They talk about her past life as a dancer. Suddenly Grissom is standing behind Greg. Catherine sees Grissom and clears her throat. Greg turns around and finds himself face to face with Grissom.

Best Dialogs:
Nick: "What up, G?"
Sara: "You're awake. I hate you."
Greg: "A couple of glasses of merlot. Rack of lamb on my day off. I slept like a baby yesterday. You look horrible."
Sara: "Thanks, Greg."
Nick: "Don't look at me. I've got 'sunshine' all night."
........................................................

Sara: "Everything has to be in CODIS ASAP."
Greg: "Oh, is that all? I want to know who's going to authorize my overtime?"
Sara: "Suck it up, Greg. You're well-rested."
Greg: "You want a valium for her?"
Sara: "I heard that."

Catherine: "You want to take that thing off your head, Greg? It's evidence."
Greg: "Cool your jets, Cath. I already got all the evidence out of it. Now...it's all woman. Did you ever wear one of these when you were dancing?"
Catherine: "I wore nothing but skin."
Greg: "Ooh."

My Comment:
It happened. Iīm in love. Iīm tapping. Greg won my heart. He is completely adorable.
A great episode for shippers.

1. Greg and Grissom. The look of Grissom when Greg asks for a raise - superb. His total bafflement when he caught Greg with the headpiece on. Gregīs nervousness which is still present when Grissom talks to him later. But Grissom isnīt angry just a little grim. He even slightly teases Greg. That surprised me.

2. Greg and Sara. A lot of teasing and flirting. But itīs not yet obvious he has a crush on her.

3. Greg and Catherine. When Greg asks for the raise she eases the situation diplomatic and forestalls Grissomīs anger. Greg flirts frankly with her but she just teases him.

4. Greg and Nick. Greg teases Sara but he smiles at Nick. Nick calls Greg "G". Cute.

The way he says "Now... it's all woman" about the headdress. So...slashy.

The best episode of the 1. Season for me.
