Chaos Theroy

As writers, we were all obsessed with connection and chain of events. This passion led to this episode.

Ellie

S2 E10
Dec 7, 2001
'CSI Alert. This is the first time CSI was ranked number 1 in the Neilson ratings. The year, 2001. It stars Captain Jim Brass's daughter Ellie. Her relationship with her father is strained.

The Finger

S2 E14
Feb 1, 2002
Anthony E. Zuiker says, 'This episode is a classic. Written by our showrunner, Carol Mendelsohn, and our top director, Danny Cannon, 'The Finger' is a story about Catherine Willows (Marg Helenberger) getting involved in a kidnapping of a real estate developer's mistress. The rabbit shot is so iconic that we blew it up and pinned it in our writer's offices.'

Stalker

S2 E19
Apr 5, 2002
Anthony E. Zuiker says, 'Check out these names. Leland Orser and Doug Hutchison star in this nail biting episode. I got the idea when I read about Bjork's stalker Ricardo Lopez who took his life after terrorizing the iconic singer. It was so disturbing, but it did intrigue my thirst for this type of dark pathology. Stalker is a classic. Just remember to watch it with some 'green tea' handy.'

Cross-Jurisdictions

S2 E22
May 10, 2002
This is the episode that launched CSI Miami with the introduction of David Caruso in this episode. We flew out of the desert and landed in the water to spin off our second successful series. These were the very best times in Hollywood where your boss would say 'Pick a city.' As producers, we'd say 'Miami' and the next thing you know CSI Miami was born. Cue sunglasses being whipped off.'

The Hunger Artist

May 17, 2002
