Here's yet another good episode, one that starts off with a mystery of where it's going but we find out this is all about kidnapping girls ("human trafficking") for slave (sex) purposes. Despite the premise, it's not a sordid story but a typical CSI mystery for most of it as the gang tries to figure out who got stabbed to death at the beginning of the show.
It turns out he's from the Ukraine and he's here in New York to find his missing daughter. As usual, one clue leads to another and another, etc., until we figure out what the main crime happens to be, and who's in on it. There is a real sadness to some of this as desperate parents are worried sick over their missing daughters, not just the man who was killed.
On a lighter note, it's interesting to see Julia Ormand enter this CSI spin off as "Deputy Inspector Gillian Whitford." Her character was introduced a few episodes ago. I'll always remember Ormand as the beautiful heroine "Guinevere" in the 1995 film, "First Knight," starring her and Richard Gere. A British actress, shoe does a fine American accent in here. She's a 46-year-old now and lost the youthful beauty but she's still a pretty woman and a good addition. (Note: after looking up her profile here on IMDb I was sorry to discover she only was in one more CSI: New York episode. Too bad; I'd like to have seen her become a regular on this program.)
