Heard while Catherine and Vartann interrogate the pole dance instructor.

Fly Away by Nelly
Feels Just Like It Should by Jamiroquai (edit) Nick is using a Fobus holster now and I noticed that Catherine sometimes doesn't carry her gun, unlike Sara, Warrick and Nick. In the previous seasons, only Grissom doesn't carry a gun in his waist. (edit) There's a shot when Grissom, Sara, and Sofia look into a trunk, we see the shot from the view of the inside of the trunk looking up at them. This could be an homage to director Quentin Tarantino's "Trunk Shot" trademark; Quentin directed Grave Danger the season finale of season 5. (edit) Louise Lombard (Sofia Curtis) returns to the show after having her baby.
(edit) Warrick reveals that after the whole thing that happened with Nick at the end of last season, he realized how short life is, and got married. (edit)

Grissom: I think we're looking at, uh, the vehicular equivalent of a through-and-though. (edit) Sofia: Your broadcast was for a blue Pontiac. Patrol figured this was
worth a look.
Grissom: How bad does a smell have to get before Parking Control calls Homicide?
Sara: No way this car was at the trailer park. Think we've got a new case. First citation was issued five days ago. Car's probably been here at least six. (Sofia pops the trunk. Inside are the liquefied remains of two bodies) Six days in the summer heat.
Grissom: And a trunk becomes a crockpot. (edit) Wilcox: How you doing, Nick?
Nick (smiling): Above ground, Wilcox. (edit) Catherine: Why's there a ring on your ring finger?
Warrick (pause): Because I'm married.
Catherine (looks disappointed): What?
Vartann: Congratulations. How much did you pay her? (Warrick laughs) No, seriously good luck with that man. I didn't even know you had a girlfriend.
Warrick: Oh, yeah it's a girl I've been datin' a couple months, Tina.
Catherine: How long you been married?
Warrick: Since yesterday. We did this drive thru wedding at Circus-Circus where you know. Fun, yeah, we, uh...fun time.
David (walking up): Hey, sorry I'm late. Busy night.
Warrick: We need a T.O.D David.
David: Rigor is barely set so not long, under four hours.
Catherine (coolly): About as long as Warrick's been married. (edit) Warrick: Catherine, can we talk...about this? (he holds up his hand, with his wedding ring on it)
Catherine: Sure.
Warrick: You know what happened to Nick just got me thinking... life is so short. You know, it's almost-- it's almost shorter than we want to ever believe.
Catherine: Live for the day.
Warrick: Exactly. So...I, uh, went ahead and I asked this young lady that I've been seeing, Tina, to marry me.
Catherine (smiles): Well, you know that I'm happy for you.
Warrick: Yeah?
Catherine: Yeah.
Warrick: Well, it also feels like you're not so happy for me.
Catherine: Warrick.. (laughs) you know, the thing that makes a fantasy great is the possibility that it might come true. And when you lose that possibility it just, kinda, sucks. (edit)

When Catherine takes the boots off of the body in the morgue, you clearly see the "dead" body swallow in the background (edit) Nick seems rather alarmed when an insect crawls on his arm. This is probably because in the "Grave Danger" episode, he was trapped in a glass coffin and was being eaten by insects, and this insect reminded him of that encounter. (edit) In the lab, Warrick examines items from the burned out trailer home. One of the items he looks at is what appears to be a registration card for a vehicle. The half-burnt paper clearly shows the vehicle make to be Acura, however the VIN listed is that of a Nissan pick-up truck. (edit)

Hodges: Gummy candy. (Greg walks away) I'm partial to Jujubes myself.

In the United States, Jujubes is the brand name of a particular type of candy made by the Heide Candy Company, whereas in Canada and other parts of the world the word is generic, and describes any of many similar confections.
The name of the candy is pronounced JU-ju-beez (edit) Greg (to Sara): And the student becomes the master.

This is very similiar to what Darth Vader tells Obi-Wan in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope right before killing his old master on the Death Star. (edit) It is discovered that the tape from Nick's kidnapping has a second voice on it. The voice says "Perfect." after the original message is played, suggesting there was another person involved in Nick's kidnapping. (edit) Show Sponsor: Chevy Impala
Look behind Warrick after he notices the video camera on the light pole. Etched into the payphone behind him is the Impala logo. In the credits, Chevrolet was mentioned as a sponsor. (edit) At the end of the episode, the CSIs asked fans to donate money to The Red Cross for the relief of those who have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. (edit)
