The Frank's Dinner is a place where regulars, police officers and CSIs are usual clients. The waitress Eddie, who knows most clients by name, has ended her shift but is afraid to leave the dinner since there is a stalker watching at her on the other side of the street. When two officers are going to talk to him, he vanishes. Nick, Greg and Sara arrive at the dinner to have breakfast and see the place surrounded by cops. Soon they learn that there was a slaughter in the dinner and eight clients including Eddie were killed. The owner, Vincent DeMarcus, was accidentally locked in the freezer during the massacre. The prime suspect is the stalker, Ronald Basderic, well-known by Sara. When a federal agent arrives at the LVPD, one of the victims is identified as a witness protection person, and there is a suspicion of a killing by a cartel. But Finn observes that victims have been moved and the crime scene has been tampered. Who might be the killer?
"Code Blue Plate Special" is one of the best episodes of "CSI". The plot has many twists and many suspects, as usual, that are discarded by the CSI investigators. They mastermind of the murderers is a citizen above suspicion. Sara is disappointed in the end, Ecklie is a character that has grown along the series. My vote is eight.
