It doesn't have to be a cliffhanger,season 5 ended with a noncliff hanger episode.Some of the cliffhangers themselves haven't been suffiently cliffhanging, the season 6 cliffy for instance.More than likely,the cliffy involves H since the spoiler mentions Frank pulling back just when Horatio needs him the most.
I agree, I don't think they'll pull another cliffy ending, especially after the season 8 ender (R.I.P Jesse ) It sounds like this escaped prisoner will either make the episode or else be a villan next season.
(Still can't believe we're already at the finale! (Season 9 hasn't even aired in Ireland yet - and won't till June! :scream)
(Is it just me or has season 9 flown in?)
