Crash and Burn

Episode Synopsis
Sara's personal life takes a hit when she investigates a deadly car crash. The accident is a bizarre and seemingly random one involving an elderly woman who killed and injured several people when she drove her car through the front of a bar crowded with happy-hour patrons. Among those hurt is Sara's EMT boyfriend, Hank (Christopher Wiehl). While Sara (Jorja Fox) is rocked by his injury at first, she soon manages to work the case in her usual professional manner. But her emotions begin to get the best of her once again as she learns disturbing news about Hank's presence in the bar. Elsewhere, a woman dies of carbon-monoxide poisoning, and Grissom quickly decides it was no accident.

What an a**hole that Hank was! Poor Sara. I can´t believe she was so cool about it and didn´t rat Hank out to his OTHER girlfriend.

I think you have your priorities wrong spacejammies- Hank is the stupid one for thinking he could have two women at once w-out informing them. Good ep btw.

Wowww Sara centered Episode. That is what I call awesome. She is sooo damn nice. Even to that stupid Hank, who is nothing without her.

Another episode about Sara Sidle. I really get depressed when I see a chapter of this poor girl. You really know how to be better person only watching this girl's mistakes.

I really love that ep, poor sara... Does anyone know the song that played at the end of that episode? when sara was in the car with katherine, and kath offering to get a beer? i have been looking everywhere for the name of the song.. THANKS!

The song played at the end of the good episode is "Wild Horses". It's a Rolling Stones song but I just don't know who perform it in this version...

What a great episode I feel so bad 4 Sara I agree with Gregsarafan she should of gone out with Greg when she had the chance they are better off together. I like it when Cath and Sara work together they make a good team. Grissom's case was good!

This episode's only mar was the ending with the case of the old woman crashing. And it was still pretty good. The case Grissom looks into with the monoxide poisoning was great though.

"Grandma was high?" "High as a kite" Awsome episode, i wanted to kill hank and his girlfriend. Loved the fact Sara and Cath seemed to have made up and went out for a beer. XD. The poisioning was very cool, the old woman crashing...the last words to her

The song "Wild Horses" was covered by The Sundays and can be found on the original Buffy Soundtrack. Always loved that song and it was perfect for that scene... poor sara! Sara and Grissom forever

Sara should have mentioned that she was going out with Hank also. He didn't deserve the break. What a scumbag.
