Honestly, I'd been more interested if Cathrine and Warrick had a fling or an actual serious relationship. They hinted at it in Season Five, but it went no where. I'd actually like to see an interracial relationship appear in one of the CSI Franchises...

Besides Horatio Caine and The Delko girl, she got killed off to fast, so in my eyes that doesn't count, we need something long term here people!!!
