Can You Hear Me Now? - S4-E1

Plot hole: The coroner found the ticket stub in the throat of the guy whose tongue was cut out, he died in the ER. The ER staff would have have found the ticket stub while trying to save his life. With the tongue being cut out they would have opened up his mouth to stop the bleeding.

Time's Up - S4-E4

Plot hole: In Episode 4-4, "Times Up," it is stated that Kevin Murray will be killed at 9:45. When Mac is standing over the dead body, he looks at his watch. It is 9:45 and he says, "Right on time." Unless Mac was standing on the sidewalk when he flew out of the window, he actually would have died earlier, since it would have taken time for the police to be called and arrive on scene.

Happily Never After - S4-E12

Plot hole: In the beginning, they state that "Wendy" fell on the bus at another location. Don quickly states the bus was parked in the same location all weekend. Later, they find the primary location and find a window and hypothesize that a bus could've been parked outside the window, and that's where she landed on it. It's weird that they wouldn't check out the parking spot for the bus right away, only finding the spot once they find the classroom.

The Fall - S1-E17

Plot hole: The CSIs catch a murder suspect putting down a drink can when reviewing security footage of a robbery, and immediately realise they didn't see it at the scene so assume one of the first cops on the scene must have removed it. Thing is though, the murderers shot out the security camera before the actual shooting occurred, meaning there was loads of time off-camera for the killers to take the can with them, but the CSIs never even consider this - they jump to the conclusion a cop took it even though there's no actual evidence for that.

Chosen answer: Probably to broaden the scope of the show's plot and give the audience a chance to see the characters in a different setting, People act differently at home from the way they do at their workplace. By the ninth season, the characters would have become overly familiar and predictable. It gives the writers a chance to do something different with them.
