Sara and Nick are helping LVPD to patrol the Strip. They arrest a hooker, a travesty, a drug dealer and his client and a man in front of the Olimpia Casino wearing a bloody shirt and with a severed head on his hand. He hits a tourist that tried to catch him on the head with his fake head. While Nick and Officer Kevin Crawford are handcuffing the prankster on the hood of a car, Nick finds a man shot on the back of his head inside the car. The client of the drug dealer, Bobby Reed, is interviewed and released by Officer Crawford. The hooker Chastity is in possession of a stolen credit card. When Brass sees her ring, he interrogates her since it is his engagement ring and Chastity tells him that she bought from Ellie. Finn processes Anthony Pak at the hospital that has allergy and believes the blood used by the prankster might be infected. Greg asks the prankster where he was to contain an epidemic and when Sara sees the locations, she believes his partner might have filmed the murder in the car and requests the camera. When the travesty Joslyn kills himself and Dr. Robbins finds drugs in his stomach, the CSI begins to solve the complicated case that is different from what they have imagined in the beginning.
"Strip Maul" is an interesting episode of "CSI", with Nick and Sara working in the patrol of the streets. There are many arrests and while investigating, they find that nothing is like seemed to be in the beginning. All the apprehended criminals are interconnected in a bigger case of murders and the victim is the wanted killer. The teamwork is perfect and even Finn is more contained in this episode. My vote is eight.
