Here's my two cents' worth. I'm leaning toward the idea that Langston will die, or at least be injured severely enough that he can't continue as a CSI. I know all about the twitter message and about the contract that LF has supposedly signed. But until CBS issues a press release, it's not official. And just because a contract's been signed doesn't mean that it's for all of Season 11. Take Jorja Fox as a case in point. Her contract ran out at the end of season 7, and she signed another one covering the first six episodes of season 8. And as we all recall, TPTB are pretty good about security re actors signing/not signing contracts.
I've seen a lot of criticism about the security around Haskell in the jail but after Barkely allowed himself to be lured into stunning Haskell, resulting in a minor injury to the prisoner, the police probably decided to avoid future such events and rely on cameras for surveillance for the rest of what they thought would be Haskell's brief stay. After all, Jekyll's caught, so Haskell would be headed back to Ely the next day. I agree Ray was dumb to turn his back on Haskell, but hey, this is the same still-inexperienced CSI that didn't think to check under the blanket when chasing Jekyll through the hospital. (A mistake Nick wouldn't have made. Just look at the way he made all the doctors in the operating room unmask and vouch for each other.)
People have complained that their glasses wouldn't make good shivs. Well, glasses bought at places like Sears, Pearle Vision, or other big chain stores, probably wouldn't. But I doubt that's not where the State of Nevada buys glasses for its charges. They probably buy cheap, hard-plastic frames in bulk. The piece that I saw Haskell hide away looked to have a pretty good point already from the break; it wouldn't have needed much sharpening.
A final thought about Jekyll. Could he possibly have sneaked into Langston's seminar, where we first met Haskell. How else would Haskell have made the leap from a wierd way of presenting pasta to connect the cook with the Jekyll murders unless he had seen the cook in the audience at Langston's seminar.
