Fracked

This was basically an environmental agenda episodes with a company "fracking" and not being careful enough to monitor the quality of water in the area. People in this small rural area outside Las Vegas are getting sick and are dying from the water. A local editor of a weekly rag is one step away from proving her case printing it in her newspaper.

With two violent deaths come investigations from the CSI team as they try and put two-and-two together on what or who is causing these deaths and why these people died. It appears they were about to blow the whistle on this company which was poisoning the local water supply.

Along the way, we learn what the term "fracking" means.....if CSI had that correct.

Overall, however, as what happens when you bring an agenda to the table, it gets overwrought with the points you are trying to make. How they handled the character of the newspaper editor, and Ray Langston's responses to her, is Exhibit A.
