Organ Grinder, Season 2 #10

Man’s body is found in a casino elevator, unconscious but alive. Reported by anonymous 911. He later passes away and the CSI's investigate when cause is death is found to be poison.

GREG:

1. Analyzes substance Catherine found in elevator – dandruff. Asks her if she thinks Sara would go out with him, she thinks she would.
2. Asking Sara out apparently starts with asking her to takie their breaks together. She agrees, but the look on her face indicates she doesn’t get what he means. Greg looks so happy when she agrees.
3. Sara is busy with case and blows him off about break, Grissom watches their conversation with curoisty but quickly gets back on task and calls Greg back to work.
4. Searches internet for name of wife of victim. Gives printout to Sara which makes her so happy she “really really wants to kiss you right now.” Which makes Greg all bashful and he turns his head away. And when he looks back up – she’s gone.

Purple shirt. Greg seems to rock 2 colors primarily - brown or green. Nice change.

REST OF TEAM:

• Victim was staying what Grissom calls murder central. Which Nick (and the rest of us) haven’t heard about, but Sara claims to know. Grissom later explains, calling Sara out as if he knows she was lying: room with door nearest stairwell with both easy access for getaway and 50% less chance of being overheard.
• Wife of dead man honors his wish to be an organ donor andsurgeons harvest 8 organs in 2 hours. Can you say efficient?
• Sara seems a little squicked by the various fluids and substances they find in the hotel room and announces that the evidence of previous occupants is why she travels with nonoxonol 9. Which according to Wikipedia is is a “a non-ionic nonoxynol surfactant that is used as an ingredient in various cleaning and cosmetic products, but is also widely used as a contraceptive for its spermicidal properties.” What exactly is she telling us?
• Nick and Sara find a used condom on one of the wall sconces. Energetic.
• Victim was being poisoned with selenium. According to Sara poisoning is most common choice of method for premeditated murder for women. And selenium is main ingredient in dandruff shampoo (I learned that from the movie Evolution).
• Warrick reopens file of earlier incident with same victim with gunshot wound that was reported as accidental, claimed that it happened when guy was cleaning his gun. Warrick discovers that he was shot by his wife as retaliation for infidelity.
• Kidney transplant recipient agrees to Nick’s request for scope biopsy to test for poison, even though he body is rejecting the organ. Nick tells Grissom he wants to rescind the request since he doesn’t think they should harm the living to benefit the dead. Grissom shoots him a weird, sorta pleased look but doesn’t explain what he means.
• Nick makes an extremely icky blender concoction of the liver of secretary’s dead husband, who was also poisoned with selenium.
• Wife and secretary play a game of she said/she said claiming other one was the one doing the poisoning.
• When there isn’t enough evidence to proceed with charges, Sara gets quite angry about it, but Grissom reminds her there is no statute of limitation on murder.
