Spoiler catch up!
8.09 "Means to an End"
~ There's a flashback to the rape case in DC. Senator Matthews contacted the FBI director and requested help from the crime lab after Serena was raped. He didn't want to deal with the police because he wanted to protect his daughter from the press, news conferences, etc - that's also why he didn't take her to a hospital. Jo and a man from the FBI crime lab, Frank, went to the Senator's house to process Serena.
~ Jo sees Frank in the courtroom in the present, after the preliminary hearing for John Curtis's current case. They have lunch together, and Jo finds out that he got divorced, and his ex-wife took their kids and moved to Indiana. A lot has changed in the past two years, but Jo had no idea - she might have tried to call him if she thought he would have answered. Jo says she's sorry about what happened in DC, but she doesn't regret turning him in after he made a mistake with the DNA evidence and then tried to cover it up. He knows he messed up, and he accepts that, but he still blames her for turning him in.
8.11 "Who's There?":
~ Ron and Elizabeth are having dinner in their Upper West Side home when they hear the doorbell ring. Elizabeth heads to the door and looks through the peephole. She sees a package sitting outside, so she opens the door--and promptly gets pushed aside by a pair of attackers in ski masks. These two people tape their hands and mouths and demand access to Ron's safe--rich people like them always have a safe. They protest at first, but Ron acquiesces when one of the attackers holds a gun to his head. He leads the attacker into his office and lets the person empty the safe. Ron is able to get free of the tape around his wrists and starts to struggle with the attacker, pulling off the man's ski mask. Elizabeth gets a good look at him, but she doesn't know him. The man hits Ron and knocks him unconscious, and Elizabeth is forced into another room at gunpoint. They tape her feet together and tell her not to move or she'll be killed. She waits in the room until she's sure they're gone, then she crawls her way into the other room to her husband's side--but Ron is dead.
~ Ron is involved in real estate, and Mac has seen his face on billboards around the city.
~ Ron and Elizabeth's marriage is on the rocks, and it has been causing problems between Ron and his business partner, Phillip.
~ It looks like Lindsay and Flack have a scene together. They have some banter about the difference between men and women, and they go after a suspect.
Miscellaneous:
~ These links for
TV Line and
TV Guide are older, but the information about Jo's past is still relevant. (Thanks to
Perfect Anomaly.) Some of the information in
this CSI Files post is still relevant as well.
~ According to
TV Guide, Olivia Crocicchia will be in episode 8.07 as a high school student who becomes a suspect after a classmate who humiliated her ends up dead.
~ 8.07 (scheduled to air November 4) will be the first of a three-episode arc that will feature the rape case from Jo's past in DC (the one she told Lindsay about in "Vigilante" last season). According to
Entertainment Weekly, a young woman named Ali (played by Beau Garrett) accuses John Curtis (Jason Wiles) of raping her. The site also
posted that Jeffrey Nordling will play Senator Matthews. The Senator's daughter Serena (Jenn Proske) was the victim in the original case, and he comes to New York after Curtis is arrested for raping Ali. He puts pressure on the NYPD to catch Curtis this time--he doesn't want this rapist to go free again.

Set pictures of Sela filming with Jason Wiles.
~ Tony Oller will
guest star in an upcoming episode.
~ Pictures from Twitter. The crypt is from 8.06. I believe the exterior of that house will be featured in 8.07. The trashed living room appears to be from 8.07 as well. No idea about the guns:
~ Here's a picture of Gary and Sela:
~ This
post has some pictures from 8.05 featuring Flack and his sister Sam (Kathleen Munroe), along with one picture from 8.06.
~ According to
TV Guide, Michael Weston (House, Six Feet Under) will appear during the 3-episode arc relating to the rape case that drove Jo out of the FBI. Weston will play Frank, Jo’s former partner from the FBI crime lab in Washington, DC. Frank made a mistake processing evidence in the Serena Matthews rape case, and Jo refused to cover up his error. This caused serial rapist John Curtis to go free, and Frank shows up when Curtis strikes again in New York City. His episode is scheduled to air November 18. (Thanks to
Perfect Anomaly.)
