  • In this Episode, Grissom and Lady Heather seem to share a private moment when Grissom is caressing Lady Heather's face and told her "you can always say stop." In the next scene, we find Grissom and Lady Heather having a morning tea, still at Lady Heather's house. The very observant viewer would notice that Grissom has not changed his clothes while Lady Heather has. You could draw the conclusion that they slept together. edit »
  • Goof: In the scene where Lindsay is being questioned she says that the car driver got out of the car, then Eddie (Lindsay's father and Catherine's ex-husband) fell out of the car and into the water. This is not possible. The passenger side door was closed and as the car was on an angle and wedged against the ground and unable to open. It is not possible that he fell upwards and out of the driver side door. edit »
  • The scene where Catherine rescued her daughter from the car was built and filmed on a stage. Marg Helenberger performed all of her own stunts during this scene. edit »
  • Goof: Catherine breaks the car window and throws away the tool used. From a different angle she picks up Lindsey with tool in hand. edit »
  • Goof: When the wife is found dead on the stairs, in the first two shots of her face her mouth is closed. In the third and fourth shots (including one close up) her mouth is open. edit »

  • This episode was 90 mins. According to the DVD Commentary it was a last minute thing for sweeps, and all the writers on the show were involved. edit »
  • Warrick: Are we sure that it was a blunt object?
    Grissom: Size ten, double A.
    Warrick: Stilettos, huh? Brings out the toes, accentuates the legs. Murder on the ankles, though. (he sprays luminol on the heel, it glows in the dark)
    Grissom: Looks like murder to me. edit »
  • Grissom: The material we found in Rebecca McCormick's wound was nylon thread with fragments of ostrich feather.
    Brass: Oh, I know that look. We're going back to Lady Heather's.
    Grissom: I can take care of this myself.
    Brass: Gil, do me a favor. Get a sport car. It's a lot cheaper and easier to handle. edit »
  • Lady Heather: Steven came to me three years ago in a state of confusion. I helped him clarify his need for dominance. Our work enabled him to marry.
    Grissom: But he chose a woman who didn't understand the dynamics of a Dominant-submissive relationship.
    Lady Heather: Unfortunately, the language we speak in here doesn't necessarily translate to the world out there.
    Grissom: No, in here, the submissive has the power... all he has to do is say the safety work and everything stops.
    Lady Heather: Very good, Mr. Grissom.
    Grissom: I'm just repeating what I've heard.
    Lady Heather: You're a good listener.
    Grissom: Part of the job.
    Lady Heather: So, this is work?
    Grissom: Yes, but I value your insight.
    Lady Heather: I'm flattered...but you already seem to know the answers to your questions. You keep me in proximinity when I walk away... (she moves closer to him) ...when I'm close you watch my lips. Are you losing your hearing?
    Grissom: I'm losing my balance.
    Lady Heather: Your sense of self?
    Grissom: No, I know who I am.
    Lady Heather: Do you?
    Grissom: Yes... I do. (he touches one side of her cheek with one hand then the other with his other hand) You can always say "stop".
    Lady Heather: So can you. (screen fades, then the next scene of them is in the morning at Lady Heather's house, having tea) edit »
  • (After Grissom and Lady Heather have tea in her house, he finds out she's a diabetic and calls for a warrant)
    Lady Heather: I think I heard you just say "stop". edit »
  • (During the interrogation Lady Heather gets up and walks over to the mirror she knows Grissom is behind)
    Brass: Is it something I said?
    Lady Heather (staring at Grissom directly through the mirror): I'm disappointed in you, but not suprised. You fear me because I've commited the one unforgivable act.
    Brass: No, it's more like two acts... of murder.
    Lady Heather (still staring at Grissom): I know you. And I know that in your heart I know you don't believe I did this.
    Brass: Lady Heather this has nothing to do with the heart, it's all about the evidence. (Lady Heather turns to look at Brass then back to Grissom. Grissom later proves she was innocent) edit »
  • While in interrogation, the character that Elizabeth Berkley plays, crosses her legs in front of Cptn. Brass; a move similar to the one Sharon Stone did in 'Basic Instinct'. When Grissom enters the room and asks her if she is a natural blonde, she looks directly at "nervous" Brass (with a kinky smile on her face) as he shakes his head [indicating that she was not a natural blonde]. edit »
