Dominatrix Lady Heather (played by Melinda Clarke) is known to have a special relationship with Grissom (William Petersen). Her three previous appearances on CSI have been fraught with sexual tension. On May10th, she returns to the show.

The context of Lady Heather’s return is unknown. “I can only imagine what they’ll do with Lady Heather,” says Clarke. “The last time we saw her, she was whipping somebody.” Of Grissom, she teases, “He’s a fascinating character to go after. And who doesn’t love a good triangle?”

“She comes at a time when the Grissom-Sara relationship is heating up,” explains Carol Mendelsohn, the show’s executive producer. “Lady Heather’s appearance actually changes that relationship in a way that is unexpected. She won’t have the effect you assume she’ll have.”

One thing is certain, Grissom will be quite busy in this episode. His hunt for the miniature killer continues. What happens from there has yet to be written. One possibility jokingly raised by Clarke is that they can follow up on a suggestion Petersen made at the time of Lady Heather’s last appearance – that the show should end with Grissom and Lady Heather retiring to an island. “But based on the history of the show,” she say, “it makes more sense for Grissom and Sara to be together.”
