The doors to the study open. Greg and Grissom enter the room. Greg walks over to the fireplace and kneels down, looking inside. He thinks there was some kind of struggle and maybe the killer left behind some skin fragments or a strand of hair on the red clay bricks. Grissom watches him.

The chair swings around and we see that it's Mr. Gel Dummy dressed up as Grissom, a large sign stuck on his chest: YOU PASSED! Everyone steps out into the room - Nick, Warrick, Sara, Catherine and Grissom. They cheer and applaud him. Sara gives Greg a hug. Catherine kisses Greg's cheek and gives him a hug. Everyone shakes his hand. Grissom smiles proudly at Greg. Ecklie comes in and congratulates Greg too. Then, he urges everyone to go back to work. Everyone leaves but Greg and Grissom. Greg doesn´t understand why he passed. He got the wrong guy and the wrong manner of death. Grissom soothes him. He doesn't expect Greg to be correct in all his interpretations all the time. Most important, Greg did his job. Grissom and Greg shake hands. In the doorway, Catherine holds up a bottle of champagne while the others hold their glasses. They're waiting for Greg. Greg rushes over and they hand him his glass. Grissom watches them celebrate.

Best Dialogs:
Greg: "So, are you going to say, "the game's afoot"?"
Grissom: "I didn't know you were a Conan Doyle fan, Greg."
Greg: "I'm not. I saw a Sherlock Holmes movie once by mistake."
Grissom: "Well, just so you know ... those movies never ended like this."

Hodges: "The fragment you found at the scene? It's a mother of pearl. It could be from an ornament or a piece of jewelry."
Greg: "It could be from a lot of things."
Hodges: "Yeah, that it could, Mr. Proficiency."

Greg: "I don't get it. I got the wrong guy, the wrong manner of death."
Grissom: "I don't expect you to be correct in all your interpretations all the time. You collected the evidence. You thought there was something missing, you went back and found it. Hey, that's the job. Congratulations, Greg."
Greg: "Thank you."

My Comment:
Finally, Greg´s dream came true. He is a CSI. Though, I´m happy for him I´m also a little bit sad. I miss the crazed lab boy from the earlier seasons. It´s quite a pity Greg had to grow up so fast. SIGH. In my heart, he stays the "MTV Boy" as Grissom entitled him so nicely and significant.

Greg and Grissom. In the field. Together. That´s almost enough to make me squeal. Grissom, the Sherlock Holmes fancier and his "I saw a movie once by mistake" boy. Fabulous. I literally squealed. It´s nice to see, Greg knows Grissom is a "Sherlock"-Fan. Grissom is slightly surprised and Greg smiles and teases him.
Does Greg even know it is his final proficiency before Grissom tells him at the scene? I´m not sure. Grissom taunts him further by "Emphasis on the final". Oh dear. Greg stays cool. Brass challenges him and Grissom gives Greg an encouraging look. My heart skips a beat. When Greg tells his theory, Brass and Grissom look at each other. Your boy is doing well - You think so?
When Greg wants to go back to the Crime Scene, Grissom doesn´t quite understand what he´s looking for but he let him do his work. In the moment when Greg is crawling into the fireplace and Grissom is watching him, I thought: Is he checking out Greg´s butt? Naughty me, always thinking about only three things - Greg - Grissom - sex.
The locker room. AH. I wrote a story in which they shared their first kiss in the locker room. So, every scene there is special to me. Get it on, boys.
Grissom gives Greg a tip (So nice of him) that his conclusions about the case might be wrong. Greg listens to him, thinks it over and gets back to work. He is unhappy because Grissom, who is the only person whose approval he longs for, hasn´t said a word yet. And he fears to fail his proficiency. Greg´s outfit is great. He´s such a cutie.
When Grissom examines the tubing under the magnifying glass Greg looks over Grissom's shoulder, using the opportunity to be as close as possible to him. Grissom doesn´t mind. I wrote a story about that too.
Does anybody but Grissom know that he was helping Greg to pass his proficiency? I don´t think so. Gil loves his "MTV boy" very much, doesn´t he?

Greg is quite surprised that Grissom let him pass and overwhelmed as well. The last look Greg gives Grissom before he runs off to celebrate with the gang implies: See you later alligator. In bed, where we will have our private party. My Imagination is always turned on. Grissom is so very, very proud of his boy. Since first season, I knew he likes Greg, in spite of all the fans who were arguing, Grissom didn´t. Some people are so naive.

Greg and Hodges. Yet another hilarious moment. The "Mr. Proficiency" tease is almost endearing. Greg´s amused look as well. That´s why I have these images in my head. Kissing. Grabbing. Hot Greggo/David sex. Help me, God, to find some time to write a story.
Grissom, suddenly joining them, makes Hodges uncomfortable. He acts totally different around Grissom even the tone of his voice changes. He leaves them quickly. Jealous again, David? About whom? The master or the grasshopper?
I think, Greg and Hodges agree that smoking is a bad habit.

Greg and Sara. In the field they are a good team. She is so nice to him, it´s startling. What has happened to this woman? Perhaps, it´s not Sara but her nice twin sister. Maybe, it´s even Sara´s clone.
Sara makes a joke, "Anyone for pizza?" about the brain splatters on the ground. Urgh! Greg doesn´t even smile. Is the world going nuts? In addition she throws him a peculiar look when he´s not noticing. And she smiles. What is it, Sara? Are you feeling suddenly lonely? Is it the "Greg is becoming a CSI" thing? Next, Sara invites him to celebrate after shift to drink a beer with her. GOOD GOD. Could it have been a date if Greg had shown any interest in her offer? But the crazy boy didn´t. I know why. He´s with the boss. Look hard and you can see the absolute confusion in Sara´s face. She doesn´t get Greg. For years, he flirted with her. Now, she gives him a chance and obviously he isn´t even listening to her. Greggo my boy, you are terrific. Later, she praises, "Way to go!" about his work on the case. At the end Sara hugs Greg dearly. Help me. I´m going to faint.

Brass teases Greg by addressing him "Dr. Watson". Ah. Guess who is Sherlock? Ah. Sherlock and Holmes. Slash. Men in bed. Oh yes. Thanks Brass for drawing the comparison. And look at the smirk on Brass´ face. He knows something we don´t know. The exchange between Brass and Greg let me think about the few slasher stories I read about that pairing. It was great stuff.

Greg and Catherine. She hugs him and kisses him on the cheek. Nice.

The end. He fears he had failed his proficiency. But the whole team surprises him. That was so sweet. Happy Greg. He passed and became a CSI. Ecklie tries to ruin Greg´s day but he fails. SNEER.

Archie - He knows something that Greg and Sara don´t know. Funny.

Random Thoughts:
Greg is allowed to photograph the body alone. Obviously, he is been trusted.

Ecklie says, "Catherine, nothing happened in this lab I don´t know about."
Are you sure, Conrad?
