IN THE RECORD ROOM
The tapes of Amanda's session in the confessional were carefully visioned, but all they got was the girl beginning to talk and saying that she thought she was going crazy... and then fainting on the couch... and dying.
Then, Nate finding her.
In the meanwhile, Marc filed his report; the victim had been poisoned with Prussic Acid, denoted also by the smell of bitter almonds.
But where could the killer have hidden the poison?
Grissom and Cath were given the news while investigating the crime scene.
They directed their attention on the nebulizer she had for her asthma.
"Bingo." Cath said when in it was found the Acid.
"Doesn't it remember you something?" Grissom said.
"No, why?" Cath answered.
"You remember there was a broken mirror on the floor?" he continued.
"Well, yes." she answered.
"Good. Now remember Agatha Christie."
" 'The mirror crack'd..." she began.
" 'From side to side.' " he continued.
" 'Fate has already decided my destiny...' " Cath began again.
" 'Of Salot the Lady sobbed.' " Grissom finished
"God. It's a ritual. This is not just a killer."
"You're right." Grissom answered. "It's a serial killer. And he's still looking for prey."
