Fun and Games: Episode Ratings: What's Eating Gilbert Grissom?

What's Eating Gilbert Grissom? Rating 70 As the CSI team investigates the multiple murders on the WLVU college campus, they realize that the murders took place on the two-year anniversary of the execution of John Mathers, a man found guilty of murdering a woman in the same manner as these new victims at this college campus. The main clue tying four murders together is the blue paint found on all the victims' hands. The killer fooled the CSI team two years ago, when another murder took place the night of John Mathers' execution, and Grissom and team are determined to not let that happen again.
Catherine: "Oil-based blue paint mixed with motor oil." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Gil: "He's back." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Gil: "Why didn't Nick find this before?" picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Catherine: "Because he was working from a schematic that campus security gave him. The railings not on here. This cement is fresh." Gil: "So now he's not just painting railings; he's installing them. We're going to need to dig this up. Cement and all." Catherine (to off-scrren officer): "Call Brass." Gil: So, he knew we would find this. And now he's taunting us." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Gil and Catherine are silently processing a blow-up sex doll together. picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Catherine discovers a piece of paper in the mouth and pulls it out, opening it for them to examine. On the paper is written: "I have her." Included in the paper is a long hair. picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Catherine: "Two years ago, DNA confirmed a hair planted on Debbie Reston belonged to the serials first victim, Janet Kent." Gil: "Planted hairs. It's part of his signature." Catherine: "Well, DNA confirmed that the hair found in the doll's mouth belonged to Debbie Reston." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Gil: "I tested the note with ESDA because I saw some impressions on the paper." Warrick: "He must have written 'I have her' on an underlying page." Catherine: "Prior evidence indicated that the suspect is an artist or has some connection to the University's Art Department Nick: Serials typically photograph their crime scenes. If were dealing with an artist here maybe he drew his victims instead." Warrick: "Looks like she's in a small room." Gil: "What is that in the foreground?" picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Warrick: "Chair? Sofa?" Catherine: "What about behind her?" Nick: "Window maybe. Can you blow that up?" Catherine: "Some kind of signage?" Gil: "And the lettering's backward." Nick: "Cramped space. Chairs in the foreground but no other furniture. No shutters or curtains on the windows. Maybe it's not a room, maybe it's a vehicle?" Catherine: "He was in the front seat and he was looking at her through the rearview mirror?" Gil: "So he can attack her, abduct her, rape her, and strangle her. But he can't look directly at her?" Warrick: "Guys those black trilobal fibers that we found on Debbie Reston's body are from a Chevy. And the size and shape of those windows are consistent with a Chevy van." Nick: "I recognize the signage. The Erotica boutique on Tropicana. It's distinctive. The font." Gil: "So, this is where he brought them." Catherine: "Well, the pump was probably for the doll. Beer bottles... Tell Mia to check them for saliva as well as other bodily fluids." Nick: "You're thinking she was raped with a foreign object. May be why we never found semen." Brass: "The police on the campus probably interrupted his plans for disposal." Catherine: "I'll take the girl." Nick: "I'll take the van." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Sara: "Well, the prints on the comb bindings from the comic books are a match to the prints found in the van and the garbage bag that Debbie Reston was in." Gil: "Did you analyze the comics?" Sara: "Yeah, the drawing indicate a dominate disassociative sexual sadist." Nick: "Prison shrink diagnosed Mathers as a psychopath with a dependent personality disorder." Sara: "Which means he was predisposed to violent crimes but he might have needed some encouragement." Gil: "Well, to invite someone to join you for torture and murder would require a great deal of trust. You would only do it if you knew you could completely control your partner." Catherine: "Mathers was the submissive. His partner was the alpha-male." Gil: "Sexual sadism can go hand in hand with sexual dysfunction. Mathers said that he wasn't the killer, but we confirmed he had sex with Charlene Roth based on the fact that we found his pubic hair on her body." Catherine: "Mia was looking for saliva on the beer bottles from the van and found a vaginal contribution on the neck of them." Nick: "Maybe Mathers was this guys surrogate penis." Catherine: "Question. The partner kills on the eve of Mathers execution and again this week, on the second anniversary. Why the no show last year?" Gil: "Maybe life got in the way." Hodges: "Nick that powder in the back of the van was ink. A toner made exclusively for commercial copy machines. OCE 3600" Nick: "Okay. Thanks Hodges." Catherine: "The most recent victim went to the Campus Copy Union with her roommate on the day she disappeared. Janet Kent's pocket contents, a receipt from WLVU Copy Union. In Debbie Reston's back seat...catelogues with combed bindings." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Catherine: "A paint mixer." Gil: "WLVU Blue." Catherine: "So he mixed his own paint so we couldn't trace the origin of his purchase?" Answering machine: "Las Vegas's finest. Nice job. Impressive turnout. Have a look around. I'll be here at the station waiting for you." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Catherine: "There's a sixth victim. A Brit or Britney Mosscoe. Her name was on a ziplock bag in Greer's freezer. It contained a lock of hair. Sara is looking into missing persons and Mia is running it through DNA." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Gil: "Thanks." picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Catherine (on phone): "Slow down. Okay. Okay. I got it." She hangs up the phone and looks at Gil and Brass. "The sixth victim is a ruse. He drew her off of a calendar. Brit Mosscoe is an anagram for Miss October." Gil: "So where's he taking us?" picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller They walk into the men's room. Brass: "Mr. Greer, let's go. Come on. Mr. Greer. Where is he, in there? Come on Mr. Greer, let's go!" Brass knocks on the stall door and it swings open. Revealing Mr. Greer with a black bad over his face. Gil: "Damn it." They rip the plastic off his face and pull him out of the stall and Gil starts CPR on him, as Catherine walks into the room. picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller Brass: "Get a paramedic. Get an EMT in here!" picture courtesy of CSI Storyteller
