Sara in emotion shock. All the more moving for the surprise. Can we hope for more of this from Sara?

Really good episode. I like how they attach that whole aspect about getting to attached to a victim or each case.
CathWillows81 07 May 2005  Vote: 10/10
Loved this episode becuase of the Catherine/Eddie scene...and how Gris stepped in for her! Hated the plot with Sara...she gets way to over emotional and too attached to female victims of abuse...it's too predictable and unoriginal.

This episode nearly made cry near the end!loved the Cath, Grissom and Eddie scene. Griss is alway's really protective of Catherine and the rest of his team though so...

Great episode! The Sara/Gil conversation and the Cath/Gil/Eddie scenes were extremely well done. Cath taking the picture of Warrick bending over the dummy is priceless!
