• There's one good thing about Grissom leaving — If he's gone, so will the Lady Heather stories. And that means no more S&M stories. OK, that's technically two, but you get my point.

• Catherine: "Is that normal?" Coroner: "Grissom being socially awkward? Yes."

• It's good to see Grissom's co-workers being concerned for him, but dang it, why don't they DO something?!? I know, if they did, then that would kill the storyline of Grissom leaving. ...

• Heather (whose looking pretty good without the goth get-up): "I have clients now, not customers." Congratulations on earning your degree. You go, girl!

• She hasn't done electricity above the waist. (The emphasis is mine.) Let me say that again: She hasn't done electricity above the waist. Doesn't that infer she's used it below the waist? Yikes.

• Nick: "Hey, knock it off." Yeah, enough with the S&M flirtations. Standards — I like it. It seems as if Nick is evolving into more of a leader.

• Rents by the hour? Scary.

• Sanders: "A booty smudge on the TV. … Tests positive for semen." Grrrrrrrrrose.

• I have to wonder if one of the "CSI" writers is into S&M, as many stories as they've had in the last couple of seasons.

• Sara: "If a relationship can't move forward, it withers." Followed by a nice cut to Heather: "There's a schism in the relationship."

• Heather: "Am I your secret?" Grissom: "No. And you're not my therapist."

• Riley: "Who's Lady Heather?" Sanders: "Oh, that's a whole 'nother 'Oprah.'" Catherine: "Changing the channel." Thanks, Catherine! Subtle, but direct.

• Heather to Grissom: "No one has more rigid boundaries than you." The truth hurts, dude.

• I wish the writers would either have made Grissom and Lady Heather friends or lovers. This "are they or aren't they?" crap got old MANY episodes ago.

• Heather: "Not making a decision was your decision." Lady Heather from downtown — again!

• I guess I need to get over the fact that the CSIs are treated as detectives, not the analysts and lab rats like in real-life Ohio's BCI&I.

• I didn't expect to have Grissom actually take up Heather's offer to stay in the guest bedroom. ...

• ... so I sure didn't see Grissom asking her to "stay" coming!!!!

• A final thought: Will Lady Heather be the reason Grissom leaves? Given Sara's Internet-streamed "Dear John" letter, could Grissom and Heather actually ride off into the sunset together?

Countdown to Grissom's good-bye: Five episodes.
