|ShortSummary= Grissom, Nick and Warrick investigate when a body falls from the sky and lands between a couple of rollerbladers. But soon Grissom's problem with [[otosclerosis]] forces him to leave the case to Nick and Warrick.

Meanwhile, Catherine investigates the death of a man who was shot with his own gun, only to find out that someone else had shot him over a family dispute. |
