The Head and the Shooting
claudio_carvalho21 June 2023
During a final of a bowling match, a severed head comes back instead of the ball, and the victim is identified as Ronald Tobin, who worked in the bowling alley. Brass, Catherine, Nick, Greg and Sara work in the case, collecting evidences and interviewing Ronald's girlfriend Shea and acquaintances, including a homeless guy that is sleeping in his trunk. Meanwhile, the inmate Carla York commits suicide and hangs herself in the cell. Langston learns that Carla had always claimed that she was innocent in the shooting of her husband, James, who was killed with a gunshot to his head. Langston decides to reopen and re-investigate her case.

"Lover's Lanes" is a reasonable episode of "CSI". The case of the severed head in the bowling match is strange. There is no good explanation why the killer sawed the head from the body and throw it back in the match. If the head was hidden with the body, probably nobody would know that Ronald Tobin was dead. The second investigation of the man shot in the head is good, but difficult to believe that Langston would be successful in reopening a closed case with the great backlog the team has. My vote is seven.

The Bowling Episode
Hitchcoc6 March 2021
When a dismembered head comes down the ball return during a serious bowling match, everything gets set in motion. Where's the body? How did it get into the mechanism? Who had a motive? Yada yada yada! There are so many impossibilities in the episode it's laughable. A more believable event involves the shooting of an abusive husband. By the way. I don't think an irregularly shaped human head would make it from the machine to the rack. Too light! It doesn't roll. Couldn't get past that.
