Grissom: Cause of death?
Doc Robbins (singing): Blunt force trauma to the back of the skull, and it fractured the occipital lobe. There was massive hemorrhaging on the brain, and death was probably swift. Yeah!
Grissom (to corpse): Sorry, Izzy. (edit) Sam (on the phone with Catherine): When were you gonna tell me about what happened to you and Lindsey?
Catherine: It just happened. Who told you?
Sam: It's a small town, Catherine.
Catherine: Well, I can't talk right now. I'll let you know when we find something out.
Sam: Anything you need to tell me, I've got people who deal with this stuff. Nobody gets away with threatening my family. (edit) Catherine: Joe Hirschoff and his partner invested everything they had in the Eclipse. But it went bankrupt before you broke ground. You formed a new corporation to finish the project, leaving those guys with nothing.
Sam: Sometimes that's the way it goes in business.
Catherine (nods): Uh-huh. O'Brien and Hirschoff lost $20 million, right? O'Brien caved and stuck a gun in his mouth. Hirschoff wants you to pay him back. So, where is he?
Sam: I don't know.
Catherine: Come on, Sam, this isn't old Vegas anymore. Let the police handle it. Or have you already killed him? (he chuckles. Behind him, we see Joe Hirschoff walking up to them, his right hand hidden behind his back)
Sam: I give you my word, no. (Catherine looks at him and realizes he is the guy from the bar. Joe raises his gun at Sam. Catherine reacts. Joe fires twice, hitting Sam in the chest. Sam collapses backward into Catherine's arms) (edit) Catherine: I should've told you, but I didn't want a sermon. I did my own rape kit. Came back negative.
Grissom: Thank God. These events have to be connected. We'll check your old cases for possible suspects. I'll ask Ecklie if he can kick in some help from day shift.
Catherine: I appreciate that.
Grissom: You've got to stay at arm's length, Catherine.
Catherine (nods): I-I know. (edit) Catherine: Sam. What are you doing here?
Sam: Just wanted to see your face, and I missed you at the implosion party.
Catherine: Oh, yeah. I heard about that, um ... I'm sorry I missed that. (Catherine takes Sam's arm and leads him away)
Sam: When's Lily get back from her cruise?
Catherine: Monday.
Sam: How about a family dinner?
Catherine: Uh, yeah, I'll call you when she's had a chance to catch her breath.
Sam: You know you don't always need a reason to call me. I know you're
busy. (he touches his finger to her cheek) I'll see you later. (edit)

Goof: In the beginning of this episode, while Grissom and Sara start to process the scene, the victim blinks, breathes and move his hand softly. (edit) Goof: Catherine finds Sam Braun saying "you come here every Sunday night," but the close-captioning for this scene has her saying "you come here every Thursday," which suggests whoever transcribes the dialogue for the episode for close-captioning watchers did so from an uncorrected alternate script. (edit) Goof: During the autopsy scene, depending on what camera angle was used, sometimes the victims eyes were open and sometimes they were closed. When they showed him from the front his eyes were open and when they showed him from the side his eyes were closed. (edit) Goof: The music rights inheritance discussion was incorrect. They said if either the son (a minor) or his mother committed the murder, the rights would go to the current wife. This is incorrect. The son would retain his inheritance and the court would appoint a guardian till he turned 18. (edit)

Sara: Of course if a girl can get into Brad Pitt's underwear drawer and take a nap on his bed, I guess anything is possible.

Brad Pitt is a Hollywood movie star.
In 1999 Athena Marie Rolando climbed into Pitt's Hollywood Hills home through a window while the actor was away. A caretaker found her wearing Pitt's clothes and sleeping in a bedroom. (edit) Sara: If they're looking the next Mamma Mia.

This is a reference to ABBA's hit from 1975. This song was from their third album ABBA and topped the charts on Australia, Germany, Ireland, United Kingdom and of course, Sweden.

Mamma Mia is also the title of a very successful musical shown all over the world, which features most of the ABBA hits. (edit) Sara: Son defending the honor of his mother? Name that Greek tragedy.

She's talking about The Odyssey in which Telemachus must defend his mother Penelope against her many crude and violent suitors. (edit) The show Greg and Sara watch, After the Hits, is alluding to Vh1's show Behind the Music. Both shows are similar in style, as they give an inside look on 'has been' musicians. (edit) Greg: So, the aging rocker bit in the kitchen, with the rolling pin?

Possible reference to the board game Clue, in which players try to guess the particulars of a murder scene, who, where and by which object. (edit)
