Jeremy Kent is innocent. That’s how he tells it, anyway. He goes before a court to say that nearly twenty years before he was convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, almost entirely because of the testimony of his cellmate who was instructed to do so by their mutual lawyer. The court agrees that he never got a fair trial, and therefore they’re giving him his chance now.

Ahh, nothing like a good nerdcon. This doesn’t bring back memories for me at all. And who is better to represent this episode than CSI’s dorkiest labtech, Hodges! He’s at a convention for Astro Quest, a strangely familiar looking sci-fi show. And who should he meet there but Wendy! It seems that she too is a Quester. They share a few tender dork moments before a shriek interrupts their flirting. An exhibitor is dead, and it doesn’t seem likely that aliens had anything to do with it.

It’s a rough day at Lucha Libre, and not just for the fighters. A young woman is weaving drunkenly through the crowds at the side of the ring, and she doesn’t look very happy about being intoxicated. In fact, she looks just a bit nervous. She stumbles out of the arena and onto the street, trying to hail a cab or an ambulance, but no one stops for her. She’s on her own… or is she? It seems that a masked luchador is in pursuit, and it isn’t too long before he catches up to her and kills her.

This week's CSI opens with what looks like the showdown of the episode, rather than the dead bodies. The team is patrolling through what looks like a derelict old restaurant kitchen, looking for someone. Someone finds them, however, and Greg is taken hostage. Luckily it's a training exercise and Greg is a-ok.

If procedural dramas have taught us anything over the years, it would have to be these facts: if the maid discovers maggots coming out from underneath the door at a shady motel, there will be a dead body; if there is some blood spotted next to a pool by a scraggly teenager with earphones in, there will be a body; if you see a giant Hummer speeding towards a man standing by his car, there will definitely be a body.

It's court day for Ray, and as he sits up front, telling the tale of Congressman Edward Griffin's supposed murder of Amber Jones, a stripper involved with the congressman, a shot is fired outside the courtroom. When Catherine and Ray head out to see what the commotion is, they find that a man has shot himself in the head just outside the door. This man was the congressman's chief of staff, Dominic Humphries, and he shot himself with the same type of gun used in Griffin's supposed crime.

The plot thickens!

Looking for a drive-thru for a midnight snack? Better steer clear of Choozy’s Chicken, because they’re obviously not open past nightfall. The only people left at the restaurant seem to be a worker closing up the till and a bunch of hoodlums in ski masks hell-bent on driving the chicken statue through the front window. Not the best late-night clientele.

You'll need a strong stomach for this CSI as a fighter hopped up on steroids rips the arm off an FBI agent and then uses a piece of glass to pull out his own bicep, which he leaves on the ground. We get a first row seat for these activities, plus the autopsy. Can we all just say “ew”.

It’s Langston’s first day on the job as a CSI Level 1. He arrives with his Inspector Gadgetesque suitcase and wearing a snazzy suit only to discover that CSI is not compatible with suits and that more fingerprint powder isn’t necessarily better. Some burned flesh and spit later, his suit and idealism have been sullied, but he’s still on the job. And somebody dies. As usual.

Tonight's CSI officially ended an era. Grissom announces that he's leaving CSI. This probably isn't news for anyone who saw the preview from last week or has read the news coverage on the show lately, but now it's official: William Peterson is moving on.

It's a sad CSI tonight as we learn about two sets of lovers who are separated by years, but united by tragedy. The death of a young singer leads the CSI team to an abandoned casino and an old murder. Along the way we learn that Greg has a sequin fetish and Grissom originally came to Vegas to play cards. The last one was a surprise. The sequins? Not so much.

Sometimes life and death intersect. When paramedics respond to neighbor's complaints of gunshots, they find a mother and daughter, Janelle & Nora Rowe, shot after coming home with takeout. Nora, the daughter, is still alive, and the paramedics trash the crime scene to save the girl. Unfortunate for the CSIs, but sometimes they owe the living more than the dead.

A cheerful afternoon in Koreantown turns deadly when a hail of bullets comes out of nowhere. People run for cover, but one little boy stands still, spattered in blood.

Later in the day, the police and CSIs are at the scene. Two people are dead – a man and a woman. The man is Sung Bang, recently released from prison. The woman is unidentified. The crowd is unhelpful, but a pair of child’s sunglasses covered in blood tells them that there’s one witness out there who is not talking just yet.

CSI never fails to make me cry. All those poor dead people, their families, Catherine’s “professional” attire… and this episode tries to hook us all in immediately. It’s a motif that runs throughout the episode – Grissom watching and rewatching a video that seems to be Sara’s final goodbye. Whether or not it is truly the goodbye remains to be seen (and with Jorja Fox’s track record for staying off the show when she’s supposed to be off, I’d have to say it’s doubtful). Either way, Grissom looks pretty broken up about it.

But enough of this sentimental stuff. Let’s get to the “body” of this episode.

Nothing creepier than the already-creepy city of Las Vegas decked out for Halloween. Luckily, the Las Vegas Crime Lab knows what to expect. This week’s episode opens with Riley and Nick investigating some liquor store burglaries. They interrupt one in progress, apparently being robbed by… a cop? Nick chases him down while Riley calls for back-up. They run through what looks like an old abandoned building, with Nick cornering the suspect in a room. The suspect decides he doesn’t want to be cornered, however, and jumps out of a window to his death rather than be captured. He lands in a garbage container and cuts himself to ribbons with broken glass. Ouch.

There's another serial killer at work in Las Vegas and this one likes to pose victims like they're statues. It's exceedingly creepy. In other news, Grissom makes a mistake on a simple lab test. I think this may be the end of the world as we know it.
