    I didn't like this episode all that much. Both storylines were a little boring to me. And I normally love the episodes where Catherine and Warrick work together, but this one didn't do it for me. Grissom case wasn't all that interesting to me either because there wasn't a lot of suspense. If I had to choose which case I liked better it would be the dead runner's case mainly because of the twist at the end. I never would have guessed it was the teller who killed that boy. It was alright, but I have seen way better episodes of CSI.moreless

    Again, not the CSI episode we're used to. While we do see two cases in this episode, the main focus is not on putting the pieces together and solving the puzzle, but on the character development.

    First of all, as part of the runner case investigation, we get to know a bit more of Warrick's past in the gambling scene. The case itself wasn't all that exciting, since we never found out what really happens to the killer, or the exact reason he did it. Killing for money seems kind of cheap to me, so my guess is they were trying to pique our interest by shining some light on Warrick's previous life.

    Then there is case two. The arson case with the lying suspect. While Grissom is telling the supposedly innocent man what can be learnt about a man while staring at him, we learn another thing. Grissom does not judge people by what they say, but by how they act.

    While I like this twist, it comes back every episode. Grissom somehow showing the world that he is indeed a genius, who's best friends range from wallclocks to tarantulas.

    A genius who uses his smarts to help the innocent, and catch the guilty. No personal strings attached.moreless
