Re: Grissom&Sara #20 - Who Cares? The Shirt's Coming Off Any

However, now the geeks are a couple, I don’t want internal angst. What do I mean? Well, I don’t want any angst to be the result of any of the following:
1) One of the geeks having doubts about the relationship
2) One of the geeks worrying about whether or not the other geek will grow tired of them/leave them
3) One or both of the geeks becoming insanely jealous for any reason (everyone may have the jealousy gene, but if this is expressed in anything more than a brief look, followed by a collective sigh of relief from the gutter when it turns out to be nothing, then I’ll be greatly annoyed)
So for the poll, I voted for the third option – if we’re going to have angst as a result of this relationship, I want it to be as a result of an
Outside influence, not coming from within the relationship at all. I think, most likely, it’ll be from Ecklie and/or the Sheriff, worried about the political repercussions of Grissom having a relationship with one of his subordinates. I don’t want the plot line to take over the season – maybe if we get a hint of it once or twice early on in the season and then, towards the middle, it blows up in one ep. Maybe a defense attorney finds out? Maybe the
fit hits the shan within the department only? Maybe its why Grissom ends up having some time off so that WP can go off for 5 weeks and do
A Dublin Carol?
What I’d LOVE to see if Ecklie going on about the ethics of the lab and that he can’t be a supervisor and date one of his CSIs. And so Grissom shrugs and says
”Fine”
ECKLIE: What do you mean, fine?
GRISSOM: Well, if I can’t be a supervisor and date one of my CSIs, then I guess there’s only one thing to do…
ECKLIE: I’m glad you’re being rational about this.
GRISSOM: So I guess I have to quit.
ECKLIE: WHAT!?!? --- No, Grissom, I thought… You’d quit? Are you… are you crazy?
GRISSOM: No. But I’d be crazy to walk away from the first good thing to happen in my life in years. If it comes down to a choice between Sara and this lab, there’s only one way it will go.
ECKLIE: (backpedaling rapidly) Gil, I believe I’ve said in the past that… your position in this lab elevates its status in the eyes of the entire country. If you leave… Well… um… maybe there’s another solution…

Regarding the beard situation – I’m a beard girl and I’m living in hope it’ll make a re-appearance by the season premiere…
In saying that, I do love the scenarios you guys are coming up with for people making comments about the lack of the beard, and the idea of Cath saying something to him or she and Sara having a conversation about it…

Alyssa, I love your idea for Catherine already knowing about the relationship – I’d love to hear a running commentary from her during season 7 – just little quippy comments, thrown in the direction of the geeks, with a hint of sarcasm, a whole lot of humor, and quite a bit of affection for them. Because no matter her own feelings about office relationships (given how her romance with Warrick hasn’t gotten off the ground (yet – again, I live in hope)) I doubt she’d begrudge Grissom & Sara their happiness, given how long she knows its taken them to get here.

Anyways, I'd love for Nick to ask Sara something like, "You didn't pull a Warrick, did you?" Teehee! Continuity and a funny line. I'll take it.
You are AWESOME
I would love some good natured teasing to happen between Nick & Sara regarding the relationship. Doesn’t have to be a big long scene – just a line or two that lets us (and Sara) know that Nick knows, and if we get funny in the mix as well? So much the better. The only way to make it EVEN better than that is something like…
NICK: (Smirking) So… you and Grissom, huh?
SARA: Mm-hmm…
NICK: Mm-hmm? That’s all I get?
(She raises an eyebrow mysteriously)
NICK: That whole enigmatic thing is really starting to rub off on you, isn’t it.
(She doesn’t say anything. Silence for a moment while Nicky thinks)
NICK: You didn’t pull a Warrick, did you? Cuz if you two got married without telling us…
SARA: Oh please. This from the guy that’s been living with Greg for three years!
NICK: (spluttering) That’s… It’s not… How can you… We’re not… Who told you?!? What… We’re NOT talking about me, here…
:lol:

Yeah, I really want to see the trio of boys finding out. And I want money to change hands afterwards. Like they all pretend to be shocked and then it's: "Okay, who had today in the pool?"
God, if they don’t all have money on these two, I will be SO shocked. :lol:
