As the number of episodes created before the writers' strike dwindles, all three CSI shows present new offerings this week.
Starting out the week on Monday at 10:00pm EST, CSI: Miami deals with a dangerous weapon in "Guerillas in the Mist":
- When a rare and illegal machine gun "vaporizes" three weapons' smugglers, the CSIs must find the killer before the gun causes more deaths.
This is Carey Meyer's second turn in the director's chair for Miami, and his first episode was last season's "Bloodline". Barry O'Brien has written twelve previous episodes of Miami including "Permanent Vacation" from earlier this season. "Guerillas in the Mist" marks Brian Davidson's tenth episode as a writer for Miami. His previous credits include "Chain Reaction" from the current season.

- When CSIs investigate a murder victim, the clues lead them to an infamous seller of killer pranks, "Laughing Larry." Meanwhile, Danny works on a case involving a boy from his neighborhood.
Jeffrey Hunt has directed two previous episodes of New York, including this season's "Buzzkill". Executive producer Pam Veasey has writing credit for 18 other episodes of New York, the latest being the season four premiere, "Can You Hear Me Now?"
