wasn't a big fan of the case. i loved gris. so sympathetic toward sara. awwww :). didn't like catherine tho. she was incredibly insensitive in this episode. it seemed as if she was turning into an 'ecklie'....

Does anyone know what that song was that played in the beginning when sara was making the mold?

I love background!! Poor Sara and yay for Griss!

Cath was Harsh, sure she has reason to be mad, but siding with Ecklie!?! Ever since that move to Swing Supervisor... Case wasn't great, but the whole Sara thing was sad... I can't wait to see what's going to happen next week with this...
fingersoup 04 February 2005  Vote: 6/10
Sara deserved what she got, and I don't see Catherine as being the next Eckley, Just a stern boss. Grissom SHOULD have sent Sara for help, because she REALLY NEEDS IT. Eckley's a jerk, as always, and needs to be fired for incompetence.
hudd 04 February 2005  Vote: 7/10
Well, a typical CSI episode but at least explains a bit about what makes Sara so disturbing when the victim is female.. For the first time I agreed with Eckley, in the end he looked like a good advisor I say. I guess Sara is in some kind of love with Gris

Wow the episode was simply mindblowing. I mean I don't care for the rest of the eps, cause all the credit goes to Jorja Fox and Billy. She deserves an emmy. They rock!!
MikeR 05 February 2005  Vote: 5/10
This episode was difficult to follow, thus disappointing, but since the standard for CSI is so high, the "5" I rate it makes it a fine show. Sara has problems, needs to get a life, to be appreciated and loved. Maybe she sees Gris as a father image. Cat's
AshMc2001 06 February 2005  Vote: 5/10
I'm still rooting for Gris&Sara. I agree w/ ALWHorse...Cath is getting wayy to close to Eckley the Jackass.

The G/S scene was great . . . and what is up with Catherine and Eckley? Didn't she hate him? The case could've used some work, but I loved the Sara scenes!

i think the mold sara made was a little TOO realistic. and that thing w/saras mom and dad, whoa. OMG GRISSOM HELD HER HAND!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG!!!!!!

Cmon people, Catherine was only looking over a case with that BEEP Ecklie! He could kiss her ass!

I didn't like the case and I didn't like Catherine. She's changed. Poor Sara, you got to feel her emotions. Sara's just so great in this episode.

Excellent episode!
csi_fan14 15 February 2005  Vote: 10/10
it was my favorite epsides so far. i really liked the part where Sara and Grissom talk. I agree. Sara and Grissom need more. more action. like going out or just going to crime scenes together.
mal_ganis 17 February 2005  Vote: 8/10
This wasnt a bad eppi...... But I have 0 sympathy for Sara.. Im not saying Im an insensative person, but I mean come on. All In All a good eppi. :)

Wohowww. Jorja so deserves Emmy. She must get one. The Sara breakdown moment was so real and heart breaking, and that almost teary looks of Grissom was priceless. The mail bride case was ok.

I loved the whole sceen between gris and sara, it was so moving and so sad! I always knew there was something in her past that she was hiding, but that was more then I could imagine! I think it was hilarious, when sara yelled at ecklie, he really deserved

One of the best episode of CSI, but only because of Emmy winning acting of Jorja supported by Peterson. The case story was not so bad either.
CathandGriss4Ever 04 February 2005  Vote: 4/10
Usually Catherine is my favorite character, and today she was just written poorly! Sara was written beautifully, and her character development is amazing, but the story overall, the case was just okay..(Plus, I'm definately minority, but I want Sara and

i really only liked this episode for the situation with sara. once you took that away the whole case didnt really fit together, it seemed sort of bland. i love the sothern' charm nick brought, but in end, so-so
surfshop81 04 February 2005  Vote: 8/10
I agree w/ u guys. storyline not so hot...but the bit about sara was a great character development. We always knew she had a soft spot for domestic abuse...i think we were all waiting to hear her reasons behind it. Gris is great! love him!
ALWhorse 04 February 2005  Vote: 5/10
Catherine does not rule the universe, and I dont know WHY she's all snuggly with Ecklie all of a sudden

The part with Sarah was excellent but was the only good thing about this episode.
DCHeesegirl 04 February 2005  Vote: 10/10
Loved it, but Sara and Cath could've had their argument somewhere other than the hallway! I mean, Cath has an office! She should know how to use it! But no...and they get gawked at by the usual gawking lab techs.

A strong showing in the character developement arena with a fairly strong case file backing it up. The acting is truly Emmy-worthy, while the episode in its entirety is one of the most enjoyable for a viewer.

Hey everybody! What was Catherine supposed to do with a rude Sara? She did't even want to apologize to Cath.

The Case was decent, but could have used more work. The real reason the episode was great was because of Sara. It was good to finally find out what had been bothering Sara. I do agree she was snappy with Catherine, but it only made the episode more inter

Ahhhhhh. I loved this episode. Once again, Sara made me cry... I was jumping when she argued with Ecklie; that guy so deserved those words. Hello writer yo ho... pls give us smily Sara now.

Damnn... Sara ruled this episode. Definitely my favorite this season. Although I never doubted Jorja's acting, I was impressed even more. Ecklie got his ass kicked so well by our missy..have been waiting a long time for that. Awesome.

Oh - 10 just for the amazingly geeklove moments. Sara and Grissom all the way!!!!!
CathWillows81 07 May 2005  Vote: 3/10
Once again Sara went way overboard with an abuse case. At least now we know why...but honestly I don't care. She was her usually judgemental, bitchy self. Good for Cath for standing up to her and not backing down. Sara was totally out of line and dese

Cath was only doing her job. Sara had a hard life but, so did Cath. Sara was a biatch to Cath when she lost her ex and nearly Linds. We all know that Sara has problems taking orders form everyone with the exception of Gris and especially Cath.C'mon people

SARA's ON A ROLL! First she has a go at Cath, then she puts Ecklie back in his box, then she FINALLY gets closer to Gris!! WOO-HOO!

korin 13 May 2005  Vote: 8/10
I like the scene of sarah and grissom. Grissom was syphatetic. But totally don't like catherine in this epi it seems like she wants to go with the flow with regard to how eckley runs the department...

Poor Sara!!But Grissom fixes everything!!But Greg likes her too!! Who!!?? Sorry Greg..you can go out with her once..but Grissom Goes out forever..it works!!

Wasn't a big fan of the case, but the Sara/Grissom aspect was phenomenal. He always ends up coming to her rescue.

Cath is definately not one of my favorite characters. Ecklie is a rat bstard. I'm rooting for them to get together. :)

catherine and ecklie should just hook up and leave the rest of the team together...especially sara and grissom. i agree with emma...just hug the girl! show some human compassion

WOW!! Give the amazing Jorja Fox an Emmy!! Billy Petersen was a great supporting role in that scene - the case wasn't mindblowing, but the acting from Jorja and Billy makes me vote 5. GSR Forever!

I love this episode...altho Sara and Grissom? hmmm...cant really see the 2 of em together, but hey its all good! I luv Sara...she got annoyed easily in this episode...bad bad temper! Luv it when Gil was there all the time to support her...shows the not-so

Not a very interesting case, but lovely acting from Jorja and William! That was one of the best acting performaces of both actors. Really beautiful how Grissom talked to her and stood up for her.
zack007attack 03 August 2006  Vote: 10/10
Jorja totally deserves and emmy for her acting in this one. Gris was the only one capable of understanding sara. The scene between them was one of the best scenes in this show ever. Eckley has no sensitivity for other workers, and must be fired for being
