Review  

Sara and Catherine get pulled off the serial killer case, and are given the chore of investigating a bloated body found in a bathtub. When they first arrive at the scene, Catherine says that the entire team could live cheaply in a place like it; Sara says she wouldn’t want to live with Grissom. Sara discovers grease paint on the inside of the victim’s shirt, but doesn’t understand how it got there, even after Catherine explains it to her. They discover that the victim’s death was facilitated by a sucker punch to the back of the head by a rival sports fan. After taking some lip from the prime suspect, Sara gets a little vindictive at the end when she quotes the suspect’s words right back at him.

Notes  

• Sara wouldn’t want to share a house with Grissom.
• Sara doesn’t know (or understand why sports fans paint their chests.
• Sara has read the book Jaws, but apparently hasn’t seen the movie; this is the first in a line of horror novels that she references over the years.
• The quote of “Now who’s the punk… bitch?” has been voted as the all-time favorite quote on sites across the web.
