Trivia
Another episode in Hodges' "Lab Rats" story arc, with CSI self-parodying itself.

Goofs
When Langston and Hodges are in the lab, Langston quotes "You are great, I am great." from Star Trek. However, they mistakenly attribute the quote to the M5 computer, instead of the creator, Richard Daystrom.

Quotes
Wendy Simms: Hey. I saw you and Henry in the hall earlier and...
David Hodges: Look, I haven't been messing with Henry. I'm not trying to spoil your date and I hope that you guys have a very nice life together.
Wendy Simms: I really wasn't trying to blame you for anything. I was just checking in.
David Hodges: Why are your hands in your pockets?
Wendy Simms: [awkwardly] Because I'm socially awkward and it gives me a sense of security.
David Hodges: [throws a cardboard box at her head. When she doesn't take her hands out, he continues] You know, after Henry accused me I suspected that someone was trying to pin their practical jokes on me so... I mixed up a little something called "Detection Spray" and I put it all over the surfaces that I thought Henry would most vulnerable to pranks, including his locker. It's essentially a ninhydrin solution that goes on clear and reacts with the amino salts in perspiration, leaving a stain on anyone who touches it. And the more that the person tries to wash it off, the more the stain spreads.
Wendy Simms: That's really fascinating - I should go.
[starts to leave]
David Hodges: I can last up to five days. You may want to wear a dress with pockets tonight.
Wendy Simms: [stops and turns around. After a moment, she takes her hands out and shows him the stain] I'm not proud of this.

Just for Fun

I won't say much here. It involves a trio of junior cadets under the tutelage of Hodges. He works them through a series of problems, but in the process exaggerates and pokes fun at serious figures. For instance, he convinces them that Brass is a hard core alcoholic with suicidal tendencies. Other figures act silly. The doc watches cat videos on the operating screen while a victim is being processed. And Nick has to run down a series of cops who are violently ill.
