All the bikers from the bar that were caught leaving by the police are now lined up ready to board an LVPD bus to take them back to the police station. Ray is at the crime scene examining a thick link chain as Hodges and Greg walk into the bar.

Hodges:This is my first time in a biker bar

Ray suggests looking for a murder weapon in the form of a knife, so Hodges tells them he will look in the kitchen, while Greg stays inside to start processing, and Ray goes outside to inspect the motorcycles commenting on how beautiful some of the machines are.

Wendy, Mandy and Hodges are at LVPD collecting fingerprints, nail scraping trace and DNA samples from the many bikers from the biker bar. They all show disgust and distaste and the hygiene of some of the bikers as they carry out their work collecting samples.

Brass is then seen interviewing a few of the biker suspects who have now been processed and are wearing orange overalls, but none of them are saying anything about the murder.

At LVPD Hodges, Wendy & Mandy are still processing the many bikers. Hodges ask a biker for his boots who slips them of and Hodges steps back at the strong odor. Wendy asks a female biker Tanya Charles to open her mouth for a bucal swab but she call's Wendy a *****. Hodges quickly steeping over to them demands that the woman apologize to Wendy, he receives a head butt to the nose in reply.

Hodges:You owe Miss Simm's an apology

Ecklie and Brass are now at the door of the undercover cop about to tell his wife Rita Nettles of his death whilst on an undercover operation. On opening the door Jim recognizes the woman and calls her Rita, as she shows the same reaction to Jim. Inside Ecklie introduces himself then tells her about her husband, she steps forward to Jim who puts his arm around her to comfort her. Mrs Nettles tells them she lost her husband six months ago when he started the undercover operation acting strange and she suspected he was taking drugs when he stole money from her. She tells them she went to LVPD to speak to her husbands captain the night before when her husband was killed, before she walks off into another room.

Ecklie:You gonna tell me how you know her?
Brass:No


Greg & Riley are now back at the bar with a laptop to recreate the scene with all the footprints and bloody hand prints. Then we see Catherine dragging the biker victims girlfriend Tanya Charles into a room in LVPD where Jim Brass is. Tanya seems hyped as she animatedly tells them she made the 911 call from behind the biker bar just after the murder took place. She tells them the barman recieved a call then all non biker members were told to leave the bar. Tanya is then told Ecklie has taken her off the detail (undercover operation) and she demands to speak to Ecklie saying she wont leave the case now, that she owes it to Joey/Jack.

Brass is a LVPD on the phone to Conrad Ecklie as he states there is no need for him to recuse himself from the case having knowing the victims wife. He assures Ecklie that if the situation changes he will let him know otherwise. As he gets off the phone he sees Rita approach his office, they are both a little uncomfortable as they talk
;

Rita:Why didn't you tell me you were a cop?
Brass:What i didn't.......I thought....No...That's not it....
Rita:I told you that i was married.

Now we see Nick outside the biker bar in the parking lot behind his car, the revs of a motorcycle approaching gets his attention as he eyes the black leather clad rider with a black visor on his helmet covering his face. As the biker comes to a stop Nick asks;

Nick;You lost
Ray;(Removes his helmet with a grin) I don't think so


Ray tells Nick he has a theory that one of the bikers that got away the night of the murder must have dumped the knives as they drove off on their bikes, so tell him he is going to take a look. Ray follows what he thinks was the bikers route away from the crime scene, on one road he stops and two columns of bikers ride past him, before they disappear out of site. He sees an alleyway, goes down it and eventually finds a small back pack containing bloody knives.

GSR- Grissom or Sara Comments & references:
No direct reference, but the Ecklie Rita, Brass interview had echoes of the Butterflied & similar one with Lady Heather episode. Plus the end scene was very reminiscent of how Brass and Grissom ended a couple of episodes in the past.

Funny moments:
Is funny when Hodges jumps to Wendy's defence but he receives a headbutt in the face from a female biker.

Eww! moments:
