    OK so i really liked this episode. The jogger was killed by a dog and then the owner of the dog grinds them up and eats them as a protein smoothy like thing. The reason she does it is because she has a diease that makes her get lesions and stuff on her face so something about eating people makes them go away. The dead girl at the carnaval was killed by her mom because she thought that her daughter was after her boyfriend. Then with no kid she could run off with her boyfriend with no kids. I felt really bad for the little girl because that is just pathetic that she would kill her daughter over that.moreless

    I found this episode like most of CSI episodes very interesstng and enjoyable to watch, A really good intense storyline with an easy enough plot to follow! Getting better by he episode, and coming close to the end of Season 1! Which should be excellent as there will probley be a huge cliff hanger!

    Grissom, Nick, and Warrick investigate the death of a jogger who was killed by a wild animal in the park. They discover that the dead jogger had his organs removed, with a scalpel, right after he was killed.

    The guys meet Dr. Hillridge, who is a bit creepy and who, it turns out, suffers from Porphyria aka The Madness of King George. And it turns out that she's been drinking the organs. Gross.

    Catherine and Sara investigate the death of a six year old girl at shady carnival. And because Catherine is a mother of a little girl she gets too emotional in this case.moreless

    The primary plotline for \"Justice is Served\" surrounds the murder of a marathon runner out in the middle of nowhere, apparently by a dog or a mountain lion. However, this marathon runner had his liver, his spleen and his pancreas removed surgically. What seems to be an allusion to urban legends of people having their kidneys forcibly removed to help some Mafiosa who can\'t go to a hospital because he faces arrest turns out to be something much more sinister.

    At that point, Grissom, Warrick and Nick meet Dr. Hillridge, a very hot, and very disturbing nutrtionist who primarily services professional athletes. Alicia Coppola, formerly of Another World, places Dr. Hillridge as a seething, sexual, and disturbed woman. When the truth comes out--that she suffers from Porphyria, which can be linked to either the madness of King George or the legend of the vampire, it gets really, really creepy.

    What amazes me the most is that once again, we see Grissom in the presence of a hot, hot babe, and once again, he\'s totally focused on science and is ignoring a woman whom most me would be all over after so many unsubtle hints. But then again, that\'s just Grissom.

    The B plot involving the Carney was a waste and didn\'t need to be done. However, once again it fills in the gaps for some of Catherine\'s personal life and her role as a mother. Including the ending with her hooking up with a Building Inspector whom she butted heads with a few weeks earlier was a nice setup at the end though.

    A good episode overall.moreless

    • Dr. Hillridge: Mr. Grissom. You're looking grim. I'm afraid I don't have a supplement for that. Grissom: We found blood in your kitchen blender. The lab has matched it to the dead jogger. Dr. Hillridge: It had to happen eventually. Grissom: Why? Dr. Hillridge: You're the scientist. I should have thought you'd figured that out. Grissom: I haven't. Dr. Hillridge: Think of the bugs, Grissom. Cycle of life. Angels versus insects. When we die the fable we tell ourselves is we go toward a white light and angels. But you and I both know the hard reality is that insects arrive immediately and begin turning us back to earth. Grissom: Yes. But the insects haven't killed anyone. Dr. Hillridge: No. But they'd die if they didn't have bodies to feed off of. And so will I. ... Porphyria. Grissom: The madness of King George. Dr. Hillridge: Or the Legend of the Vampire. Which makes it a real hard disease to have. But it's real for me. Grissom: It's genetic. Dr. Hillridge: The only thing my father ever gave me. The first time it presented was after a minor sunburn. My lips receded -- so did my gums. I increased my glucose intake and I was fine ... for a while. I began a drug regimen but they only treated the symptoms. I had my spleen removed because it absorbed my blood. But nothing helped. Lesions started forming on my face. That's when I bought my first dog. Bullets and poison leave residue in the blood. Dogs kill clean. Imagine what I'd look like by now without them. Grissom: You could've tried intravenous hematin. Dr. Hillridge: Human blood is the richest source of heme. Grissom: And so you extracted the organs with the most blood-- the liver, the spleen, the heart. Dr. Hillridge: If you lock me up, I'll go mad. Grissom: Unfortunately, a symptom of your condition. But you've been killing people, doctor. Dr. Hillridge: I'll die in prison. Grissom: Yes, but the people you'd be feeding off of will still be alive. Cycle of life. Edit
    • Sara: The only person who could have done it, then is the person that was in the car with her, the mother. Catherine: Her eyes were pointing in the wrong direction. Sara (shakes her head): I'm sorry. What? Catherine: Carla Dantini was looking left when she told me about the accident. When a person is remembering, they look right and when they're creating, they look left. Sara: And by creating, you mean fabricating. Neurolinguistics programming, human behavioral science. Catherine: Call Brass and tell him to meet us at the mother's house. Edit
    • Catherine: You're going to enter this as a homicide, right? Doc Robbins: Technically, it's somewhere between accidental and undetermined. Catherine: It's a homicide. I'm going to get your proof. So write down that "accidental" in pencil. Edit

    • Randy Gesek (funeral director): I may have recycled a few caskets. This was discovered in the earlier season episode "Friends & Lovers." Edit
    • Grissom: I think Running Man was attacked up there, then dragged or slid down here. This is a reference to the 1987 film The Running Man based on a Stephen King novel of the same name. Edit
    • Greg: As you know, dogs have 42 teeth, but your Cujo has 41. Cujo (1981), is a novel by Stephen King about a mad dog that attacks people. Edit
