The CBS network this week released the official synopsis for CSI: Miami's season finale, entitled "Innocent".

Previously called "We Never Close", the season ender is scheduled to air at 10:00 p.m. on Monday, May 24, according to the Futon Critic. The episode revolves around the murder of Ashley Anders, a popular porn star, who is found strangled in a park. "Innocent" will also feature the return of Horatio's nemesis, Rick Stetler, who has been wooing his sister-in-law, Yelina Salas.

Here's how the network describes the episode:

Blood and human tissue are found under Ashley Anders' nails and the DNA matches that of the CEO of the company that distributes her films -- and he's a registered sex offender. Also, Calleigh discovers his answering machine audiotape on which he makes a threat against Ashley. However, there is an accident back at the lab with this crucial piece of evidence and Delko was the last person to handle it. Now, IAB's Rick Stetler is put on the case, much to Horatio's dismay, as the CSIs try to uncover further evidence in order to find the girl's killer.

"Innocent" was directed by CSI: Miami veteran Joe Chappelle, whose credits include last week's "Not Landing" as well as "Dead Zone" and "Hurricane Anthony". Technical advisor John Haynes ("Wannabe") wrote the story, with Steven Maeda and Sunil Nayar penning the teleplay. Maeda, one of Miami's producers, has contributed to "Stalkerazzi" and "Death Grip" while co-producer Nayar co-wrote "Complications".
