Grissom teaches a seminar about four different cases.
Tropes for the episode:
- Accidental Murder: Bizarrely, the victims of the fourth case are subjected to this because one of them tried to use a chainsaw meant for right handed people when he's actually left handed...
- Face Death with Dignity: The victim of the third case, a soldier who returned from war only to get stabbed by a drug junkie, doesn't mind dying because he at least got to see his daughter for the first time.
- The Gambling Addict: The first victim, a bodyguard, was killed by her superstitious boss as he believed she was behind his losing streak in the casino.
- How We Got Here: The Framing Device of the story is of the victims in the morgue telling each other how they each died.
- Til Murder Do Us Part: The second victim was murdered by her husband.
