Notes

  • The discovery of the badly bashed bodies of two Jane Does will reportedly lead the CSIs into the seedy world of mail-order brides. (December 02, 2004 - CSI Files)

  • This episode was originally known as "Stacking Dolls."

  • Guest stars Zeljko Ivanek and Misha Collins previously appeared as the brothers Andre and Alexis Drazen during the first season of 24.

  • Jorja Fox: "Sara has a bit of a meltdown. It is not the first time in the five years that the character is in professional and personal trouble. Sara is very passionate and has a bit of a temper and you are going to see all that tonight and more." (February 03, 2005 - CSI Files)

  • Guest actress Natasha Alam: "It was a blast to play that part. I had to lay in a pool of 'blood' made of corn syrup and paint. [It was] a little cold and uncomfortable, but exhausting, as when the 'blood' gets dry it itches and shrinks, causing the skin to pool, but you have to wear it for a while. We were jumping from scenes before I was covered in blood to scenes [set after that] many times, which meant I had to take a shower and do the make-up and hair all over again several times a day. [...] I still wouldn't trade this experience for anything." (February 04, 2005 - CSI Files)

Why can't the CSIs get dates?
All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
Three words: Hank the Skank.
