  • Sara starts with the attitude

    I think it was around this season when Sara began having the attitude. She started questioning Grissom's orders, cases started to take a toll on her and it seemed like she got in trouble with the rest of the team. I have no idea why she was so upset that Grissom called her in to work solo on a case. Was it because it was her day off? Okay, but she should understand that they were understaffed.

    The cheerleader case is so disgusting it's unbelievable. But only those who have been under the influence of a powerful drug can tell. And I guess the case being gross was another reason fo Sara to hate Grissom.

    Grissom experimenting on Greg was funny.moreless

    Another fantastic episode, and it even had some great GSR.

    Grissom & his team investigate the death of a couple in their home. At first it looks like the husband may have been the murderer, but that changes when they find his body in the pool.

    Meanwhile Sara gets to go Solo this time & has to investigate the death of a highscool cheerleader who seems to have been attacked by a wild animal. But things arent what they always seem.

    Nick was pretty envious of Sara because she got to work Solo & he hasn't had the chance to yet, while Sara wasn't too happy about it. And as always when Nick & Warric work together there's definately gonna be several funny moments.

    I just loved Greg in this episode, the best part had to be when Grissom experimented with the mildew on Gregs feet. Poor Greggo. I couldn't stop laughing at him when he walked into Grissoms office saying "Quarantine, here I come" and then when he said "You infected me with mildew!" that look on his face I was ROTFLMAO.moreless

    A real estate broker gives the combination to only people he trusts when looking at upscale home. Peter Berglund and Janine Wood were going through the hole house when they went outside to the pool were Janine looked up and sow blood was dripping from above her. The woman has a gun shot too the right side of the head. Brass ID the woman by a photo as Monica Newman with husband and prime suspect Cal, who is no were to be found and is older then her .Grissom, Nick and Warrick look at the pool and see it is cloudy water so grissom tells the guys that one of them is going in so they play Rock Paper Sissers and well nick lost so he has too go in (I liked that part) and he finds Mr. Newman's body.
    Sara was called in on her day or night off to investigate a DB at a high school soccer field the cause of death was e. coli bacteria because someone bit her and they have it too.

    • Goof: When Sara first approaches the body of the cheerleader you can clearly see the cheerleader breathing. Edit
    • Peter Berglund: EX Navy SEAL. Brass: ... you rang the bell. Goof: You ring the bell to signal a Drop On Request, during Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training, so you're not yet a SEAL. Response: In fact though, Brass does say to him after the 'you rang the bell' speech - 'you had the physical tools for the training but not the character', which suggests that Berglund may never have been a full SEAL. Edit
    • Greg's mothers' maiden name is also his middle name. Edit

Greg: Well, it acts like one. But PCP's such a powerful drug it's in a class all its own: Disassociative anesthetic. Sara: Brain disassociates from the body.

    • Catherine: Max, we found two sperm donors on the sample from your stepmother. Your father's and yours. Jeri Newman: Now I know why you were spending all that time at your father's. Edit
    • Sara: Soccer bunnies? What are soccer bunnies? Det. Lockwood: Well, each cheerleader is assigned a soccer player. She's his bunny. Gives him gifts the night before the big game places his wake-up call. Sara: Sounds sexual. Det. Lockwood: Yeah, that's what I asked the principal but he said no. He said that, uh it's all good, clean fun. Gifts are inspirational videos like, uh, Rocky and wake-up calls are pep talks, nothing more. Sara: Yeah, well, I'm not sure the principal's up to speed on teenagers' sexual habits. Edit

    • Title: Let the Seller Beware The title of this episode is a play on words of the Latin phrase caveat emptor, which means 'let the buyer beware'. This is used in many property transactions to ensure that the buyer knows it is her or his responsibility to check the property carefully before actually buying it, or the consequences will be on their head. Edit
    • Warrick: Looks like the husband pulled a Clark Kent. Clark Kent is the alter-ego of Superman, who wore his costume underneath his regular clothes. Which were often left behind when Superman had to rush off to help people. Edit
