Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "Burked," the season premiere, we're introduced to the Braun family, who are important to Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger). What is the name of the patriarch of the Braun family?

Answer: Sam

Sam Braun dated Catherine's mother, and evidence discovered in the third season concludes that Sam is actually Catherine's father.
2. In "Chaos Theory," a college student's untimely death is eventually explained as having been caused by a bizarre series of coincidences involving bad timing, bad luck, and a number of physical objects being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Which was NOT one of the objects that led to this woman's death?

Answer: a suitcase

The victim accidentally dropped the trash can from her dorm room down a garbage chute. While she was leaning into the dumpster at street level to retrieve it, an SUV happened to sideswipe the dumpster, crushing her internal organs and killing her instantly. Her suitcase, back in her dorm room, was never part of the problem.
3. In "Overload," we learn that a member of the CSI team was sexually abused as a child. Which one?

Answer: Nick Stokes (George Eads)

As Nick and Catherine investigate a case in which it seems that a therapist has taken advantage of a minor, Nick admits to Catherine that, when he was nine, a "last-minute babysitter" sexually abused him. I would have found this scene much more compelling if it hadn't taken place in a public hallway while people were walking right past Nick and Catherine, well within earshot!
4. In "Bully For You," a high school bully is shot dead in a bathroom at the school. Who killed him?

Answer: the school's guidance counselor

Tess Harper played the guidance counselor who shot the bully dead in order to prevent a Columbine-like incident from happening.
5. In "Scuba Doobie-Doo," the CSI team encounters a man who has left them some pretty confusing evidence due to the fact that he has a particular medical condition. What ailment does this man have?

Answer: hepatitis

The team finds massive amounts of blood on the walls of an apartment and suspects a violent murder. However, they later find out that the former tenant suffers from hepatitis-C, and intentionally aspirated blood through his nose in order to ruin the apartment due to an argument with the landlord!
6. We learn in "Alter Boys" (I did not misspell that, by the way: it's a play on words) that a member of the CSI team is a lapsed Catholic. Which one?

Answer: Gil Grissom (William Petersen)

Gil spends some time discussing his disdain for religion with a priest (played by Dylan Baker) who insinuates himself into the investigation in this episode. The priest can tell that Grissom was a Catholic because Grissom addresses him as "Father," as opposed to "Reverend" or "Minister."
7. Several times in the episode "Caged," Gil Grissom and an autistic man named Aaron Pratt (Michael Goorjian) quote liberally from one of Shakespeare's plays -- Aaron's favorite, in fact. Which one is it?

Answer: Othello

Grissom briefly references both "Hamlet" and "King Lear" in the episode, but he and Aaron throw out at least five lines from "Othello" -- Aaron's favorite Shakespeare tragedy, according to his own dialogue -- before the show is over.
8. In "Slaves of Las Vegas," the CSI team winds up investigating an establishment that caters to the "S and M" desires of its high-priced clients. The proprietress of this establishment catches Grissom's eye. Finish her name: Lady ____________.

Answer: Heather

Lady Heather seems to connect with Gil more intimately and accurately than any other character we've seen on the show at this point.
9. In "And Then There Were None," a group of criminals stage a bold robbery in the middle of a casino. Several of these criminals are in disguise. What are they disguised as?

Answer: women

Several of the burglars were men wearing women's clothing, wigs, and dark sunglasses. One of them actually WAS a woman, so she wasn't technically disguised as one.
10. Grissom leaves town at the beginning of "Ellie." Whom does he leave in charge of the CSI department in his absence?

Answer: Warrick

Catherine is usually second-in-command, but she has plans in Reno on the same night that Grissom is going to be out of town. Grissom therefore puts Warrick in charge of the team, even though Nick has more seniority. This decision causes some minor friction, but everything works out amicably by the end of the episode.
11. In "Organ Grinder," it's revealed that two very well-organized women have killed at least two wealthy men by exposing them to sufficient amounts of a certain heavy metal to kill them. Which metal was their murder weapon?

Answer: selenium

Selenium is used in dandruff shampoo, which is the innocent household product the women used to deliver lethal amounts of the heavy metal.
12. In "You've Got Male," two women are found murdered at a construction site. At first, they seem to have nothing whatsoever in common...but the investigation quickly reveals the connection between them. What is it?

Answer: They were sisters.

Although they look (and, we later learn, live their lives) nothing alike, the late Donna and Joan Marks were sisters.
13. "Identity Crisis" features the return of serial killer Paul Millander, the man who actually managed to outsmart and escape Grissom in season one. We learn a number of surprising things about Millander in this episode. Which is NOT one of them?

Answer: Millander killed his own father.

Paul Millander was born Pauline, and does indeed have a "second life" as a circuit court judge -- a life he enjoys with his wife and young son, who both seem to be completely unaware of his serial killing tendencies. Paul's father, however, was murdered in front of him (well...*her*, since "he" was Pauline at the time) when he/she was a child.
14. In "The Finger," a member of the CSI team actually winds up being part of the investigation -- as a hostage! Who gets sucked into a complex kidnapping plot in this episode?

Answer: Catherine

Catherine becomes an unwilling participant in a ransom drop-off. She's forced to leave clues for her co-workers along the way!
15. In "Burden of Proof," the CSI team eventually learns that a highly unusual bullet was responsible for a man's death. Of what material was this bullet made?

Answer: ground beef

The killer froze ground beef into the shape of a bullet, and fired it into his victim. The beef burst into multiple fragments upon impact and mingled with the similarly organic material comprising the victim's abdominal organs. Only the presence of a maggot that is exclusively found in cow flesh gave the killer's method away. Pretty clever killer...but Grissom knows his bugs.
16. "Primum Non Nocere" -- which, by the way, is Latin for "First, do no harm," the primary oath of a physician -- focuses on the players and practices of a certain sport. Which one?

Answer: hockey

The episode is primarily about a hockey player who died on the ice. There's much discussion about the violent nature of the sport.
17. Four Buddhist monks are killed in their temple in "Felonius [sic] Monk." Who killed them?

Answer: the cook at the temple

All of these men are considered suspects at one time or another, but we eventually learn that the part-time cook -- who had been stealing from the temple -- killed four of the monks to cover his original crime.
18. In "Chasing the Bus," the CSI team eventually learns that a devastating bus crash was largely caused by a disgruntled ex-employee of the bus company who was putting an unusual substance into the tires of the buses owned by the company that had fired him. What was this man pumping into the tires of these buses?

Answer: chloroform

The CSI team learns that, after about two hours of standard highway travel, chloroform that has been inserted into a tire will explode. And here TV viewers have been thinking all these years that it was only good for pouring into handkerchiefs and rendering people unconscious. =)
19. The titular character in "Stalker" is originally being sought because he has been stalking, spying on, and secretly living in the attic (creepy!) of a young woman who winds up dead. Halfway through the episode, though, we learn that this man is also stalking a member of the CSI team. Which one?

Answer: Nick

It's eventually revealed that the stalker has been living in Nick Stokes' attic for some time, watching his every move through holes in the ceiling. Yuck! (Is it an in-joke that the stalker only met Nick because he was Nick's cable guy? Somewhere, Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick must be wondering...)
20. In "Cats in the Cradle," an old woman is found dead in her home, being eaten by approximately twenty cats. True or False: the cats killed this woman.

Answer: False

It turns out that an eight-year-old neighbor killed the old woman by stabbing her in the chest with a pen...all because the old woman wouldn't give up one of her 20+ cats to be the little girl's pet!
21. In "Anatomy of a Lye," a female hiker is found dead in the middle of the desert...but oddly, the cause of her death was drowning. What kind of water drowned her?

Answer: rain water

The hiker was caught in a flash flood while hiking in the mountains. She was unable to avoid the sudden surge of rainwater, and drowned. The makeshift "tide" transported her body to the bottom of a canyon, well out of the mountain range and into "desert" territory.
22. "Cross-Jurisdictions" introduced the cast of "CSI: Miami" when a Las Vegas case wound up having a Miami connection. Which two members of the Las Vegas CSI team went to Miami to work the case and interact with the Miami team?

Answer: Catherine and Warrick

Gil suggests that Catherine bring Warrick with her, since Warrick has never been to Florida.
23. In the season finale, "The Hunger Artist," Grissom encounters a homeless woman near the scene of the apparent homicide of a young woman. Which of the following statements about this homeless woman is FALSE?

Answer: She killed the victim.

The story of Cassie James (Susan Misner) is a convoluted one, but in a nutshell, she is a paranoid schizophrenic who was once a fashion model, just like her late sister Ashleigh (who, by the way, was not murdered, but killed herself).
24. The season ends with Gil Grissom going into surgery.

Answer: False

At the end of "The Hunger Artist," Gil finds out that he has the same degenerative hearing disorder that his mother had. He doesn't have corrective surgery, though, until the end of the THIRD season.
25. Which of the following things DID happen in the second season?

Answer: The daughter of Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) made her first on-screen appearance.

The second-season episode "Ellie" is named for Brass' daughter, who was prominently featured. Catherine's ex, Eddie, is still alive at the start of season three. Grissom's beard and Sara's drinking problem first popped up in season four.
