CSI 2×23: The Hunger Artist
Season Finale. The CSIs investigate when the body of an unidentified young woman is discovered stuffed in an overturned shopping cart near a freeway underpass. Her horribly disfigured and partially decomposed face is a nightmare of blood, scabs and scars, as if she’d been shoved into a fan. A huge circular hole dominates her left cheek. Someone not only wanted her dead, Grissom reasons, but “they wanted her ugly.” Adding to the mystery are the cart’s other contents: an expensive handbag, fashion magazines and a leather day planner with notes written in code.

CSI 2×18: Chasing the Bus
A bus carrying 23 passengers from Los Angeles to Las Vegas crashes less than 40 miles from its destination, killing nine people.

When the bus finally did come to a stop, it was on its right side on top of a sports car that was following it. At the scene, the CSIs discover that a recent parolee was on the bus, but is now unaccounted for—and that there’s evidence of foul play.
