1. Cool Change After The Holly Gribbs incident, Grissom asked Sara from San Francisco to assist in internal investigation. Grissom referred to her as "... a friend. Someone I trust" Sidle's first appearance, in front of the hotel where Grissom did the tossing dummy experiments in front of crowds. "GRISSOM: Norman Pushed. Norman Jumped. Norman Fell... SARA: (behind him, in the crowd) Wouldn't you, if you were married to Mrs. Roper? GRISSOM: (Smile) I don't even have to turn around. Sara Sidle... SARA SIDLE: It's me... Still tossin' simulation dummies? There are other ways to tell, you know. GRISSOM: How? Computer simulation. No thanks. I'm a scientist. I like to see it. Newton dropped the apple. I drop dummies. SARA SIDLE : You're old school. GRISSOM: Exactly and this guy was pushed. "
2. Crate'n'Burial Sara and Grissom investigated a seeming kidnapping and pulled out a woman who was buried alive. After rescuing the victim, he touches her face and shoulder to make sure Sara was alright. SARA: (frustrated) I keep trying to be your star pupil. GRISSOM: That was a seminar. This is real. Pebbles. Tile. The front is all concrete. Grissom : Did you know that Nevada produces 80% of the countries gold. Miners drop cyanide powder into the dirt, and it draws the gold to the surface. Sidle : And ... how does a bug specialist know so much about dirt? Grissom : I had a case five years ago. We found a skeleton in an abandoned gold mine. I thought it was a murder. Turned out the guy passed out, drunk, and the cyanide leeched into his system. Sidle : Gruesome, Grissom. Sidle : Grissom, can you come tape me up? Grissom : I love my work. Willows : It shows.
3. Unfriendly Skies Sara and Grissom investigated a crime scene on an airplane. Sara asked Grissom to cite his source regarding "Mile High Clubs..." The famous "Cite Your Source" scene: Sidle : *knowingly* Ah, the Mile High Club. That means two passengers may have had no idea what was going on inside that cabin. Grissom : *quotes* You know, high altitudes increases the entire sexual experience. It increases the euphoria. Sidle : *offhanded* It's good, I don't know if it's that good ...*curious* Cite your source. Grissom : Hand me a swab, please. Sidle : You're avoiding the question. Enhances sexual experience, increases euphoria. Cite your source. Grissom : A magazine. Sidle : What magazine? Grissom : Applied Psychodynamics in Forensic Science. Sidle : Never heard of it. Grissom : I'll get you a subscription. Now cite your source. Sidle : Oh, now you want to go down that route. Grissom : Yeah. Sidle : Nah, never mind. Grissom : You started it. Sidle : *LONG pause* Delta Airlines, Flight 1109. Boston to Miami, March 93. Ken Fuller. Hazel eyes, Organic Chem Lab TA, BMOC. Overrated in every aspect ... Could we get back to work please? Grissom : Yeah ... *deadpan* I think that due to your first hand knowledge and experience in airplane bathrooms,you should do the swab. Top
4. Sex, Lies, and Larvae Sara became very emotional investigating the Kaye Shelton case, a woman who was abused repeatedly by her husband, Scott Shelton. Grissom tried to calm her down after Scott Shelton behaved rudely to Sara. The team hit a block when Grissom determined the age of larvae in Kaye's body did not math the reasonable explanation they had for murder. Sara became very upset because Scott Shelton had committed the crime but CSI could not prove it. Sara went to Grissom: Sidle : [...] You know how you say we're the victim's last voice? (Grissom barely nods) I thought it was our job to speak for Kaye Shelton. Grissom : You don't crunch evidence to fit a theory. Sidle : (her voice cracked a bit) What if you hear the victim's screams? In the car, at the store. Grissom : (calmly)You have empathy for her Sara. You want someone to pay for what was done to her, that's normal. Sidle : (nods. long pause) You wanna sleep with me? Grissom : (surprised, confused pause, removed his glasses) Did you just say what I think you said? Sidle : (tried to act coldly) That way, when I wake up in a cold sweat under the blanket, hearing Kaye's screams, you can tell me it's nothing. It's just empathy. Later Grissom found that the blanket wrapped Kaye could have effected the growth of larvae. He conducted an experiment using dead pig wrapped in the same blanket on Kaye, exposing the pig in the cold night air, recording the changes. Sara went over, brought Grissom blanket and warm drinks. They sat together in the cold night, comparing notes, with a decomposing pig next to them. How romantic. Top
5. Too Tough to Die Another case of woman fell to victim of violence. Again Sara became "emotional" to the case. She worked late and slept in the office. Grissom told her to do something else, and life wasn't all about working. Him, for instance, rode roller coaster occasionally. (*Evie's note: Why do I get this very pathetic feeling?) Sara replied... "I don't like anything [...] and I read crime books and I listen to my scanner." (remember in Blood Drops Sara showed up at crime scene even nobody asked her to.) The tension (bad way) heated up with the "emotion" issue. Sara : I wish I was like you, Grissom. I wish I didn't feel anything. Top
6. Gentle, Gentle Sara : *As Grissom runs off to investigate* Hey, can I come with you? Top
7. Sound of Silence Grissom investigated a murder of a deaf boy. The principle of the special school, Dr. Gilbert, had a special connection to Grissom. Later we learned that Grissom's mother was deaf. When Dr. Gilbert showed up with Grissom, Warrick and Sara were working on the truck. Sidle : I don't like her. Brown : You just don't like other women in [Grissom's] life. Sidle : I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. Top
8. Strip Strangler (season 1 Finale) When Grissom learned that Sara volunteered as bait (FBI's idea), he became VERY concerned. So concerned that he had lost his usual coolness (and, where did that "don't -get-personal" policy go?) (Devanie said: "He stares at her obsessively a few times, and he gets to see her all tarted up."). We seldom saw Grissom freaked out, and this was one of the occasions, for, Sara. After the bait operation failed, Grissom escorted Sara out of the supermarket. Top Season Two
9. Burked A lot less of SG scenes, but they had a very nice Geek Mindmeld moment at the crime scene.
10. Chaos Theory Looking for the whereabouts of a young freshman of UNLV without any luck, Sara and Grissom (and the rest of the team) figured out the chaos theory --- a string of seemingly unrelated events would lead to the result. Sara and Grissom went up to the missing girl's dorm room again tried to reconstruct what happened during the night the girl disappeared. Sara played the role of the girl, and Grissom watched. To Watch: 1)Whenever Grissom and Sara were in Paige's dorm room.2) in the lab 3) Cat/Nick shippers, watch the AV lab scene. 4) OT: Archie fans like Evie: Archie's first appearance as the campus security tech. Top
11. Overload The Pickle. Yep, the one that turned into a light bulb.. Top
12. Scuba Doobie Doo The no-one-else-can-understand-except-for-Sara-and-Grissom talk resumed in this episode. "Think Outside The Box" The dynamic duo almost torn out the whole apartment (literally!) but still could not find the body except for a few beetles. Keeping on tearing down the walls, Grissom was very upset because he could not find the source/nest of the beetles (i.e., where the body was), and he knew that the apartment manager was hiding something. He went out the door to ease his anger, and checked his pulse. Sara followed. Sara: You okay? Grissom: (checking his pulse) 95. Sara: Excuse Me? Grissom: (looking at her, starting to talk very fast) Normallymypulseis70 when it gets to 95 I realized how mad I am... (Sara nods quietly) Grissom: I have 10 people working around the clock on this thing... Sara: (softly) You're too hard on yourself. Grissom: (voice gets higher) No, no! I..I'm not mad at me! There is a body in there and that guy knows where it is! Sara: (nods slightly, looking away, then looking back at him, smiling) What's your pulse at now? Grissom sighed slightly. Sara smiles, looks away, sides, and down.. Sara: (looking down) You wanna... (looking back at him) take a walk around the block? get some air? Grissom: (sighs of relief, smiles, appreciating Sara's offer. shakes his head) No. Sara: Clear your head? Grissom: (exhausted) I'm fine Sara: Okay. She stares/gazes at him for a few seconds longer, He isn't paying attention on her. Sara reaches out, her right hand is on Grissom's face. She rubs (or caresses, depending on how you saw that...) his cheek, and her eyes are fixed, so concentrated that she doesn't seem to care about anything else. Grissom stares at her... (is he jumping out of his skin? or? ) Sara: (no obvious expression on her face) Chalk, from plasters. Grissom: (rubs his own cheek where was just touched by Sara. looking at his hand. chalk? looking at Sara with...) Sara: (looking down) Better go wash up. (She goes back in the house again) Grissom is still in the shock of face-caressing. He wipes his hand (still that one!) on his chin, and then walks back in the house. (*Evie: What can I say? Great Acting! Sara + Griss 4 ever! ) Top
13. "The Pre-Plant ShipArc" The face-touching scene was daring and direct. Shippers online had analyzed a series of the aftermath of the caress. First, Grissom developed GWS (Grissom Withdrawn Syndrom). He started to become isolated from his team, mentally. He might be avoiding Sara; in later cases they seldom work on the same case, and once they did, there was bad vibes. In the Finger, Sara had a date. Although Griss didn't work with her on the case, we believed that he knew. As well for Greg's puppy-love in "Organ Grinder". The Pre-Plant ShipArc --- SDD, Organ Grinder, YGM, The Finger, and BoP --- are a series of episodes that showed the most character progression (and most analyzed) in Season 2. Here are some great posts on TWoP that should not be broken down. Usually they should be combined with one of the post-plant episodes, Prinum Non Nocre due to the huge portion of references. Top
14. Alter Boys The overlooked Geek Mind-meld moment: G: What about the neck? Any fibers in the wound S: You told me to wait for you G: that hasn't stop you yet S: ...I did observed some fibers G: be my guest
15. Ellie Grissom went to roaches-racing, leaving Warrick in charge. Sanders : Don't take it out on me just because you got passed over. Sidle : I didn't get passed over. Sanders : Then what would you call it? Sidle : Grissom. Top
16. Organ Grinder Two women teamed up to get money by 1). poisoning the husband while the other played the secretary 2). selling his organs after he died. Sara had broke the case but no concrete evidences the DA would use to against the women. (the hotel scene) Sidle : No matter how clean or expensive the [hotel] room is, that's why I always travel with NonOxynal9. Grissom : You sound like you're a commercial. (*note to the hotel scene: For the first time Sara didn't catch Grissom. What was "murder central"? She pretended to know it but Grissom knew that she didn't.) Greg told Grissom that he was going out with Sara later (without Sara knowing it was a date, thanks to Catherine). Grissom rolled his eyes, "Not that, Greggo. The case!" Grissom : What's the most important ingredient in a poison? Sidle : ... the poison? Grissom : Patience. (There wouldn't be any actions against the organ grinders. Sara was upset and went out of the CSI building. Grissom went after her. In the parking lot...) Sidle : What are we doing? Digging up graves, chasing prints...if it's no good in court, if the killers win -- Grissom: It isn't a competition. We don't 'win.' The courts are like dice. They have no memory; what works one week won't work the next. Sidle : I know that. I do. I know that. That's why I'm mad. Top
17. You've Got Male Grissom and Sara investigated the death of a woman who almost never went out of her door... Quote Devanie: are completely in each others personal space. I think it was the same way in Chaos Theory. Anyways, there is that completely telling scene where Sara and Grissom are looking at the love emails. She says something akin to "It's easy to wear your heart on your sleeve while you aren't face to face" and then looks away from Grissom. The subtext in that scene was oh so interesting." Sara had been having trouble making eye contact to Grissom since Scuba. The face-to-face dialogue was intriguing up to this point... from the old Shippers' Lab: Except for the "Chalk" scene, the next sensual (and somehow, painful maybe) scene was in YOU'VE GOT MALE, where Sara was checking the victim Donna Marks' emails, with Grissom right besides her. She turned to Grissom and said that Donna was lonely and vulnerable to make cyber-friend, and then she shifted her eyes away from Grissom, as if she was afraid of something deep in her mind --- " It's easier to pull your heart out on your sleeves when you're not eye to eye." Jorja Fox (Sara) was accused of being a less powerful actress, but that scene she had proven that she was just as talented as the others; just the eye work, is one of the memorable moments on TV 2001. Working with Petersen must be a learning experience for her! Sara called someone at the end of the scene. "Do You want to go out, have some coffee?" Rumors had that she called Nick in the original script but the footage was never aired. Top]
18. Identity Crisis old case - Paul Milander came back to haunt Grissom. The whole story is mainly Grissom-centred, but there was a clue for GWS: miss_tess from TWoP: Sara was a part of that case, but he didn't include her to the extent he did the last time. He pushed her away...maybe she did call him [in You've Got Male] and he told her no. There could be nothing. The plot itself was disastrous enough, and personally I don't think Billy had any attention on creating chemistry with Jorja since they had so little scene together. It was all about Grissom facing his own demon. Top
19. The Finger Sara got a date. At first it seemed that Grissom did not know about Hank, or he did not even care, but ... Grissomian Jealousy/Denial? miss_tess from TWoP: ...We've seen the looks Gil throws when people are flirting in front of him. (The "say good-bye to Greg" moment [in PNN] may have been more meaningful than we know). Gil not only pushed her away after the date with Hank, he basically alienated her. Grissom and Sara barely had a scene together. Could this be GWS? "He's just off on his own, avoiding her... I don't think he even makes the usual sort of eye contact with her, and he never talks to her in any real way throughout the ep. He then keeps avoiding her in BoP, basically punishing her for having gone out with Hank." (VIgirl, Mar. 11th, TWoP) Top
20. Burden of Proof The Fury All the GWS had established since SDD, finally reached the boiling point. Sara doubted the leadership of Grissom because he failed to communicate with her (or, you can read it this way: "Do you even give a damn about me? hun? After all I do for you --- flying from San Francisco to be stuck with a boss like you. What was I thinking!")wanted leave of absence, and told Grissom that she *might* pursue FBI in the future (which was just what/who Griss hated the most.) Here came the Grissomian Sheepy Look, which he had used on the "Pin Me" lab tech and Teri Miller. "Is this about the hamburger?" he said. SARA: "How can you reduce everything I've said into some kind of single quirk...Do you think this is just about me ?" ("Things Sara shouldn't say to Grissom" list, entry #2) The whole meat experiments and vegetarian thing was, IMHO, was just a trigger. She had enough. (But thanks for the meat experiment we have the closest Sara-Grissom photo so far! giggle) From the old Shippers' Lab: When Grissom said, "Is this about the hamburger?", I yelled at TV,this is NOT about the hamburger, ???????" (translation: you woodened head! When I got really mad I would start using my first language..)Reminded me about Mulder, Scully and the desk that she never had. Sara, there are still a lot to learn before you go on to FBI. A lot of single-minded guys, worse than Grissom, are waiting for you in the FBI, now. Can't Blame Him For Trying Well, when Grissom said "The LAB needs you," I was like, "my ass, you stone head, it's YOU that needs her". But it's Grissom, what else do we expected? Here is what I wrote in Shipper's Lab on Feb 7th: He wanted her to stay, but couldn't come up with good words-- the lab needs Sara. Em. Lab. Right --- Where he kept his maggots, expired blood experiments, and decomposing ground beef. With Cat's reminder, he speedily dialed and sent flower --- no, living plant ("She loves vegetations?" --- my a**!) ***** You don't threaten to quit (or worse, go to FBI) when your boss did not pay enough attention on you; unless, you have some unanswered feelings for him, and you have tried to read out for so many times but he kept dismissing you (and you know he is always like that.) Speaking from experience, MY DEAR SARA, you are doing the right thing. However, this situation can be easily turned around by one living plant, with a thank you card. Up till this point I wasn't that sure about the whole Sara/Griss Un-Romance here, and Grissomian Denial could be so frustrating sometimes. Then, Cat came to rescue. Let's Move On... Cat approached Grissom with hesitation about Sara, as if this was a personal stuff. When Cat started to say, "Are you in denial? Wow, you got burned deep, hum?" and hinted him to get Sara back. That was it. If Cat put it that way, then it's settled. (he flipped pages of phone book. Was he calling Sara?) Grissom: "Yeah. hi. I'd like to get some flowers for a girl. No, no, Not flowers.... A plant. A living plant, she.. likes vegetation..... Yeah, that'd be fine. To a Sara Sidle. Deliver it at the CSI Division, Las Vegas Police Department, the one out on North Trop Boulevard. Yeah, you can bill me at the same place.she is probably not back to the office!) Grissom: ...Gil Grissom….The sentiment? Oh oh, on the card. Yeah. Uh, uh, have it say… have it say, uh… 'From Grissom.' Thank you."(CSI MADE MY DAY!) miss_tess I just need someone to explain one thing: In the last part when Grissom and Catherine were talking about getting burned, Catherine said, "It happens to everybody. Everybody just moves on." Without missing a beat, or showing any type of emotion, Gil peered over those glasses and said "Let's move on." Why did he want to move on? He obviously didn't want to discuss it. But was he really willing to just let the issue pass? Was he really going to let her go? Billyrocs Just Tuned In posted March 11,2002 7:44:23 PM EST profile email -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some great insight! I think Gris wanted to "move on," because he just doesn't care to talk about those personal things with others. I think he knows what he should do, but it is harder to actually do it. It is much easier to deny those feelings and continue to protect yourself, not let anyone in. Let what happens happen, at least in his personal life, noncomittal, no way to get hurt, protect yourself at all costs. Don't let anyone really know you.... Cath knows him, to some degree, and called him on it, and I think he was just letting her know that he would rather not deal, as is his way, which of course is why Cath persisted, and we saw the outcome of that as the phone call to order a plant for the little lady. Ha. It takes a certain type of person, and relationship, to know when and how much to push another person to get them to come out of their shell and respond to something they know exists, but may find quite frightening, and/or may not have acquired the skills to deal with. Cath is good for Gris, and Gris knows it. allthingsMSR Loyal Viewer posted March 11,2002 7:26:48 PM EST profile email -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loved your post, Miss Tess! I took the "Let's move on" as his not wanting to talk about whatever was in his past. Cat used her bad marriage as a frame of reference. We don't know what Grissom's story is. I think that makes the scene even more telling, because why would he equate his relationship with a past one if there was not the potential for something more? And more interestingly, why would Catherine? She could have been talking in a general way regarding his inability to connect with the living, but then what did he need to deal with before it went away? And why make the gesture only to Sara? That scene is fascinating because Every. Line. is up for debate. What cinched it for me was Cat's facial expressions. That look she gave him as he picked up the phone had nothing to do with respect for the unit, I swear. Top
