What's in a name?

According to CSI Files sources, the eighth episode of CSI: New York's fifth season will be called "My Name is Mac Taylor". To celebrate their 100th episode, New York will deal with an unusual case. Two victims wind up in the morgue. One man is an investment banker, and the other is a tax attorney. They were different ages and were killed in different manners. The only obvious connection between them is their name: Mac Taylor.

One victim with the same name as the crime lab's head CSI might be an interesting coincidence, but two victims makes it sound more like a pattern. The team investigates the cases as though they are connected--it's better to be safe than sorry. Adam does a search of every available database and locates 23 people named Mac Taylor within a 50-mile radius of Manhattan.

Various Mac Taylors are interviewed, but they aren't told why. Three of the possible victims are children. Mac worries that, if any of these people leave the precinct without knowing what's going on, the CSI team could be called to a new crime scene sooner rather than later. He doesn't want to cause a panic if news of a serial killer targeting people named Mac Taylor gets out, but his main concern is to keep everyone safe. To do that, he wants to tell them why they are being interviewed.

The team might catch a break when a new victim turns up--this time the victim is alive. The case leads them to an earlier crime, and they wonder if their killer is out for revenge against someone named Mac Taylor. The question is, which one? "My Name Is Mac Taylor" will feature several notable guest stars: Scott Wolf, Rumer Willis, Julia Ormond, Chris Daughtry, NFL star Marshall Faulk and Nelly, who first appeared in "Turbulence".

Please note that the above plot details have not been confirmed by CBS, Alliance Atlantis or Bruckheimer Films, and until such time you should treat this information as you would any other rumour. The above information comes from early script drafts and the details of the episodes are liable to change before the episodes are shown.

"My Name Is Mac Taylor" is expected to air November 19 on CBS.

Why can't the CSIs get dates?
All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
Three words: Hank the Skank.
