Unsolved murder: Victim Ian Wallace was strangled, and his body strapped to the bottom of an SUV. The killer stupidly used nylon rope, which melted, dropping the corpse into the road. The CSIs found needle-play marks around Wallace’s nipples and his tongue had been burned during bondage. His girlfriend, Justine, was also found murdered; she’d been kidnapped, taken to the desert, and hit with her own SUV.
Feel the pain: The bondage clues led the CSIs to the Lower Linx, a club for amateurs in the S&M scene. A “slave” at the S&M club, Martin Devlin, became their suspect. They accused him of the murder, but it turned out that his female attorney had also slept with Wallace and that Devlin had gotten jealous. (Brass called the whole thing “a kinky soap opera.”) The night of Wallace’s murder, both the attorney and Devlin had been at Wallace’s house and there had been a fight, but neither of their shoes or cars matched those at Justine’s crime scene. “Are we supposed to believe that same night Ian’s play date went wrong, a couple of psychopaths happened to torture and murder our vics?” Greg asked. And with that, the CSIs were stumped.
No more GSR? Throughout the episode we heard snippets of a Web video Sara had made for Grissom. She’s apparently on a research ship off the coast of Mexico. She said, “I’ve been waiting for you to decide. But sometimes, not making a decision is making a decision. You don’t have to worry about me anymore.”
A little help from his friend: Grissom went to Lady Heather, he said, to get more information about the bondage scene. But she never believed that was the real reason he was there. She asked what stopped Grissom from going with Sara. “It’s beyond my control,” Grissom replied. Heather said that the reason Grissom had come to her was because her house was the only place that didn’t remind him of Sara. And then she offered him her guest room. He accepted.
Exchange of the night
“Have you ever been tied up?” Riley asked Greg, as they looked for bondage gear at the victim’s house.
“What do you think?” Greg said.
“I think you’re more into hair-pulling,” Riley said.
Second best
“Who’s Lady Heather?” Riley asked.
“That’s a whole ‘nother Oprah,” Greg said.
Third best
“Is that normal?” Catherine asked when Grissom randomly walked out of the room.
“Grissom being socially awkward?” Doc Robbins said. “Yes, that’s normal.”
Is it hot in here? Club owner Michelle Tourney was reluctant to give a DNA swab, so an officer had to hold her down while Nick took the sample from inside her mouth. “Turned you on, didn’t it?” she said. “Bet you’re standing at attention.”
So, did Gil sleep with Lady Heather or what? He is obviously leaving the show for awhile. Does he go to Sara? I hope so.
My theory is that is did sleep with her.
William Petersen is going to be leaving the show after the 9th episode and Laurence Fishburne will be joining the cast in the 10th episode. Petersen will remain in his executive producer role and there's talk that he'll also be directing some episodes.
I hope he stays with Lady Heather. I never liked him with Sara. I think he and Lady Heather understand each other better. I think that's why he's having such a hard time going to join Sara.
The chemistry between these two actors is huge and always had been. I vote for Gil and Heather, every appearance by her has been exceptional.
ProudTexas, I totally agree - those two are HOT together. Sara and Gris just don't have that kind of pop. I can't see them having hot n' heavy you-know-what.
I think Lady H is too much for Gris to handle. I agree about chemistry but I think it is friendship not sexual.
Sara is not a hottie but she is on his level. I have always loves them together from the start.
Riley,
I think Gris could curl Lady Heather's toes and vice versa. I think they are two sides of the same coin. Sara has too many hang-ups.
Why did I think L.H. was dead? Maybe I'm confusing her with her daughter who died in one episode. Anyway, he'll either rides off into the sunset with L.H. or Sara. I think he should move to Utah with both.
Please let him not chase after Electra. Not that i want him with LH either....
If someone sent told me that they were the happiest they had been in a long time after being away for over a year, I would consider myself dumped.
The girl is a head case just like mom (granted with out the murder rap). How is proposing marriage not trying to move a relationship forward? Let the whole story line wither and die!
I think that the line about not deciding was deciding was made by LH and not Electra. Who seems to have found someone on the ship who really reminds her of gGil, her new older mail authority figure perhaps.
It's nice to find out I'm not the only one who never cared for Sara Sidle.
I do think Lady H is a bit much for stodgy Griss... wouldn't mind meeting her myself, though! :-)
Chris from MN,
That's why I think they'd be PERFECT together - Griss needs to loosen up and Lady Heather is the one to show him how. Sara was always too freaking uptight and seemed like she was happier being married to her job.
I even thought he might hook up with the blond detective when she first came on the show. She's just as smart as he is and she seems like she knows how to have fun and let her hair down.
I think Sara would have been better paired with somebody like Eckley. They're both obnoxious to me.
Finally! Everyone I know loves the Grissom Sara pairing. I couldn't stand Sara, I thought she had way too much baggage and was a bit on the b*tchy side. She needed to lighten up.
Sara was too depressing. I think Gil did and does have a relationship with Lady Heather and that is something I will miss. With his strong character,she fills a need by taking control over him. He can no longer be the boss because he must sumbit to her.
