Best Dialog:
Greg: "This is great stuff for my book."
Sara: "Your what?"
Greg: "Oh, this little piece on Vegas history -- stories that didn't make the papers."

My Comment:
He writes a book. Well, doesn´t everyone these days?

Greg inflicts his help on Sara. Is this love or work mania? He is so turning into Gil Grissom who has no life beyond his work as well.

Greg and the new girl - Ronnie. Please don´t go there, writers.

I don´t like that hat he wears. It makes him look unattractive.

Hodges has great moments.

He calls Greg Sherlock Sanders and quotes him "This town was built on dead bodies." Oh dear. How much he likes the former lab boy.

Sara: "Hodges? Here's the problem..."
Hodges: "You know, that's just what Mom says when all I ask is to come home for Thanksgiving."

Hodges: "Do I look like the Ghost Whisperer?"

Hodges: "If this works, I write the paper for the Forensics Journal, sole credit."
Sara: "Deal."
Hodges: "Me and my big mouth."

He compliments Sara...
Hodges: "Hi, Sara. You look like you're having a good day."
Sara: "Thanks."
...and startles her because Grissom had just proposed to her.

Grissom is working on the carp when Hodges walks in and looks over his shoulders.
Grissom: "Yes?" *giggle*
Hodges: "Oh, sorry, just a bad habit from...um...when we worked the Miniature case together."
Grissom: "That was fun, wasn't it?" Really?
Hodges: "I thought so."
Grissom points to the carp.
Grissom: "What do you see?"
Hodges: "Well, those are eggs -- it's a girl."
Grissom opens up the fish.
Hodges: "And those white organs would be gonads. Male and female parts. Simultaneous hermaphroditism? Stop me if you already know this, but some fish do change sex naturally."
Grissom: "Not carp."
Hodges: "I heard of a study when I was attending a forensics consortium in DC. Feminized male bass were found in the wastewater effluent of the Potomac River."
Grissom: "It's the water."
Hodges: "Yeah, it was full of excreted pharmaceuticals and what they called personal care products, all of which supposedly altered the endocrine system of the fish and their young."
Grissom: "Good, Hodges. Well, now that we're working together again..." LOL!!!
Grissom opens the cooler and takes a carp out. He puts it on Hodges’ outstretched hand.
Grissom: "...take at least two organ samples along with blood. Send them with these water samples to our clinical lab for hormone quants."
Grissom puts the tray of water vials in Hodges’ other hand. He leaves the room.
Hodges: "You got it, partner."
Hodges is left holding the carp. O boy! Grissom is up to every trick, is he?
