It being a Rambo script, I'm hoping for a little subtle GSR interaction, but I haven't seen any spoilers for that yet...
I think Grissom’s yearning for Sara is real – but the job, and his self-doubts always get in the way. Most crimes are committed between people who already have a close relationship. It’s would be impossible to spend every day investigating those relationships and not think about your own. I try to depict this obliquely, rather than head-on, which I think is more interesting and involving for the viewer. For instance, in Swap Meet, on the bench in the hallway at LVPD, Grissom brings Sara a cup of tea. That he knows she drinks tea says something. The brief conversation that follows is at the same time highly professional and confessionally intimate: they wonder if the husband and wife they’ve just interrogated are truly happy. The next step would be for Grissom and Sara to talk about their own ideas of love and happiness – but Grissom’s phone rings. Once again, work intrudes. I suspect it always will… but you never know.
I’m not going to tell you if it’s ever going to be consummated or not. I don’t know, and I don’t think any of us really knows. This is an example of what a privilege it is to work with actors of intelligence and generosity such as William Petersen and Jorja Fox. What they bring to Grissom and Sara each week continues to surprise and inform us. By paying attention to where they’re going with the characters, and what they do with what we ask them to play, we’ll get a sense of if and how anything develops. Right now, it’s terra incognito, and I rather like that.
