CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 21 Review: Dying Words

The second Folsom dreaded lastly occurred.

But that did not imply Josh dealt with Jeannette’s homicide effectively on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 21.

After seeing a monitor mark on her arm on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 19, he feared the worst and tracked tailing her. Seeing her seemingly working with a drug vendor on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 20 solely magnified his concern.

But Jeannette did not overdose as Folsom had feared. Instead, she apparently was skimming among the heroin she was serving to to smuggle.

And, not surprisingly, these weren’t individuals with whom an addict needs to be messing. Who are they most probably responsible first when product comes up lacking?

What was heartbreaking was the context given to Josh and Jeannette’s relationship via the flashbacks to these days when his grandfather was dying from mind most cancers.

The message was that, no matter how she ended up, Jeannette was a caring mom when Folsom was rising up. And, as Catherine identified, Jeannette raised a very good man.

Those moments additionally revealed why Josh could not let go of her, nevertheless a lot she might have slipped. He might have turned in Trey on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 18, however he was decided to save lots of Jeannette from herself if solely he might get her to hear.

Folsom’s campaign to save lots of his mom was why Maxine selected to advertise Allie, who was much less skilled but additionally much less distracted by private drama than Josh, to daytime supervisor. A quite prescient alternative by her, wasn’t it?

His off-the-books investigation was why Folsom was lacking in motion when first Serena, then Max, tried to achieve him to present him the unhappy however anticipated information about Jeannette.

Poor Serena blamed herself, fearing that Josh was ducking her calls due to the latest turmoil of their relationship attributable to his going round her throughout his investigation.

Instead, he had been reflecting on his youth on his outdated homestead, the place he found Max’s voicemail about Jeannette.

After he discovered about Jeannette’s homicide, Folsom wanted to step again and belief his squad to search out her assassin.

But identical to he did not belief Serena’s colleagues to trace down these promoting to Jeannette, he refused to listen to Max when she informed him he could not be concerned with the investigation. If solely he had listened to her.

Allie did an admirable job in her first investigation as supervisor. She neatly issued orders to these older and extra skilled than her, and Max and Catherine had been impressed by her take-charge perspective. 

Until now, Allie had been the last word staff participant up till now, absorbing data from everybody she works with. But now she has proven she might demand respect as effectively.

With solely a restricted quantity of proof, the CSIs had been in a position to piece collectively the drug-smuggling operation and its connection to the 2 useless girls.

The different sufferer muled within the medication from China, and Jeannette stashed them in a damaged slot machine.

They additionally got here up with two possible suspects, having one introduced into custody. The solely downside was Max decided the one that they had in custody could not be the killer, and he refused to call his boss. Also, Serena had given the file about the identical two males to Folsom.

They even recognized the drug mastermind and rushed to his tackle on the airport. Only they had been a step behind Josh and his unlikely investigation helper, Trey, whom he had bailed out.

Surrogate brothers Folsom and Trey had variations, however they each cherished Jeannette and wished justice for her.

Trey knew the individuals within the drug recreation who might assist them find the individuals who killed Jeannette.

However, Trey wasn’t delicate. When a dancer did not drug Kahn Schefner, Trey hit him over the pinnacle with a lamp. Whatever works, I assume.

Trey additionally tracked Schefner’s final textual content acquired again to druglord Raphael Taquenio, giving Josh a spot to start out in search of proof. That included a field cutter used to slice open a brick of heroin.

Trey hauled Schefner alongside to be questioned by Folsom, however Schefner feared his boss greater than them.

That’s when Folsom launched into psychological warfare towards him, mendacity down a line on the ground, then strolling behind Schefner and slashing his arm with the field cutter.

He then defined that when the blood pool measured 5 toes throughout, Schefner would die until handled.

Josh appeared to have gone across the bend. Even Trey gave the impression to be shopping for his risk.

Schefner fainted. Folsom woke him as much as clarify the pool was Jeannette’s blood from a pack he had siphoned whereas on the morgue.

Schefer gave up the nickname of Tarquenio’s nephew because the killer.

But as Josh went to chop him free, he observed scratches on his arm, akin to these Jeannette inflicted upon her assassin whereas she struggled. He appeared to assault Schefner, however Josh would not kill him, would he?

By the time the staff reached the airport, Folsom and Trey had been gone and Tarquenio’s workplace was cleaned up apart from the bloody field cutter. And, in fact, Schefner’s corpse in a dumpster.

How might Josh’s staff and Serena suspect him because the assassin? He absolutely did not go away any proof incriminating himself. Someone else, possible Jeannette’s killer or Tarquenio, murdered Schefner. But we’ll have to attend till subsequent season to search out out.

To observe Jeannette’s journey, watch CSI: Vegas on-line.
