C S I what??

So we are just now watching the past seasons episodes. A guy was shot, turns out there were at first twins, then triplets who were involved, but all born 2 years apart and didn't know each other. Then turns out there were actually 4. The dead guy was the RE. They said one woman had an embie split into 4 and she only wanted one so she told him to discard the others. The RE instead gave them away to women, 3 other women, one he kept himself.

I mean WTF??? Can an embie outside the body split into 4 before the ET. I am just so confused. I mean that is total BS right?

Did anyone see this one?

I found this transcrip online. At this point they don't know about the 4th.

FINLAY: Okay, so, we?re talking
identical crime
triplets?
Oh, not quite.
If we go by
the birth records,
our twins,
maybe even our mystery triplet,
were born at different times
and in different places.
RUSSELL: So we?re talking about
in-vitro fertilization, right?
I mean, frozen embryos.
That?s the only way
you can get identical triplets
from one set of parents
born to three
different families.
In different years
and in different cities.
So, we?re saying, one fertilized
embryo split three ways.
Is that even
possible?
Some might call it a miracle.

  • No, I don't think they split outside the body, but I use all the equipment they do for their analyses and I can tell you they screw that up all the time too.  These shows stretch the truth to a) fit into the allotted time and b) add drama
