Riley Adams is a good new character, but there is no way she can ever really replace Louise Lomb-- excuse me, I mean Jorja Fox.

I enjoyed Riley's character... the way she handled herself against the established character's she held up well. She understands what she's getting into (as you could tell by the discussion with the shrink) and she's not afraid to tell it like it is... I enjoyed when she told Gris that she thinks that because "I'm a Level 2 CSI." Clearly not the answer Gris was looking for... but I think she'll do just fine :)

Speaking of Gris... what's with him messing up in the lab?! This must be the beginning of his end...

As for the case itself... very very weird (Even for Vegas). Love how it was handled... and thought that the way the killer was doing it was a neat way. The little boy at the end, tho, that was just freaky how that was all set up.

Overall, I liked this episode a lot more than last weeks. This felt like it should have been Ep. #2 the way it felt into continuity (especially with the Shrink coming to talk to anyone about Warrick's death...)

I didn't like the grief lady, she came off as "I have to make you visit" instead of "I'll help you if you want me to".

And I was a little annoyed at the bodies, they looked a lot faker than CSI's usual. Maybe it was explained (I missed about 20 min towards the end).
