Best episode quotes:

Stella: In my attempt to prove that Sebastian Diakos was the one who attacked me, I learned that both he and Kolovos were running an antiquities smuggling ring. The Cypriot government was on the hunt for Kolovos, so I... I delivered him. I was told that he would be arrested and detained. How and when he got back to New York, I don't know. Why did he come back?
Mac: Revenge. And the guy who killed him just might have saved your life.

Mac: I gave you a direct order to leave the Diakos investigation to me. You chose to ignore it.
Stella: I made a decision, Mac, and frankly, I would make the same decision again. I got a tip that he was on the move, so I took action.
Mac: What you did was make it personal.
Stella: It is personal. He tried to kill me.
Mac: You stepped way out of bounds on this one and you know it. You're a detective and you make an anonymous call alerting the police to Diakos's apparent murder. That's grounds for suspension! Or at least a desk assignment! You have any idea of the position you've put me in?
Stella: Oh, yes, I do. You know what? I'm gonna make this easier for you.
(She leaves her badge on his table and leaves)


Stella: Mac, I know I was wrong to keep investigating the case after you told me to step down. I'm sorry that I made it difficult for you and for the department.
Mac: This isn't about my job or the department. It was difficult because I care about you.
Stella: (Smiles) Thank you.


Stella is reading Mac's coffee grounds)
Mac: So I have a problem?
Stella: Well, it involves a woman. See, this woman... seems as though you have something that belongs to her. This item is gold and is worth far more in honor than fortune.
(Mac returns her badge to Stella)
Stella: You know, I don't need coffee grounds to see how lucky I am to have you in my life, Mac.
Mac: Okay, okay, what do you... what do you got in here?
Stella: See, there you go. See that right there? That's an 'S'. That would be 'Stella', the woman in your life who sometimes you adore, and sometimes she drives you crazy.


Danny: How's Lucy?
Lindsay: She's great. Her first visit to the lab is a big hit.
Danny: What, uh... what's Blake doing right now?
Lindsay: Oh, he's so good with babies. She adores him.
Danny: No, she doesn't adore him. The only man in her life is me. (To Blake) Hey, buddy! Don't you have some DNA to look at?
(Lindsay chuckles)
Adam: Watch out, Blake, here comes daddy!

Adam: Priapus. The male God of Virility?
Lindsay: (Referring to Danny) Oh, that's what I call him.
Danny: That's right, huh? All right, well, my personal weapon aside...

OH MY GODS…

*Sighs* This episode really brought me down…at least the finale was thrilling and much better…The overall writing of the episode sucked (no offence Melina; love your acting…not so much your writing).

Okay, number one: a Greek play suddenly jumps to Mac and Stella arguing…yeah, that makes a lot of sense…which writer wrote that?! Hopefully, not Melina…I don’t think she’s that stupid…

The D/L crappage made me want to PUKE! The Messer Family…Danny, Lindsay, Lucy…DLL…that’s how I’ll refer to them from now on…everyone say hello to the big, happy family: DLL…! I am so damn smart…!!! *Rolls eyes*

(PS: If I see that baby one more time in the lab, in the break room, I don’t care where on the show, I will stop watching the show…I swear! Sure, she’s cute, but cuteness is not the most important factor in a crime drama/police procedural!!!!!!)

Was this episode an EPISODE SCRIPT or a screwed up fanfiction with a dash of a cheesy soap opera…? ‘Cause that’s what it felt like…Not happy, Melina…!!!
