My Personal Favourite. William Petersen turns in a moving and powerful performance as an unusually affected Grissom. Absolutely fantastic TV.

It was good, but was not worthy of a ten.

I loved how it showed that even Grissom can get emotional from time to time.

What a heartbraking and wonderful episode! Great chemistry between the entire cast but Grissom was fantastic!!! Grissom's character really develops throughout the ep. Loved when he exploded & threw Greg's lab work.

Ok episode. Good emotionally. Not very original though.

Seriously good episode. It was pretty much a downer to watch but the emotional play with Grissom and the constant question of "who-done-it" was just outstanding.
