Eli is like the best CSI ever except that what she finds out can't exactly be used as evidence in court
That's why she needs someone to show her what constitutes physical evidence.

Hmm... We could say she and Carter met when he was investigating the case of a rouge Meta that Eli was also investigating for reasons of her own. Kinda hard to think a girl 5'11" in an all black neoprene suit was normal.
