Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Emotional, brilliant and cool, Sara will always rule hide show
This episode starts quite differently, because we see the victim beeing attacked, and then we see the people who come accross the crime scene. But the main point in this story is not only about this girl being raped. It is the fact that she fights, she stays alive, even though she has been raped and shot in the head. And Sara, who cannot bear domestic violence because of her personal experience, gets emotionally involved and does everything to find out who the assaulter is.
She does the exam on the victim herself, she talks to her permanently, promising her she will find out who did it, she looks at the missing person files for hours and hours, she pushes the evidence, she visits the victim at the hospital often. During all these little things, Grissom who is anxious, advises Sara to let it go and tells her that no victim has to be special. He finally rushes the investigation because Sara\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s state becomes alarming.
There are few scenes between the two of them that will please GSR shippers, including the one at the end, where we learn that the victim is going to be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life. Sara cries for the first time in CSI and when Grissom tells her she has to let it go, she answers : \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" I wish I was like you, Grissom, I wish I didn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t feel anything\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". The episode ends here.
I think every episode uncovers a part of a particular charater. But the whole episode was about Sara, learning that she can sing, that she spends her time reading crime books and listening to the scanner, that
she does not like anything, and that she is a fragile heart, a sensitive girl with a lot of feelings.
This episode is not worth a then though : All the action was about Sara\'s investigation, and the other one was pretty boring
What a great episode! One of the few episodes where the victim actually doesn't die. hide show
Nevertheless, it was very interesting to watch. This is the first of many episodes where Sara seems to became attached to the victims, which isn't an unnatural scenario for a crime lab.
Also, there was a lot of GSR, and that made me happy :) Poor Sara, "I wish I was like you, Grissom. I wish I didn't feel anything". That was very touching.
How can I give this episode less than 10? hide show
This episode is one of the best this season & was oozing with GSR.
Sara gets emotionally attached to a victim who was raped shot twice in the head & left for dead, but she's still alive because she's too tough to die.
Grissom also opened up to Sara and finally showed some emotion but Sara kept shutting him out and wouldn't open up to him.
You could tell that he really cared about her when he decided to use the scent pads and track the rapist down using the dogs knowing that he couldn't get a warrant but willing to do it for Sara.When Nick confronted Grissom & told him that he was doing it for Sara he denied it & said it was for the case.
The end was so emotional, Sara crying in Grissoms office & telling him that she wishes she was just like him, and couldn't feel a thing. If only she saw his face she would have known that he did have feelings...for her.
this show is great.i love how they keep human feelings as well as being professional. hide show
