Extreme

This is an extremely weak episode of CSI Miami. There are two subplots, a kidnapping subplot, which is completely absurd from beginning to end, and the "chop shop" subplot, which makes no sense whatsoever. Eric has raided a chop shop, while he was helping a widow get a new tv, and he got beaten up by a guy who Frank is investigating for a murder... Huh?! Maybe a lot of that subplot was cut for time, I don't know. The main kidnapping subplot has an early role for the excellent Chris Pine. Other highlights in the gloaming are Calleigh's great hairdo and Caruso's customarily bizarre line readings. This is an episode to skip.
