Miniature killer csi which episodes

She must find out who it is who wants her dead in a case where nothing is as it seems. This episode marks Catherine Willows's departure from the main cast of the show. Her farewell is an emotional one, as to this point she had been one of the last remaining members of the original cast. She does show up for the two-part series finale, "Immortality". Though this episode aired in the shows declining years, it still managed to be a fan favorite. Crimes involving children are considered especially horrible, so episodes of crime dramas focusing on children are sometimes some of the most compelling.

In "Gum Drops" , the team investigates a bloody murder in a small house on the outskirts of town. While at first, it seems that the entire family has been killed, Stokes has a hunch that the youngest daughter Ellie is still alive. The episode is named after the wads of chewed up gum that Ellie leaves as clues. The girl's cleverness eventually leads to the team finding and rescuing her from her captors. Another danger of television law enforcement is that you may eventually become the target of the killer that you have been hunting.

Captured and left in a death trap, the team must race to find their friend before she becomes the murderer's latest victim. Another memorable season finale, this episode features some of the most striking imagery in the series.

From the shot of Sarah's hand reaching out from an overturned car, or the killer slashing Grissom's throat in a hallucination, there are some memorable scenes in this episode. Penny Garden. In "Post Mortem", an old woman named Penny Garden was found dead, lying in the window of her living room. It was revealed that he was dying of cancer, and heavy drugs. The drug was not found on the scene, leading the Grissom team to assume that drug stealing is a murder motive.

This led to the suspicion that penny was reformed-the addict of the nephew was the murderer. However, this theory was set aside when the niece brought a miniature model depicting the scene of the murder, which seemed to be delivered as soon as CSI left the scene. After Penny's autopsy revealed that he had ingested a lethal fluid nicotine, Grissom and his team noted that there was a glue on Penny's back model, and in the chair he was sitting on.

This led them to believe that the assassin had assumed that Penny would die in her seat from her toxic cherry brandy, not expecting her to have a seizure. When Penny stood up with cruelty, the killer revealed herself, who had been hiding behind Penny, and threw Penny to the window. With a miniature that has been made to describe Penny who died in his chair, the killer shows signs of obsessive habits, must improve the model by rearranging to match the actual scene of death before it can be seen by others.

This explains why the miniature was not in place of death as it first happened. The camera from the Penny Garden neighborhood shows Ernie Dell Natalie's foster father bringing a miniature wearing a jacket with a train symbol on the back. When examining the model further, Grissom found the second picture of the bloodstained doll, again hidden. Then in series, the model connects to the other with clues that involve bleach; bleach coupons found on the miniature floor.

Triggers: On October 18, , Penny Garden left a voicemail on the killer answering machine. In the message, Garden told her killer that she fired her for not bleaching grout as she ordered. This command is most likely the trigger that led to the Garden killing.

In the background, one can hear the song "Lollipop Lollipop" By The Chordettes Penny listens before she dies, and her voice pours drinks. Connection: Penny Garden is a member of the same mini-train club as Ernie Dell, and is also connected to Lionel Dell son of biologist Ernie Dell through his neighbor, who sells Penny Garden medicines for Lionel cash for Penny.

Raymundo Suarez. In Locium Motives, Grissom and his team were taken to the murder scene of a janitor, found to be lying the first face in a shallow water basin at a chicken processing factory. The basin, which the CSI studied, is a stun bath, used to paralyze the chickens before killing them by passing an electric current through the water. When Raymundo landed in the water, he became paralyzed long enough to drown. A miniature stun room was found nearby, depicting Raymundo in the position of his death, lying with his first face in the bathroom.

After researching the chicken factory, the team learned that Izzy Delancy, mentioned above, had protested the Public Service Announcement of the factory as part of his 'new leaf' action. When examining the model further, Grissom found the third picture of the bloodstained doll, again hidden. After cross-referencing the workers at the factory, PSA, and murder, Grissom's team found the main suspect: Ernie Dell.

The team soon learned that he was part of the same train club as Penny Garden, which connected him with the three murders. As they ransacked his home, they found an elaborate workshop to create miniature models, including the railway station, which depicts horrific scenes of death and destruction. Ernie confessed to murder before shooting himself in the head. Later in the series, in the episode of Lab Rats, the model is connected with another by the instructions that involve bleach; one barrel of bleach found near stun bath.

Triggers: Natalie states, when asked if Raymundo touched her, that she was there, but most likely caused by the whitening odor she said was in her hands. Monster in the Box starts with Grissom coming back from four weeks off. When he opened the packet sent to his office, he was surprised to find another miniature.

Calling the team immediately, he realized from the pre-dated newspaper in the model that the murder had not happened. On the cover of a mini newspaper there is a fourth picture of the bloody doll.

In miniature, a Caucasian woman is found lying on her back on the couch, with a pillow. On the pillow of his make-up traces, lead CSI to assume that he will be stuck to death with it. After a great hunt for buildings with similar features featured on the model, they found one suitable apartment building. Rushing to the penthouse, they arrived in time to surprise Barbara Tallman, a retired psychotherapist who was about to lie down for her afternoon nap, along with her cat.

Natalie's hair changes position. Christopher finding himself unable to take care of Natalie alone gave her up for adoption a short time later.

She was adopted by Ernie Dell and his wife who had a sizeable number of foster children under their care. Dell died, Ernie gave up care of the children, except for his only biological son, Lionel.

He stayed in touch with Natalie, presumably as they shared a love of miniatures. This is why Natalie decided to make a miniature of each scene with a killed person.

Natalie began killing with her second victim Izzy Delancey. Izzy was a retired, washed-up rock-star who employed Natalie as a cleaning lady sometime before his death by her hands. Izzy was struck on the head from behind with a marble rolling pin while he was having a meal.

Having the miniature model with her, Natalie then sampled some of Izzy's blood and matched the blood pool. As Natalie had not yet become a serial killer, it was believed to be a common murder. Suspects included his wife, ex-wife, nanny and son, but they all were exonerated. Natalie officially became a serial killer when she killed Penny Garden, who was a terminally cancer-ill, retired cocktail waitress. Her connection to Natalie is never revealed and it is mentioned that she had her nephew clean her house sometimes, meaning she wouldn't have to hire a professional cleaner.

Natalie poisoned her favorite liquor with liquid nicotine, intending to have her die of poisoning; however, as a result of the violent seizures that liquid nicotine causes when ingested, Penny Garden went through one of her windows and had her throat almost completely impaled by the broken glass, dying of exsanguination.

Because of this, Natalie brought the miniature back with her, altered it to match the crime scene and had Ernie Dell deliver it to the house, where Penny Garden's nephew later found it.

Natalie struck again when she claimed the life of her third victim, Raymundo Suarez, who worked at the same Mannleigh Chicken processing plant as Ernie Dell. By her account, Raymundo frequently flirted with Natalie whenever she came there. She killed him by knocking him unconscious, placing him in the factory stun bath and activating it, electrocuting him.

Since Ernie was a model train enthusiast and had a bunch of rather morbid miniatures in his house, he became a suspect for the Miniature killings, but was able to counter the evidence against him he had aided Natalie in making the first two miniatures, unaware of their purpose.

Ernie later confronted her about it in private. Natalie admitted to the murders, claiming to have killed Suarez because he wouldn't leave her alone, but didn't elaborate on why she killed Delancey and Garden and promised not to kill again.
