    Lots of great things about this episode. Warrick tutors Greg, who does several stupid things in this episode: not sterilizing his kit, wearing a t-shirt with goofy writing to the scene, showing up at the wrong end of the estate, etc. I guess we earn Warrick is pretty methodical, too.

    Marg Helgenberger ookeed particulaly attractive in this episode. I was about to lose my mind. Nice little love story for her. I thought he was going to turn out to be the bad guy and compromise the situation, though.

    The whole thing with Brass and Sarah seemed to be tacked on at the last minute, and I don't think it fit the episode very well at all.

    All in all, great episode. The moral of the story is: don't get papercuts.moreless

Brass: Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah, I, uh, I understand colds. (winks) You know, back in Jersey when I started gettin' it from both ends, my wife and my work and when things started gettin' heavy I started medicating... (makes motion with his hand as if he's drinking) it killed my cold. And god forbid I had an early morning rollout and I had that tell tale breath, you know what I mean? So...

    • This episode is ripped from the headlines of the murders of Mickey and Trudy Thompson. Edit
    • Warrick: Yeah, it's not a Rebels game. Warrick is referring to the UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas) Rebels. It's a football team in the NCAA. Often in the top 25 in the country. Also has an NCAA basketball team, but not as popular or as good as the football team. Edit
    • Grissom: I was watching the World Series of Poker, waiting for Sam Farha to light his cigarette. Sam Farha is a famous poker player, and one of his signatures is the unlit cigarette he has in his mouth during games. Edit
