Ep 4. In Plane Sight

In CSI Miami season 8 episode 4, titled "In Plane Sight," the team investigates a deadly crash that occurs when a private jet crashes into a skyscraper in downtown Miami. The incident not only results in the death of everyone on board the plane but also causes a major fire that threatens the safety of people in surrounding buildings.

As the investigation gets underway, the team quickly discovers that this isn't a run-of-the-mill air crash investigation.

As the team talks to witnesses and examines wreckage at the crash site, they begin to uncover a web of secrets and lies surrounding the incident. Evidence suggests that the plane was carrying illegal drugs, potentially tied to Kerry Liggett's pharmaceutical empire. Moreover, it appears that one of the passengers, the senator, may have been on board against his will.

Meanwhile, back at the morgue, Dr. Alexx Woods (played by Khandi Alexander) makes a startling discovery when she examines the body of a woman who was found dead near the crash site. The woman was not on the passenger manifest, but she appears to have a connection to Kerry Liggett. As Dr. Woods delves deeper into the case, she uncovers disturbing evidence that suggests the woman was murdered - and that her death may be connected to the plane crash.

With tensions running high and the clock ticking down, the team races to uncover the truth behind the disaster. They soon discover that the crash was not an accident at all, but rather the result of sabotage designed to cover up illegal activities. As they work to identify those responsible, they must also struggle with the difficult moral questions raised by their findings.

Overall, "In Plane Sight" is a tense and gripping episode that showcases the best of CSI Miami's trademark mix of intricate investigation and high-stakes drama.
