CBS has issued official press releases for all three new CSI episodes airing this week.
First up is CSI: Miami's "Fade Out," airing tonight at 10:00pm. Here's how the network described the episode:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>The CSIs must investigate when a series of murders have an eerie similarity to an unproduced screenplay. Evidence shows that a series of murders at Miami's hottest clubs are linked to organized crime, but also leads Horatio and the team to a pair of Miami film students whose screenplay mirrors the details of the crimes. Now, the CSIs must track down anyone who had read their fictional script and wanted to turn it into a deadly reality. Meanwhile, Ryan's eyesight worsens and jeopardizes his future with the crime lab.
</font></blockquote>"Fade Out" was directed by <Font color=yellow>Scott Lautanen</font>, who this season also already helmed Miami's "Felony Flight." The episode was written by <Font color=yellow>Corey Miller</font>, who on his blog already extensively wrote about the episode's development process.
The following actors will be making a guest appearance in "Fade Out:"
<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Ana Alexander</font> as Sienna[*]<font color=yellow>Chris Batstone</font> as Leo[*]<font color=yellow>Mike Lane</font> as Officer[*]<font color=yellow>Matt McColm </font> as Jake Richmond[*]<font color=yellow>James Russo</font> as Joey Salucci[*]<font color=yellow>Boti Bliss</font> as Valera[*]<font color=yellow>Jsu Garcia</font> as Cesar 'Cuzz' Morales[*]<font color=yellow>Brooke Bloom</font> as Cynthia Wells[*]<font color=yellow>Zach Grenier</font> as Professor Meyer[*]<font color=yellow>Austin Nichols</font> as Patrick Wilder[*]<font color=yellow>Michael Mitchell</font> as Ben Williams[*]<font color=yellow>Evan Handler</font> as Norman Stein[*]<font color=yellow>April D. Parker </font> as Dr. Medby[/list]
Besides recurring actors Boti Bliss and Brooke Bloom, four other of the above guest stars have a previous connection to the CSI franchise. Ana Alexander played Zoya Pavlova in the first-season CSI: New York episode "Blink," while on that same show and in the same season Zach Grenier appeared as Ross Howell in "ReCycling." James Russo played Sinclair in the fourth-season original CSI episode "Getting Off," and finally Austin Nichols played Adam Walkey in the first-season original CSI episode "Sounds of Silence."
On Wednesday at 10:00pm, you'll be able to watch the final new CSI: New York episode for a while, "Stuck On You." Here's what you can expect from the episode:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Mac, Det. Flack and Dr. Hawkes investigate the death of a model and an injured 20-something billionaire who were both speared by an arrow while hooking up at his party. Stella, who was attending the event as a guest, joins the investigation as the team works to discover who was the intended target--the playboy who is notorious for his conquests, or the model he had just met. Meanwhile, Danny and Lindsay question a multitude of suspects when a music promoter is found dead, coated with glue and covered in the billboard posters of the band he was trying to break out.
</font></blockquote>Director <font color=yellow>Jonathan Glassner</font> this season also helmed New York's "Jamalot." "Stuck On You" was written by two people: <font color=yellow>Eli Talbert</font> ("Dancing With The Fishes") and <font color=yellow>Timothy J. Lea</font> ("Zoo York," "YoungBlood.")

The final new CSI episode of the week will be shown on Thursday at 9:00pm, when CBS is planning to air CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's "Killer." Here's the episode's official plot synopsis:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>In a CSI first, a crime will be shown from the killer's perspective. The CSIs investigate two deaths, both linked to the same suspect. As the evidence starts to overlap, the CSI team begins to move in on the murderer.
</font></blockquote>
"Killer" was directed by <font color=yellow>Ken Fink</font>, who only a few weeks ago was responsible for "Werewolves," and at the start of the season also helmed "Room Service." The episode's screenplay was written by CSI veterans <Font color=yellow>Naren Shankar</font> and <font color=yellow>Dustin Lee Abraham</font>, but they based it on a story by <Font color=yellow>Erik Saltzgaber</font>, who is new to the CSI franchise but has previously worked on The Outer Limits.

In addition to the above three regularly scheduled episodes, this Saturday at 9:00pm CBS will be repeating the first-season CSI: New York finale "What You See Is What You See." In this episode, while Mac dines at his local breakfast spot, a gunman opens fire, leaving a waitress critically injured and a man dead, and Mac having to choose whether to chase after the suspect or save the life of the young woman. Meanwhile, before the chaos, Mac was approached by a shy patron who awkwardly engaged him in conversation. After feeling that he saved her life during the shoot out, she asks him to join her for a drink and Mac must decide if he is ready to start dating after his wife's tragic death.
