Catherine steps into the lab. Mia Dickerson, working at the table, looks up.) Catherine: Hi. Mia Dickerson: Hey. (Catherine takes the two swab boxes out of the plastic bag and holds them out for Mia.) Catherine: Husband and wife got into it. Mia Dickerson: Hmm. (Mia takes the swabs from Catherine.) Mia Dickerson: Hmm. What set them off? Catherine: She caught him with a hooker in their bed. She cut him. He killed her. Mia Dickerson: What about the hooker? Catherine: She grabbed his wallet and took off. I caught the guy just sitting on a curb. I swabbed his hands for blood spatter. Mia Dickerson: I am super backed up. Can this wait till tomorrow? Catherine: (shrugs) He's not going anywhere. Thanks, Mia. (Catherine turns, walks out of the lab and into the hallway.) (She sees Warrick and Nick turn the corner talking with each other.) Nick: Yeah... (She joins them, putting an arm around each of them.) Catherine: Oh, hey, guys. I could really use a drink. You want to join me? I'm buying. Warrick: I'd love a drink, but we made plans, though. Catherine: You did? Warrick: Tomorrow. Nick: Rain check. Catherine: All right. Nick: Rain check. (Nick and Warrick both continue down the hallway, leaving Catherine alone.) Catherine: (sighs) Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] [EXT.

SUMMARY:
After an exhaustive day, Catherine stops by a bar where she is chatted up by another customer (played by Marg Helgenberger's real-life husband Alan Rosenberg). As she is leaving, he gives her his number on the bar's match box and lashes out when she doesn't want to kiss him. Later on that night, Grissom calls her in for a favor, as he is short on staff. A woman has been murdered and prior to her death, she was seen with the same man who was hitting on Catherine in the same bar. A similar match box with a phone number inside, found on the victim, further points to this man as the main suspect.
