Answer 1

It's not surprising that they chose to give a little bit of a cliffhanger/head scratcher. They do that in this show. Maybe he (Ernie from the chicken plant) didn't do it at all but merely supplied the models? Maybe he was sick and didn't have long to live anyway and that's why he killed himself? I think that there is more to the story and we will have to keep watching. I think it's the new thing to do (cliff hangers) to keep people with the program. Since there is so much out there now. And people are right, it gets confusing at times, but the characters are so great - that's why I'm sticking with the show.

Back in the lab, Grissom uses his FIBEROPTIC LIGHT to get a closer look, searching for the dead doll's image found on the previous two miniatures. Finally he locates a third view of the doll, which leads Sara and Grissom to try and find a thread tying the victims together. They have no luck, but Sara will see if Raymundo dialed any phone numbers in common with Izzy Delancy and Penny Garden.

Grissom has some high-resolution equipment brought into the lab to get a closer look on the footage of the serial killer filmed during Penny's case. The footage is grainy, but looking at it with better equipment yields the logo to Locomotiveville, an organization dedicated to train enthusiasts. On the website, Greg sees a familiar face: Ernie Dell, a worker from the chicken plant.

A SWAT team rushes Ernie's house just as Gil receives a message from the man, directing him to a website. Gil clicks on it as Ernie sits down in front of a webcam with a cup of tea, delivering a soliloquy on the futility of life, and the sadness of failing to find joy in existence. An honest day's work isn't enough to sustain a person in a world gone mad. "A man could kill from sun-up to sunset and his work would never be done," Ernie says before taking a gun and shooting himself in the head. The SWAT team has arrived too late.

Gil has just watched a man throw himself into the abyss, by choice. What more darkness can he bear?

I feel the same as you. The show goes merrily along for 45 minutes, you wait to find out who did what and why, and then they give you some stupid, confusing ending. I too was totally lost. My husband who is usually pretty good at these thing was lost too. I find a lot of shows are doing this now, and I don't see the point. I find I'm watching less and less.
