Episode Synopsis
Grissom investigates a possible suicide at a high-profile construction site. Against the wishes of the Sheriff, Grissom pushes to get at the truth of the matter-he thinks the suicide was actually a homicide, and uses theories on electrocution to look for his killer.
Meanwhile, Nick and Catherine take on a case with little more than angora fibers to follow. A teenage boy dies while in session with his female psychologist, and traces of angora on his underwear make them believe the psychologist may be practicing very unconventional methods of "therapy."

Would have gotten a 10 if they left out the subplot about the psychologist. The main plot is great. I didn't really feel sorry that Nick got raped by a woman when he was a kid. It was my childhood dream to have an older woman rape me when I was between the age of 7 to 17. And the rebirthing death might win the award for the dumbest case ever on CSI.

Okay episode. as the supercybergeek said the rebirthing death was pretty dumb. also i am not an electrician but does reversing polarity give you a shock?

The case Catherine and Nick worked was just too far off base.

I have to disagree with others who said that the Dylan Buckley case was off base. If you've never been in the situation Nick described, count yourself lucky. For the person who said they wanted to be raped - I can tell you as someone who was, you really

The only ep where I've seen such a blunt scientific error! Any electro-physicist knows that the reason you don't get fried by lightning in a car is that electrons will gather on the outside of any steele cage (such as a car). Rubber tires would provide in

Well, nice episode as usual but seeing Grissom insulted by the sheriff is pretty disturbing and damaging the story.

The nail in the boot was put wrong - upside down and Vilenti should have felt before he died. Wrong polarity means ground was -ve and -ve was touching the drill metal which shocked him.

this wasn't one of my favs but i feel so bad for nick....and what sick twisted person wants to be raped (supercybergeek)?

The background story of Nick and his psiquiatric is bad, and looks like a prostetic to the plot. I don't believe his teenage abuses, and why he didn't talk about them eralier.
The murder of Grissom and the tool is more interesting, thank godness.

I feel very sorry for Nick.... he's raped when he's only 9 years old.... And yeah, I agree with showhat, who wants to be raped (supercybergeek)?

Rather dull, I just wasn't interested as much into the case Grissom was on. And the death of the kid involving his "Treatment was odd." I'll watch the episode again since I think I missed something now...

Not a very good ep. What was up with the pickle demonstration? It didn't provve anything Grissom didn't already know. Poor Nick, he got a hummer or some P when he was 9. I don't feel sorry for him.

Major technical error in the Grissom storyline. As he is doing prelim investigation at construction site he tells the foreman and the sheriff that "Terminal velocity is 9.8 meters per second squared." WRONG! Any first year physics student will tell you

This epi was pretty good...but the sub plot with the therapist was kind of out of place. It seemed like it was a last minute kind of thing... I did like the actual overload part tho...The pickle lightbulb was great...im easily amused...
