CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Season 8 Episodes
Season 8 Episode Guide
17 Episodes 2007 - 2008
Season 8 begins where Season 7's cliffhanger ended, with Sara (Jorja Fox) pinned underneath a car in the desert and left to die after being abducted by Miniature Killer Natalie Davis (Jessica Collins).\ While Sara escapes and is rescued, the horrific ordeal proves too much for her and she contemplates leaving CSI. Details about her intimate relationship with Grissom (William Petersen) begin to emerge, which makes her decision all the more difficult. Gil's attention is temporarily redirected when he joins forces with the FBI's Jack Malone (Anthony LaPaglia in a crossover episode with "Without a Trace") to track a serial killer responsible for the kidnapping of a boy six years ago in New York who matches the profile of a murder victim in Las Vegas. Another CSI facing difficult times is Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan). When a murder is connected to a nightclub with mob ties, Warrick is convinced that the club owner is responsible and sets out to prove it by any means necessary. Unfortunately, Warrick's addiction to pills and his increasingly reckless lifestyle lead to tragedy and his alleged involvement in two additional murders. Other intriguing stories include: A horror-film icon is found with an ax in her back on the set of her latest picture; three murders occur during an annual bull-riding rodeo (Jewel, Shooter Jennings and professional bull rider Ty Murray appear as themselves); a jailed convict (Method Man) is freed to help investigate homicides in apartments he rents; a series of murder victims are discovered to all have green blood; and an acid-tongued actress (Katey Sagal) is murdered while filming her sitcom in Vegas (the episode was written by "Two and a Half Men" scribes Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn). In addition, Season 8 comes to a shocking conclusion as one CSI team member becomes a killer's target.
