Half of you saw "CSI" last night and the other half saw "Grey's Anatomy," which means you're all wondering what happened on the megahit that you DIDN'T see.
So I'll tell you, really quickly, what happened on each show, and then give a grade. That way, everyone's happy and you can go about the rest of your day with a light heart. So, here goes:
"CSI:"
Rain's falling over the desert, and Sara's hand is still sticking out from under that wrecked Mustang (or was it a Camaro), and Crazy Miniature Lady-Serial-Killer is still sitting in jail, saying nothing, which means no one knows how she ‘napped Sara...and so thank God for flashbacks, because we see CMLSK hit her with a taser in the garage, and then stuff her in the trunk, and then drive out to the desert...and, flash forward, Grissom, looks worried as hell, and no wonder, cuz he knows Sara could drown...and flash-back, Sara figures a way out of the trunk and jumps CMLSK, who bops her good, ties her up and pins her under that darn car...and Gus still can't figure this one out....and - back to the wet desert - a coyote wants to lick Sara, but she's not in a licking mood...and FINALLY Nick gets an address of some car dump, and Captain Jim puts the strong arm on an old hippie who tells him where the car is...and the choppers finally locate it, but Sara's nowhere to be seen cuz she's unpinned her arm and wandered off into the desert, where it's finally stopped raining and is now really hot, and Gil and Catherine find a dead body, but it's a hiker who had some really bad luck, and...Finally, Sara's located by sharp-eyed Nick, but she's almost dead, until her eyes flutter...cut to Gus who smiles.
Grade: B +. Satisfying conclusion to arc, and no one expected Sara to die anyway. Fine cameo, too, by Wile E. Coyote (who I thought had retired.)
"Grey's Anatomy:"
Bunch o' snotty-nosed interns show up at Seattle Grace, and residents enjoy torturing them immensely, especially Cristina who's in a really foul mood, considering Burke's pretty much AWOL FOREVER... ...George is really miserable too cuz he's back in “kindergarten” after failing his exams, and still trying to deal with fact that Izzie loves him even though Sara may be having a baby...and McDreamy is kinda bummed too, insofar as he knows things are on the rocks with Mere, who now has to face that fact that she’s got a half-sister who's got a full-time gig at SG and who also happens to be younger and (gulp) prettier...
and Bailey's in a foul mood too, cuz all her old snotty-nosed residents now have to pay fealty to Callie and so she's become like a queen without an army (or something)...and McSteamy tries to be nice to McDreamy and they even have a quasi-gay moment, or maybe just a nice guy moment...then this kid and dad bring a dying deer to hospital, and a conflicted Izzie tries to save it, insofar as she is now metaphorically identifying herself with Bambi....and Lexie, that cute half-sister who I think used to star in "The Practice” or was it “That ‘80s Show?” tells George to stop whining, and he thinks she's darned nice, or "awesome"…and McDreamy and Mere pretty much agree that the marriage is on the rocks already but have sex anyway...then George tells Izzie he loves her too, which probably means Callie's not gonna be too happy, but we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Grade: B -. Good return, though the Bambi stuff was kinda stretching matters a little bit, and is anyone except McSteamy in a good mood these days?

I expected Wile E Coyote to rescue Sara.
And some of us have technology and know how to use it. "GA" is definitely no longer the must-see it briefly was.
