[Spoilers follow ... ]
Everyone working on the same case, just one case, and that's always the most fun. The case, of course, is David Hodges, who has been kidnapped after a false video confession from him has been extorted. That's what we the audience know. The judge is still convinced by the evil Wix. The goal of Sara, Gil, and Maxine is to get the evidence that will convince the judge.
The lead to that evidence is olfactory -- as in perfume, as in scent. Sara and Gil identify the scent and therein the hotel that has it. But when they search it from bottom to top, there's no sign of Hodges. What did they miss? Scents change over time. (We could say, scents are change, just as cents are change.) (Sorry.) But our top-notch CSIs can figure out what the scent was, and therein where Hodges is now. And we get a happy, champagne-popping ending. Sara and Gil celebrate it not with a toast, but a ride on an effervescent roller-coaster.
A strong, concluding episode for the season. And a glimpse of what I hope we'll see next season -- a serial killer. CSI still has spunk and savvy. Its devotion to truth and evidence, to science and reason, is refreshing in this cynical, often lying world of ours, where a former President lies about winning the election, and he and his adherents pretend that a deadly pandemic is no big deal. Right, I sometimes mix politics into my reviews, and I'll be back here for sure with a review of the next season, if there is one, and that's the truth.
