- A mother loses sight of her daughter Ruthie for a few seconds only later to find that her little girl is now dead at the hand of a pedophile. As the investigation continues, the detectives realize that they are dealing with a serial pedophile.—Ploy P.
- Opening has mothers and their children having fun at a restaurant for kids, games galore. A little girl is having fun at the ball-pen, mother watching her play. She came over to her mother so mom could take her sweater for her, she went back to the pen, ducked down once, and was gone. The five year old was lured away just as she was playing with others. The place was sealed by an employee when the mother could not find her daughter; but by then, it was too late.
Horatio comments, this place is a buffet for these creeps, as he looks at the little victim lying dead on the restroom floor. Detective Bernstein says fifty witnesses, and the comeback by Horatio, saying fifty suspects. The Detective was looking at the restaurant patrons, as was Horatio, all of them huddled along a partition.
The CSI team arrives, Delko, Calleigh, Megan each receive assignments, which include surveillance cameras to be checked, to finger print everyone, including children. Horatio and Megan are in the bathroom where the body lies, Horatio noticing glitter near the victim. The killer cut her hair and he left boy's clothes lying near the body. Horatio speculates it looks like he was planning on disguising her, as though he had planned to take her out of the building, not to kill her there, but something stopped his plan. The suspect used a maintenance cone "out of order" to secure his privacy, closing the washroom door after putting the cone outside the door. There was trace on the male clothes brought in by the suspect. The mother tells Horatio she did not know anybody there. Alexx arrives, checks the little victim over, cause of death unknown, and the murderer took the little girl's underwear. Horatio speaks to the waiting reporters, the perpetrator left a mountain of evidence, and beneath that mountain, lies his grave.
Megan says the blue on her lips tested as candy. Alexx finds a mark on the victim, Megan is taken a print, Horatio is covering the path taken by the killer using the security video, Calleigh is watching by the CSI camera, noticing Horatio is out of view; they find a footprint.
Alexx examines the victim in the lab. She finds cracked ribs, triggering the lungs to fill with blood. He probably got on top of her, cause of death asphyxiation. Toxicology found he gave her barbiturates with her candy. Tests also found antihistamine, she had a cold and was convulsing. She went into anaphylactic shock caused by the barbiturate reaction to the antihistamine. He was not trying to restrain her, he was trying to revive her. Too much force was applied, cracking the ribs, in the effort to revive her. The shock caused him to abandon his original plan and leave.
The single-customer refusing to provide prints is a registered sex offender, Det. Bernstein cuffs him, he leads Horatio to his Caddy, in the trunk there is a child's pull-suitcase. Interrogation of the suspect, Horatio says in prison they kill child molesters before kidnappers and rapists. Suspect was married with child. Suspect was playing with himself before he came into the building. Horatio tells Calleigh he is not the suspect, but he is going back to prison.
Delko is checking prints on the cotton candy paper-holder, there are some, but multiple prints together on the holder. He checks the orange cone for prints, while Speed scrapes glitter from one of the checkered vests from the restaurant. The prints obtained are looking like the guy fell into a blender according to Delko. The shoe prints indicate the shoes are too big for person wearing them. Speed says the suspected killer got in the same way he got out, because the glitter on the vest matches that on the victim, employee vest allowed him access.
Megan and Delko figure this perpetrator has altered his fingers in such a way to alter his prints by cutting his own skin off and put them on different fingers. Megan says if we cut up his prints and reassemble them we can figure out who he is. Delko says like a human jigsaw puzzle. They work on the puzzle helping them to identify the guy, a multiple offender with a record.
The manager providing the security video to Calleigh is interrogated by Horatio, learning the security password was mistakenly in plain sight in the manager's office.
The foot print yields a butterfly residue located in the nearby park. Megan says we got a print match. The match identifies a person living near the park, long criminal record, convicted pedophile. Megan and Horatio go the suspect's house near the park. The house is clear, they enter and begin to process. Conclusion is he does not live there, but he plays there. The house is full of kid's stuff plus porn. Megan is spraying for prints. Horatio finds a vest from the place of the victim. There are photos of missing children publications; Horatio calls them headstones.
The CSI team and police dig up the yard, finding children buried; Horatio was spot on. Horatio calls Alexx to look at a child's body, determining only three-to-four weeks in the grave, concluding, he is not waiting more than a month between kills, likely accelerating kills.
Lab findings reveal blue sugary substance from cotton-candy found on underwear of child buried at house. Results show microscopic crystals of sugar in raw form, not yet heated, used for cotton-candy. The suspect makes the stuff, he likely has his own cotton-candy machine.
Horatio and Speed look for man making and selling his own cotton-candy. They find Stewart with cut fingers and a bagful of kid-place-logo clothes. Horatio interrogates him. We found your stash of porn, you troll for little girls, spraying barbiturates on cotton-candy, then offering to the little girls at places catering to kids.
The pervert is arrested for the last time.
