    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
