The franchise has three new episodes and hits two milestones this week.

CSI: Miami airs it's 150th episode on Monday at 10:00pm ET/PT. It's a race against the clock to save a child in "Gone Baby Gone":

When a murderer kidnaps an innocent baby, Horatio and the team must find him before the child becomes his next victim.

This is the third time Carey Meyer has directed Miami. The most recent episode prior to this was "Guerrillas in the Mist". Dominic Abeyta wrote the season five episode "No Man's Land".

"Gone Baby Gone" features the following guest-stars:
