Chaos Theroy
S2
E2
As writers, we were all obsessed with connection and chain of events. This passion led to this episode. Grissoms timeless quote, 'A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, we get a hurricane off the coast of Florida.' Chaos Theory. Random events. The wholesale rejection of linear thought. This was the driving force behind Paige Rycoff, a college student who vanished without a trace.

Ellie
S2
E10
'CSI Alert. This is the first time CSI was ranked number 1 in the Neilson ratings. The year, 2001. It stars Captain Jim Brass's daughter Ellie. Her relationship with her father is strained. The dialogue from Brass cuts deep. 'Sometimes I hear your voice... even when you're not there' reflects a deeper pain about me not seeing my own kids due to being on CSI full time.'

The CSI team is called in when a famous real estate entrepreneur is found dead in a hotel elevator.

S2

Grissom's nemesis, serial killer Paul Millander, reappears and claims a third victim in this gripping episode.
The Finger
S2
E14
Anthony E. Zuiker says, 'This episode is a classic. Written by our showrunner, Carol Mendelsohn, and our top director, Danny Cannon, 'The Finger' is a story about Catherine Willows (Marg Helenberger) getting involved in a kidnapping of a real estate developer's mistress. The rabbit shot is so iconic that we blew it up and pinned it in our writer's offices.'
Burden of Proof

S2

A bus carrying 23 passengers from Los Angeles to Las Vegas crashes less than 40 miles from its destination, killing nine people.
Stalker
S2
E19
Anthony E. Zuiker says, 'Check out these names. Leland Orser and Doug Hutchison star in this nail biting episode. I got the idea when I read about Bjork's stalker Ricardo Lopez who took his life after terrorizing the iconic singer. It was so disturbing, but it did intrigue my thirst for this type of dark pathology. Stalker is a classic. Just remember to watch it with some 'green tea' handy.'
Cats In the Cradle

Cross-Jurisdictions
S2
E22
This is the episode that launched CSI Miami with the introduction of David Caruso in this episode. We flew out of the desert and landed in the water to spin off our second successful series. These were the very best times in Hollywood where your boss would say 'Pick a city.' As producers, we'd say 'Miami' and the next thing you know CSI Miami was born. Cue sunglasses being whipped off.'
