The Nine Circles of Hell
6 December 2023
Russell and Ecklie attend a Black Sabbath show to meet the reporter John Merchiston. He wants to see how the CSIs work and Ecklie wants a positive view of the department in the press. Russell is informed about a dead body and he goes with John to the crime scene. They see a mummified woman in a porn stage of an X-rated producer and Finn notes that she was strangled. While processing the spot, Nick and Finn find a Bible and find a wooden object with a spider inside. Dr. Robbins and David rehydrate the body and reconstruct her face that Ecklie gives to the press. The former stripper and prostitute Angela "Miss Kitty" Banner recognizes the victim as Megan Ramirez, who was a former porn actress and stripper. Now she was a member of the Fellowship of the Fallen Angels in a church run by Brother Larson. She also tells to Russell and Brass that there are other missing girls. When she gives the files to them, Brass notes that one of the missing girls is Ellie, and he calls his ex-wife Nancy saying that Ellie is in Las Vegas. Soon Finn goes to the hospital, where the missing girl Teresa Hill has been in coma for two weeks. Nick and Greg find another missing girl, Chloe Rudolph, and her pimp dead in a freezer and another Bible with a wooden object inside. Russell researches religious themes, and when he sees Dante's Divine Comedy, he examines the pictures of the victims and concludes that each of them is representing the Nine Circles of Hell. The CSIs believe Brother Larson may be the culprit and bring him to the station.

"Skin in the Game" is the last episode of the Thirteenth Season of "CSI" and, as usual in the last episodes, great, to be continued and ending with a cliffhanger. The plot is smart, with the serial-killer basing his murder in the Nine Circles of Hell in Dante's Divine Comedy. The gruesome murders recall the style of "Seven", being dark and grim. The beginning with a Black sabbath's concert is a plus in this show. The ironical answer of Ozzy Osbourne relative to 1986 is hilarious. Now the criminal has Brass' daughter Ellie and Ecklie's daughter Morgan in his possession, and we do not know what might happen. Looking forward to see the sequel. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Skin in the Game"
