Plot Overview

Marine Corporal Trevor Price was found dead in the woods. Mac and Danny investigated that the body was dragged after he was stabbed. Mac and Danny reconstruct the attack and they found out that after the Marine knocked down the first attacker, the second attacker stabbed him. Donald Flack calls Danny to the hospital. Keith Gale was unconscious in the hospital and his wife Stacey was sitting on the bench. Danny discovered the bruise on her arm. Flack and Danny confronts Stacey about the attack. It was reported that she and Keith were drunk and Keith punched her and she suffered from battered spouse syndrome. The Marine attacked Keith and knocked him down. Stacey thought the marine killed her husband, and she stabbed him with a knife. She was placed under arrest.

Meanwhile, Stella, Sheldon and Lindsay investigated the decomposed body burned beyond recognition in the car. The car belonged to Charles Wright. He explained that his car was stolen. The CSIs think he was lying. As Sheldon reconstructs the face, he received a shock. When Mac arrives back, Sheldon had some devastating news to report. The facial expression of the skull created a disturbing familiar picture. The victim who was torched in the 1993 Cadillac was someone they knew, Aiden Burn. Mac and Stella interrogates Charles Wright and wanted to know why he lied about the car theft. He made a confession that he cheated on his wife and was having an affair of a prostitute. Their thoughts about Charles Wright's lies were wrong when the earprint on the windshield doesn't match to Charles Wright's ear. Mac isn't pleased with the result and thinks it doesn't rule him out. Stella then came up with a thought. She recalled running into Aiden a week earlier. Aiden was working on getting her Private Investigator license and she had a "project" that she had to finish up. Mac agrees and they decided to head for her apartment. Then they discovered what Aiden was up to in the past six months. There were surveillance photos of the man who got her dismissed from CSI; rapist D.J. Pratt. Aiden was obsessed with nailing that guy. Mac discovers that the photos were taken two days earlier. What if Pratt found out that Aiden was stalking him, trying to nail him, and turned the tables. Mac and Stella had no doubt that Pratt was the culprit. But they still don't know why he would do this to Aiden. Then, Stella discovered one of the photos that has a blonde-haired woman. She was in the apartment that Pratt was hired to paint. Now they understand. Aiden saw that the blonde was targeted and chose to stop it before it can happen. But if Pratt knew that Aiden was casing him, he could've used the blonde target as a bait to get Aiden to follow him to an isolated place, where he could savagely turn the tables on her. Charles Wright seems to be right the first time. D.J. Pratt must've stolen the Cadillac with the intention of making it the killing ground. He must've lured Aiden into a trap. Sheldon came up with a match between Aiden's dental impressions and those bitemarks found on the Cadillac armrest. Aiden deliberately left behind the evidence in the car the CSIs need to get a murder conviction. Mac and Stella confronted Pratt in the Interrogation room. They got the booking photos from Aiden. Pratt's left ear is a perfect match to the earprint on the windshield. Another booking photo shows the bitemark on Pratt's right forearm. The bite mark on Pratt's forearm will be a dental match to Aiden's teeth and she left her former CSI colleagues a clue to look for it by biting into the armrest of the Cadillac. She protected the bite mark clue with her head as she was lit on fire. She died being a hero. Pratt was finally placed under arrest.

At the bar, the CSI's toast to Aiden's memory.
