There is an unexpected huge explosion inside a sugar factory and our team has been called in along with emergency personnel to investigate and assess the fall out. The one fatality is Eduardo Santana, who has been buried under tons of sugar and his bones have been shattered. The team concludes that the sugar dust level was too high as a result of a safety door being closed and there was a dust explosion. We also learn that immigration officers randomly show up at the factory to round up illegal immigrants for deportation. They think the door was accidentally shut when the some of the workers ran out to hide from the immigration officers. The shut door may have contributed to the explosion. Nina, Eduarado's fiance, as well as a factory worker is desperate to stop immigration from taking her illegal immigrant sister and deporting her. Horatio connects with Nina and tells her to let immigration officer detain Isabel, (they make an exception for Horatio letting her have 48 hours instead of 24), and he will make sure she is not deported. Delko and Ryan find a horse hair on the catwalk that they believe Eduardo fell from. This leads them to Luis the horses caretaker. It seems Roger Cavanaugh the owner of the sugar plant, handed over Luis son to immigration in order to keep Eduardo from being deported. We then learn that Eduardo is actually Roger's son from an affair he had with Eduardo's mother (deceased), who worked at the factory. Luis confronted Eduardo on the catwalk inside the factory, there is a fight and Eduardo falls backward over the railing. Luis tries to save him from falling into the sugar. His body weight and lack of proper factory ventilation causes the machine to backfire which instigates the explosion. As we think Luis is going to surrender he in turn shoots and kills Roger Cavanaugh. Horatio forces Roger's daughter Christie, who tried to cut cost by shutting off the ventilation system, to create a college fund for her employees. Isabel is granted a student visa and can stay in the country as she will be the first recipient of the scholarship.
