Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper) tells Mac his phone is now ringing earlier than the mysterious calls tend to arrive. Maybe it's important? He doesn't know about what was in the suitcase in Mac's office.

First things first. This case has not concluded, so commentary will have to be held until the end when I have all pieces. I will say this: this episode was cooooooool! Bringing the virtual world into the mundane world of a crime lab is brilliance personified. For a special treat, there's interactive fun at CBS's website.

This technique has been used before when Stella started to find out just how twisted Frankie Mala was ("Hung Out to Dry"). BUT, the video attached to the link was a promo for the next episode. Racy? A little. Too intense for my taste. On that note, will Stella go out with Drew already? The stuff he sends do not lead to an adventure, just too short clips which are a jarring note to everything else. Okay, the chat with Mac worked ("You Only Die Once"). Drew's background is clean, so what's the problem here?

AJ Buckley did a really good job. Seeing him and Mac together reminded me of a close father and son relationship. Considering Adam's father was a bully, he needs male role models ("Some Buried Bones"). One question: why a "special guest star"? The title refers to someone who did the network a favor by showing up. Kid Rock on this show is a good example, or Glenn Close on Will and Grace.

Oh, will Peyton Driscoll (Claire Forlani) "show up" as Mac's mystery caller? I cannot believe she wouldn't leave a message, but anything's possible.
