I Have An "LV" Episode/Character Question *NO Spoilers* P2

I was actually replying when I noticed PC was replying too :lol:. Yes, you made sense

 

Here's another question to stump. In a couple of episodes Greg talks about his Papa Olaf or Uncle Olaf. Is Papa/Uncle Olaf Swedish? Dutch? Or is it Icelandic?

 

None of the above; Papa Olaf is Norwegian, as expressly mentioned in (I think) "Let The Seller Beware"

 

I know that Greg was promoted to CSI level-1 in Who Shot Sherlock? and to CSI level-3 in 19 Down but I don't think that it has ever been mentioned in an episode that he's a CSI level-2.Is this correct?

 

This is a random question but I'm sure you guys/gals will figure it out. I've read in a couple of fanfics that Cath used to be addicted to drugs but I've seen most of the episodes dealing with Cath and I don't remember that ever being said or addressed. If you know anything about this could you tell me what episode it came from? Thanks in advance.

 

Actually, Catherine did have a cocaine addiction (which is where the fanfics get it) and I believe it has been referred to on the show. However, I can't think of what episode(s) that did. It was probably one of the earlier ones.

 

Catherine never had drugs problems.Her husband used to have.

 

There are references, early on, that suggest otherwise. Mostly, I think they're in season 1, but I can give you a couple of specific references from other seasons:

Firstly, in s2's Organ Grinder, she gets extremely...coy with Nick over how she knows the dandruff isn't cocaine just by looking.

Secondly, in s3's Last Laugh, she's incredibly vehement on the subject of whether you can (or can't) OD on cocaine via penal absorption. (ye gads that was a phrase I didn't think I'd need when I got up this morning!)

Which is all pretty circumstantial but it does suggest she at the very least has a pretty intimate knowledge of the drug.

More damning is this line from Too Tough To Die:
Eddie Willows: Yeah, and who paid to close up your nose?

In the context of the conversation, I can't imagine Eddie's talking about a procedure to stop snoring, somehow...

So, while I don't think it's ever explicitly stated that Catherine did drugs or had a drug problem, it IS pretty heavily implied.

 

Yes she did. It is part of her character's description, that she briefly had a drug problem. This was before she became a CSI.

 

Woah, I didn't think that would be a question to have speedystokesgirl, Athersgeo, Grissom rules, and sharp52092 to answer. Maybe I should come up with questions at 3 am more often. Thanks for the answers everyone.
