The CSIs are stunned when the bodies of two identical women are found dead on the same night. Amanda Sinclair, the wife of a successful doctor, is shot twice at close range in the parking lot outside Chen's Laundromat, while Jill Case, the editor-in-chief of the Las Vegas Globe, is found hanging off a railing in her apartment, an apparent suicide. The CSIs are shocked when they learn the two women were adopted separately and didn't even know about each other's existence. Catherine is certain their deaths are related, but Grissom isn't convinced.
Amanda had contacted their mother, Dora Pomerance, an emotionally fragile woman who gave the twins up for adoption after having them at eighteen, but her daughter, Tiffany intercepted the letter and, worried Amanda wanted money from her mother, wrote back asking her not to contact Dora again. The CSIs turn to Amanda's husband, Gary, when they find lipstick on his collar from a nurse named Natal Peled. Natal claims they were having an affair, but Gary insists they weren't. The CSIs suspect Natal when they find cigarette butts with lipstick on them outside the Sinclairs' house, but the DNA on them matches Tiffany. The teen admits she was curious about her sister and would watch Amanda with her young son sometimes, but was afraid to approach her.
At a dead end with Amanda's case, the CSIs scrutinize Jill's life. They learn she was having an affair with her therapist, but he tells them Jill was the dominant one in their relationship. Archie uncovers evidence that photographs from Iraq taken by Jake Lenore Jill printed in the Las Vegas Globe were photoshopped, and the CSIs question Jake, who defends his actions and denies killing Jill. The CSIs obtain a warrant to search his house and uncover a blue stocking similar to one found in a dumpster near Chen's Laundromat and a bloody t-shirt. They realize Jake killed both Amanda and Jill. Amanda and Jill used the same laundromat, and Jake hid out there, knowing when Jill picked up her dry cleaning. He shot Amanda thinking she was Jill and then headed to Jill's house to steal her computer and hide the evidence that his photos were doctored. When Jill came home from her date, the shocked photographer strangled her and make it look like a suicide.
