In this episode Grissom asks Sofia out to dinner after they have bonded over a case. edit »
The men hunting for �Tippy� the bear (even though it is a scam) are in a known hunting area (with hunting tags for other types of animals), but they are not wearing any safety gear (orange vest, hats). edit »
Goof: When Grissom asks the zoo employee to lift his pantleg and expose the injury he got on his leg during the canned hunt, the wound is seen on the left leg. In the scene recreating the event, he tears the right pantleg. edit »

(Nick and Catherine are watching a video of a rhino being shot)
Nick: They're called canned hunts. Going on all over the country.
Catherine: I'm sorry. There's just no sport in that. It's just sick.
Nick: Well, you got that right. Point is, you don't have to go to Africa to hunt wild game anymore. If you've got the money, Africa comes to you.
Catherine: And they drug the animals?
Nick: To guarantee a kill, yeah.
Catherine: But in our case, both the hunter and the prey ended up dead.
Nick: Something went wrong. edit »
Catherine: So, Robbins confirmed that our vic was killed by the bear.
Nick: Okay. Case closed.
Catherine: Uh, not quite. I spoke with the Ranger. There's no way that a Kodiak bear just wanders into Nevada, so whoever smuggled him in could be charged with homicide.
Warrick: How's that?
Catherine: The bear could be considered a lethal weapon. edit »
Catherine: I had to see with my own eyes. You're actually autopsying a bear.
Doc Robbins: It's called a necropsy. And as the head M.E., it falls under my purview. I'm going to write an article for the journal. They love this sort of stuff. edit »
Sofia (about the victim): Maybe some good samaritan offered her a lift.
Grissom: Yeah, and evidently didn't take her where she wanted to go. edit »
(after a man is found dead near the body of a bear)
Catherine: You have a cause of death for this guy?
Doc Robbins: I can confirm he was mauled by an angry bear. edit »

The bear is called 'Tippi', an obvious reference to Natalie 'Tippi' Hedren, actress, mother of Melanie Griffith, star of The Birds, but for many years now an advocate of animal welfare and founder of an animal preserve. edit »
