In an upstairs/downstairs-type investigation, the CSIs look into solving two forensic mysteries: the first, the murder of a rising young movie star, amongst his entourage of best friend slackers and groupies, in his hotel suite. In the second story, the immigrant Laotian kitchen workers in the hotel may have turned against each other and committed murder. (TV-14 D)
