Sara ... Go home. Listening to her talk is like listening to someone run their fingernails over a chalkboard.

To be honest, in reality I would hate having a boss like Grissom. But I love him on tv :-)

Sure glad this wasn't one of the first episodes I saw. Subject matter was all right and there were some twists, but so few of the scenes were anything but plot devices and how much disbelief can one poor viewer suspend? Would Grissom really store bad bl

"Yeah, hi. I'd like to get some flowers for a girl. No, no, Not flowers. A plant. A living plant, she likes vegetation." Love it, love it, love it!

I don't think people should be so hard on Sara. She had solid grounds for wanting to leave. I agree w/ Judgemental. I also liked the last scene. Grissom and Sara sittin' in a tree...okay, maybe not. But still, you can't deny the REALLY HOT chemistry betew

I loved it when Sara said she wanted to quit! That's the only thing that could make this show even better! Totaly agree with <marghelgenberger> in that Sara needs to be more like Cath. And Cath's been to Gil's place before...loved those scenes from Sea

I wasnt very happy when sara wanted to quit but when griss ordered a plant for her that made up for it. when she said she wanted to quit i was on the edge of my seat yellin "THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!" at least shes still on the case. sara will always be

AHHHHH Does anyone watch Mythbusters here? It was proven that a bullet made of ice and/or meat WOULD NOT WORK! Under any circumstances, maybe JUST at blank point range.
Loved sara and Grissom in this ep but its not enough. AWFUL RESEARCH! Not worthy.
