Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H
HOld your horses! There's a little more GC one-on-one in Spark of Life, so wait until I get to it!!! They're old-married-couplish, finishing the other's thoughts!
First of all, after two very dull episodes, I kind of liked this episode. The story wasn't all that great, but you had two separate cases that eventually converge into one. This eventually brings our two supervisors on an equal level and working nicely.
* --the beginning--
Gil finds the second body down the hill, and her eyes flutter open - CREEPY!!!
* --Greg in the hospital--
Greg, the newbie CSI, in charge of collecting trace from the burn victim. Oh so heartbreaking. Eric did a wonderful job in this episode...so compassionate, yet trying to keep his composure with the horrors that he's seeing for the first time.
* --Cath's case--
WARRICK: Why didn't they pull her out?
BRASS: They couldn't get in the backyard gate. Childproof lock.
CATH: No key, no access.
WARRICK: Her parents protected that kid to death.
CATH: Where the hell were they?
BRASS: Home.
Awwww Cath, don't jump to conclusions right away (yeah right!)
* --Cath/Warrick walk through the house--
The blood dripping onto the table - ewwwwwww! I'm amazed at how the actress (dead woman) never allowed her eyes to flinch, even when the light was shone directly onto them. Then you see Cath still in "mother mode" when she & Warrick go up the stairs:
WARRICK: Lots of pictures of the kid. Family revolved around the child, huh?
CATH: Yeah, way should be.
* --the search at the top of the hill--
GRISSOM: What's that?
SARA: Possible accelerant.
GRISSOM: Or possible martini.
SARA: I didn't think you could smell vodka.
GRISSOM: Well, that depends on how long it was distilled.
SARA: Cheap stuff.
GRISSOM: Ironically, the word for vodka comes from the Russian phrase zhizennia voda. "Water of life."
Oh Gil, stop using big words around Sara. She's already impressed with you (dumbass!)
* --another Cath wisecrack--
CATH: Let me guess: Gun was clean.
WARRICK: No, it was registered to Morgan Stewart.
NICK: So, what, we're looking at a murder-suicide? Guy kills his family and then turns the gun on himself?
WARRICK: Well, you know it's a possibility. Brass pulled his financials. Morgan Stewart was in debt up to his eyeballs. He was in danger of losing his house.
CATH: Never underestimate the fragility of the male ego.
Ahhh, that's my girl! Cut 'em down to size, hun! Love Nick & Warrick's expressions after that comment - like WTF?
* --Mia teaches--
MIA DICKERSON: You talk the talk, but did you know the frequency of that anomaly is one in every 250?
GRISSOM: I learn something new every day around here.
See Gil, even after knowing all of the big words, you still learn something else from a woman!
* --a pep talk for Greg--
SOFIA: Hey.
GREG: Hey.
SOFIA: What's the problem?
GREG: Nothing. I'm fine.
SOFIA: You're not.
GREG: I feel like a wuss. Grissom told me I should take a break, and I did.
SOFIA Your burn victim.
GREG: How do you get an image like that out of your mind?
SOFIA: You go home. You, uh ... hug your cat, your dog, your pillow. You have a beer, you watch a movie, and then you come back tomorrow.
GREG: Is that supposed to make me feel better?
SOFIA: Rumor has it you used to be a pretty funny guy. Don't lose that.
I really liked this scene. however, a big part of me keeps thinking this should have been a Cath and Greg scene. But I guess they needed at least a small Sofia appearance.
* --Cath/Hodges--
CATH: It's hard to look and not touch, isn't it?
HODGES: That poor kid has been working her tail off. Only fair, considering how DNA gets most of the glory these days.
CATH: Have something for me?
HODGES: Of course.....The dark hairs you found on Morgan Stewart's bed were not a match to his wife. Pretty bold, to bring another woman into his matrimonial bed.
Begging to get caught.
CATH: Well, so far, you haven't told me anything I didn't already know.
HODGES: This is the broken glass and paper found on the floor of the master bedroom.
CATH: Uh, looks like a thermometer.
HODGES: Yes, but what kind?
CATH: Do tell.
HODGES: Notice how the gradations are broken down by tenths of a degree?
CATH: Yes. And most thermometers aren't that specific.
HODGES: Correct. It's a BBT, a Basal Body Temperature thermometer, used by women to pinpoint a temperature spike that occurs ...
CATH: ... during ovulation. I know. It maximizes your chance of conception. So ... Corinne Stewart, I guess, was trying to have another baby.
HODGES: With no clue as to what her husband was doing when she was out of the house.
Is it just me, or does it seem that Hodges is trying to flirt with Cath every single time they're together. It's fun to see how Cath just humors him most of the time.
* --finally together--
CATH: Tara Matthews' DNA in Morgan Stewart's bed.
GRISSOM: We're working the same case.
Awwwww, maybe the divorce/separation is over? Gil's smirk is so cute. It's funny how their eyes light up again when they realize they're now working together. Up to this point, things between Cath & Gil seemed still a bit strained, or too formal. I think this is the point where things between the two are lightened up and they get back to being the cute couple they are.
* --they get caught up--
Ok, this scene's too long to post, but I love where the two teams talk out their cases for each other. The two supervisors and their seconds in command. Gil and Sara, Cath & Warrick. You see the old camraderie and easy flow of talking things out, each just jumping in and communicating as well as internally processing everything that's being said.
* --Here's your GC--
GRISSOM: You found a basal thermometer at the Stewart house?
CATH: Yeah. It was crushed on the master bedroom floor. Why?
GRISSOM: I found one in Tara Matthews' vanity drawer.
CATH: I was just looking at Corinne Stewart's autopsy report. Uh ... she had a tubal ligation, so ... she obviously wasn't trying to have kids.
GRISSOM: Tara was.
Ahhhhhhh! First of all...the glasses *thud*, secondly...it's so cute how Gil knocks on her door, even though he's halfway into her office by the time she looks up. Third...their smiles are back!!!
* --after a commercial break,the scene continues--
CATH: So it's been confirmed. Tara Matthews is pregnant.
GRISSOM: Third-degree burns on most of her body and she doesn't miscarry?
CATH: A mother's body is designed to protect her baby. I don't know, all that trauma and morphine ... it'll be a miracle if she brings it to term.
GRISSOM: Do we have any idea who the father is?
CATHERINE: Too early to tell. She's just a few weeks pregnant.
GRISSOM: Okay, we know that Morgan and Tara were having sex. The broken basal thermometer we found in the bedroom implies that she was trying to conceive with him, and not her husband.
CATH: Neal could've been shooting blanks.
GRISSOM: Well, medical records will confirm that.
CATH: And Neal and Morgan were best friends ...
GRISSOM: ... somebody she may have felt comfortable with.
CATHERINE: Neal catches Morgan in bed with his wife ... And now, he knows where the best friend keeps his gun.
GRISSOM: The glass in Neal's shoe just puts him at the scene. We didn't find any blood on the clothes we recovered from his house.
CATH: Clothes are easy to dump. The glass was an oversight; he didn't even know it was there.
GRISSOM: Or maybe he didn't kill anybody.
CATH: Which leaves Tara.
GRISSOM: There was no blood on her clothes either. At least nothing at the house. And the clothes she was wearing went up in flames.
CATH: Not everything.
**squee** my PureJoy is back!! And they're even having a sex talk!!
* --final scene--
The burned lady opens her eyes in the hospital - CREEPY (again)
)
