"Scared Stiff" is the 8th episode of Season 7 and the 148th overall. It originally aired November 12, 2010.
Upon returning to a scene where the body of a young woman who appeared to have been scared to death was found, Mac happens upon a second victim. For once, the cases are unrelated, but the second victim has a connection to Chief Carver, causing further friction between him and Mac.
Tropes for the episode:
- Sequel Episode: The second victim's case will carry over to the next episode.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: While in Central Park at night, Don reveals to Danny that he's afraid of black widow spiders since they're deadly. Danny explains that while they can make you pretty sick, they won't kill you...and ribs his friend about it.
