A fun moment was watching these two characters interact. She told Flack he had nice eyes, for which he thanked her. He doesn't tell her whether or not he has a girlfriend, but promises to work out a deal if she helps the investigation. When she tries to determine if he is telling the truth, he says, "Would these eyes lie?" (and gorgeous green ones they are, too).
Based on what she says, Flack and Taylor go to the area where she says she tossed the gun. A man is outside the townhomes, and Mac recognizes him as the doctor whose patient needed the liver. The doctor notices the two cops, and takes off. Bad idea, since they place him under arrest.
In the lab, Danny lifts a piece of rubberized metal from the duct tape which bound the hands of the helicopter pilot. Some further work shows him that it comes from a Mercedes.
The doctor tells Mac his wife needed a liver, so he arranged for one to be stolen when it became available. Mac points out his wife being lower on the transplant list gave the couple time to spend together, and now she will have to die alone.
Lindsay finds out that the analysis of semen samples on the dead woman's body indicates another man who met their victim in the alley the night she was killed. The person's name, however, is a surprise: it was the rapist Aiden Burns had been trying to arrest a year ago .
This episode was appealing on many levels. Not only was there a story which dominated most of the show, the writers made sure I would watch again by tying a current murder case with a previous investigation. The flashbacks with Aiden were a nice touch. She was a part of the story without actually being part of the crime team. Danny and Flack make a good team, two New York cops who are professional with no small amount of edge. Hawkes is learning just what it takes to be an investigator.

Nice review--made me want to catch this episode when it shows up again in reruns.

That may be a while. If the info on the Web is accurate, the next show is the season finale.

Canceled, and low ratings, because it too dark and gloomy(compared to original CSI)? I watched it at the start and it seemed that way, but I mostly stopped watching because I usually only watch one show in a franchise (CSI Las Vegas, original Law and Order, etc.)

Gordon-
Season, not series finale. From what I have read, it will have a third season. This is a show which may be in reruns for a bit until the time is right for the end of Season 2 to be shown.

The one sisters gets away because she was in the kitchen getting some water
