CSI and Without a Trace

This was the one where they piggybacked with Without A Trace. Grissom and Malone spent the whole night trying to prove who was better. I vote Grissom. I like Malone and all, but I like him on Without a Trace. You can not have two leaders, never works.

Anyway, it starts out with a dead kid, Grissom gets on scene to find out that the team has been processing for six hours, but no one has cleared the body. Turns out the boy had an FBI hold on him.

Malone shows up via helicopter to explain that he thinks this may be a missing boy from New York from six years ago. Turns out it's not, but that doesn't stop them from working the case together.

The murderer had left a print and it was the same print found at the kidnapping six years ago. He thought it was his bio son, when he found out otherwise he killed him and buried him in the Arizona desert.

Another similar looking kid gets kidnapped near Vegas, they find out this one is the biological kid of the kidnapper, and they escape to, where else, New York.

Now on WaT, they are looking for the current kidnap victim. They go to the kidnappers old apartment where they find a dead guy in the closet. Kidnapper thinks he's home. They run the phones and find that the kidnapper called a hooker, they find her and she was only hired to make the kid a sandwich.

They link the kidnapper to several murders around the country, find his sister who happens to be wearing all of the dead ladies jewelry. She can't believe that her brother would do such a thing.

They use her to lure the kidnapper to the train yard, he kills himself, but where is the kid? They worry, worry, he's ran to the train yards, the only place his dad/kidnapper felt safe.

Good Grissom can go back to Vegas to be with his lovely, now fiance, Sarah. Then we see on the "Next week on CSI" that Sarah is leaving. Don't tease us, I'll be so mad if this is another "teaching assignment" that they torture us with for a week. I'll be even more upset if they actually have her leave, but hey, she's always had relationship issues.

Journeyman 11/12/07

Dan gets sucked into a 1974 key party with a 2004 bottle of wine, a very expensive one he bought for Kate's birthday. Apparently the most exciting thing at the key party was the live news on Nixon. The hosts of the key party had a surprise visit from their college aged daughter, Abby, who sees her mom hooking up with one of the neighbors, this throws the daughter into a tailspin. When Dan returns to 2007 he "googles" her and finds that she's been missing for 30 years.

(side note about key parties for those of you who don't want too much tv. Key parties happened in the 70's where the guys would put their keys in a bowl at the beginning of the party and the girls would go pick keys and go home with whomever they belonged to.)

We see Kate at a bar with her friends who inform her that the workplace is where most husbands stray, she defends Dan and says they are staying in for a nice dinner that he's cooking.

Dan wakes up on a beach in 1974, he wakes up just in time to see the daughter with a flat tire, about to get help from the man they believe to have abducted her. Dan steps in and the truck drives off. Discovering she has no spare, Abby decides to hitch it. Up drive some hippies and she drives off with them.

When Dan returns and "googles" her again, he cannot find any information on her, so he calls her parents only to find that she's no longer missing, she's been in prison for 30 years.

Jack is trying to backtrack his statement to the FBI, but they proceed with a warrant to search Dan and Kate's house. Dan is leaving for work and protesting that his bag is separate from the warrant, not knowing Kate had taken the money and put it in his jacket already, they search the bag and let him go. As soon as he walks out the door he finds himself in a 1974 diner with Livia. Abby's hippie friends are next to them, and they are now calling her Angela. They begin a conversation with the hippies and explain that they are time travelers from 2007. The hippies think that it's soo cool. On their way out Angela grabs some money off of a table and Dan prevents the diner owner from shooting her.

While cleaning up from the FBI search Kate finds a picture of Livia that looks like it's from the 40's. She shares this information with Dan, who is at work. They run into Dan's boss who wants to know why the FBI is poking around. Dan tells Kate he's "got to go" but the boss won't let him slip away, so Kate distracts the boss and Dan vanishes back to a 1974 liquor store that is being robbed. Angela has got a shotgun pointed at Dan, Livia and Dan have the conversation about when she is. Turns out Livia travels to the future, Dan travels to the past. She got stuck in the 80's and 90's where they originally met. Oh yeah, we're here to prevent Abby from going to prison. Abby it's time to leave, her boyfriend is mad, Dan throws around some hijacking money and Abby leaves out the back door. We hear sirens approaching, and Dan and Livia make a run for it while the other hippies clean out the register. Dan returns to 2007 and feels compelled to buy a paper. Abby Armstrong is a politician and quite a successful one at that.

Jack gets called back to the FBI. He appears clean but some evidence of his had been tampered with. Remembering a couple of episodes ago when Jack took a statement from a 1995 cabbie who was paid in 2004 money, the suspect never caught but had the physical description of Dan.

Jack goes to Dan and Kate's to talk, Dan yells at Jack saying "you didn't believe me when I told you so get out." Jack leaves to drink alone, and spends an overly faded 20, from 2004. Dan tells Kate about all the new things he's learned from Livia about time travel.

The professor who's an expert on Tachyons, the reason they can time travel, warns Dan not to tell anyone about the "book" he's writing. Telling Dan the FBI took all of his research to fight terrorism. Making us all wonder how the professor is involved in all of this and wondering how he affected Livia in 1948.
