Too bad we have no promo pictures for this episode. It looks like this will be D.B.-centric, his outside life seems so contrasting from most of the other CSI's, so it will be interesting to learn a little more about it. I wonder if his son will pay a visit to the lab, or if the whole storyline involving him will all be happening outside of work.
Does he just have one son, or did the writers change anything in terms of how many kids he has? just curious.

Glad Sara is in this one :)!!
 
Maybe they'll release some on Monday like they did with F&G

DB has 4 kids :)

I assume we're going to find out what's up with Vartllows since Vartann is back

Glad Sara is back too, hope there's a nice amount of time for this week
 
hope you're right Sharp :), about the promo pictures :).

I was wondering when Vartann would show up again, it's been way too long :). I'm a little apprehensive about what's going to happen though between him and Catherine, considering the spoilers for her exit.

I also hope everyone's screen time is more balanced in this episode.
 
From CBS: CSI page
Who is Taking Over?
Jorja Fox and Eric Szmanda are taking over the CBS Facebook and Twitter feeds for CSI today! See what they've got planned and get an inside look at your favorite show!

They might be posting spoilers for tonight's ep, so I thought I would post it here.
 
DB: We've got a math problem here.
Brass: I was never very good at Math. (Join the club, Brass lol)

DB: This is gonna be fun.

DB: For the record, how long is "like five minutes"?
Charlie: Three hours, give or take. (LOL, kids!)

LOL at Hodges making noises at the video screen. "some people are video, some are audio. I happen to be both". LOL.

I liked Russell's story and how Nick called him "Russ".

"Hello, Brain Doe".

Greg in a suit. Court time again? ... Yep, thought so.

Hello again, Sheriff.

Oh, here comes the new job offer for Cath.

Vartann. :)

No mention of them having been together. Seems like old interaction before they got together. They better not be pulling that thing here where they pretend the relationship never happened. :sigh: It's so weird when they do that.

"See what happens when you break pattern?" LOL, I love Sara's little smirk when Greg said that.

DB: Vacations can be stressful.
Jim: I wouldn't know.
DB: Aww! (LOL)

Hodges to Sara: Please don't ruin my lunch.

Sara: Not even real chicken in there. (LOL)

Victor Webster. :drool: Let me guess, he's the bad guy in this episode? He was in his CSI: Miami episode and his Criminal Minds episode, so... Not real crazy about the flat hairstyle on him though.

Somehow I saw it coming that the supposed suicide would end up having been a murder.

DB: His brain might confirm all this if we can just get it to pee in a cup. :guffaw:

Drugs hidden inside a football. Interesting hiding place.

The boy shot his father. I saw that coming when he said his dad threw him down the stairs.

So this job is in DC. Guess we know that will be the end of Catherine and Vartann.

Well, that depends on if she takes the job. And even if she does, Griss and Sara are doing the long distance thing, so I don't see why Cath and Lou couldn't as well.

Yes, but tptb have given us that Sara and Griss do live together and he travels.

And yeah, it could work, but they usually don't. I'm all for them being together. :)
 
I like that Catherine's possible exit is a step up, not just burning out and quitting. Not sure what's going on with her and Vartann anymore though. :rolleyes: I do hope he stays on the show, because I like him as a character himself, not just as part of that relationship.

I got a bit confused with tonight's episode - I'll definitely have to watch it again when I can pay more attention (catching up on today's Facebook videos :)). I lost track of which brain was which. :lol:
 
wow I didn't expect that was coming at all at end of the episode. I figured it was Mrs. Dempsey for killing her hubby at beginning. Hmm something about that scene between Catherine and lady sheriff and she gives Catherine the card, I had a theory that card could be significant meaning that would be possibly lead up to Catherine's exit.
