Answer: a district judge

Judge McHenry was a New Jersey district judge that was a victim in an unsolved murder case from the week before. He was shot in the head and posed to look like a hunting accident. The bullet has the same markings as the one that killed Venus, when Sheldon does a computer case search and comparison.

Sheldon also matches the tick and wood evidence from Venus' body, to the woods the judge was murdered in. The evidence from the judge's case had transferred to Venus when the killer moved her body.

Answer: a gallery of bloodied portraits

When Mac asks the impersonator if they can talk somewhere private, she leads him behind a curtain. The hallway turns black and when the computer room lights up, Venus has disappeared. She tells Mac that the White Rabbit told her who he is and never to trust someone you haven't met in person.

The hallway turns into a gallery of pictures with victims shot in the forehead. Screams can be heard down the hallway, when Mac realizes these are people the impersonator has killed or is targeting. Mac calls it a "trophy room".

When he tries to talk to her again, she infects the lab system with a virus and shuts the lab down.

Answer: a congressman

The killer murdered Cheryl Miller to have access to her avatar, because control of the avatar gave them access to high profile people they were paid to assassinate. Using the activity log, Danny finds that the impersonating Venus is targeting the owner of the avatar Mr. TCB. Using the contact info, they call the number and have a conference call with a very shocked David King. Mr. King is a congressional aide, and admits the avatar actually belongs to his boss, Congressman Devane.

He apologizes and tells the CSI that the congressman is in New York City.

Mac and his team arrive at the apartment building to protect the next target. When they ask the doorman for directions, he tells them another visitor is heading the same way. Mac looks up and sees a woman dressed as Venus' avatar, with green hair and a black suit.

He tells everyone to get down and shots are fired. The assassin takes the elevator and Mac tries to catch up by taking the stairs.

Answer: a trash chute

The assassin ditches her disguise and uses a bystander in the hallway as a hostage to pretend they are a couple. When Mac tells her to stop, she turns around and shoots the man she is holding. Mac is temporarily stalled because he tries to help the victim bleeding. Stella tends to the injured man, but the assassin escapes Mac by using the trash chute in the hallway.
