"Great"

By aussieforgood, Jan 24, 2006

I didn't really like this episode that much, it was a great episode & the cases were great but I got a little bored, plus Sara was only in one scene.

Grissom & Nick investigate the death of a man who died in front of a casino with a wooden stake in his head.

Catherine & Warrick investigate the kidnapping of a former NBA star's 5 year old boy, which later turns into a murder.

We find out that Warrick is still affected by the death of his mentors 9 year old daughter a few episodes back.moreless

- Grissom: Bats are like bees, Nick. Don't bother them, and they won't bother you Nick: Let's not bother them... I mean it
  EDIT SHARE
- (Nick and Grissom approach an old mine) Nick: What's with the gate? Grissom: It's a bat gate. Keeps people out, lets the bats in. Old mines are considered bat habitats and preserves. Nick: Who puts the bat gates in? Grissom: Batman.

- Warrick: I don't think I can handle another dead kid right now. This refers to the events of the earlier season episode "Random Acts of Violence" where a friend of Warrick's has his eight-year-old daughter killed in a drive-by shooting.
