Catherine and Gil argued the night following the shoving incident. Of
course, it was about Eddie. It was always about Eddie.
"He said you threatened him." Catherine accused.
"Yeah, well, I was angry. Look, I have a bruise on my chest. He's not gonna start beating me up too." Gil retorted. He glared at her, daring her to say something else. She dropped her eyes, folded her arms across her chest and turned away from him. They were both in pain. He hated to hurt her this way. She hated the whole situation.
"Something has to change, Cath. We can't keep going on like this." Gil said softly. He left. She cried. She had a feeling something had just changed and that something was she was losing Gil Grissom.
Grissom intended for things to change. He began to distance himself from Catherine. He mostly worked with Sara if he went in the field at all. It was part of his plan. Brass and Warrick would certainly put him on a suspect list. Even if they didn't want to, they were professionals. They both knew he and Catherine had more than a "work" relationship. He would have to be a suspect unless he took steps to make them think he and Cath were no longer involved. Even his hearing problems were going to be helpful. He planned for that to be his way back into Catherine's heart. It would be his excuse for having become distant with her. After a suitable time had passed, he would tell her he had to have surgery. She'd be there for him. Then, they were going to become the family he wanted.
