really happened between she and Lawrence the night he died. And when the
CSIs process Lawrence’s computer, they find evidence that he may have been
having an online fling, further implicating Jessica, especially since
Lawrence’s Instant Message sweetie was a beautiful pseudo, perfect for him
in ways Jessica could never be.
Meanwhile, Catherine is dispatched to investigate an apparent home invasion
robbery turned deadly. As she is processing what she believes to be a clear
and secured crime scene, the suspect, who had secreted himself in the house,
attacks her. Her horror at surviving what other CSIs have not fills her with
