CSI: Miami and CSI: New York are both repeats this week. But CSI returns from a brief hiatus with a brand new episode, "Spark of Life".

CBS describes the episode as follows:

Grissom discovers a connection between the fiery suicide of a woman in the Vegas wilderness and the slaughter of an entire family in a suburban home. The evidence exposes a couple's infidelity, as well as the unthinkable results of one woman's desperate attempt to get pregnant.

"Spark of Life" debuts writer Allen MacDonald and was directed by veteran Ken Fink. Below is a list of the guest actors appearing in this episode:

  • David Berman as David Phillips
  • Louise Lombard as Sofia Curtis
  • Wallace Langham as David Hodges
  • Aisha Tyler as Mia Dickerson
  • Alex Carter as Detective Vartan
  • Lennie Loftin as Chief Dysart
  • Lina Patel as Tara Matthews
  • Anna Lumarque as E.R. Nurse
  • Michael Bryan French as Dr. Frank
  • Aimee Miles as Corinne Stewart
  • Jeffrey Johnson as Morgan Stewart
  • Justin Kirk as Patrick Bromley
  • Daylia Sky Wallace as Dani Stewart
  • Tim DeKay as Neal Matthews
  • Heather McComb as Annabelle Frost
  • Terry Bozeman as Brad Lewis
  • Alex Wexo as Tim (Stargazer)

Berman, Lombard, Langham, Tyler, Carter, and Bozeman return to portray their recurring characters. Fans may remember Lennie Loftin from the episode "Down the Drain", where he played Rick. Michael Bryan French also played a hospital doctor in the episode "No Humans Involved". Heather McComb debuts on CSI, but is not a freshman to the franchise. She played Ginny Taylor in the Miami episode "A Horrible Mind.

CBS also released the 20-second promo video for the episode, which can be now downloaded from CBS.com. For those of you on dial-up, here's a transcript of the trailer:

Why can't the CSIs get dates?
All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
Three words: Hank the Skank.
