Catherine and Nick become absorbed in the dangerous world of street racing after one of the illegal sport's hotshot drivers is found dead out in the desert at an abandoned airstrip.

I think that this was a good start to the new season. The whole street racing thing was awesome. And I have to say that the guy who played Tony Del Nagro was very good-looking. The whole poker champion's death was interesting also. I like how twisted it ended up being.

pretty good for a season opening, not incredibly shocking or twisting, but interesting becasue it brings you into the world of Poker and street racing and at the same time, making it into a crime scene.

I totally loved this one then again I love any epi when Cath and Nick are working together. Tons of Chemistry. I totally love the car scene it was the best! The only thing that would have made it a 10 was if Cath and Nick hooked up. Rock on!!!

Racers, cars, Nick, Catherine and this episode rocked my world! (for the time being... I know that there will be more episodes that will blow me out of my orbit) Fast and Furious... (wasn't that a movie?)

Loved this episode. Catherine was awesome and hot as a street car racer. And there was great chemistry with her and Nick. It would've been cool if they hooked up. But then again Cath could hook up with Gris, Nick, Warick, or Greg and it would be hot!

This was a very interesting episode. Greg and sara should definitely hook up. It was funny how the candyman died from too much chocolate and a piece of lead.
