Of the newly revealed relationship between Grissom and Sara, William Petersen says, “We knew there was shock value to it because of the little bits and moments that Sara and Grissom have had over the years. So to see them together that way would have impact in terms of, ‘Whoa, there they are!’” Jorja Fox enjoys the mystery of the relationship, saying, “It left so many more questions than it really answered. And I think we’re all going to figure that out as we go into this season. Billy and I aren’t necessarily that far ahead of the audience with this one.”

When asked if there would be kissing between Grissom and Sara, Petersen responded with a laugh, “I’d like to think we could. We’d love to kiss but the network would have to cough up some more money for that. Tongue would cost more. Sometimes they pay for things that are fun.”

Petersen reflected on Grissom’s relationship with Lady Heather, viewing her less as a soul mate and more as a “spanking partner.” According to Petersen, “Every now and then a guy needs a good spanking. Lady Heather could teach this country a lot. How to dress.” “Definitely how to dress,” Fox concurred.

Fox thinks it would be great if Lady Heather and Sara met because every time the show goes places that are sexual, Sara’s never there. “She’s at the car-wash murder across town. So it is a pet peeve of mine that these episodes get written and I’m miles away. And I wonder if that’s partially control on Grissom’s part, since he hands out the cases.”

When asked what he was thinking when he chose to wear the aloha shirt in the Season 6 finale, Petersen addressed the history of the shirt. “I got it in the Philippines 10 years ago off a guy’s back. I traded him shirts in the jungle. For Grissom, it was something different. This is how he lets his hair down when he’s with someone he trusts.”

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.
