Ep 14. One Night Stand

In the CSI: Miami season 3 episode 14 titled "One Night Stand," the team is faced with a complex case involving the death of a man found on a yacht in the middle of the ocean. The victim, a wealthy businessman, was found with a gunshot wound to the head and there are no signs of forced entry or struggle on the boat.

As the investigation begins, the team discovers that the victim had a reputation for being a womanizer and had possibly picked up a woman the night before his death. They trace his movements to a high-end hotel and begin questioning the staff and guests to determine who the woman might be.

Delko and Calleigh focus on the physical evidence found on the yacht, while Horatio and Alex gather information from the hotel. They soon discover that the victim's one night stand was an employee at the hotel named Christine. While initially reluctant to confess, Christine eventually tells Horatio and Alex that she and the victim had consensual sex the night of his death, but she left the boat before he was killed.

The team begins to suspect that Christine's story may be true when they find evidence of a second individual on the boat that night. They search for the mystery person and soon come across a man who claims to have been on the boat with the victim but had lost consciousness after consuming too much alcohol.

As the investigation progresses, the team uncovers a trail of lies and deceit surrounding the victim's business dealings, leading them to suspect that his murder may have been related to his work. Meanwhile, Horatio must grapple with personal issues as he confronts his estranged son who has suddenly reappeared in Miami.

With each new piece of evidence, the team must piece together the events of the night of the victim's death and determine who had the means and motive to kill him. As tensions rise and secrets are revealed, the team races against the clock to catch the killer before they strike again.

Overall, "One Night Stand" is a gripping episode that blends mystery, drama, and personal struggles to deliver a thrilling hour of television.
