This is the episode in which we disover that Catherine used to be an exotic dancer. edit »
Catherine had been told to hand off the case against Eddie to another CSI so that she does not contaminate the evidence. She goes against the advice, but you would think she'd make sure she doesn't do anything to damage the case. Yet when she's looking round the dressing room and finds the contraceptive gel, she is not wearing gloves for any of it. Her fingerprints would be all over the evidence and that's hardly not damaging the case! edit »
Warrick and Sara spend the whole episode trying to find a bullet to determine which gun had been used - the cop's or the victim's, based on the fact that the cop's gun was one round shy. Surely the easiest (and first) thing to do would have been to determine whether the cop's gun had actually been fired recently. It seems standard procedure in other episodes. Since he had a full magazine and just didn't 'top off', this would have put him out of the picture straight away and stopped all the hassle with Brass. edit »
This episode is the first time we see Grissom draw his gun. edit »

Teri Miller: Thought I'd let you off easy. But I did tack up my number on your big fish corkboard... under "cold cases."
Grissom: The ones that got away. edit »
Nick (walks in): You brought the foundation of the house to our lab.
Grissom: It's a six-by-three-foot section. When the concrete dried it preserved a partial impression of our Jane Doe. Did you find out anything about the house?
Nick: I pulled the permits. Summercliff was built five years ago on nothing but desert.
Grissom: That would explain why the body was so desiccated.
Nick: House was sold subsequent to completion, so the homeowner isn't a suspect. Homicide is running a missing persons check.
Grissom: Well, if it wasn't for a leaky pipe she might have been down there forever.
Nick: I think our killer was counting on that. edit »
(talking to Catherine about where she used to work as stripper)
Greg: So, the French Palace, huh?
Catherine: Yup.
Greg: You know, my friends and I used to go there. Payday Fridays.
Catherine: Uh-huh.
Greg: Maybe I saw you perform?
Catherine (sighs): Oh, I doubt it.
Greg: Why?
Catherine: You would've remembered. (Greg looks absolutely stunned) edit »
Sara: Both guns are nine millimeter automatics. Brass isn't going to like this.
Warrick: I don't give a damn what Brass likes.
Sara: Like I do? If Tyner's dirty, he goes down. I just know what happens when you piss off the P.D.
Warrick: Yeah, it's war. edit »
Catherine: What do you got for me? I could use a rush.
Grissom: Well, this qualifies: 4-26. But I can't give you the case.
Catherine: Because?
Grissom: Conflict of interest. The alleged rape victim is an exotic dancer.
Catherine: And because I used to be one, I'll be biased?
Grissom: No. The suspect's your ex-husband. (beat) He's asking for you, but you can't take it. (Catherine stands up and looks at Grissom)
Catherine: Just let me do the pre-lim.
Grissom: All right. (he gives her the assignment sheet) Do what you can. But after the preliminary, you pass it off, okay? (Catherine doesn't say anything. She turns and leaves the room) edit »

Title: Who Are You?

Who Are You? is a song by The Who, and the theme song for the show. edit »
Amy Hendler: There was blood... everywhere. No one else could see it ... but I knew it was there. A dead body is so heavy.
(later)
Grissom: For five years, you've been washing the blood off your hands.

Two literary references in this. Edgar Allen Poe's "Tell-Tale Heart" and Shakespeare's "MacBeth," Act 5 Scene 1. edit »
The head molding scene with Grissom and Teri Miller is basically a redo of the scene in Ghost when Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore mold the pottery. edit »
Teri Miller: Gil Grissom? Or should I call you Spider-man?

This is a play on the comic book character "Spiderman". edit »
