CSI: Crime Scene Investigation looks into the death of a woman who died for a living.
According to CSI Files sources, "The Chick Chop Flick Shop" begins with a beautiful woman tied up and scared. She pleads for her life, but she cuts off with a scream as blood sprays in her face. It becomes obvious that this is not what it seems to be as she begins to cough, choking on the 'blood', and the director yells to end the scene. They are in a movie studio, filming a horror flick, and the director, Zack Putrid, gives bawdy instructions to the man squirting the fake blood so that they can do the take correctly.
As the crew prepares to re-film the scene, Brass and Nick arrive. They are being escorted by Stanley Vespucci, the Head of Physical Production. Vespucci explains to them that the studio's lead actress, Weatherly Adams, is missing. She didn't show up for filming that day, and she wasn't answering her phone. Nick and Brass look around her dressing room, which shows no sign that there was a struggle. At first they are skeptical--she didn't show up, but there's nothing to suggest that she isn't fine. However, Vespucci points out that Weatherly's purse is still there, with her keys and wallet inside. Her car is still parked in the parking lot. There is definitely something going on.
Brass and Nick look at a vase of white roses with a note of congratulations. When Brass asks who sent the flowers, Vespucci admits that he doesn't know for sure. However, he suspects that it is one of the creeps or stalkers that followed Weatherly sometimes. He even gives Brass a file with rap sheets in it. Brass says that he is going to send a patrol car to her house, just in case. In the meantime, Vespucci takes them to where the studio had a break-in.
Vespucci leads them to a large corridor where props are stored. Corpse mannequins are piled around, and Vespucci goes through a list of the ways that Weatherly "died" in their movies. Nick adds one to the list, acknowledging that he had watched Weatherly's movies. They arrive at a broken window and speculate that someone broke the pane of glass and then reached in to unlock the window. As Nick goes to collect the broken glass, he hears flies and sees a bloody mannequin nearby with an axe sticking out of its back--except that this time, it isn't a mannequin. It's the real thing, the real Weatherly, dead face-down on the floor.
Catherine and Nick process the scene. The large pools of 'blood' surrounding the body turn out to be fake blood with much smaller amounts of real blood thrown in. As Nick sprays phenolphthalein to look for the real traces of blood, Catherine tries to get prints off of the axe handle and fails. Eventually, they must break the news to everyone that Weatherly is gone. They also have to take fingerprints and statements from everyone to get their version of events. Tommy Lafoon, who owns the studio with his brother, demands that they arrest Albert Zarco-- a former co-worker who had been obsessed with Weatherly, even after a disfiguring injury cost him his job at the studio.
