The CSIs are pulled into an early morning rollout call to investigate the murder a millionaire entrepreneur and his wife who were shot to death in the driveway of their upscale, gated-community home.

Gawd I hope that isnt a euphemism :lol

Absolutely loved this episode. Great murder mystery and some very welcome character developments. Greg getting the once over from Warrick was a good reminder of just how far he has come from the first season.
Also liked Brass talking to Sara about her drinking and using cough drops to cover up the smell of the alchohol. Obviously this is in connection to her getting passed over for promotion by Nick.
The interplay between Grissom and Catherine during her evaluation was priceless. Definitely a foreshadowing of when he says he will leave the show when his contract is up.
Congratulations to the great Canadian X-Files actor " Nicholas Lea" as a love connection with Catherine. Does any one know if this is a continuing arc or only one shot?

What was Nicholas Lea in? He looked REALLY familiar to me, and it was driving me nuts. I guess I'll have to use imdb.

Dang, now I know! he was Krycek on X-Files! :wallbang

He was? Heck I didn't even recognise him and I just watched an xpisode the other night too. Well not sure now if the rumor about Grissom and Sara getting hot and heavy this season is going to pan out.

Krycek aka "Rat Boy". :lol

Boy Warrick is channeling Grissom on this episode get on poor Greg case. Just like Sara was on the joke Nick made on the last episode no feeling.

I just have missed an episode, which I don't think cuz I've watched them all.......I think. But when did she start drinking?? It felt like, to me at least, that this was the first mention of her HAVING a drinking problem. Wait, I think I did miss the promotion episode. Oops

It was new to me too. I normally don't miss an episode, but I don't recall there being one that dealt with the promotion issue yet either. Either they didn't, or a whole lot happened during the one show I missed this season, argh.

I don't know what to think of the possible Sara drinking storyline. I wish the writers wouldn't go down that path if they're thinking about it. It's not necessary for all of the characters to have some major character flaw/drama going on. We've got Grissom and his hearing, Warrick and his gambling, Catherine and her father and now RatBoy, Sara was bad enough with her puppy dog devotion to Griss..and Nick, who's got a White Knight complex. If they decide to do some alcohol storyline for her, it just detracts from the show, IMO, which isn't supposed to be about the minutia of the CSIs lives, but the job they do and the crimes they solve.

I can't stand CSI:Miami for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that we can't have a single episode go by without some reference to Raymond Caine and Horatio's creepy semi-stalking of his former sister-in-law.

I still can't get over RatBoy being Catherine's new boyfriend. I keep waiting for black goo to come seeping out of his eyeballs or to find out Cancer Man is really the new owner of his club. :lol
