According to CSI Files sources, “Leaving Las Vegas” opens with an elderly woman, Addie Finch, washing dishes at night in the kitchen of her farmhouse. She hears creaking noises and calls out for “Jay,” but is answered with eerie silence. All of a sudden an out-of-focus silhouetted figure charges toward her, assailing her with a quick succession of stab wounds. Inside the courthouse, Catherine testifies at the murder trial of Jay Finch, Addie Finch’s son. The opening scene is a version of events that unfolds in the context of the courtroom. Catherine describes how CSI processed the knife and found blood from four different sources. One source being the victim, another her son, with two more belonging to unknown genetically related females. A series of short scenes runs through the murder case point-by-point, rather than chronologically. Catherine testifies that Jay Finch killed his mother because his blood was found on the knife and also in his mother’s bathroom. As stabbing is messing business, she hypothesizes that Finch likely cut himself. Ultimately, Finch’s attorney establishes reasonable doubt by getting Catherine to admit that it’s possible one of the two unknown females was the assailant. Finch is found not guilty. Catherine becomes determined to identify the two mystery blood sources, convinced they are two other victims of Finch’s. If she can identify them, Finch could be charged with a new crime. No double jeopardy and the knife could be used again. Catherine and Nick head to the small town of Mina, Nevada to investigate the bloody disappearance of Laura Burchfield and her daughter Robyn in the hopes of linking their blood to Finch’s knife. Their disappearances coincide with Catherine’s time line. Grissom drops a bomb on his team in this episode. He announces he will be taking a sabbatical.

Oh my God... I feel so guilty after reading this. I'm a sucker for spoilers, but this one is just MAJOR.
No, no, no! William Petersen is the best thing about CSI:LV. He can't leave! I thought that there was supposed to be a romance heating up between Grissom and Sara anyway.
This sound good. I know how you feel, billysbaby. I don't want him to leave. He is my second favorite, My first favorite is Nicky. But he will be missing for two episode then he return and you will scream that he is back. I don't want Catherine to take his place, no way, she is too power hungry. Nick is not going to be happy with her. I just love Nick and Grissom, you will tell by my user name.
I would just like a Nick/Sara episode, doesn't look like we are gonna get one, even tho 'Grissom' is away, but NO, anyway whats happening bout this guy that was gonna play the guy that replaces WP for the 2 episodes?
He won't be replaced for two eppisodes, he'll just be leaving. SADNESS OVERWHELMS ME. POOR SARA, SHE'LL DIE WITHOUT HIMMM.
Actually, he's just leave for four episodes. And being replaced for those four episodes by Liev Schreiber.
