Sara and Grissom do you think the end is near? (page: 1 2 3 4)

Their whole body language suggest that they're not going to stay together, then their conversation about Pam and Tom's situation and Sara remark "are we talking about ...or us". I hope that in Grissom's last episode he just show's up on her doorstep with tickets to the Gallopigus Islands and they go to where Darwin came up with his theory of evolution. They both looked so tired; bone tired.

am i the only one that noticed that greg mentioned to sara that he talked to DA Klien? I wonder if sara knew bout grissom's "relationship" with da Klien? i think that in the episode "Blood Lust" when grissom said that he was "just on a date". it was DA Klien. just throwing that out there.

PS: Rock on GSR!
