CSI Las Vegas - Season 8 - Rumours and Spoilers

[Chloe O'brien]

I think this may be the episode where there is a cross-over with CSI and Without a Trace.

No news on Sara, but big news for the rest of the cast of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Fans are going to have to wait for the season premiere of CSI on September 27 to find out whether Sara is rescued. However, although Sara's fate remains unknown, executive producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar were more open about what will happen with the rest of the team in season eight. "It's a year of transition on CSI," Mendelsohn told TV Guide. "A year of people growing."

A story arc for Gil Grissom (William Petersen) involves bugs, specifically bees. In episode three, "Go to Hell", Grissom finds a beehive and takes it back to the lab to study. "He's trying to figure out why honeybees are dying around the world," Mendelsohn explained. "It's his science experiment for the year."

Grissom won't be spending all of his time with bugs. On November 1, CSI will be doing a crossover with Without a Trace. WAT's Jack Malone (Anthony LaPaglia) will spend some time in the Las Vegas crime lab with Grissom. Shankar described the crossover as "an intense, action-packed case that goes from Vegas to L.A. to maybe south of the border."

Season eight will bring changes for other characters as well. Nick Stokes (George Eads) is going to experience stress as he steps up in the lab, becoming more of a leader. "The question always is: Grissom is the supervisor, but who's the supervisor-in-waiting?" Mendelsohn said. Nick's friendship with Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) will be tested at a time when both men have things on their mind. While Nick deals with the pressure of being a leader, Warrick's marriage will continue to have problems and he will be forced to deal with some old Vegas mobsters. "Bad things can happen when you get involved with bad people," Shankar explained. This story arc will feature an episode directed by William Friedkin, who previously worked with Petersen on the movie To Live and Die in L.A..

The death of Catherine Willow's (Marg Helgenberger) father, Sam Braun (Scott Wilson), in season seven will lead her to contemplate her own life. Braun had been working on a casino project when he died, and Catherine will find herself getting involved. While Shankar did not say whether the effect would be positive or negative, he did say that the situation is "going to lead to some substantial, potentially career-altering decisions."

Without A Trace star Anthony LaPaglia (Jack Malone) heads to Las Vegas.

According to CSI Files sources, "Who and What" begins in the living room of a house downtown. It is night, and Kim Davis is playing Yahtzee with a ten-year-old boy. The boy seems slightly out-of-place, as if he does not belong here. He is not excited when he wins the game, and Kim gives up, handing him the television remote and leaving him to do whatever he wants.
Kim goes into the bathroom and draws a bath. She lights some candles and then lights a joint, inhaling the smoke from the marijuana before she gets into the bathtub. She relaxes in the water as the room begins to shake around her and a high-pitched whistle can be heard in the background. Train tracks run behind the house, and Kim is able to tune out a train as it roars by--she is clearly used to the noise. As the train continues to pass by, the shaking rattles the bathroom door. The latch comes open. Kim thinks that the boy might have opened the door, but he doesn't enter. It must have opened on its own.
Kim is buzzing from the marijuana, and she somehow finds the situation funny as she stares at the door, sitting partially open as the train barrels down the tracks behind the house. Then a hand appears through the crack in the door. It isn't the boy. It's a man's hand, pushing the door open farther. When the hand pulls back, it leaves a bloody handprint behind on the door. Kim does not even have the chance to scream before the man rushes into the room and drags her out of the tub. The room continues to shake from the train as he beats her viciously with an object in his hand.
Grissom's team must solve the double murder in the house, and things become more complicated when Jack Malone shows up at the lab. Malone heads the Missing Persons Squad of the FBI in New York City. He has come from New York to Las Vegas in pursuit of a missing boy. The dead child in Grissom's case is not the one he is looking for, but Malone is sure that the cases are connected. Not only that, but there is more to the story: the suspect in their cases, it turns out, is a serial killer. Please note that the above plot details have not been confirmed by CBS, Alliance Atlantis or Bruckheimer Films, and until such time you should treat this information as you would any other rumour. The above information comes from early script drafts and the details of the episodes are liable to change before the episodes are shown.

Grissom and the team are in a desperate search to find Sara, who was recently kidnapped by the miniature killer: Natalie Kimble. Their only clue to Sara’s whereabouts is a mysterious miniature that shows Sara trapped beneath a flipped red Mustang somewhere in the vast desert surrounding Las Vegas. Every member of the team serves an integral purpose in the hunt, with Catherine surveying the initial kidnapping scene, Greg scanning the desert in a helicopter and Nick and Warrick tackling Natalie's bizarre and terrifying apartment. Nick gets the luckiest break when he finds the location of the auto yard where Natalie purchased the Mustang. That clue and the digital maps Natalie had stored on her computer provide the team a radius with which to narrow their search.

But a storm is raging in the Las Vegas desert, and floodwaters begin to rise on Sara as she struggles to escape from beneath the car. She survived a treacherous ride out into nowhere with Natalie, and finally, she manages to free herself from the Mustang just in time. When morning breaks, the weather is hot, and Sara has nothing to eat or drink. She's mobile, but with a broken arm and the other injuries Natalie inflicted upon her, it's rough going. She walks continuously, doing anything she can to stay awake and survive.

All the CSIs fan out across the desert, and as the hours pass, Grissom becomes more and more frantic. Meanwhile, although she's in bad shape, Sara has her wits about her. She carries the rearview mirror of the Mustang along with her, and when she finally collapses in exhaustion, it remains visible. Soon, Nick spots the glint of the sun's reflection on the mirror, and he sprints to her side. A medevac helicopter is called to the scene, and with Grissom next to her, Sara is carried away to safety.
