  • Just didn't like the ending of GRS situation

    The cab driver story was ok, the Lady Heather was pretty good, but the problem to me was the ending of the situation between Sara and Grissom.

    She was jealous, he knew she was jealous and they didn't discussed much about it, so i think that was missing.

    Some great scenes, like Catherine talking to Sara about Grissom and his connection to Lady Heather, and Sara not being able to say anything, speacially when Catherine said that relationships between people that work together dont work out.

    Looking for the next episode and i hope Grissom and Sara stay together and let the others know about them.moreless

    I always enjoy watching CSI, but not all episodes. This one was alright, just not too exciting. The autopsies are always cool and gross at the same time, just the story was boring. I like that it brought Grissom and Sara's relationship more in the story, I like seeing it, I just hope they don't over do it by showing it too much. I'm really glad they showed Grissom making that model. I was worried last episode that they may make him the miniture killer, and for me, I certainly hope not. Seems like they will show more next week.moreless

    Lady Heather is always a fascinating character, and always adds drama to the Grissom and Sara love circle. Great episode, full of drama, humor, and romance!

    Best parts that I can remember:

    Greg: Why can't days keep anybody?
    Grissom: Money, stress, Ecklie...maybe.

    Brass: Guess who he called yesterday: Lady Heather.
    Catherine: Might have threatened her.
    Brass: And we both know how she likes to settle her own scores. I'm gonna get a warrant, but it may take me some time because I have to find a judge who isn't a client of hers.

    Grissom: I'm the only one Heather trusts.
    Sara: I get it.
    Grissom: Sara.
    Sara: Yeah? (Grissom can't think of what to say) It's fine. Do what you need to do.

    Catherine: You were with her all night, can you explain why? I know you don't go home and cuddle your insects every single night, but why would you go there knowing we're in the middle of an investigation? And now she's a prime suspect with you as her alibi.
    Grissom: It was a social call. That's all.
    Catherine: So, when your personal life gets tangled up in a case, that's off limits?
    Grissom: Yes.
    Catherine: Isn't that a little hypocritical?
    Grissom: Apparently so.
    Catherine: You know, I'd slap you but I think you'd enjoy it too much.

    Warrick (on seeing Doc Robbins yawn): What's the matter Doc, you been hitting it a little too hard?
    Doc. Robbins: No, canine insomnia. I'm fostering some puppies. Jack Russells. Had me up all night. How 'bout a puppy to keep you company?
    Warrick: No, if I stay up all night, it's not going to be because of a puppy.

    Catherine (after Sara has tried to change the subject three times): My fantasy does not include costumes. Not pain, and certainly not sawdust. (she dusts off her leg) You? (Sara turns away awkwardly)

    Catherine (noticing the rope on the floor): Did she have ligature marks?
    Brass: On her neck, yeah.
    Catherine: That doesn't make any sense. She's a dominatrix, not a submissive.
    Brass: Maybe the party just got out of control.
    Catherine: Somebody... didn't know the rules.

    (While Sara and Catherine are processing the crime scene)
    Catherine: Heather on the other hand, uninhibited, and can beat him at mental chess...
    (Sara can't believe what she's hearing)
    Catherine: They had chemistry and he's a scientist, I have no proof and I know he'd never tell me, but I'm certain they spent the night together...I wonder which one wore the chaps
    Sara: (clears her throat) Lots of coins and toothpicks, they don't sweep under here.
    Catherine: More power to him really to find someone outside of work, 'cause...you start fishing from the company pier and asking for trouble.
    (Sara has a look of total shock.)moreless

  • A mixture of Cabbies, Wild West and Dominatrix.

    There's always something about Lady Heather. We havent seen her for some time, so it was good to see her again but you feel sad for her and Grissom, now that Grissom has got Sara. I really do enjoy Lady Heather and Grissom's on screen chemistry. Brave Sara was still doing her job and trying so hard not to be jealous. Anyway I digress. There's an attempted murder at a wild west saloon involving Heather. A Dead sherrif. A dead pickpocket. Seceretive cabbies and Greg getting demoted to day shift (LOL). All in a days work at CSI Las Vegas. Really looking forward to the season finalle. I wonder who the minituare killer is and which member of CSI doesnt make it.....
    Love The Show!!!!moreless

    Once again Lady Heather, Grissom's main nemesis and friend at the same time comes back as someone tries to murder her. But what is even more worse, is that she won't name the attacker as the team must try to figure that out on their own. But meanwhile, Sara is uneasy about Grissom's "reunion" with the devious Heather!

    • Goof: When Grissom is at the park talking with Jerome Kessler, in the first scene we can see a bottle of juice by Jerome's left side sitting on the bench, then we see the baby girl sitting on the blanket. Later when she approaches Jerome and Grissom she's holding the bottle and gives it to Grissom. There was no time for Jerome to give the bottle to the baby. Edit

    • Cab Dispatcher: You guys from the strip-o-gram? 'Cos last year for my birthday, a cop showed up with a phoney badge, started tearing his clothes off and trying to rub up on me. (laughs) I'm an excellent tipper. Nick (while he and Warrick try to keep straight faces): Well I'm sure you are but, uh, no ma'am we're not dancers, we're here about the warrant. Edit
    • Heather: Leave me alone. I didn't ask you to save me. Grissom: I know, but what was I supposed to do? I'm your friend. Edit
    • Jermone Kessler: Is this official police business? Grissom: No. Jermone Kessler: Did Heather send you? Grissom: No, I'm just a friend of hers. Jermone Kessler: Did she tell you about me? Grissom: Not really. Jermone Kessler: We married very young, it didn't last very long. Heather left without telling me that she was pregnant, I wasn't aware that I had a child until after Zoe was already dead. Grissom: And that's Zoe's daughter, Heather's granddaughter. Jermone Kessler: Her name's Allison. Why are you here? Grissom: I'm just trying to understand what's happening to her. I'm aware that the court has denied her visitation rights. Jermone Kessler: Wouldn't you? Grissom: I'm not so sure. Has Heather tried to give you any money for Allison? Jermone Kessler: Yes. The day before yesterday, I got a call from the bank. Heather has set of a very generous trust fund for her, no strings attached. And I assumed she sold her house. Grissom: Can you tell me how much? Jermone Kessler: 843,508 dollars. I know Heather closed the business a few months ago trying to convince the judge that she'd be a fit guardian. Had to be from the sale. Grissom: I wonder if she calculated the exact amount that it would cost to raise a child and put her through college. Especially at Harvard. That's where she sent Zoe. But it wasn't her house that she sold. Edit
