Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDetective Scotty Valens (Danny Pino) crosses over from the CBS show Cold Case (2003) which is also produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It marks the first crossover appearance by a character outside of the CSI franchise.
- GoofsIt is revealed that Stella's DNA triggered a hit on an unsolved cold case. However, department policy for both the CSI universe AND real life crime labs in the US and elsewhere, requires lab technicians to supply both DNA and fingerprint samples. This means Stella's DNA would already have been matched to the case before the events in this episode.
- Quotes
Detective Lindsay Monroe: What about this website. It's encouraging kids to hurt themselves. That can't be legal.
Detective Mac Taylor: Contests aren't against the law. Neither is stupidity or bad judgement.

Well, we find out fairly soon that the woman, and the "angel" who died were just internet stunt freaks, like Jackass type idiots who got injured doing dumb things. However, the guy with the angel wings was drunk and more importantly, was murdered as his bungee cord that was attached to the wings, was cut.
There are all kinds of stories in this episode which really involves as "cold case" from 10 years ago in Philadelphia. (Apparently this episode tied into a "Cold Case" one - another CBS crime show.)
It was interesting to see Mykelti Williamson, one of the stars of "Boomtown," a great show that NBC cancelled a few years ago, and a guy I've seen in several films over the years. He plays the chief of detectives here, "Brigham Sinclair," a guy working with Mac's nasty new boss, "Inspector Stanton Gerrard."
Both Stella and Mac, for much of this show, are innocent people being subjected to all kinds of baloney and they aren't happy about it. Gary Sinise is good at playing a ticked-off guy, I guess something he honed in his strange character in the movie "Forrest Gump."
Stella has to go back to her childhood "blood sister" to solve her case and Mac has to keep dealing with a recent case that not only has his superiors on his case but one his workers - Don Flack, too. In real life, I wonder if this guy would be in trouble for the way he has been talking to his boss, but "Mac" seems to put us all this flack from Flack. Maybe Eddie Cahill is going to leave the show. It almost looks like he's headed off the way he's been acting. I remember that happened to Vanessa Ferlito's character "Aiden" after the first CSI-NY season.
In all, this episode was a little too complicated in spots, at least in Stella's "case." The bungee jumper was a guy who wanted to be famous and known as the "human slingshot." Unfortunately, his plan was a little bit flawed!
