Biography

Christine is the sister of a close friend of Mac's, Stan Whitney, who was killed in the line of duty several years ago. Mac lost contact with Christine for a while, until Jo and Lindsay demonstrated Facebook spoofing by making Mac a Facebook page while they worked a case involving a guy who was spoofing someone else on the site. Mac got a friend request from Christine, and accepted, and they met later to talk.

CSI:NY

Season Eight

Brooklyn 'Til I Die

After having received a friend request from Christine, Mac also receives two messages from her, one saying hello to him and the other inviting him to meet her for coffee. At the end of the episode, he meets up with her, and the two of them reminisce.

The Ripple Effect

Mac remembers the first time he saw Christine, and remembers that her brother Stan told him she wanted to open her own restaurant. He visits her at her restaurant, which is nearly empty at the time, and gives her an old, chewed-up ballpoint pen that had belonged to her brother, and a story about the pen and why he has it. She thanks him and gives him some food which she had made for a no-show customer. At the end of the episode, her restaurant is packed with cops, clearly based on his recommendation of the food.

Flash Pop

Christine tells Mac that he need not feel obligated to join her to a family party if he is too busy with the current case. At the end of the episode, following some wardrobe advice from Jo Danville, he shows up nevertheless. He enjoys her family, but notes that all of them have been asking questions. She admits to him that she's kind of glad that they're asking questions instead of pestering her about her love life, but it doesn't seem to be working as well as she'd like. In response, he kisses her on the cheek, to which she responds by kissing him back.

Sláinte

Christine and Mac briefly meet up during a break of his, and she makes her interest in him clear, and he indicates that it's mutual. They agree to have dinner, and she cooks a nice meal for him, but he is forced to cancel last minute because of the case. He later apologizes for always placing work as such a high priority, and she tells him that she'll get used to it. He brings by ingredients to make another meal with her, and she watches in amusement as he has her sit with a glass of wine while he does most of the work.
