Well, it's possible. I don't think they ever said one way or another. I thought Ecklie told Gil they'd have to find a new director cause he was just made undersheriff. Maybe they could make Ray the lab director if he's got enough of the qualifications for it. Only he'd be in every episode unlike Ecklie was.
I think an assistant one has to be a CSI. The supervisor can be a cop rather than a CSI, but has to be a cop who is high enough in rank (ie Brass). I don't think a CSI Level One can be assistant supervisor. I don't think even Riley could be assitant supervisor while she's still Level 2.
They could always write more scenes for him to have more screentime. He could be a CSI and a coroner kind of like Sheldon on NY.
He wasn't writing a recommendation for his former student (a dead person has no need for a recommendation and it was the dead girl he was writing whatever it was for), he was sending her book to a publisher I think and just saying the publisher should read it cause he thinks it should be published. Remember, Ray did write a book, so it was probably his own publisher he was emailing that stuff to. I believe that he was just using the office cause it was the quietest place in the lab (and I'm sure he asked Nick if he could because Ray isn't the type of person who just barges into someone else's office and uses their things without asking) and he needed concentration for that. I don't think that scene really meant anything to be honest. It was just showing how much he cared for and believed in the girl and her work. He was either typing the girl's notes/book or he was telling his publisher he had something that the publisher should read and for him to contact him (maybe he couldn't get him on the phone).
Maybe the situation would not be Nick though. Maybe it would be that Riley is due to be promoted to Level 3 (we have no clue how long she was Level 2 where she previously worked), but they can only afford one promotion and instead decide to promote Langston to Level 2 rather than Riley to Level 3... and this upsets some people. Nick has already been given the position of second in command to Cath. The only thing that can get him knocked out of that position if he gets in trouble like Warrick did (remember at the end of For Gedda, Warrick was going to be knocked from Level 3 to Level 2) cause of his actions.
I honestly hope tptb aren't stupid enough to knock Cath or Nick out of their current postions just so Langston can be in charge. That would be the dumbest move ever as the ratings are already starting to slide.
I'm still stuck on the fact that spoilers said something from Ray's past and something that would rock him to the core. Him being promoted just wouldn't do it.
I could see Ray getting a raise (not promotion) before one of the others who have been there long enough to earn it though and that causing an upset. But, I still don't see that being something shocking and never expected and something that will rock Langston to the core.
tptb gave conflicting statements in the beginning though. At first they were going to have him eventually be boss cause they did say he wouldn't be at first. But then later, they said no he won't be boss, Cath will. Besides, he doesn't have to be boss to get more screentime than the others, this has been proven with several episodes. :lol:

Worrying about something that may not happen isn't going to do me any good. :lol: I think we really need more info before we start to worry. They are about the money and they won't make any if everyone quits watching the show. If they lose enough viewers, sponsors will start pulling their support and the show will die a death more horrible than any of the episodic victims each week.
