CSI: Miami Episode 8.12 Show Stopper

A pop star, Phoenicks, spontaneously erupts into flames at a surprise concert and dies. Comparing the medical records to the body during her autopsy, Horatio discovers that she wasn't the actual Phoenicks. Her manager finally admits that the real Phoenicks, Phoebe Nichols, wanted out months before and her back up dancer, Vanessa Patton, had been impersonating her ever since without anyone knowing the difference. Vanessa is the body lying before them. The team also discovers that she didn't die from the flames but from a heart attack. They find copper wires running through her dress that conducted electricity and the makeup she wore was extremely flammable making it easy for a stun gun to be shot at her, electrocute her and cause her to erupt into flames. Meanwhile Jesse and Calleigh search for Phoebe after being told by her mother and manager that she disappeared. When they search one of her properties they find that Phoebe was being held against her will, drugged and sedated since she left being Phoenicks and Vanessa took over. They discover her doctor was drugging her under orders from her manager. Both of them insist they had nothing to do with killing Vanessa. They just wanted to keep Phoebe in control when she finally decided to return. Calleigh finds a GPS tracking chip inside Phoebe which was put in by her mother. When they question one of Phoenick's fans they see on the concert footage ripping off a bracelet from her and finding a chip on it that matches a stun gun, he finally cops to finding out that she wasn't the real Phoenicks. Both he and Phoebe's mother planned to get rid of Vanessa in order to get Phoebe back to her right place in pop stardom.

Jesse finally reveals to Calleigh the real reason he came back to Miami - he's stalking a serial killer who killed his wife and other women in LA who has now moved to Miami and is living with a woman.
