  • Henry is "abducted" to celebrate his birthday.

    "Great"
    By Matt16020-FIN, Yesterday Report Abuse
    This is an unusual episode of CSI. I dont know if it works that well, but it was worth of watching. After Henry leaves the lab, he is in garage where he is "abducted". The kidnappers have masks and they are driving out of Vegas to a remote rib bar. Soon they are revealed to be familiar faces. As they reach the bar, it has been shut down. And the story begins from the bar. I liked how this was different to others and Hodges and Henry are given more screentime. You could have guessed the guilty guy. A Great episode.moreless

  • Stokes, Hodges and Saunders take Henry to a remote biker bar for his birthday. The adventure turns out to be anything but "excellent." Elsewhere, Langston and Willows look into the drowning death of a young woman at a wealthy businessman's home.moreless

    Well, one thing you can say is this episode did a good job at keeping you hooked until the end. The storyline featuring the not-so-happy birthday was the highlight of this episode mainly because it was clever and avoided being predicatble. The characters at the closed down rib joint were a little too odd for my tastes but I like how the story was done and it definitely was not formulaic. The investigation into the young woman's murder was good also, but the character of the businessman was just a little too irritating for me. Still, this episode certainly works.moreless

    • In this episode, when Brass and Langston find a man in front of a TV, Brass mentions that the guy is crazy about true crime tv-series. On the screen, a list of fictive series is shown. However on the right side of the screen are a list of episode titles. Blood Drops refer to CSI se01ep07. I-15 Killers refer to I-15 Murders se01ep11. Stalker to Killer could refer to the episode where Nick is being stalked and the title Murder of the Co-ed, is almost the same phrase as in the IMDB description of Good Bye and Good Luck, se08ep09. Edit
    • A glaring mistake was made in regard to the explosion that killed the cook and propelled him through the window. The cause was explained as ethylene gas having built up at the bottom of the tank and then being set off by a gunshot. In actual fact, ethylene gas is lighter than air (density of 0.97 compared to air with a density of 1.0), indeed the only anesthetic gas that is lighter than air, and therefore it would NOT build up at the bottom of the tank. In fact, it would rise to the top of the tank and build up there if the tank is closed on top. That property, added to the fact that ethylene is so highly explosive over a wide range of mixtures in both air and oxygen and also the fact that its onion like odor is reasonably objectionable led to its discontinuation as a viable anesthetic agent as soon as cyclopropane became available.

    • Catherine (to Ray): Well, this is what's been buggin' me, with Joey Bigelow, Jekyll took the man's bowtie, and then left him another bowtie, so to speak, inside his body. And with Bernie, Jekyll gave him another appendix. I'm just wonderin' what did he take? (walks off, Ray ponders this) Edit
    • Shirley: You think I don't know what you see when you look at us? (takes a sip of her martini) Bunch of ignorant drunk crackers. Shiftless peckerwoods. Lemme tell you somethin', we built this outta nothin' with our hands, or sweat and or determination. Mayor of Vegas used to eat here. Greg: (whispers to Hodges) Alright, if I can't find a phone, I'm gonna make one. Keep an eye on her. (walks off) Shirley: We had politicians, celebrities, rubbin' up elbows with the common man. Some nights, we had eight, ten limos stacked out up front. Then Harry took off, it all went to hell. He didn't care who he hurt. (making another martini) Are you sure, that I can't fix you boys one of these? Hodges: Uh... I could use the little boy's room. Shirley: Ah, toilet is all stuffed up. There's one in the basement. But, you don't wanna use that one, believe me. There's like, a million black widow spiders down there. It's like a black widow convention is what it is. You just like puff and die. Use the bushes. (Hodges goes to leave) Henry: (grabs his arm and whispers) Whoa, whoa, what am I supposed to do? Hodges: You heard Greg, keep an eye on her. Shirley: (pours Henry some whiskey) You are gonna drink a man drink, just like that. (Henry chuckles nervously) Edit
    • Henry: Maybe the racoon lept through that window ninja style, and before this guy could shoot it, it landed on him and chewed his face off. Well, I guess we should call it in, huh? Oh, that's right we have no reception! Edit
