Maybe I'm deluded, but I just don't think Sara would be returning unless the plan was for her to leave with Grissom when he goes. If they weren't going to be together in the end, it would make sense for her to stay gone and that would leave time and space for other relationship development, if that was the direction TPTB planned to go.
In the recent TVG article on Sara's return, Jorja referred to the fact that she felt Sara went out on a beautiful, dignified note. I'm assuming TPTB pitched her something compelling to get her to return. As an actress, why would you go out on a strong note, just to come back and do something lame. That's one reason I think we'll see angst or a health scare or something ... Sara just sitting around waiting for Grissom to need a shoulder isn't going to top the taxi ride out of town/letter from her final episode. JMHO, of course!
OK, last ramble and then I'll stop for the day: I remember Jorja saying in an interview last year that she would've stayed with CSI if she thought it was nearing its end but, since she didn't anticipate that, she had to go. I think she's agreed to come back for multiple episodes as a way to arc Grissom out. I have no inside knowledge (and never will, I'm sure), but Jorja coming back to allow GSR to be destroyed just doesn't make sense to me on any level. I think that, worst-case-scenario, they'll leave it unclear and use that as a way to lure folks in for future guest spots. If they do that, though, they'll lose me. I'm sure they're shakin' in their boots over that one :lol:
