Ok, I’ve been w/out cable since mid-3rd-season of CSI:Vegas (yeah, it’s my guilty pleasure). The last thing I know about is the special ep “Lady Heather’s Box.”
Here’s what I think I need to know (add any additonal details you feel appropriate):
Did Grissom ever do anything about the attraction between him and Lady Heather?
What’s up with Jorja Fox and Grissom?
Who is the blond chick in tonight’s ep - is she a regular now? (Tonight’s ep is the one with the Hispanic music murder…)
I’m vaguely aware there was some sort of explosion in the lab and geeky-DNA-guy got hurt - what happened with him? Has he joined the field team?
Grissom and Lady Heather had a falling-out after he had to treat her as a suspect in a murder at her house. He didn’t really think she did it (she didn’t) but he had to do his job. I thought this was sort of uncharacteristic of Lady H–I’d have thought she’d understand he had to do his job, personal feelings aside. She hasn’t been back since, but I’m hoping. They make a good couple.
Sara (Jorja Fox) has a crush on Grissom and she’d like for it to go further. She made a move on Grissom and he gently rebuffed her, so they’re a little strained around each other these days. It’s getting better, though.
I haven’t seen the episode you’re referring to yet (I’m in CA) but this is probably Sophia, Ecklie (the sleazy former day-shift supervisor, now higher-up)'s former right-hand woman. She was pissed that she didn’t get Ecklie’s job (Catherine did) and now she’s working for Grissom.
Greg (the DNA guy) did get hurt. He’s okay now, though. He wanted to be a CSI, so he began working in the field. He failed his first proficiency test but passed his next one (just last week, in fact) so now presumably he’s a full-time CSI.
I disagree. Ecklie sent Sophia to investigate a case where Grissom may not have tested some evidence. When she reported back to Ecklie that Grissom and the night shift followed proper procedures, he got a little upset since he is conflict with Grissom.
And as punishment, he demoted Sophia and assigned her, along with Greg and Sara to Grissom’s night shift.
Catherine was not given the day shift she requested. Instead, he assigned her to a swing shift and made her Warrick and Nick’s supervisor.
Sara said something tonight that implied she had originally moved to Las Vegas to be with Grissom. If so, this implies they did have some sort of relationship in the past. Maybe Sara is trying to rekindle an old romance but Grissom isn’t interested.
Anyone else been reading a whole lot more subtext into Sara Sidle since reading this week’s National Enquirer?
Sara said she had a “crush” on Grissom. That would be on odd word choice if they’d had a relationship in the past. A crush seems more one-sided. Maybe she was hoping for more, but it never panned out.
Grissom asked her [way back in episode 1] to come to Vegas so he could have a competent employee with her tenacity that he knew he could work with. The attraction thing seemed to start a bit after that.
Do what I did- I joined netflix and got the first 3 seasons of episodes 3 discs at a time…
You can learn a lot reading tabloids in the check-out line. The National Enquirer basically outed Jorja Fox as a lesbian. They essentially said “For legal reasons, we can’t say she is…but she is.”
On a semi-related note, I think I know the guy that played the “vic” who was shot in the car. Way to go, dude! “Shot at point blank range” looks good on the old resume.
Gobear crosses fingers that the Enquirer will out George Eads next. The bf is on notice that if George ever becomes available, I get to have an affair with him.
