untouched, head down on the table and blood pooled around him. We pull back from that scene and realize it's an exact reproduction of a scene in a dollhouse, found inside that same room. "The detail is…impressive. And terrifying," Gil says. He doesn't know what to make of it. He photographs everything in sight, awestruck at the attention to detail this killer has paid to matching the real with the diorama.

Time passes. How much? Catherine awakens in a crummy hotel room, alone and naked in a bed. What's happened to her? Her credit cards and license are intact, and everything's in her purse, but she has no idea how she got there. She's freaked and calls the crime lab, only to hang up the phone after someone answers. She makes the decision to work the scene herself, bagging evidence from under her fingernails in a shower cap. A tampon stands in as a makeshift rape kit, the terror and uncertainty showing on Catherine's face as she takes the sample. Finally she showers, trying to wash the grime of the night away, only to break down in tears as the water cascades down her face.
