In the opening moments of the CSI: Miami premiere (airing Monday at 10 pm/ET), Horatio Caine, gunned down in the season finale, is zipped up in a body bag. What the...?! "It looks pretty bad for him, it does," Eva La Rue says in this video. Natalia Boa Vista's portrayer teases more about the "very exciting" season opener, including one team member's involvement in H's shooting, saying she read the script "cover-to-cover before the coffee was down halfway."La Rue also defends Miami's improbably tricked-out lab (at the 1:20 mark), laughs at Natalia's awful introduction to gunplay, and shares how the departure of Khandi Alexander "was sad for all of us" (2:40). Also, I pressed her best I could for scoop on the Calleigh-Delko romance (3:20).On a side note, check out the size of the recently engaged actress' sparkler! Oh my. — Matt Mitovich

Is romance in the air for a pair of CSI: Miami crime-solvers? Who might be packing heat this season? And how can you — yes, you — score a "date" with the lovely Natalia Boa Vista? Just before returning to work this week on the hit CBS procedural, Eva La Rue discussed with TVGuide.com those hot topics and more!
TVGuide.com: Natalia had quite a year, with the ex-husband showing up and then getting murdered, her sister being abducted....Eva La Rue: I know, it was a very crazy year!
TVGuide.com: It seems as if someone gets promoted there, it's not necessarily a good thing!La Rue: No, it's not! If Natalia wanted to have a more fly-under-the-radar, lay-low year after being the mole, I don't think it really happened. [Laughs]

Well, it was no, “We’re going to Brazil.” In fact, it didn’t even feel like a season finale. Where was the cliff-hanger? Where was the oh-my-god moment? It’s a sad indicator of the state of CSI: Miami when the scariest aspects of an episode are the fashions. Was there ever a more disturbing haircut than that sported by Mama Wade? And was Ryan wearing a pseudo-Members Only jacket? It’s depressing, really, because this one had potential. In the end, both Lucas and Lindsay Wade were murderers. She killed their other sister by pushing her down the stairs when they were all children, and everyone blamed little Lucas because he was supposedly genetically predisposed to violence. He took this to heart, and as an adult just started murdering women. Because it was her fault that Lucas did this, Lindsay decided to kill another woman to get her brother off the hook. Oh, and back in his corrupt traffic-cop days, Ryan pulled Lucas over, but had no reason to suspect...

Here comes the new Wolfe, same as the old Wolfe. Talk about giving someone the benefit of the doubt. After the list of grievances Calleigh gave early in the episode (just to add to my list from last week), it turned out that all Ryan needed to do was admit the error of his ways while he was live on the air, and subsequently apologize directly to Horatio. If only everyone were so forgiving.The crime was a vehicle to serve up Ryan’s redemption, and as such, was mostly a yawner. As always, for those who missed it, the carjacker, Jim, wasn’t actually a carjacker. Sherry, the “victim,” was getting paid by his brother to get him out to her car so that said brother could shoot him, on orders from the drug lord. When Jim discovered his brother’s duplicity, the two got into a fistfight on Jim’s boat, during which Jim was knocked overboard. The drug lord decided that he’d rather have Jim dead than discover where the missing kilos of heroin were. Oh, and Hora...

Let’s get the simple stuff out of the way first: Everyone was guilty of something. Claire dumped the gasoline to frame Anthony (her ex-boyfriend), who then sent Ron Cramer after her anyway, and Ron accidentally created the catalyst for the fire to start. Oh, and Ryan got fired for owing money to Michael Lipton. (Sidenote: I have a good family friend named Michael Lipton. Remember that episode of The Simpsons where a TV character has the same name as Homer? That’s how exciting this was for me.) However, before we get into Ryan’s misdeeds, I find it necessary to point out that not only is there no way this could have taken place in under 24 hours (how could the house have cooled enough to let in people without fire suits?), police departments have special arson units who deal with these kinds of cases. The CSIs would not be involved to the degree that they were.For a show that isn’t really into thematic cohesion, I was pleasantly surprised to find one major symboli...
