Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do Without H
Coolc - don't get me started on JW/MO movies! I LOVE all 5. (TQM was the best) Those two were great pals off-screen too (as were their families).
Sorry, sorry, back on topic (I said, don't get me started!)
After NHI, we've got Who shot sherlock
* --Greg's final proficiency--
(Will he make it successful?) How appropo that it's about Sherlock Holmes. Seems more of a Gil Grissom episode than one for Greg. I really like the Sara/Greg interaction in this one. Here you get to see Sara teaching Greg a bit more that Gil does.
* --will he say it again?--
GREG: So, are you going to say, "the game's afoot"?
GRISSOM: I didn't know you were a Conan Doyle fan, Greg.
GREG: I'm not. I saw a Sherlock Holmes movie once by mistake.
GRISSOM: Well, just so you know ... those movies never ended like this.
Of course he won't say that phrase again. That was a PureJoy line in the teaser of PMJ
* --Nick/Warrick's case--
Blah! Unmemorable. The guy who ends up being electrocuted while driving his jeep over a downed powerline.
* --Doc doesn't always know?--
ROBBINS: Unless some other evidence comes to light, I'm done. Sometimes I can't tell you why they die.
* --Cath/Conrad round 1--
CONRAD: Swing shift's short a couple of bodies.
CATH: Yes, and when is that going to change?
CONRAD: Not anytime soon -- Catherine, there are budget constraints. You'll have to prioritize.
WARRICK: Should we come back?
CONRAD: No, no, no, come on in. So, how's your, uh, your surfer dude case?
WARRICK: Uh, the victim's roommate admits they got high together, but denies being in the jeep at the time of the accident. At this point, we can't place him there.
NICK: Brakes on the jeep were functioning. The driver should've been able to stop.
CATH: Any signs of foul play?
NICK: No. Something's not right.
CONRAD: All right, nothing suspicious and no crime's committed? Put the case to bed. I'm sure your supervisor can keep you busy. Close it.
WARRICK: Sounds like he's more concerned with getting it done than getting it right.
CATH: Are you guys satisfied?
NICK: We don't have an answer.
CATH: Then get one.
WARRICK: What about Ecklie?
CATH: My problem, not yours
Awww. Me loves Cath in sympathetic supervisor mode. We all know Cath will wrap Ecklie around her little finger the way she always does.
* --watch it wiggle/see it jiggle--
CATH: What ... what is going on?
NICK: We're finishing up the case.
CATH: Do you know how much ballistic gel costs?
WARRICK: I didn't know you did.
CATH: I just thought you guys were gonna go over your notes, look over the case file.
WARRICK: Well, hold on now. We found electrical burn marks on the roll bar and the jeep's undercarriage. And we found blown out fuses on the instrument panel and the starter. That would explain why the jeep wasn't running.
NICK: Yeah, we called Nevada Power, and they confirmed there was a downed power line the day of the accident.
CATH: So, you're saying the victim was electrocuted?
NICK: Yeah.
WARRICK: So we replaced the fuses, we connected the jeep to a power source, and we hooked up gelatin man here to a meter.
CATH: Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, I get it. Well, you're gonna need at least six milliamps to prove your theory.
NICK: I'm on it.
* --bossy cath?--
CATH: So I know that I've never said this to you guys before, but ... hide the evidence.
NICK: Thanks for getting our back.
CATH: We're a team, guys.
WARRICK: Oh, since we're a team, you gonna help us clean up?
NICK: Yeah.
CATHERINE: (laughs) No. I'm the boss.
* --Uh-oh/Cath-Conrad round 2--
CONRAD: I thought you told me you closed the Cory Demayo case. Catherine, nothing happens in this lab that I don't know about.
CATH: Then I'm sure you know the case is now closed.
CONRAD: Did I make a mistake promoting you?
CATH: Yeah, you should have given me the day shift. But I'm making it work.
She always charms him in the end, doesn't she?
* --did Greg make it?--
NICK: Hey, Greg, Grissom wants to see you.
WARRICK: Like now, in his office.
(Greg goes to Gil's office)
GREG: Grissom. You wanted to see me.
(finds the dummy sitting in the chair with "you passed" written on his chest. Turns around to see the gang cheering him)
CATH: Well done.
CONRAD: Congratulations, Sanders. Good work.
GREG: Thank you.
CONRAD: Okay, gang, there's people to put in jail. Let's get back to it, shall we? Come on, come on, now. Party's over. Let's go.
NICK: Good job.
GREG: I don't get it. I got the wrong guy, the wrong manner of death.
GRISSOM: I don't expect you to be correct in all your interpretations all the time. You collected the evidence. You thought there was something missing, you went back and found it. Hey, that's the job. Congratulations, Greg.
GREG: Thank you.
Awwwww. The last scene is just so cute. Even though they're on different shifts now, you know they still care very much about each other, and want to participate in their joys (& sorrows). It's interesting to me at the very end how Gil still stays in his office while the others are having champagne. I'm sure he's looking at them like the rest of us are - they may not be on the same shift anymore, but they're still a team. Actually, let me re-phrase that - they're still a family
