Loco Motives

Episode Number: 151    Season Num: 7    First Aired: Thursday December 7, 2006    Prod Code: 710
Grissom investigates when a worker at a poultry processing plant is found dead in a stun bath used to electrocute chickens before they are slaughtered. Nearby, a miniature replica of the crime scene is discovered. It's eerily similar to two other replicas left at scenes of homicides. Also, a man and a dead woman are found stuck in cement at a construction site; and an elderly Russian woman is discovered dead in her apartment with her head in a gas stove, but Warrick thinks she was murdered.

Quotes

add »
Brass (about Ernie): So was he right? Are we really just picking on an old man or is he the bad guy?
Grissom: Well, he's associated peripherally with all the victims, and he certainly has the right skills.
Brass: Yeah ... he spent half his life in Locomotiveville.
Grissom: I know what it's like to lose yourself in little things. After a while it gets to you. (edit)
David: You know, we're getting kind of backed up in here.
Doc Robbins: The only one I hear complaining about it is you. (edit)
Sara: Mannleigh chickens.
Grissom: What about?
Sara: I'll let you know. (Sara begins to leave the room. Grissom looks at her confused) See how it feels. (edit)
Suzy (to Warrick): I like you. You're a giant.
Warrick (laughs): And you're a princess.
Suzy: Thank you. (giggles, playing with her hair) (edit)
Greg: You got somethin'?
Grissom: Yeah, I think so. (seeing the mini replica of the crime scene) One more chance. (edit)

Trivia

add »
The website www.eedellworld.com that Grissom goes onto see the web cam of Ernie Dell's confession is not a real website.

Previously in episodes of CSI:NY the websites that have been shown on screen have been real sites, both external and specials links to CSI features. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Hodges: Oh come on, there’s always room for it.

There's always room for Jell-O is the most well known of the campaign slogans of a simple gelatin dessert called Jell-O that has grown to be called America's favourite dessert. (edit)
Sara (to Grissom): You look like the kid who just found the prize in the bottom of the Cracker Jack box.

Frederick William Rueckheim and his brother, Louis, mass produced Cracker Jacks and sold them at the first Chicago World's Fair in 1893. At the time, it was a mixture of popcorn, molasses, and peanuts and was called "Candied Popcorn and Peanuts". In 1896 Rueckheim devised a way to keep the popcorn kernels separate. Before this the mixture was difficult to handle as it stuck together in chunks.

In 1912 Prizes were included in Cracker Jack boxes. In recent years, the toy and trinket prizes have been replaced with paper prizes displaying riddles and jokes. (edit)
