When the rat crawled out of the model’s mouth, I screamed, and then when the coroner mentioned that he hoped the rat hadn’t had babies I just curled up in a ball, moaning. Although, in retrospect, would a rat really crawl into a person’s mouth?
Such a tragic episode. How bad do things have to be that weighing your waste is something you need to do? And the sister trying to show the model that she was still beautiful…and the gouging of her face…do people with Body Dysmorphic Order really do that?
And Grissom going deaf…sad, sad, sad, but I can’t imagine they can go far with that storyline.
At the end, he is diagnosed with otosclerosis (sp?), which is a bony growth in the ear that stops the something from vibrating or something like that. It’s believe to be hereditary
Hated the rat bit!
And how 'bout that binging/purging diary! Was that based on fact, I wonder?
Sorry that Grissom is going deaf. He’ll no doubt learn lip-reading and sign language real fast. . . or there will be a cochlear implant or some radical surgery that will keep him from losing his hearing. Question: will he tell the rest of the CSI team that he’s losing his hearing?
But I have a quibble with the Cassie character. . . she looked awfully good to be a street person. Her hair was rather fashionable. Her body looked pretty toned (saw her belly button & all) and her teeth were fine. I think a druggie, schizoid street person would look a lot worse for the wear!
didn’t they have an episode where it was clear that Grissom knew sign language? yep, If memory serves, case involved a deaf man killed in an accident where the driver assumed that the person was ignoring them or some such stuff
I believe his mother was deaf…they’ve mentioned it a couple of times. There was one episode where Grissom stated, “My mom was deaf, but she still ruled the roost” or something like that.
I thought it was a pretty good episode, but I also wondered how much of it was based on real cases, and how much was artistic license.
When they first met Cassie, I thought to myself, yeah, right, I guess all the homeless women in Vegas look like actresses . . . but then there was an explanation behind it, so it wasn’t all that bad. Well, no, it was that bad, but bad in a CSI kinda way, so that’s okay.
I was wondering about the family of the two girls . . . did they mention that they’d tried to contact their parents, or any other relatives, and I just missed it?
wring, IIRC, Grissom even said he knew sign language because of his mother.
The rat didn’t bug me as much as the awful pun that followed . . . though I squealed and covered my eyes at the brief scene where she was cutting herself.)
