They had arrived back at the lab as soon as they were paged about a new case. It was late evening on Christmas day, some of the lab rats were back in for duty. As Sara went over the details, she knew that one of the other CSI's could take it. She passed the case to Ronnie, who was very excited to be going out solo, then returned to the break room. "Don't you have your girlfriend to out" she began at the figure who was seated at the table reading the latest issue of JFS who she thought was Hodges "Why honey, yes I do" as the person began lowering the book down to reveal himself as Gilbert Grissom. Sara could do nothing but stand shell-shocked as Mia came running into the break room with results in hand. "Oh, okay, I will just come back later" she said. Sara said "You're here, but how. Don't you have any lectures to attend to" "Hey, Merry Christmas to you too my dear. Apparently, they thought it would be good to break for Christmas too. So here I am ready to take you out" replied Grissom. "Oh, I thought you were Hodges. I didn't mean too" replied Sara as he pulled her in for a hug. "Why not we go celebrate?" asked Sara. Apparently it was that moment when Gil said that "It would be great if we had the whole team over for a little Christmas celebration of our own", as Ray was passing by and he had a little idea of his own.
