    Nothing happened and for most of the episode I was bored. hide show

    Rather a boring episode. I cannot remember a single thing about it expect for thermite and wasn't there a guy climbing a power line or something? The only other thing I remember was that Nick's kidnapping story ended. They could have handled it better. A lot better. But they didn't and they most likely will never revisit it which will be rather sad, it was a good story line while it lasted. This close to February sweeps the producers should be doing all they can to get viewers but if this was the first episode of CSI I ever saw I would not have bothered to ever watch it again. I was that bored.

    The only thing I remember with absolute detail was thermite and Sara's "maybe some people shouldn't be together." Having seen the finale it's a scene that makes you think. Are they together already at this point? If I was a casual viewer though I would have thought there may be something between them and then changed channels. It was a let down overall.

    Good Episode but the plot could have been better. hide show

    This episode definitely cleared a lot of things up but the whole reasoning behind why the accountant woman encouraged Walter Gordon into kidnapping a CSI. I mean he couldn’t be the only person she was scamming money off so why would she go into all of the trouble. Wouldn’t it be more hassle than it was worth?
    Still it ties up a lot of lose ends (resonably well) and for once carries on an earlier story. CSI never used to do that but recently it's started to have a lot more continuity which i think is good.
    Then again it's csi so whatever happens i think it's good!

    Nick finally gets a little closure! hide show

    It was great to see Nick get some closure even though it probably wasn't enough. I thought it was good but it can no where near what I expected. I expected much more action and relation to Grave Danger.
    And that line from Sara was very powerful and straight to the point. Hopefully Grissom will get his head out of the microscope now!!!!
    All around great episode!

    This episode would have been great if the whole accomplice case was written differently or if Quentin Tarantino directed this episode.

    This episode would have been great if the whole accomplice case was written differently or if Quentin Tarantino directed this episode.

    Finding Walter Gordon's accomplice dead & then finding out she was the accomplice was a little too lame, not a nice way to close Nick's kidnapping case. It would have been better to dedicate a whole episode to the story alone just like Grave Danger.

    Another thing that doesn't really add up is how Nick was more angry at Archie for keeping the whole tape thing a secret from him than he was at Grissom, he was just too calm when he went to talk to him.

    On another note, the "thermite" scene with Grissom & Sara was excellent, maybe now he'll finally make a move after what she said to him.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • Goof: Nick finds the tape recorder, listens to where it's currently at, and then rewinds it, and plays it further back on the tape. While he is doing all of this you can see it's in his left hand, the hand closest to the camera (which is on an angle because his hand would have been blocking it). However, as soon as he listens to it, when the camera angle changes, if you watch the frames before it's in his left hand and then suddenly in his right hand, while he listens and starts walking around the room. []
  • Goof: When Sara is pointing to the various phone records with her finger where she's standing, where her arms are and where she's supposed to be pointing is inconsistent. She would have to move unreasonably fast in order for the timing to match up. []
  • Goof: When Kelly's heart stops Sofia proceeds to do CPR. However, in order for the CPR to be effective, Kelly would have to have been moved off the bed onto the ground or another hard surface in order for the chest to compress, she wouldn't have been able to compress her chest the correct depth.

    As Nick clicks into the file concerning his kidnapping, the file creation date was listed as May 19 2005 - the date the two-part Season 5 finale " Grave Danger (1) & (2)" originally aired.

    Also, there's a note that Nick's file was last modified on Sept. 23 2005 - the day after the Season 5 premiere episode "Bodies in Motion"(when the Walter Gordon tape is analyzed). []
