The show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation season 1 episode 2 titled Cool Change is set in Las Vegas. This episode delves into the world of drugs and drug addiction. The detectives of the crime lab are called to investigate after a young woman is found dead in a hotel room with signs of a drug overdose. Initially, the case seems straightforward, but as the investigation progresses, things take a different turn.

Nick Stokes and Sara Sidle are first on the scene to examine the body. They gather various pieces of evidence, including blood, hair, and skin samples, which they take back to the lab for further testing. Meanwhile, Catherine Willows is called to another hotel room where another young woman is found passed out from a drug overdose. She is taken to the hospital but is pronounced dead on arrival.

While Catherine is investigating the second crime scene, Nick and Sara are analyzing the evidence collected from the first scene. They find traces of a drug called GHB, which is popular among club-goers for its euphoric effects. Namely, they detect traces of this drug in both girls' systems. The detectives are confident that the deaths are linked and that they are dealing with a drug ring targeting young women.

Grissom, the head of the crime lab, analyzes the drug in the lab and concludes that the substance is pure. They suspect that the drug is being manufactured locally. Grissom is impressed with the proficiency of the drug traffickers since GHB is a difficult substance to produce.

As the team delves deeper into the investigation, they discover another woman who is also a victim of the drug ring. However, she has survived, but is unable to remember anything that happened to her. The detectives believe that she could identify the people who sold her the drug if she could regain her memory. They come up with an idea to jog her memory by taking her back to the scene of the crime and recreating the events of the night.

Meanwhile, Catherine interviews the bartender who was working at the club where the women were last seen. After some questioning, the bartender reveals that a couple was selling GHB at the club the night the women were there. The detectives get hold of the couple and bring them in for questioning.

The couple, Johnny and Sarah, are a drug-dealing duo who use GHB to lure women into vulnerable states to rob them before selling them the drugs. Johnny confesses to being involved in the crimes, but he says Sarah is innocent. The detectives are convinced that Sarah is also guilty and that they need to find proof.

After some intense questioning, Sarah finally breaks down and admits to her crimes. They discover a hidden storage space where Sarah kept the drugs, and the detectives find a batch of GHB that matches the samples they took from the crime scenes.

In the end, the detectives solve the case, but not without the risk of harm to themselves and the women who were targeted. The episode concludes with a reminder of the dangerous reality for young women who are targeted by drug traffickers.
