Goofs
After Gil and Catherine find the silver BMW in the shack, they open the trunk and find a body with a chunk missing from the back of its head. Gil says he doubts it is a suicide and reaches into the trunk and removes a crowbar. As he holds it up, he calls it a tire iron. The octagonal shape of the bar, the leverage curve and the v-notch on the working end are clearly visible. A tire iron has the flat opposite of the curved end, the flat doesn't have a notch, and the curve is a dog-leg instead of a U. This mistake is also repeated during the autopsy when Gil states "We found a tire iron at the scene..."

Quotes
Gil Grissom: Abigail, I'm sure if there is something out there, looking down on us from somewhere else in the universe, they're wise enough to stay away from us.

Jim Jones Redux

Moderately interesting episode involving a cult that feels after suicide they would end up in paradise--cosmic paradise. A man's body is found in the yard of a couple who live on the edge of the desert. He has been dragged three miles and dumped. When Catherine and Gil go into the desert, they find an old compound and there are beds filled with the dead. This is a different plot line where it doesn't involve show girls or hookers dead in the street.
