"Smooth Criminal" is the 14th episode of Season 7 and the 154th overall. It originally aired February 11, 2011.
A hitman shoots two men between the eyes and abducts a woman from the bar they were all in. Sheldon is reunited with an old friend.
Tropes for the episode:
- Blindfolded Trip: Camille is blindfolded before being transported from a bar to another location.
- Bound and Gagged: Camille's kidnapper keeps her tied up, gagged and blindfolded for a good while.
- Hostage Situation: Sheldon's high-school classmate, Camille Jordanson, is abducted and taken to a man's apartment against her will.
- Cut Apart: Flack and his men appear to have found the location where Camille is being held, but when they knock on the door, a Red Herring answers. Then the hitman has Camille open his door...to his building's superintendent.
- It's Personal: Downplayed. As opposed to a case in an earlier season, Sheldon owns up to his relationship to the victim and asks Mac to let him be involved. Mac agrees, albeit a bit reluctantly.
