Grissom's greatest hits (II)
Nine seasons make for a lot of memories. Review the evidence to find out why Grissom worked his way into the hearts and minds of CSIs and viewers alike.
Season 5, Episodes 24-5: Grave Danger
'I want my guys back.'
'It was Christmas in Las Vegas, when the locals take the town...' and one unlucky CSI gets buried underground. A fatherly Grissom turns his entomology know-how into ant-nav, saving Nick 'Poncho' Stokes from being eaten alive by the swarm of ravenous bugs sharing his explosive coffin - all before declaring to evil Ecklie that he wants his divided team back as one.
Season 6, Episode 24: Way To Go
'I'd prefer to know in advance that I was going to die.'
Grissom's unique art of seduction is revealed as a late-night rendezvous confirms the lab's worst kept secret: his relationship with Sara. And forget pillow talk; try an A-Z in dream death scenarios. 'I'd like to...have some time to prepare. Go back to the rainforest one last time, reread Moby Dick, possibly enter an international chess tournmanent.' Who said romance was dead?
Season 7, Episode 24: Living Doll
'I've worked over 2000 homicides. And you are by far the best I've ever seen.'
Business gets personal and Grissom meets a right pain in the sawdust when Sara's mysterious disappearance puts him face to face with the vengeful Miniature Killer (that's the larger than life Natalie Davis, not a matchbox-sized murderer), who offers him nothing in his search but some spooky singing and a scaled-down model of the crime scene.
Season 8, Episode 4: Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp
'Oh, I love it when you dress up.'
In the marriage capital of the world, Grissom mixes together his two greatest passions as Sara joins him for his latest case-related experiment. Bee-keeping outfits, a swarm of stingers and a whole lot of science talk make for a thoroughly indecent proposal - but one which is oh-so-totally Grissom.
Season 9, Episode 1: For Warrick
'As Crime Scene Investigators, we meet people on the worst day of their lives.'
He may at one time or another have managed to save various members of his CSI family from meeting a sticky end and being relinquished to the mercy of Dr Robbins's scalpel, but not even Grissom could have predicted the tragic demise of Warrick at the hands of the unashamedly corrupt McKeen. Here it's after seeking justice for the fallen that the usually socially awkward Gil offers an all-important glimpse into their relationship, with a tear-jerking eulogy.
Season 9, Episode 10: One To Go
'Who is Watson without Sherlock Holmes?'
After 17 years on the job, Grissom does the unthinkable and hangs up his lab coat, leaving straight-laced successor Professor Ray Langston with a few lessons unlearned - a shirt and tie is a uniform reserved almost exclusively for city slickers - and saying goodbye to his office of pickled insects and shrunken heads before taking one final stroll through the inner sanctum of the LVPD lab.
