For a moment the debate about whether the first cast was the best (yes!~) this episode shows that every now and then the writers would indulge themselves and take a sharp turn. This entire episode leads to a 30 second piece of dialog from Grissom, then credits roll.

Two people are brutally murdered in house. Grissom gets really into this case. It turns out that a nurse with promiscuity problems has been having dalliance with several doctors. As a matter of fact, it is pretty much known that she is living sort of dangerously. Unfortunately for her, the guy she is most connected to is one of the bodies. She is the other. Grissom takes on a kind of "Laura" thing, being attracted to the dead woman and her life. She also looks a lot like Sara Sidle and Grissom can't seem to pull the trigger on his feelings for her. This is one of the more realistic episodes and it is well done.

The Promiscuous Nurse When the nurse Debbie Marlin is found murdered in her bathroom, the CSI team investigates the case. They learn that Debbie was a promiscuous woman that used to date doctor. Her last boyfriend Dr. Michael Clark is missing and becomes the prime suspect of murdering her. However, their further investigation finds pieces of his body in plastic bags in several trash bins in an alley. Dr. Robbins concludes that the cuts have been made by a surgeon using probably a scalpel.

"Butterflied" is a disappointing episode of "CSI" where the killer does not go to justice. The investigation of the team is great, Grissom opening his heart is unusual but the criminal leaving the precinct without punishment is not good. The real life shows that nothing happens to powerful and wealthy and it is not necessary to show the same in a fictional TV show. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Destrinchado" ("Unraveled")

Considering this episode is on dozens of Top Ten CSI episodes I was disappointed with the episode in it's entirety. Lots of great moments and guest stars (Dick Roman from Supernatural! That alone earned this one an extra star) but on the whole (despite the fact that I enjoyed the understated tone of Butterflied) I was still left feeling like this was one of the less stellar installments. Still not an altogether bad episode- but there a so many others that give so much more.

How did anyone ever believe Grisom and Sara would ever end up together? Personally never bought it for a moment. And they continue on in the afterlife with CSI VEGAS. This story line should never have been brought to fruition. Sara is damaged goods. Grisom would never marry someone like her. Have loved this show from the beginning and have watched it over and over. Have the whole series on DVD. But NEVER and still don't believe they ended up together.
