As far as her leaving in a taxi or her car, I'd take a taxi as well, who'd pick up her car? and sometimes I wonder if fans watch the same show as others do. For some, it seems their constant hints looks/smiles were subtle, and to others mezmorizing. As far as them and their "relationship" they've been together by Grissoms own announcement to Ecklie for "9 years" in the "CARP" ep. he just kept it hidden private and a secret, for obvious reasons. It was hardly out of the blue! to me, and others it was done beautifully by the awesome writers.. brilliant.. I know others would be devastated if one of their favorite characters was leaving. a part of the heart of CSI will be gone,
and in this week's TV Guide , it comments
how much their alike from the "Dead Doll" ep. stating their both "loners" & survivors. It actually gives a 8 yr. timeline of them & their relationship including pictures
and it isn't a tragedy, for her to take a break, it has nothing to do with them, after all didn't he leave for 4 week's on a sabbitical? and she survived, he will too. for me, and many GSR fans, I've never seen a coupling so perfect together on TV. Maybe she's wanting to go see her mom, or something else more then we know as of now, and guess will find out, soon. It's another different approach to this always fascinating show, we never know what's happening next
