    Cold Case

    Sara has a dear friend who is a powerful attorney. She is confined to a wheelchair from a bullet, lodged in her head. It happened during the killing of her husband. The shooter was never found. Sara gets hold of the bullet after a miraculous operation and reopens the case. But a phenomenal discovery is made. The other case involves a peeping Tom whose activities get more and more severe. There is some really good forensics in this offering and that's when the show is at its best.

    The Peeping Tom and the Cold Case

    The Peeping Tom and the Cold Case When Joanne Crooks is assaulted without rape at home, Catherine, Grissom, Nick, Warrick and Capt. Brass assume the investigation. They find fingerprints on the windows and they learn that the criminal is escalating in his crimes. They fear that he soon will rape his victim since this was his first break in. Meanwhile, Sara learns that the paraplegic prosecutor Melissa Winters will be submitted to a surgery of high risk. Three years ago, Winters was shot on the neck in a home invasion where her husband as killed, but the murderer has not been found. Now the bullet has moved and she needs the surgery. Sara decides to reopen the cold case using the bullet withdrawn in the surgery to try to find the criminal.

    "One Hit Wonder" is another great episode of CSI. The case of the peeping Tom is good, but Sara's cold case is better and better. Her disappointment when she finds the truth is sad. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "One Hit Wonder"

    • Goofs
      When Sara is narrating her reconstruction of the shooting to Melissa, she says that her husband "...leaned up from a prone position..." to shoot her. However, in the visually reconstructed scene, the husband is lying on his back - that's supine, not prone. Prone is lying on one's stomach.
