ummary

Gil Grissom believes that the construction worker's death was murder and not a suicide or an accident. Aided by Sara Sidle and Warrick Brown, he sets out to prove that a crime exists before solving it. Catherine Willows and Nick Stokes investigate a 14-year-old boy's death at his therapist's home.

Critical analysis

The story of the teenager's death bears close resemblance to the real story of Candace Newmaker, suffocated during a treatment session for reactive attachment disorder. Similar stories appeared in "" ("" [ [http://www.tv.com/law-and-order-special-victims-unit/cage/episode/913605/summary.html Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Cage - TV.com ] ] ) and "Law & Order" ("Born Again" [ [http://www.tv.com/law-and-order/born-again/episode/123756/summary.html Law & Order: Born Again - TV.com ] ] ).

Mistakes

At the beginning of the episode Grissom incorrectly claims that terminal velocity is 9.8m/s. In fact terminal velocity depends on drag - a feather has a lower terminal velocity than a bowling ball. It would appear that the writers got mixed up between terminal velocity the acceleration of a falling object in a vacuum which is 9.8m/s².
