Best Dialog:
Sara: "Tell me this is raw chicken skin."
Greg: "Well, it's raw ... and it's definitely skin."

Grissom: "Greg."
Greg: "Yeah?"
Grissom: "I need you to take off your shoes and socks."
Greg: "See, now we're getting into this whole strip forensics thing and I'm not so sure I can hang with that even if you are my boss."
Grissom: "Your mother's maiden name is Hojem, correct? Hojem is Norwegian?"
Greg: "Yeah. And you know, my grandfather got tossed from Norway for getting my grandmother pregnant before they got married. To this day, he still tells me "som man reder sa ligger man."----"One must lie in the bed one has made."
Grissom: "That's true. Right foot first, please."
Greg: "Now, you're sure you want me to do this? Things could get loud in here."
Grissom: "Left foot."
Greg: "So you want to tell me why we're doing this?"
Grissom: "It's an experiment."

Greg: "What did you do to me?"
Grissom: "You had a reaction."
Greg: "I'm Hazmat meat. Quarantine, here I come."
Grissom: "Your right foot, I swabbed with a placebo, regular tap water."
Greg: "Yeah, well, I'm not worried about the right foot."
Grissom: "Left foot ... eumycotic dermatitis."
Greg: Oh, great. It's probably fatal."
Grissom: "It's a mildew-induced skin rash."
Greg: "You infected me with mildew?"
Grissom: "Here. Hydrocortisone. Follow the directions, clear it right up."

My Comment:
Terrific. I love Greg in this episode. Finally we see him pretty angry. Not angry at anyone but the big boss Gil Grissom. What is more important, he has every right to be angry. Grissom behaved completely out of line here. Worse, he didnīt get the point when he gave Greg some medicine. Greg is very devoted to Grissom and Grissom knows that. This is a matter of trust. Grissom broke this trust by using Gregīs body without letting him know what he is doing to him. Thatīs really mean.
In spite of this these moments are so very, very slashy. Oh dear.
Itīs great to learn something about Gregīs background. Plus, it awed Greg that Grissom knows about his family.

Greg and Sara. A few nice moments interrupted by a very disgusting case.

He looks absolutely stunning. His hair is perfect.
