When several prominent poker players lose their lives, the CSI team is called to investigate before more victims surface.

Well, that was way over the top, but I enjoyed Brass being snarky and Henry Ian Cusick being ridiculous.

I admit to not paying the utmost attention to this episode, but how the heck did she get a war hammer into that room without anyone noticing? And she managed to become some awesome assassin how, exactly? It didn't seem to have been that long ago that she found out about the cheating.

Wow, I think I got hurt from all the twisted ways the show connected the case to the personal lives of the CSIs. Which again, I do not care about. Could we just have a case without the personal angle? Pretty please.

Best line of the night was DB asking Greg if he kept the history of the black books next to his bed. Greg's reply "No on my Ipad." bwaahahahahaha. I love Greg's history of Vegas quirk. I like the background sometimes.

But, are they going there again with Morgan and Greg? His anguished "Morgan!" after the shot was fired was over the top. Just stop. No personal lives. And Greg can do better than that messed up tramp anyway.

Usually I'm just grateful that the Shue-beast isn't devouring the episode but last night's offering was just plain stupid. Death by playing card and poleax? Quirky can be fun and good; this was way beyond quirky. The story threads were too frayed to be even CSI believable.

Except for David Cassidy's character and the woman poker player, I lost track of the various victims' names. I only connected them when they mentioned the four of clubs or the chicken hearts or something. I'm not too interested in the CSIs' private lives, but I am kind of interested in seeing how having whatshisname as sheriff will play out. However, I could have lived the rest of my life without seeing the closeups of the headless body and the severed head's neck. Those images were a little too high on my 'ick meter'.

I was so glad to see Brass in last nights episode! I suddenly realized what was missing from last week's crapfest. Where was Brass?

I remarked during the show that they seemed to be in a pattern of "the female character we didn't suspect turned out to be the murderer" (the tennis pro and the singer) and then damned if the female character we didn't suspect turned out to be the murderer...kind of like the kick they were on a while back of "the kid did it."

Good grief! I didn't even realize that was David Cassidy!

I can certainly see how someone who feels they were wronged might want revenge, but it should only be taken against the people who did the wrong...killing the daughter of one of the cheaters was just wrong.

You know, I believed the first time they said there were chicken hearts. They didn't have to keep shoving them in my face all the time. ugh

That was about the stupidest episode of CSI I've ever seen. And Morgan's makeup was so ridiculously clown-like it took me out of every scene she was in.

Seriously. Why so much, why so badly applied and blended? aren't the makeup folks on the show PROFESSIONALS? it's nuts the way they have her done up. She's young and doesn't need all that crap, and it does indeed look clownlike and distracts from her performance. Even if the actress had some awful skin condition they were trying to hide...that mask is not the answer.

Am I crazy or were there also a couple of continuity errors in this one? When they were describing the woman walking David Cassidy to his hotel, they talked about her as "a woman in a purple dress" and I thought I'd missed something. But no, she was wearing a red dress. Then after Morgan shot the magician's assistant, she was starting to say something about never having had to do that before (she did not finish her sentence but I thought that was the implication). Just last week, I watched "CSI Down" where she shot a guy to death but I guess that was forgotten. There were aspects of this one I enjoyed but overall, sloppy writing and ham-handed plotting.

Thank you! I knew there was something wrong when Morgan said that in this episode, but figured I was misremembering.

I think the implication is that the assistant was actually a master magician, held back by a glass ceiling (like in poker, but not the CSIs). But the story never played that to anything.
