[x] Remove Ad
A body suffering from head trauma found one morning in a store, near the safe, appears to have been the result of an interrupted robbery. A fingerprint found at the store connects the robbery in some way to a young girl kidnapped twenty years before. Sara and Warrick find themselves assigned to investigate a woman who burned to death while the house around her was hardly affected. Sara claims it's a case of mythical "spontaneous human combustion", while Warrick insists there is a simpler explanation. They compete to find the true answer.

Episode Quotes
 
Sara: Interesting voicemail you left me.
Warrick: What's that?
Sara: Meet me behind CSI and bring a night gown? I'll wear it for you but uh, I prefer pajamas.
 
Warrick: Oh, you're only siding with Sara because you have a crush on her.
David: No, that's why I wore a clean coat.
 
Grissom: I have a question.
Teri: Ok?
Grissom: Since I screwed up our last date, would we ever have dinner again?
Teri: Oh we'll have dinner ... just not together.
 
Gil: (to Catherine)You and I have an appointment with our shrink.
 
Gil: Catherine, say hello to Melissa Marlowe.
Catherine: Oh, my god.
Gil: What?
Catherine: That's Tammy Felton and we've already met.
 
Catherine: Tammy Felton needs help. She may be a suspect, but she's also a victim.
 
Dr. Philip Kane: Gil ... be careful. Sociopaths are dangerous because they don't function by the same... moral code as the rest of us.
Gil: Welcome to my world.
 
Greg: Don't you ever goof off, huh? Do you ever get a little lost in life?
Nick: No.
Greg: Well, you should.
 
Nick: (to Gil) Tell me, am I radiating a green glow?
 
Catherine: What were you thinking?
Gil: I don't know. I wanted to observe them, I guess.
Catherine: That woman hasn't seen her daughter in 21 years. You actually thought a glass wall would keep them apart?
Gil: I never thought about that.
Catherine: I know. You're not good with people.
Gil: Yeah.
 
Jim: Maybe, uh, Miss Mirror-has-two-faces is playing us for fools. We corner her with the evidence, she goes nuts sets the groundwork for an insanity plea.
 
Sara: Why didn't you say something when you gave us the case?
Gil: Well, in science we learn through experimentation, right? Sometimes we need to see it to believe it. You guys did a nice job.
 
Sara: Well, I would've looked like an idiot. Thanks for covering.
Warrick: Well, you can show your appreciation by, uh, cleaning up.
 
Melissa Marlow/Tammy Felton: The only memories I have are of being a little kid. The last 21 years are blank -- like they never happened.
Catherine: Then you shouldn't have any memories of me ... Tammy.
 
Melissa Marlow/Tammy Felton: Just practicing for court. Not bad, huh?

Cultural References
 
Title: Face Lift

The term Face Lift refers specifically to plastic surgery designed to restore the appearance of youth to a person's countenance, or any procedure aimed for that purpose. It has since been extended to mean anything done to something -- including buildings and cars, for example -- which restores that thing to a newer, less worn condition of appearance. It can reflect re-working the internal structure to make it more viable, but often refers to things which only apply to the external appearance.
