The case kicks off with a striking visual: a young woman found dead and entirely covered in silver chrome paint. The investigation leads the team to a vintage 1947 Packard—a "death car" famously associated with a 1970s mob hit involving a Vegas legend known as "The Vise." Review: A Solid Final Season Entry
The "Packard" itself becomes a character, with the team using modern technology to solve a crime tied to a piece of history.
The connection to a decades-old mob hit adds layers of complexity. Watching the team navigate the family drama involving the children of "The Vise" keeps the pacing tight.
The use of the chrome paint provides that classic CSI macabre aesthetic that the show was known for. It’s visually arresting and sets a high bar for the forensic puzzles that follow.
While some viewers might find the killer’s motive a bit "absurd," according to reviewers on IMDb , the episode remains a strong 7/10 or 8/10 for its interesting investigation and unexpected twists. Community Perspectives
