"Burned" is the twenty-second episode of the fifth season of the America crime drama CSI: Miami.
[edit] Plot
A fire starts in a house, where engaged couple, Claire and Brett Gibbs are sleeping. Claire wakes, and asks Brett what the noise is. Brett investigates, but when he opens the door the fire bursts in. Claire escapes by leaping out the window into the swimming pool. Brett dies.
The team first turns toward Anthony Bryant, Claire Gibbs's ex-boyfriend and a stalker. Unfortunately, even though he has had prior arrests for burglary, stalking, and arson, he has no convictions. Furthermore, at the time of the crash, and the Gibbs' burning house, Yelana had been following him. Yelana has new work as a private investigator, and had been hired by Anthony's lawyer to track him for the past twelve hours.
The evidence next leads to a man called Michael Lipton. However, Lipton refuses, at first, to talk to anyone except Ryan. It's during the interview between the two that the fact that Ryan owes ten grand to Lipton comes out.
Calleigh then discovers that it is Ron DuCain's prints on the glass fragment from the car, but he turns out to be a dead end. After several other suspects are brought up and rejected as the killer, the killer is found to be Bryant. However he had not set the fire. In a strange twist, two more corposes are found in the house. They have autopsy marks, and had not died in the fire. It transpires that Claire and Brett had planned to fake their deaths, to get away from Bryant. They doused the house with gasoline and waited. But Bryant hadn't shown up that night, and they fell asleep.
The fire was started when the man who Bryant hired to shoot Brett broke a glass pane on the door, and set the fire off by adding oxygen to the vapours.
During the investigation, Elana approaches Horatio with a video of Ryan paying off Michael Lipton, to cut their ties. Horatio confronts Ryan, but he doesn't admit to gambling, and later, when presented with proof, he is fired.
