Who every could have guessed that this would be the episode that would start me on my path to CSI insanity? Not me when I sat down to watch it. I actually managed to see this episode twice before I saw any other episode, which, when you think about it, is kinda weird. But this is supposed to be a review about the episode not how this was the first episode I ever saw so let me move on...
...Tammy was evil from the start, that much I could tell. If she was crazy or not, that may be up for debate. I liked how they continued the plot from this episode in the next season. I felt sorry for the parents who felt that they had to bail their daughter out of jail even though she was kidnapped many years ago. My favorite part of the episode was when Greg told Nick how there was unarinam and Nick thought he would start glowing green. Easily the best part of the episode. When Catherine was talking to Tammy in the jail cell, that part was well acted. Pretty good episode overall.moreless

Episode Summary
A body is found in a pottery store in what's apparently a robbery that was interrupted. Fingerprints at the scene seem to match a twenty year old kidnapping case. Sara and Warrick look into a case where a woman burned to death in her home. The woman was burned to an ash but only the chair she was in was burned, the rest of the house is fine. Sara believes they have a case of spontaneous combustion.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Goof: When Warrick makes a tracing of the knife, he does so rather sloppily. The two lines he makes do not meet each other, and the top one extends past the knife. Yet, when they measure the wound castings for the "blunt object", the tracing is perfectly done, with one solid line going from top to bottom. Edit
- Goof: In this episode, Teri Miller is a forensic artist. But in the earlier episodes "Who Are You?" and "To Halve and to Hold," she was a forensic anthropologist. Edit
- Goof: Grissom mentions Peter Parker being bitten by the radioactive spider and becoming Spider-Man "back in the fifties". Spider-Man actually first appeared in 1962. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Warrick: How do you know about Sara's theory? David: Word gets around. Warrick: No, you're just siding with Sara 'cause you have a crush on her. David: No, that's why I wore a clean coat. Edit
- Nick (referring to the uranium they found): Which is radioactive. Do we need to evacuate the building or anything? Greg: The amount is trace. We should be fine. Nick: You sure? Greg: No. Edit
- Nick: Do you have the results on the swab yet? Greg: Uh ... Nick: Uh... from the dead guy at the pottery store? The coroner sent over a sample. You were supposed to analyze the mineral content. Greg: Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. Grissom has just been running me around like a lapdog. I haven't had a chance. Nick: Grissom's on a missing persons.. he hasn't sent you anything. Greg: Did I say Grissom? No, I meant Catherine. Nick: Oh, yeah. Catherine's working with me. Greg: Oh. Well, what do you say we check out that swab then, huh? Nick: Great. Greg: Don't you ever goof off, huh? Do you ever get a little lost in life? Nick: No. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- The final scene between Catherine and Tammy Felton (in the jail) mimics the final scene between Richard Gere (Martin Vail) and Edward Norton (Aaron Stampler and Roy) in the 1996 film Primal Fear. Edit
- Sara (to Warrick): We are experimenting on a pig again? You know I haven't eaten meat since Grissom used one to estimate post mortem insect growth. This is a reference to the earlier episode "Sex, Lies and Larvae." Edit
- Grissom: You'll be fine, Silkwood. He says this as Nick is washing his hands, having found uranium in trace. It is a reference to the character of Karen Silkwood in the 1983 film Silkwood, telling the true story of a worker at a plutonium plant who was intentionally infected with radioactivity and possibly murdered before she could tell her story to reporters.
