The shot of Nick finally pressing his hand against Grissom's and wincing out of relief or disbelief or some combination of the two just kills me. I have much love for George Eads for playing it out like that. He obviously knows what Nick has wanted for so long and how it would almost hurt to finally get it or to think that it was just another trick his mind was playing on him. After all, he had to have thought he was losing it with Grissom calling him by a childhood nickname. So much going on in that scene... Aye! Don't get me started. :) I can go on and on.

Again, it makes me very happy that you enjoyed this!
