Arguing with myself and ooh! Shiny!

I've been watching CSI all day/reading fanfic/doing laundry and I came to a realization about Greg Sanders.  A couple days ago I was watching one of the episodes from season 9 (the one where Langston and Reiley get held hostage) and I was discussing with my dad how much Greg's character has grown and matured over the course of the series.  The last episode to show on Spike just now was "Big Shots" where Aaron James (Demetrius James' brother) is involved in an investigation, and Ms. James starts yelling and screaming at Greg that he "Owes her" and all the shit that's happened to her family is on him and insulting him and such.  Now, before this point, Greg would have felt all guilty and just stood there looking like a kicked puppy, but he doesn't.  Instead, he turns and confronts her, and stands up for himself, because he shouldn't feel guilty about the choices Demetrius made, and the choices Aaron has made since then.  In my mind, I can pretty well point to that episode as the one where Greg really comes into himself.  It's actually really impressive.
