Lenkov: We Lose A Member Of Our Family

CSI Files

Captain
Someone will die in the <I>CSI: New York</I> season finale, according to executive producer <font color=yellow>Peter Lenkov</font>.<p>The final episode of <I>New York</I>'s fifth season will find the CSI team "on the trail of a team of sophisticated kidnappers-turned-cop killers," Lenkov told <A class="link" HREF="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/">Ausiello</a>. "Their crime will forever change the <I>CSI: NY</I> lineup." That change comes in the form of a character death. "We lose a member of our family [in the season finale] -- and that's just in the first 10 minutes," Lenkov revealed. The finale will also mark the final appearance of <font color=yellow>Craig T Nelson</font> as Robert Dunbrook, the publishing mogul introduced in <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/newyork/season5/the_partys_over.shtml">"The Party's Over"</a>.<p>Before the finale, the team will deal with hatred in the twenty-second episode of the season, "Yahrzeit". As CSI Files previously <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/news/010309_01.shtml">reported</a>, <font color=yellow>Ed Asner</font> will guest star in the episode. He will be joined by <font color=yellow>Shelley Berman</font>. "Our CSIs find themselves investigating a crime that takes them into the world of racism and bigotry, only to uncover a deep, dark secret that dates back to the Holocaust," Lenkov shared, adding that Mac Taylor (<font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font>) "will learn something about his father he never knew."<p>Much sooner than "Yahrzeit" and the as-yet-untitled season finale, <I>CSI: NY</I> will get a visit from <Font color=yellow>Pete Wentz</font> and <font color=yellow>Ashlee Simpson-Wentz</font>. CSI Files previously <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/news/210109_01.shtml">reported</a> that the pair would guest star on the show. On March 18, they will appear in <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/newyork/season5/point_of_no_return.shtml">"Point of No Return"</a>, which is the eighteenth episode of the season. "I wish I got the chance to be murdered or rob a bank but I heard the make-up is much longer for that," Wentz told <A class="link" HREF="http://www.people.com/people/0,,,00.html">People Magazine</a>. In the episode, the real life couple plays a pair of Bonnie and Clyde wannabes who get caught in the middle when a drug deal goes bad. <I>People</I> posted a clip from the episode <A class="link" HREF="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20263379,00.html">here</a>.<p>The original news about the finale and "Yahrzeit" is from <A class="link" HREF="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/03/exclusive-csi-n.html">Ausiello</a>. The information about Simpson and Wentz is from <A class="link" HREF="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20263379,00.html">People</a>.<center></center>
 
I assume this means someone from the main cast has decided to permanently leave the show. Which one could it be?
