Horatio surveys
Edward Crowley’s bloody body as
Crowley’s sixteen year-old daughter Heather
stares, motionless. Heather
explains to Horatio that she noticed a man’s shadow outside the window
while babysitting twelve year-old Justin Montavo at the luxurious
Montavo home. Heather is
unable to identify the whereabouts of either her mother or the Montavo
family. As Horatio promises
to find Heather’s mother, Detective Tripp discovers Kimberly Crowley’s
dead body on another part of the Montavo’s expansive lawn.
Alexx
probes Kimberly’s punctured neck while Wolfe examines the murder weapon,
a bloody garden tool. Delko
tests Heather’s hands for blood.
Wolfe and Alexx question Delko’s competence.
Natalia and Calleigh determine that Edward was attacked much
earlier than his wife Kimberly; evident by the squashed fly and grass
imbedded in his head wound.
Wolfe and Tripp recover fingerprints belonging to Dr. Mike Lasker from
the Montavo’s windows.
Lasker
tells Horatio that he was trying to retrieve some “stuff” the Montavos
stole from his house. Renee
and Dave Montavo deny stealing from Lasker and explain to Horatio that
the night of the murders they passed out in their car after drinking too
much at a party. Natalia
finds drug residue – specifically GHB, a popular and dangerous party
drug, in glasses from the party the Montavo’s and Lasker attended.
Lasker admits to spiking the Montavo’s drinks.
Wolfe and a Uniform find a bag of Lasker’s property hidden in the
Montavo’s house. Justin
confesses to sneaking out of the house and stealing from Dr. Lasker
while babysitter Heather was busy making out with her boyfriend, Zach
Griffith. Tripp matches
Lasker’s loot to some of his dead patients’ stolen property reports.
Calleigh
tells Delko that he made a rookie mistake and ruined Heather’s initial
evidence test. Delko
redeems himself after testing Zach Griffith’s motorcycle helmet and
determining that it was Edward Crowley’s murder weapon.
Zach admits to hitting Edward Crowley when they argued about Zach
sleeping with Edward’s wife, Kimberly.
Heather confesses to stabbing her mother with the gardening tool
after learning she slept with her boyfriend.
Horatio arrests Dr. Lasker for killing -- and stealing from --
his unsuspecting patients.
