The rest of CSI “A Kiss Before Frying” focused on the entire team solving the attempted murder of somebody who seemed to have been burned alive by an electric chair. I personally like the episodes that focus on only one case, as most of the episodes have the team working on at least two cases. If all of the future cases are this well developed and fleshed out, then I think they should definitely keep to the one case format.
There was one sub-plot of the episode this week, which featured Greg falling madly in love with the mysterious Ellen Whitebridge. While I admire the effort of CSI trying to give us some character development for its team members, I wish they would try a little harder to make the team members a little more believable. Greg’s date with Ellen seemed doomed from the beginning. You could tell she was bad news about 5 lines into the dinner scene, and then she got more and more suspicious from there until we find out her dirty secret of being a burlesque dancer. Even after all of this, Greg still seemed so devoted to Ellen after ONE DATE. It isn’t like they were together for years and he had to defend their undying love. You had one hot date, Greg. Learn to let go. At least he ended up getting her arrested in the end, leading to one of the greatest lines in CSI history. “For what it’s worth, I’ve loved you since Tuesday”.
Overall I actually foAs Greg's relationship with Ellen begins to heat up, she pays him a visit at work where he catches her going through his files. Her suspicious behavior leads him to look into her background when he discovers Ellen is actually a burlesque dancer known as "Rita Von Squeeze." Greg pays a visit to the nightclub where she works and observes her manager, who upon further investigation he learns suffers from serious psychological problems.und this to be an entertaining and compelling episode from start to finish, character inconsistencies aside. It had a fun, noir vibe throughout with 50′s piano and trumpet playing as the soundtrack, as well as the cool black-and-white flashbacks. Also, this episode had some of the best cinematography I’ve seen on this show, with all of Greg’s close-ups being standouts. Hopefully CSI keeps up the quality!
No doubt the best episode of the season so far.No i take that back I doubt it was the best episode of the series.. Im not saying it was worse then Weeping Willows because by far Weeping Willows was the worse episode yet But thats another story
OK so Henry has not grown on me yet but i did like this part it particularly:
Henry pulls Greg aside and informs him both vics had chloroform in their systems. He also asks if Greg's gal has a sister. When he comes back in, she's peeking through his files. She tries to flirt her way out of it but he is all business. So she says she has to go and kisses him goodbye, and promises to stay out of his stuff. He eyes the files she was looking at, it was the picture of the truck and he saw something that i didn't see and i don't think any body else saw.
They all work on evidence related to the third vic back at the lab. Langston gets a fingerprint match to Hammish Herskowitz, a professor from WLVU. Turns out he was related to some low level mobster. So it turns out the victim's were connected, all by organized crime dating back to the founding of Vegas and people like Bugsy Siegel. We go back in time to learn the love story of one of Bugsy's molls Agnes and her secret lover, a Russian ballet dancer. In the old timey footage Greg's girl plays Agnes. Bugsy had his henchmen beat up Boris and steal Agnes back and then kill her by decapitation. Bugsy framed Boris for the murder and he went to the electric chair. The three victims are the grandchildren of people related to the case. It turns out that Ellen is Agnes' granddaughter. They realize someone's avenging history. They're freaked out that his "girlfriend" may be a suspect. He says he hasn't had conversations with her about this investigation, mostly. She calls right then saying she's in trouble. That she needs to explain and that someone might be trying to kill her. She tells him to meet her at a diner. He skips out on the meeting at the lab to meet her and is shot at when he arrives from a car that speeds away. He heads into the meeting place and Ellen isn't there, but she's left behind her scarf, which smells like peaches. She's also left behind a bus schedule where she's ticked off a time for a bus. Greg has 40 minutes to get there.
Greg arrives at the bus station and catches Rita/Ellen. She starts saying it was Hammerbacher's idea and he thought he could win her back by avenging her grandparents death and is running away and then essentially confesses and says her grandparents didn't deserve to die that way.. He is so hurt that she used him from the beginning. She says she didn't and then asks him to run away with her and that she'll do anything he says. Instead, he turns her in. As she's hauled away, she says for what it's worth she's loved him since Tuesday. (Best Quot in CSI history don't forget that.)
OK so i love this Greg and Catherine moment at the end its like a brother and sister moment (big sister looking after little brother) Catherine arrives and dresses him down but says she won't throw stones about letting his lust get the better of him. Next time he gets the hots for a mysterious babe, she asks him to let her check them out first since she has an eye for the rotten ones. He wonders why the rotten ones always smell so good.
