    Looking forward to this episode. The whole Alice in Wonderland thing sounds great and I really like to know what Hodges' mother is like. And how Morgan and Hodges are going to pretend they are a couple....

    I don't think Morgan will participate in that at all. Hodges just wants his mom to think he's dating Morgan. My guess is she's been trying to set him up with her friends' daughters or other relatives and he wants to avoid that. But, he didn't give Morgan a heads up on it, so she probably will be angry with him. I think it sounds like a 90210 type plot and I think it is highly inappropriate for CSI, but that's just me.

    I think the idea of an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding is kind of neat.

    Not a bad ep. But what was the Grissom stuff? No cameo, obviously, but what did Sara talk about? I heard a couple minor exchanges that weren't much, and saw the plant in the end. Did I miss something? I know I saw the majory of it tonight, just missed like 3 minutes while I ran upstairs. I didn't think my Pokemon game distracted me too much but maybe so.

    I liked the ending, even Morgan and Ecklie made a bit of effort.

    Hodges did pretty well this ep, even if Morgan probably didn't like things too much.

    Looks like they tricked us into thinking that William Petersen is back as Grissom in person. It was great episode, I couldnt stop laughing at awkward scene between morgan and hodges in front of their parents XD that was so hilarious ever. heh I gotta love how Sara told Ecklie off about her marriage with Grissom. for that plant got me thinking back to the episode where Grissom sends Sara the plant after Catherine told him to do something about it back in um season 2 or 3 Organ Grinder episode.

    I thought about that ep as well. What did Sara tell Ecklie? Darnit, I always miss something.

    I ejnoyed this one :) Loved Hodges/Olivia's scenes and some GSR

    Way to go Hodges :thumbsup: didn't expect him to grab the gun

    Wouldn't mind seeing Olivia again

    Didn't expect Mogan to participate willing

    Nice Sara and Morgan

    Liked seeing Sara and Ecklie working together

    Glad to see more Morgan and Ecklie

    DB and Finn reminded me of Griss and Cath tonight, we need more A/B cases and separate them, don't get me wrong I'm glad the 2 leads have chemistry because its a huge improvement over the last few years but they need to work with the others or we or at least I will have a harder time accepting them

    Not a lot of Greg :( but he had quality scenes

    The scene with DB and Greg reminded me of Nick and Grissom in King Baby, and Ecklie mentions him and Greg working together but we never see it :( I would have loved to see that

    Grissom gave her a plant :D where did she say he was?

    I can't imagine Sara watching a lot tv

    Couldn't agree with you more about the Grissom thing. No you didn't miss anything. There were 3 references about him--interrogation, Sara and Ecklie investigating the gold, and the plants. I thought it was going to be a lot more--even a cameo. Yup they did trick us :( We got so much more references the last couple of seasons. This is the first time we've heard of him...

    Other than that letdown it was a great episode! I love Alice in Wonderland :) Hodges did an excellent job! His mom was funny, too. I can't get over how Morgan did that. I think she really cares for Hodges. She looked pretty worried when they were tracking the ambulance. Plus I'm sure she was feeling
    guilty.

    Will definitely re-watch!

    OK, thanks. What happened during the gold investigation? That's the part I missed.

    I also agree about the reminder of King Baby with Greg and DB.

    Oh and Nick....CUT YOUR HAIR! eesh.

    Great episode, but WTF is up with Nick???? Between that awful hair and the extra weight, he looks like one of the Wilson brothers after one of their three-month drunk/drug benders. :wtf:

    Sara said something about a tv show, then Ecklie told her she watches too much tv, and she said she has a husband somewhere and works the night shift

    Agreed about Nick's hair

    Haha yes cut the hair!

    Sara made a connection to a tv ad and Ecklie was like how would you know. Sara said I work the night shift and my husband is living abroad. Something to that effect...
