Episode Title: (#610) "Still Life"

THE CSI TEAM INVESTIGATES THE KIDNAPPING OF A BOY FROM A LOCAL PARK WHERE THERE IS A SUSPICIOUS LACK OF EVIDENCE.


"Still Life" -- The lack of evidence in a reported kidnapping case leads Grissom and his team to wonder if the case is fabricated.

Without substantial evidence, the CSIs begin to wonder if a kidnapping actually took place at all. But when the child turns up unharmed at a local convenience store with a couple claiming to be his parents, Grissom and his team must use what little forensic evidence is available to solve the mystery of what actually happened to the first mother's son.

Okay, over at TVGuide.com, the description for this eppy also says that Kelly Gordon VISITS Nick....what the heck?

Does that mean she's already out on parole and we won't ever see that scene that was cut from Shooting Stars? I will be incredibly bummed if that's the case. *whimper, whine*
 
That wouldn't be the first rather essential scene that got cut. They have so many questions unanswered this season.

Maybe they can't use the same exact scene (the court room scene might be too lengthy and detract from the rest of the episode). But having Kelly Gordon visit Nick could still result in him learning about her parole, the tape, Grissom knowing about the tape, etc., and still lead up to the big Nick-Grissom scene that y'all are anxious for. I guess it all depends on what she tells Nick when she sees him and how he reacts to it.

Very true...it's just that part of me was hoping to see Nick's face when he heard the tape played during the parole hearing.

I guess his expression will be just a dramatic when he sees Kelly Gordon at his front door or stroll into the CSI Lab or however they plan to do it.

I'm on pins and needles now until next Thursday. *sigh*

And the rest of the case looks pretty interesting too. :D

You have a good point there, AngelEyez...hmm...ooh..maybe she gets permission to visit him before the trial...i could be wrong...i have NO idea how these court things work.
 
Actually the whole GD storyline has been expanded in a sense. Kelly is in two eppys, including eppy "Daddy's Little Girl" so as much as I'd like to see the courtroom scene, this whole post GD thing will contiune to another eppy, I think this is the "first" step in the atory arc.
I want to know hwo the hell she visits him? At the lab? Wooah mamma if she does that..if not how the hell does she find his home address?

If so, yea, for us fanfic writers to gain any insight into whether Nick moved after "Stalker".

Heck, I would like to see Kelly Gordon try and visit Nick in the lab--there probably won't be any of her left by the time Warick is thorugh with her!!!!Lol!
 
Not just Warrick, Sara would probably take a flying leap and tackle her. Sara does have quite the temper, and I'd hate to get her on bad side.
 
Show description reads, in part:

<<< Grissom and his team must use what little forensic evidence is available to solve the mystery of what actually happened to the first mother's son. >>>

Judging by the video at this link, it looks like the investigation is going to stir up some childhood memories of his own for Grissom.

Well, remembering the glares she was shooting while interviewing Kelly in GD, I'd say Sara would me pretty p***ed if she saw Kelly anywhere near Nick.

ETA: TVFan1969 - I dont know if you're allowed to post that link but thx for sharing. It was a great clip, Im glad they're finally giving us some back story into Grissom's life.

This ep sounds really good. Was reading that this is also supposed to take an emotionally indepth look into how the CSIs on the case view life which should be interesting.

My money is on the couple claiming to be the kid's parents as the kidnappers. That way they pass it off as if nothing happened so they think they get off scott free and get to keep the kid so it's a package deal.
 
^I wouldn't put any money on it just yet. We all know CSI has a thing for throwing in twists just to throw us off.
