thank you very much, forensicsgirl - not having sound really sucks.
Anyhow - I have yet to see Suckers... but... is the whole duct tape thing an intentional continuation or is it just coincidence? I don't really remember any of the other CSI's using it that often.
At any rate, I agree that using Lady Heather as a way of "bringing it out" for everyone would be a little lame. I think a scene I don't want to see is if they're all kind of assembled (Cath, Warrick, The Moustache Formerly Known as Nick, and GS) and she makes some comment to that effect and everyone looks. Too much tension, too unprofessional.
If, however, it was like the "you're losing your hearing" comment, where it's a private conversation, they could use her as a way of revealing it to the audience, and causing him to let us know what he thinks.
But once again we've gotten ahead of ourselves, still assuming that there is a relationship going on. I just think, though, after all of these weird little scenes that if nothing's happening it's all very odd.
