When an elderly woman is found impaled on jagged shards of glass from an earlier fall through her sitting room window, the CSIs arrive at the scene to find an empty highball liquor glass on the floor. Brass notes that there’s a spare room in the back of the home with an unmade bed. Catherine finds numerous pill bottles in the victim’s bedroom. Brass chats with the young next door neighbor Jason who says a young man had lived with the victim. Dr. Robbins says the victim died from exsanguination, but had a terrible case of cancer. However, the pills Catherine found weren’t for pain. Catherine finds shards of glass with blood on them in the laundry room. Brass speaks with the victim’s tenant who is her nephew. He says he was at the movies when she died. Brass notices track marks on his arms. The lab finds no traces of narcotics in this system and no blood on his clothing. When Archie runs the surveillance tape from the victim’s other neighbor, he notices that Jason is slinging drugs. Meanwhile, Henry, the victim’s nephew, brings a miniature of the crime scene to the lab. Jason confesses that he was buying drugs from the victim. Hodges realizes that the liquor the victim drank before her death was poisoned with liquid nicotine. With a second serial murder on their hands, the team wonders how they will catch their killer.

Meanwhile, Greg goes to court for a coroner’s inquest. A jury is present to judge the death: justifiable, excusable, or criminal. Sofia, Nick, Warrick and Dr. Robbins are questioned. The victim’s family makes comments condemning Greg throughout the proceeding. Nick and Warrick prove that there was no way Greg could have avoided hitting Demitrius even if he wanted to because of his delayed acceleration when he saw Demitrius come at him with the rock. The judge brings up the fact that Greg was drinking before the fight. Greg manages to make the jury believe that he had only one glass and was legally ok to drive. The jury rules that the death is excusable. As Greg exits the courtroom he is served with a civil suit for wrongful death
