The specter of serial killer Paul Millander once more intersects with the CSIs, as a former family neighborhood finds unwelcome buyers in the face of the economic downturn. When murders ensue, Millander's adopted son comes under suspicion. Meanwhile, Al and Ray deal with the mysterious case of someone whose internal organs were tied in a knot... without being removed.

Episode Quotes
 
(looking at the insides of a corpse)
Ray: What the hell is that?
Al: This didn't occur naturally...
Ray: Well, what tipped you off, the two half-hitches or the bow?
Al: No, the fact that the small intestine is tied around the spleen. It's red and green and looks like a Christmas present.
Catherine: (coming in with the file) Right! The case was in backlog pending autopsy. Joseph Bigelow, was found in an alley off of Charleston and Avert. There were no signs of foul play. Typical dead bum case, autopsy was pro-forma. Joseph Bigelow. I've heard that name before.
Ray: I bet you've never seen this before. (shows her the organs tied in a knot)
Catherine: Okay... Not so typical dead bum case. Is that COD?
Al: No. Blood vessels are occluded. He died of natural causes. Myocardial Infarct due to atherosclerosis.
Catherine: I'd have a heart attack, too, if someone did that to me.
Al: Intestines show no signs of vital tissue reaction, no signs of peritonitis.
Ray: He was mutilated post-mortem.
Catherine: So... he died. And then someone cut into him and gift-wrapped his guts?
Al: Only he wasn't cut into. There are no visible incisions on his body.
Ray: One thing's for sure. He didn't do this to himself.
 
David: Sorry I'm late. The freezer is still on the fritz from when those ROC goons tore up the place. It's not like we could hang a "closed" sign on the door or anything.
Nick: Hey, what kind of house has a sign-in board, man?
David: I dunno. Where am I going?
Nick: Ah yeah....yeah, sorry, Super Dave. Follow me.
 
(as they both look into one of the houses bedrooms, which is tricked out with electronic equipment -- lights, cameras, and stuff.)
Nick: I wonder if the bedroom across the hall has a webcam, too?
David: Ahhhuuuuhhhh. I'm pretty sure it does.
Nick: How would you know something like that?
David: (moves in close, speaking in a conspiratorial tone of voice) Nick, can I tell you something personal?
Nick: (curious) Maybe...
David: Mrs. Phillips and I occasionally enjoy a little.... "live stimulation", to get us in the mood. (Nick smiles, still not clear on it) What I am saying is...ah... I am intimately familiar with this particular bedroom. I subscribe to the website.
Nick: Well... try and... maintain your objectivity.

Nick: Ah yeah....yeah, sorry, Super Dave. Follow me.

Super Dave Osborne is a comic spoof character created and played by Bob Einstein. Super Dave is an greedy, incompetent, and narcissistic stuntman who often gets injured when his stunts go horribly wrong. He represents a spoof of Evil Knievel type stunt performers. Since there are two "Davids" in the office (Hodges and Phillips), this is a common workplace affectation to give a nickname to one or both to clearly indicate which one is being spoken to or about when context is unclear.
