Dr. Sid Hammerback (Robert Joy) tells Hawkes his victim died of blunt force trauma, a serious blow to the head. There was grit on her stomach which yielded a tongue print. The two doctors figure out she used her stomach as a tequila glass. A design on her mouth is LSD from a blotter of paper.
Danny takes DNA and a fist print, which show he was telling the truth. Adam Ross (A.J. Benchley) ties the blood trail to a Adam Rome. Upon questioning, he says he is a private bodyguard as is another man. Between the two of them, the dead woman and her best friend are under close protection. Rome, too, was not the killer.
With me so far? It gets even more confusing when Peyton has to process a dead woman who died in the Hudson River before Stella and Mac started their case. The diagnosis is suicide by drowning. Hey, I reviewed this show all last season and I had problems following along myself.
Back at the lab, Lindsay tells Mac and Stella the girlfriend was telling the truth about the spider bite. The patch has components used in dynamite. With dynamite traces found at the crime scene, it should be an open-and-shut case. She is told to keep digging further, as the evidence is not solid.
Messer and Angell question the second body guard, who says his clients have free rein to tell him what they want and he is obligated to do it. Since the bar only sells martinis, the tequila shot occurred somewhere else.
Mac and Stella go to a strip club, where they find a pregnant stripper who tells them she is carrying McFarland's baby. She turned down his proposal since he tried to give her a sizable check for walking away from him. She, too, denies any guilt.
Lindsay proves her correct when she examines the tie McFarland was wearing. In Mac's office, she demonstrates the manner in which the tie was knotted was affectionate. What a delight to see Anna and Gary interact! With this scene, it reminded me they were both married, and happily. (Not that Gary minds the attention) Lucky ladies! Melina got to play on Gary Sinise's chest when they investigated a murder of live-in livers ("Stealing Home"?). Where can I apply to be on Taylor's team?

Mac's magic hands might be lethal weapons, but he can also use them for love.

Of course. his reaction to Danny in tears during "Run Silent Run Deep" proved that. For me, it was a visual thing and I reacted. Several members have a military background.
