The Good, the Bad and the Dominatrix
Yeah, from what Brass said, he definately knows about Grissom and Sara, and that is great! I love the idea of him knowing and that maybe Grissom confided in him.
I really enjoyed some aspects of this episode. I loved seeing Catherine gossiping with Sara (or at least trying to, Sara wasn't so forthcoming) and Catherine at odds with Grissom and his hypocritical attitude.
One thing I was really interested in seeing in this episode was some interaction between Sara and Heather. This didn't disappoint, and actually went how I thought it would. Sara was almost deferential to her, which was interesting. What was more telling, and maybe a little strange in my opinion, was that Grissom and Sara had obviously never spoken about her. Sara seems fairly content with her lot though, and must be able to read Grissom fairly well, and like most of us, can understand his oddities and need to help Heather even when the rest of the CSI's and Brass probably wouldn't. It's still a highly unusual and difficult relationship to make believable, because Sara's reactions and contentment or acceptance of Grissom's odd and, dare I say, unnatural behaviour, is just hard to figure out.
The episode did manage to put to bed some loose ends from the previous LH episodes. Namely, that Grissom hasn't seen her since, and that she did go to jail, even if it wasn't for very long. But, obviously there were some flaws to the episode too, or at least there are things that I just don't understand!
Firstly, and rather bizarrely in my opinion, they decided to bring LH back in a strange episode centering on her granddaughter. Now, I was under the impression that Zoe had put the baby up for adoption (as was said in the psycho doctor's notes from Pirates of the Third Reich), so why there was a custody battle I don't know? Secondly, Zoe's father didn't even know he had a daughter until after she had died, so how exactly did he get custody of his granddaughter? Anyway, so because of this Heather decides to essentially kill herself to raise money? Or because she is so devastated? It's all a bit strange to me...
The other thing that struck me as odd (and it's a bit stupid I know, but it annoyed me), why in the morning when Brass turns up is she still wearing that dress, when later on (when Grissom turns up with the child) she is wearing perfectly normal clothing? :lol: Unless the point is that she and Grissom sat up talking all night, and to make sure we don't get confused into thinking that they were up to something else... Still, you'd have thought she would have changed!
Normally I'm the biggest advocate of a two case episode, but this time I think the focus should have been completely on the one case. The B case was just lost in the background, and it really didn't hold my interest apart from the feeling that Nick is still disallusioned with the job and that we found out that Doc Robbins is fostering puppies! So cute!
Whoa! This post is longer than I thought it would be. Nevermind, it's the finale on Tuesday so I'm very excited!
