S7Ep13: Redrum
In last week's classic we already mentioned Nick's herocomplex (S1Ep11); in this episode from season 7 he is going all out when he thinks Catherine and Keppler are hiding something. Watch him go all alpha male; Greg is a little overwhelmed...

And so are we. We can't even think of subtext, because all of Nick's frustrations are right there on the surface! Grab your woobie and hold on:

"We're a team now."

Later that night...

"...and then he WINKED at me!"

;-)

We hardly dared to breathe during all this and like Greg felt quite intimidated by fierceful Nick. How about you? There is room to cling to each other in the comments!

Fierce Nicky is actually kinda scary :(
*Hides behind Greggo*

Greg was rather brave and even attempted to ligthen the mood, but in the end Nicky won:)

With the huge chocolate brown eyes seen in the 6th screen cap I can see why <3

[not_so_logical]

He really knows how to lay on the peer pressure. ;)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

He sure does. Plus he has that intimidating stare.

With just the screencaps, it almost looks like a lover's quarrel.
The last cap, why do I have no recollection of what/where it's from/what the scene is?

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Heh. That was the intention of cutting Sara and Warrick out of most pictures *grins*

That last cap is the confrontation scene; when Catherine and Keppler tell the team why they did what they did. Nick is standing behind Greg being all pissy, still.

[postnotice.livejournal.com]

Haha, so clever.

Oohhhhh, okay. I don't think I've actually seen that, yet. D: At least, not recently enough to remember. Thanks though!

That's what I thought as well - like Nick was bitching at Greg about the dirty laundry and empty refrigerator!

[sillie]

I especially love the wink. <3

"...and then he WINKED at me!" Ha!

Your sense of humor gets me every time. I love it.

I was very proud of Nick in this one. It seemed the final transition from the Nick who always followed the rules and the orders of Grissom and Catherine without question, to the take-charge Nick we know now.

The buzz cut, beefed-up body and leather jacket really added to his intimidating presence.

I always felt this was a real turning point for Gregg as well. He seemed so confidant and natural when he said (something to the effect of) You didn’t think we’d figure it out? It’s what we do.

That was the first time I really felt that Greg was a full-fledged CSI and not the new guy in training.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thanks:)

Yes, this was a very significant episode for Nick's development; it was the first time he was able to redirect his anger and act on it. In the old days he would either explode or sulk. I really felt he had the potential to be the next supervisor and it was a shame his disagreement with Catherine's method wasn't explored in later episodes.

Greg was finally part of the team here, not just the ex-labrat. I loved his confidence in the confrontation scene.

:-D

(It's what HAPPENED)

I've only seen this episode once, but I think I remember that part. I was going to say something but I can't remember after reading all the other comments. I do want to say that I think Nick can be intimidating whenever he wants to be, when he needs to be. And I also think while Greg may have been there to listen to Nick vent, later he could bother Nick about being his personal bodyguard.
I LOVE screencap #7! Greg's face-he's so cute!

Personally I think Nick being all Alpha is hot. In the pics, I don't think Greg is so much intimidated. I think he's trying to keep himself composed so he can jump Nick's bones when they get home!
