The jurors of a murder case cannot reach a verdict since the stubborn Chris Gibbons insists in questioning the evidence. The jurors argue, one of them opens the window to let some air in and they are locked in the room for two and a half weeks. They wait for their lunch and out of the blue, Chris is dead on the floor. Grissom and Capt. Brass investigate the case, helped then by Catherine, Warrick and Sara. Soon they learn that Chris was allergic and wear a bracelet indicating allergy to penicillin. Further, he seems to have died because his forehead has beaten the edge of the table. Meanwhile, Nick and Det. Louis Vartann receive Faye Minden, who tells that four years ago, she hid evidences of the case of the disappearance of her sister Rita Minden from the CSI and now she wants to tell the truth. She tells to them that Rita's husband Aaron Westonson was cheating her with another woman and Rita surprised them in the barn. Aaron lost his temper and killed Rita, burning her body into ashes in a barrel with gasoline and dumping the ashes into the river. Now Nick reopens the case.
