Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox)

Sara eventually discovers that Melissa lied about having been shot in the neck (and paralyzed) by a mysterious intruder years ago: she was actually shot by her own husband, whom she herself had shot with the same gun only moments before.

Answer: He only targets women with blonde hair.

Taylor Reed, the rapist in question, only went after women who lived in first floor apartments with sliding glass doors, all within a comfortable walking distance of his own home.

At least one of the women he attacked was a brunette.

3. Episode 15, "Lady Heather's Box": Lindsey, the daughter of CSI Catherine Willows, is shown acting in a school play early in this episode. Which play?

Answer: Sleeping Beauty

Lindsey's big scene as Sleeping Beauty is interrupted by an outburst from her father, who argues with his ex-wife in the audience.

Answer: insulin shock

Both men were surreptitiously injected with insulin by one of Lady Heather's other employees. Said employee used Lady Heather's personal equipment to administer the lethal amounts of insulin, which led Gil Grissom to consider her as a suspect in the murders.

5. Someone close to one of the CSI team dies in "Lady Heather's Box." Who is it?

Answer: Catherine Willows' ex-husband

Eddie Willows (Timothy Carhart) dies from a gunshot wound in this episode.

6. "Lady Heather's Box" is unique among all other season three episodes. What sets it apart?

Answer: It is longer.

The episode, on television, ran 90 minutes instead of the usual 60. (Without commercials, it runs at 64 minutes, a good 20 minutes longer than a normal episode.)

7. Episode 16, "Lucky Strike": Warrick and Catherine work a high-profile kidnapping case. The young son of a famous athlete has been snatched. What sport does this athlete play?

Answer: basketball

Tavian Tombs, played by Dwayne Adway, comes very close to interfering with the investigation several times, as he seems to think that he, not the police department, is in charge of the situation.

Answer: a mine shaft

Real estate scammer Alex James tried to hide a dead body in a mine that he owned by using TNT to bury the corpse. Unfortunately, as he was running away from the explosion, he wound up with a big hunk of wood lodged in his head.

9. Episode 17, "Crash and Burn": Sara Sidle and her boyfriend break up in this episode. What's his name?

Answer: Hank

Hank Peddigrew, an EMT, had been stringing Sara along for months, all the while still seeing another woman on the side.

10. The "B" story in "Crash and Burn" concerns a woman who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in her own bed. Her death was not an accident. Who caused her death?

Answer: her son

Vanessa Arnz's son Peter rigged the fireplace in her bedroom to malfunction and cause a carbon monoxide overdose. Peter's parents had refused to pay for his college education, so he planned to kill them both and sell their family business to fund his Princeton tuition. Creepy!

11. Gil Grissom, in "Crash and Burn", notes for the record the name of one of his favorite authors. Who is it?

Answer: Isaac Asimov

Since Asimov was as much scientist as novelist, this admission doesn't come as much of a surprise. The famous Asimovian corollary that Grissom and his prime suspect quote in this episode is one of my favorites: "It's not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much confidence in non-scientists being wrong."

12. Episode 18, "Precious Metal," focuses on yet another American "subculture". The world of the primary crime scene would be best represented by which of the following TV shows?

Answer: BattleBots

The corpse found in the teaser is eventually traced to an arena where remote-controlled robots trash each other. "BattleBots" was a TV show that popularized this activity.

13. Greg Sanders (Eric Szmanda) is a man who wears many hats in his private life. In "Precious Metal" he admits to having a particular hobby. Which one?

Answer: coin collecting

Greg even gets a chance to play a part in a "sting" operation in the field due to his knowledge of coin collecting.

14. Episode 19, "A Night at the Movies," focuses on yet another American "subculture". The world of the primary crime scene would be best represented by which of the following TV shows?

Answer: Jackass

A group of young adults engage in some behavior that could get them onto a "Jackass"-like TV show. They even film their exploits. Unfortunately, when they incorporate a loaded automatic weapon into their routine, one of their number winds up dead.

Answer: Strangers on a Train

In "Strangers on a Train", two men who have just met discuss the idea of "swapping" murders -- the idea being that, since each man would be killing a complete stranger, there would be nothing to connect either man to his victim. A similar bargain was apparently struck between two women in a movie theater, but one of them wound up dead. A fun episode, and a hilarious final line of dialogue by Grissom!

Stay tuned for part four of my season three "CSI" quiz.
