Catherine gets a little distracted whilst talking to Warrick and doesn't notice the flame on low under the hood, as she places a jar of flamable liquid in a jar in the storage hood, until she can examine it later. Some time later after the investigations leads are followed, Sara is eating and spots Grissom so follows him so that she can talk to him in provate, but members of the team keep spaeking with him. Sara gives up her persuit and as she is passing one of the labs that Greg is inside of there is an explosion that shatters all the glass around them, sending them both crashing to the floor.

Robert Cavallo: What'd you do to my lab, Grissom?

(After the explosion)
Grissom: Are you okay?
Sara: Uh-huh.
Grissom (sees the cut on her hand): Honey, this doesn't look good.
Sara: It's fine. Cleanup's going to be something. We should get started.
Grissom: You need stitches.
Sara: I'm okay.
Grissom (shouts): Would you take care of her hand, please?

(After Catherine caused the explosion in the lab)

Robert Cavollo: It's not your job to protect your people. It's to protect the integrity of this lab.
Grissom: Without the people, there is no lab

Robert Cavallo: I'm going to need a complete evidence inventory by case. What's been lost, what's contaminated, what's salvageable.
Grissom: We have lims backup for every computer on the network. I'm sure we've only lost an hour or two of data.
Robert Cavallo: Well, we'll never sell that in court. Defense attorneys will rip us apart. That, uh, double murder movie star case last year,
compr omised evidence, lax procedures, mistakes.
Grissom: We got a conviction on that.
Robert Cavallo: You got lucky. This is a priority. I wanna know how this happened.
Grissom: And who's to blame. I'm going to have Catherine run the investigation. I'm on a murder case.
Robert Cavallo: I'll be waiting for her report.

Brass: You going to go to the DA with a connect-the-dots hand on a piece of tracing paper?
Grissom: It's all we got that links him to the murder. Everything else blew up in the lab.
Brass: This guy's going to walk.
Grissom: Yep.


Archie: Nevada State Correctional Facility. Pretty casual for a prison.
Grissom: It's medium-security...
Nick: ...for nicer criminals.
Archie (laughing): Right.

Nick: Jason's little girlfriend was screwing a guy he hates.
Grissom: Well, if you can't kill the one you want ... kill the one you're with.

Sara returns to work after having her hand dressed at the hospital, then later when entering a suspects home, she opens a door to find the suspect before letting an officer clear the room for the CSI's. Jim Brass is clearly annoyed with her taking such a risk and he tells her so, before Nick has a word with her to the same effect.

Nick: Have you ever had a gun drawn on you, Sara?
Sara: No, I haven't.

(About evidence)
Grissom: You should be telling Nick or Sara.
Hodges: Yeah, couldn't find them. They must be on another break. Anyway, the blister pack is methadone. 40 milligrams, former smack addict dose. And that ceramic chip? Not ceramic. It's acrylic with a quartz resin composite used primarily in dental crowns. Cheap ones.
Grissom: Good work.
Hodges: Yeah listen I like to think of you and I...
Grissom

Nick: Hey, who's working trace tonight?
Sara: Hodges.
Nick: Oh, great. I guarantee you that kiss-ass will have the results to Grissom before we do

(After Catherine finds out it wasn't Hodges who blew the lab up)
Warrick: Then who blew up the lab?
Catherine: I did.


Catherine: CSI Brown and I had collected evidence on a case involving a woman whose husband had collapsed. We suspected poison. When we returned to the lab ...
Robert Cavallo: You hadn't identified the liquid?
Catherine: Not yet, no.
Robert Cavallo: And it was consumed in the explosion so I guess we'll never know what it was. In any event, you placed this unidentified chemical under the fume hood.
Catherine: Right.
Robert Cavallo: Next to an active heat source.
Catherine: I didn't know that at the time.
Robert Cavallo: Because you didn't check.
Grissom: Unlogged evidence gets placed under the fume hood. A hot plate was left on. It's a lab. It's nobodys fault.
Catherine: It's my responsibility. I didn't follow procedure.
Robert Cavollo: Why not?
Catherine: Because there's 24 hours in a day, and I'm pulling 16 for the county, spending three pretending to sleep, and the other five... lying to my daughter that everything is gonna be alright.
Robert Cavollo: There were 13 active cases in DNA. They are all now tainted or destroyed.
Catherine: What do you wanna hear? I screwed up. I'm sorry.
Robert Cavollo: "Sorry" doesn't cut it. You're on suspension. Five days unpaid leave. (Catherine walks out and Grissom gets up to leave to) Grissom! We're not done here. I've heard rumors you've been kicking back Willows' reports.
Grissom: One report. The Jenkins case she made a miscalculation and I've asked her to re-issue the report.
Robert Cavollo: Great. While you're at it, maybe she can re-issue the lab explosion.

Grissom: A murderer, his groupie, and a heroin dealer; what a team.


At the end of the episode Sara goes to Grissom's office as he is seeking out his ear specialists contact details from his rolerdex on his desk. Sara brings up the fact that they are both off for the next shift, but Grissom tries to speak with her about her behaviour to which Brass and Nick have alerted him to. Sara asks if he would like to have dinner with her, to which Grissom quickly replies 'No', then adds that he doesn't know what to do about 'this' indicating between them. Sara makes a sublte threat that she may be waiting for him when, and if he later decides to pursue a relationship with her.

Sara: Would you like to have dinner with me?
Grissom: No.
Sara: Why not? Let's ... Let's have dinner, let's see what happens.
Grissom: Sara ... I don't know what to do about this.
Sara: I do. By the time you figure it out, you really will be too late

GSR moments:
When Grissom calls Sara 'Honey' when he sees that she is hurt.

GSR quotes:
Above where Sara asks Grissom out to dinner.

Funny moments:
Hodges trying to suck up to Grissom unsuccessfully.

Eww! moments:

Interesting facts:
All the equipment in the lab is fully functional, and was either purchased outright, or donated/loaned to the show for product placement

When Grissom says to Sara "Honey, this doesn't look good", "Honey" wasn't in the script, Petersen added it on his own.

This refers to the 1970 Stephen Stills song, "Love The One You're With", also done by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The line from the song is "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with
