    "Perfect"

    This was a great second part, and definitely my favourite two episodes of the entire series. It was definitely a tear jerker, especially the final scene where Brass goes to see Officer Bell's widow. It was nice to see that they didn't resort to a stereotypical reaction from her, which was completely hating him. It made it even more sad that she didn't blame him, saying that she knew it wasn't his fault, even though every cop there did blame Brass for what happened. It would be interesting to see if anything comes from this or whether they take the lead from Bell's widow and stop blaming Brass for what clearly wasn't his fault, something that he couldn't control. It was also a sad moment when Grissom told Brass that it was him who shot Bell, not Sofia. It was clearly hard to Grissom to tell Brass this and it was nice to see that moment between the two friends.

    But what was up with Sara? She totally turned into a totally insensitive cow when she saw Sofia talking to Grissom. A little compassion wouldn't have amiss. There is definitely something wrong with her.

    I didn't really like the scene with Grissom explaining to the community what had gone on. It just feltoff for some reason. But it was nice for the father of that boy who got shot hear the truth. He'd been so busy slagging off the police without any reason to suspect they did anything wrong. And why was he more concerned with telling the world what he though of the police and not spending more time with, in his words, his critically ill son? He needs to get his priorities in order.moreless

  • There was no way Brass shot the cop.

    Unfortunately if you were to pay attention to the first part (or have a dvr) you can plainly see Brass behind the officer he supposedly shot. He was low to the ground. He definitely never stood up!

    You can actually see he never gets up during the entire event. No wonder he couldn\'t remember standing up. I hope they address this in a future episode.

    I hate it when a show like csi is inconsistent. If only the csi team had the footage of the event like we did...moreless

    I liked this episode because so much was going on with the CSI team, and Grissom had everyone working around the clock on solving this case. It was also a two-part episode, which I love with CSI, because they always know where to leave the audience hanging. I think all the tension in the community and within the team conveyed well, creating a tense atmosphere for the viewer. It kept my heart beating the whole episode. I also liked how they had Sofia thinking that Bell's death was her fault the whole time through, only to discover that she was innocent, and that it was in fact Brass who had killed Bell. All in all, a good episode.moreless

    The previous episode already had stellar quality, but this one really made me love CSI even more. Fact is that the last few scenes made me cry. And that's saying something. Paul really impressed me with a piece of acting that was solid and not for second went over the top.

    Basically, this episode goes on after the assassination of a suspect. Sofia tries to deal with the situation and turns to Grissom while Sarah, seeing this, is being a insensitive (maybe even jealous) bitch. The situation with the Hispanic community is dealt with, although a bit too easy for my taste. No way, that the whole community would accept a presentation just like that, especially given by a scientist.

    The last scene is just very very good, and I'll be rewatching that one quite a few times. It will be difficult to surpass this one!moreless

  • This was excellent. It was suspenseful and I never guessed how it was going to come out. I love that.

    How this show continues to have people you care about with plots you cannot predict I do not know. But they do and I am so grateful. There is no show like it. CSI Miami shows what it would be like without the characters you love. The characters show that they care about each other and therefore you care about them. It is "science with a heart" - you can't beat that!moreless

    • Wendy: I got your results from the blood on the bullet. It definitely belongs to Officer Bell. This is my first deceased police officer. I heard that his wife is pregnant. Grissom: Wendy, you understand that this is confidential. Wendy: Yes, sir. Grissom: And you can't discuss it, even with your co-workers. Wendy: I understand what this means. Edit
    • Hodges: I got blood. Sara: Where's it from? Hodges: Expended bullet, Torres house, candle in the living room. Sara: That's our through and through. Bobby: Looks like a copper-jacketed nine-millimeter, consistent with cop ammo. Sara: Brass, Sofia, Adams, Davis and Carroll were all shooting nines. Compare it with their firearms ASAP. I'm gonna go tell Grissom. Edit
    • (Talking about the shell casings/bullets Greg recovered during the pursuit) Grissom: Only AK ammo? No police cartridges or bullets? Greg: Not one out of 233 items. But cops don't get to shoot car-to-car, only bad guys do, right? Hodges (walks in): Oh, hey, Greg, been on vacation? Look, I know the UnderSheriff's on your back so I figured I get to you quick. Grissom: Okay, you got to me. Hodges: Found red clay chips and dust in the gouges on Ricardo Estevez's .45. (hands him the results) He was the guy that was in the east alley with Brass. Grissom: Red clay chips? Hodges: Trace is consistant with roofing tiles, and clay pots. Greg: Who keeps a gun in a clay pot? Hodges: That would be no one. (Greg rolls his eyes face) In a crisis you can always count on me. (leaves) Greg: Doesn't he bug you? Grissom: No more so than anyone else around here. Edit
