Episode Synopsis
The team is investigating the ongoing murders by a signature killer. The killer has some knowledge of forensics and has left little evidence behind. With the investigation somewhat stalled, the sheriff invites the FBI to join the case. This makes Grissom angry and it only gets worse when Sara offers to bait the killer.

How brave of Sara to volunteer as "honey trap". And Gris was so scared something would happen to her...maybe more than friendly those two?

Great episode! Loved the plot!! Grissom was exellent! Liked his phone conversation to Nick, and how he cares so much for Sara. 'Love ya' peanut!'

Can anyone tell me what music Grissom is listening to, when he's lying down? It may be a violin- or celloconcerto, but by whom? Nice episode by the way.

It was rather predictable -- the security guard was my first suspect. Still, it was great how the group pulled together.

I loved how Catherine saved Grissom's life by shooting the security guard.

I don't like Sara as much anymore. I read CSI: double dealer before i saw this one and i was totally confused as it refers to Culpepper almost getting Sara killed.

Contrary to everyone else, I thought it was great that Sara set herself up. At that point in the episode, it was worth the risk. Besides, as if Grissom would let anything happen to her ^_^.
That was kool, the way Catherine saved Grissom. W2G, Cath!!!

One of the very first episodes that actually scared me a bit, and definitely a great episode. How stupid can the FBI be, and sara too? Even grissom at the end, how could he go there on his own like that. IT was well done though, very well done.

OMG I wonder wat Grissom would have done if that guy in the grocery store had done something to Sara! Grissom was sooooooo stupid to go all by himself to try and talk to the strip strangler...good thing Catherine was there!

One of my fav episodes ever for the interactions/subtleties between Cath and Gris. She rallied the team around him and saved his life! WOW! Shame Sara's character is so dumb...if only the killer would have gotten to her.

Good episode, somewhat predictable, but the team as a unit was awesome! The team standing up for Grissom, Cath killing that guy, the look on Grissom's face when Nick calls him "peanut", good interaction between the CSI's.
