    ahh high school dances. hide show

    Ahh high school dances dont you love them. Well This girl is found dead and there are a group of suspects. RX is the drug dealer out of the group. They were excluding the dead girl from going up into the master sweet. I loved the part where grissom left his speech with catherine and is all it said was. What can i say about conrad ecklie? on a napkin lol Then the owner of the hotels daughter went "missing" and she died but it ended up being she put herself in the trunk of her car so her dad would save her. Its really sad that that is the only way for her to get attention from her dad.

    Interesting. hide show

    Janelle, a teenage girl is kidnapped from her father's hotel where her friend is found dead. Later on, it is reveal that the kidnapping is just a game. Janelle wants her father to concerned about her.

    First appearance of Sofia Curtis, a CSI who work with Conrad Ecklie (the person I hate the most in CSI, also the one who break up the team) join Gil Grissom and his team to investigate the game that is set by Janelle. Later on, Grissom tells Sofia that no crime has been commited, but once Sofia leave, Catherine receives a 419 when Brass found Janelle's dead body.

    This episode should be the 100th episode because it is awesome! An episode without crime, I love it!!!!!

    I Hate Ecklie!!! hide show

    I canīt believe Ecklie outranked Grissom. Now that he's promoted, he thinks he has the whole lab on the palm of his hands. Ecklie want's to get rid of everybody in the graveyard shift because deep down he knows that Grissom is better than he is. The good thing is taht, despite the Ecklie provokes Grissom, Gil just ignores him or plays along and that pisses off Ecklie. I loved the introduction of Louise Lombard as Sofia Curtis. She is cometing directly with Willows for the day shift supervisor position even though Ecklie recommends Lombard because she is his "right hand".

    Welcome To Vegas Sofia Curtis hide show

    This had to be one of the best episodes this season. I loved the introduction of Louise Lombard as Sofia Curtis. Just the one line, " Im'm wearing underwear.. As far as you know. ", was enough to get me hooked as a weekley viewer. Thank you CSI, CBS, and who ever had the say in creating this character, and hiring the actress who play it.
