Re: Season 9 *Spoiler Lab* Discussions
9x01 For Warrick
Stokes finds Brown slumped over the wheel of his car after he hears the shots, Greg cancels his publishers meeting as he hears the news. A devastated Grissom calls Sara when he finds out. As the team grieve, Warrick's killer, Undersherrif McKeen is investigating the murder. With the nightshift two men down Conrad Ecklie hires a new CSI in the form of pretty young thing Bryce Adams (Lauren Lee Smith). Sara Sidle takes the first flight from San Francisco, but as she arrives in Vegas she can not get into the crime lab as she is no longer a Police Officer. Sara and Grissom try to get Sara a job as a lab Tech with little success.
9x02 The Happy Place
It's no day at the beach. According to CSI Files sources, the second episode of
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's ninth season will be called "The Happy Place". Sara is still in town, and she goes to visit an old friend, Thomas Adler. Thomas first appeared in
"Too Tough to Die" during the show's first season. His wife Pam was raped, beaten and shot, but she survived. She's been in a vegetative state for all these years, and Thomas finally pulled the plug. He tells Sara he prayed every week for God to end his wife's suffering. Meanwhile, the entire team must deal with their grief over Warrick's loss. Nick even imagines that he sees his old friend on the street, but it's merely a stranger. Please note that the above plot details have not been confirmed by CBS, Alliance Atlantis or Bruckheimer Films, and until such time you should treat this information as you would any other rumour. The above information comes from early script drafts and the details of the episodes are liable to change before the episodes are shown. "The Happy Place" is expected to air in September on CBS.

So if that's the case
Doesn't sound too good for Warrick ... I think it's a good idea to bring in a new character, someone that's not going to choose 'favorites' while investigating.
