Grissom finds himself at odds with the Sheriff when he insists on a deeper investigation into what seems to be a suicide at a construction site. The Sheriff is pressured by the site operator to free up the site, while Grissom insists that the man may have been murdered, limiting access to the crime scene and causing construction delays. Meanwhile, Nick and Catherine get stuck with a case with little evidence beyond angora fibers, which are found on a dead teen's underwear. As details are exposed, they believe that the boy's psychologist wasn't acting on the up-and-up.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Warrick: You want his blood?
Grissom: One pint. To go.
| Greg: FYI, 30 swabs in six hours is not realistic even for me.
| Sara: We quit before we should have.
Grissom: Yeah, you did.
| Sara: You turned my pickle into a lightbulb?!
| ( a man lies on the ground in a pool of blood. Grissom walks up to the body and looks straight up.)
Gil: Man versus Gravity.
(He looks down at the body and shakes his head.)
Gil: Man lost.
Bob Harris: I think that was his point.
Sheriff Brian Mobley: Hello, Bob.
Bob Harris: Hello, Brian.
Sheriff Brian Mobley: Grissom, what are you doing here?
Gil: What do you think?
Sheriff Brian Mobley: I didn't use the word "homicide."
Gil: Dispatch called. The body's on county property.
Sheriff Brian Mobley: We're not looking at a crime here. Bob explained it to me on the phone. His guy was alone up there. He jumped. It was suicide.
Gil: Then why are you here, Sheriff?
Bob Harris: Look. Roger Valenti was an unhappy guy. Money problems. Family problems. He took the easy way out.
Sheriff Brian Mobley: It's a tragedy, but it's not a crime.
Gil: Suicide, huh? I don't know, Brian. On the day you decide to end your life, why would you go to work?
| Gil: This drill is shorted out. Do you think he "jumped" before or after he got the shock of his life?
Bob Harris: GFCI would have prevented shock.
Sheriff Brian Mobley: What is GFCI?
Bob Harris: The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
Gil: Big words meaning you won't get electrocuted.
(Grissom grabs his kit and notices the outlet. He moves to examine the plug and notices that the third prong of the plug is cut in half.)
Bob Harris: You see, if there's and electrical imbalance the GFCI trips the circuit and the tools are suppose to shut itself off.
Gil: But if the third prong of the plug is compromised, the interrupter won't work. Will it, Bob?
Bob Harris: The third prong grounds the drill. Without it, the interrupter's useless.
Gil: These prongs don't usually snap off by themselves.
| Gil: I want to see the entry and exit wounds.
Al: Gil, he wasn't shot. This is the guy that fell of the new jailhouse. Are we talking about the same case here?
Gil: He fell after he was electrocuted.
Al: News to me. I didn't find any physical evidence of electrocution.
Gil: Faulty drill. There should be burn marks on one of his palms, morphing to a hand with burn marks as an electric sizzle moves from the palm up the deceased's arm. The electric sizzle moves back down the deceased's arm toward the palm leaving the current unmarked skin behind.
Al: Negative on the burn marks. In most electrocution cases, capillaries rupture, hemoglobin leaks into the perivascular tissue.
Gil: Right. creating a fern-like pattern on the chest.
Al: His body contradicts your crime scene.
Gil: I don't care what the body says, this guy was electrocuted. It was not an accident.
| Sara: I don't know what I'm looking for.
Gil: Signs of charring or melting. You've done this before.
Sara: Yeah. But we always go back to the body. The body tells a story and in this case, the body says there was no crime and you're not listening. Why?
Gil: Every now and then, we have to break the rules. Start with a conclusion and work our way backwards.
Sara: Like, for instance, when we don't agree with the coroner's report?
Gil: Like, for instance ... in the 1800s, when surgery was Russian roulette and patients were dying on the tables.
Sara: Germs.
Gil: Until Louis Pasteur theorized that something we could not see, microscopic organisms were attacking the patients.
Sara: Relevance ...
Gil: Bodies tell a story because we interpret them the way our predecessors taught us to. Just because we don't see something we're supposed to see doesn't mean that it's not there.
| Al: My youngest just turned 14. Tough age.
Nick: Cause of death?
Al: Cranial-cerebral injuries. Comminuted fractures of the occipital bone.
Nick: Injuries consistent with a grand mal seizure?
Al: First blush? Yes. Waiting on toxicology. In the meantime, check out his torso.
Nick: He's covered in bruises. Possibly from being thrashed during the seizure?
Al: Possibly.
Nick: I found tan fibers on his boxers.
Al: You, too, huh? His body's covered in them.
Nick: Fibers on his body and his underwear but not on his shirt and pants, why?
Al: Well, maybe it was as simple as he wasn't wearing his shirt and pants.
Nick: Okay, then at some point he was with his Shrink in his underwear.
Al: Exactly what kind of therapy was this?
| Greg: Cheese. Milk. Sweaters. What do these things have in common?
Catherine: Goat cheese, goat milk.
Nick: Goat ... sweaters?
Catherine: Angora.
Greg: Ding, ding, ding. Fibers from the lady shrink, fibers from the boy. Both are angora.
(Greg hands Catherine an opened book.)
Nick: Angora is processed goat hair?
Greg: Mm-hmm.
Catherine: Sheered, washed, spun and dyed. Angora's 100% goat. You didn't know that, Nick?
(Catherine hands the book to Nick and leaves.)
Nick: Must be a chick thing.
| Gil: Greg ... I hope that's not the crossword puzzle.
(Greg stops, turns around and silently hands the folded origami crane to Grissom and leaves. He used the crossword puzzle as paper.)
| Sara: You turned my pickle into a light bulb.
Gil: I'm electrocuting it.
Sara: (amused) You sure are.
Warrick: That would explain that smell.
Gil: This is how I cooked my hot dogs in college.
(He unplugs the pickle and holds it up for everyone to examine.)
Gil: Check out the burn marks.
Sara: There are none.
Warrick: Just like Valenti's body. No evidence of electrocution.
Gil: Pickles are high in sodium content.
Warrick: And sodium is conductive, just like iron.
Gil: Normally, the flow of electricity through a body generates heat.
Gil: Burn marks are the physical evidence of that heat. But ... if the body offers no resistance to the flow of electricity-no heat, no burn marks.
Warrick: Roger Valenti's body offered up no resistance because of the excess iron in his blood.
Sara: The iron conducted the electricity.
Warrick: Making his body one big wire -- path to ground.
Sara: In through his hand from the drill; out through the nail in the boot.
Gil: No burn marks, but he was still electrocuted.
