*The naked body of a teen boy is found in the desert. Grissom is quick to note the maggots on the body, indicating that the boy has been dead for a while. There's no obvious sign of death, so Grissom has Warrick autopsy one of the maggots and he discovers Jimson weed in the maggot's belly. Bobby Taylor reports his friend Eric missing and identifies the boy's body. He tells Grissom they were at a rave the night Eric disappeared and Warrick is able to identify the DJ playing at the rave by an entrance stamp on the boy's wrist. With Bobby in tow, Grissom and Warrick go to the rave and locate the drug dealer, Ethan, who is well-versed in the language of the law. Grissom wants to bring him down for murder, but the Warrick discovers that the levels of Jimson weed in Eric's system weren't fatal. The sad truth comes out when Grissom discovers a bite on Bobby's arm, which Bobby, who doesn't remember much of the evening due to the drug, assumed was a spider bite. The boys had a bad trip: Eric got overheated and stripped and freaked out while Bobby had an auditory overload and inadvertently smothered Eric to get him to be quiet. Bobby is crushed to discover he killed his friend.
Catherine and Nick are called to a school where Dean Vernon Woods has been bludgeoned to death with a stone by the school founder, Kate Armstrong. She claims that he attacked her and she struck him in self-defense, but the CSIs find multiple holes in her story. Kate struck the man several times, not just once as she initially claimed. A gap in the blood splatter on the walls indicates another person was in the room at the time. Kate claims her friend Julia was simply there to back up her story that Woods was hitting on her, but when the CSIs find another gap in the blood splatter--this one in the shape of a hand on Woods' shirt--they are able to prove Julia held him down while Kate beat him to death. Not satisfied with simply knowing how, Catherine observes the detective questioning Kate and Julia: it turns out they were lovers being blackmailed by Woods, who threatened to expose them. After he kept demanding money from them, they killed him to keep their secret. Meanwhile, Sara works a body dump case and is surprised to find the woman, Stephanie Reyes, was actually buried days ago at a nearby graveyard. When she discovers Stephanie's casket is missing as well, she figures out that the mortuary director has been reusing the coffins from graves--dumping the bodies and reselling the coffins. She demands that he pay for Stephanie to be reburied properly at another cemetery--and then to face charges.
