Trivia: Carmine Giovinazzo is the first series regular to appear on all three "CSI" series. He made a guest appearance in the Vegas "CSI" third season episode "Revenge is Best Served Cold," his character was introduced in the Miami cross-over episode "MIA/NYC Nonstop," and is a series regular on NY. He has since been followed by Gary Sinise (Mac).
Trivia: In the episode, "Blood, Sweat, and Tears," Stella is questioning an elephant trainer. When she starts naming off a list of cities the circus has been, the very first one is Providence. Melina Kanakaredes, who plays Stella, was the star of the NBC show "Providence" for several years.
Trivia: Melina Kanakaredes' departure from the series at the beginning of season seven was the show's first major casting change in five years, when Anna Belknap replaced Vanessa Ferlito.
Trivia: At the end of the episode, several of the musicians backing Mac and his guests are from the Lt. Dan Band, which is fronted by Gary Sinise.
Trivia: Outside the greenhouse where the abducted kids are being held are posters for the Weak Alibis, the Missing Notes and Rough Sects, which were bands that either appeared or were mentioned in the season 2 episode "Stuck on You." (00:37:40)
Trivia: During the scene when Stella and Mac were going over the scenario with the card players the last names of the players were actual card players from real life professional card players 1 Kelly Lindgren is actually Eric Lindgren 2. Eddie Brunson is actually Doyle Brunson 3. Joel Ivey is actually Phil Ivey 4. Mike Hansen is actually Gus Hansen.
Suggested correction: Theoretically correct, but it can be argued that the only evidence present is the bullet (which has DNA and prints burnt off when fired) and the body (which can only be handled by the MEs) gloves are not required.

What utter rubbish. No CSI would enter a crime scene without first putting on latex gloves - it is a carved-in-stone rule.
Exactly. Since Mac, Stella and Danny were processing a crime scene, they would need to wear gloves because without them, they would have contaminated a crime scene by not only getting their fingerprints over everything but, if one of them got a cut or scrape, their DNA would also be thrown into the mix and any defense attorney can call them out on their carelessness and have any evidence thrown out.
