Despite the start of the February sweeps, CBS will not be airing new episodes of all three CSI shows this week, as the network will be broadcasting the Grammy Awards on Wednesday instead of CSI: New York. But today and Thursday fans will be able to enjoy fresh episodes of both CSI: Miami and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Tonight at 10:00pm, CBS will be airing the new Miami episode "Skeletons." Here's how the network described the episode in its official press release:

When a body is uncovered during a beach volleyball tournament, the evidence leads Horatio to Walter Resden, who is now targeting one of his past victims -- someone Horatio has sworn to protect. Now, Horatio must deduce why Resden has returned and find a way to stop him for good. Meanwhile, Delko and Natalia's relationship takes an unexpected turn when she thinks that she may be pregnant.

"Skeletons" was directed by Karen Gaviola, who this season also worked on "Nailed." The episode was written by Corey Miller, who also already worked on last week's "Fade Out," and by Barry O'Brien, who most recently wrote "The Score."

The following actors will be making a guest appearance on "Skeletons:"

Brendan Fehr as Dan Cooper
Candace Kroslak as Nicole
Naja Hill as Kellie
Mike Faiola as Billy
Misty-May Treanor as Player #1
Kerri Walsh as Player #2
Joel West as Officer Jessop
Alexandra Lydon as Jennifer Wilson
Shelli Bergh as Paula Muro
Atom Gorelick as Young Walter Resden
Haley Ramm as Young Jennifer Wilson
Damian Young as Walter Resden
Vince Grant as John Massry
Steve Ryan as Morris Yates
Josh Jacobson as Young John Massry
Boti Bliss as Valera
Kyle Kaplan as Foster Kid #1
Tod Nakamura as Officer #1

Besides recurring actors Brendan Fehr, Joel West, Alexandra Lydon, Shelli Bergh, Haley Ramm, Damian Young, Boti Bliss and Tod Nakamura, only two other actors have a previous connection to the CSI franchise. Those are Steve Ryan, who played Sergeant Adams this season in the original CSI episode "A Bullet Runs Through It, Part One;" and Josh Jacobson, who played an unnamed boy in the original CSI's third-season episode "Play With Fire."

On Thursday at 9:00pm, CBS will be airing "Pirates of the Third Reich," featuring the return of Lady Heather. This is what you can expect from the episode:

When the body of a young woman is found half-buried in the desert outside of Vegas, Grissom teams up with Lady Heather to discover the cause of the victim's unusual death. The mystery deepens when the CSIs discover that the woman was participating in a clinical study where doctors performed experiments for sleep deprivation.

This episode was directed by Richard Lewis, who was also responsible for this year's season premiere, "Bodies In Motion." The screenwriter for this episode is Jerry Stahl, who created the Lady Heather character for "Slaves Of Las Vegas."

Below you can find the guest cast list for "Pirates of the Third Reich:"

David Berman as David Phillips
Louise Lombard as Sophia Curtis
Wallace Langham as Hodges
Liz Vassey as Wendy Simms
Jim Cody Williams as Happy Jack
Michael Patrick McGill as Ruben Caster
Jeff Sugarman as Dr. Mulligan
Melinda Clarke as Lady Heather
Kevin Crowley as Jacob Wolfowitz
Kevin Crowley as Johann Sneller
Annie Burgstede as Zoe Kessler
Suzanne Reed as Receptionist
Joseph Patrick Kelly as Office Metcalf
Tony Amendola as Professor Rambar

David Berman, Louise Lombard, Wallace Langham, Liz Vassey, Jeff Sugarman, Melinda Clarke, Joseph Patrick Kelly will all be playing previously established characters. Tony Amendola was seen on CSI twice before: once in the first-season episode "I-15 Murders" as a handwriting expert, and once in last year's season premiere "Viva Las Vegas" as the landlord.

The original press releases for both these episodes can be found at the Futon Critic.
