The "jewels" comment was when the guy asked his friend to hit him to cover the fact they lost the money.
Eric was just so good in this, it is by far my favorite episode of the season, and not just for the Greg storyline, which on it's own would put it at the top of my list, but the scenes in it were just so good, that scene with Grissom visiting him, it was just perfect, perfectly acted..and it's still killing me that Greg is afraid to tell his parents that he's out in the field. But the sight of Greg on the ground all by himself, after the beating and the next day until Sara got there, it was just so hard to watch that.
Just seeing Greg all bruised like that, his nose has to be broken, everyone is pissed, and they should be, not only is Greg an innocent and didn't deserve that, no one who was beaten did and the worst part those fools who did it thought it was a joke.
Eric was just wonderful in this from the parts where Greg was so excited about nailing the testimony in court-looking ever so adorable in that suit, to even during the beating--which the part where he's trying to crawl away still makes me cringe and will continue to do so--I hate seeing the kicking, really it makes me shudder--to the hospital, Greg trying to eat and seeing the guy die and his mother's reaction..all of it wonderful. Eric was just fantastic.
And seeing Nick just so pissed off, Warrick's smooth move taking that fools cell phone away, Sara comforting Greg, Grissom talking to him, there were just so many highlights.
As painful as it was to watch this episode, it was worth it.
