    Wow, This episode turned out better than I expected. Just the guys this time.

    Knowing that Jorja fox (Sara) wasn't appearing in this episode I thought it was going to be boring but surprisingly I didn't miss her at all, I can't believe I actually considered not watching it. But I ended up watching it twice.

    This time Warrick gets emotionally involved in a case, his mentors 9 year old daughter was murdered & Grissom has no choice except to kick Warrick off the case and assign a new one to him & ironically his new case was to find out who beat up the suspect.

    Nicks case on the other hand was interesting and we got to see more of Archie this time.

    I think this episode rocked!!!! Warrick is by far my favourite character and this episode shows alot about his background. Also it wasn\'t the traditional \"this episode is about me i\'d better do everything\" scenerio. Warrick got kicked off the case for getting to emotionally attached. What i found weird about this Warricks mentor was arrested for assult. I mean are all the CSI\'s mentors bad. Catherine\'s was arrested for messing with evidence and Grissom\'s expolited everyones weakness in a trial against a movie star. But all in all this episode was well done. The only downside was Grissom didn\'t make his witty pun before the theme song!!!

    • This marks Archie's first time in the field, but he's not seen in action. Edit
    • Goof: Just after they arrest the Janitor, they are walking out of the building past the employee's. The girl sitting at her chair is not actually typing on her keyboard, her fingers never even press on the keys and her screen-saver is displayed on the screen. Edit
    • Goof: When Grissom gives an unfired gun cartridge to a tech for possible fingerprints he says it is a stovepipe and was never fired nor exposed to heat, which is impossible since a stovepipe occurs when a spent casing is caught in the slide before it is completely ejected from a semi-automatic gun.
