CBS recently released the official production information for this week's CSI episodes.

At 10:00 p.m. on Monday, December 13, the CSI: Miami team investigate a carjacking in "Addiction". The episode was directed by NYPD Blue veteran Steven DePaul from a script by Charles Holland (JAG, Playmakers), according to the Futon Critic. Here's how the CBS network describes the episode:

When Kay Coleman is killed in what looks like a carjacking, the CSIs talk to her husband, Sal Coleman, the oldest of the three Coleman brothers who run their lucrative family business. However, when it is revealed that Kay had a gambling addiction that could have bankrupted the company, the team must follow the evidence to find the killer. Meanwhile, Alexx hires a recovering alcoholic as a body hauler and must investigate when he is accused of stealing from the dead.

Guest stars of note in the episode include Matthew Marsden, best known for playing Paris in the Helen of Troy mini-series, Dan Cortese (Veronica's Closet), and former Australian soap actress Holly Valance (Neighbours). The full cast list can be found below:

A sleepwalking suspect keeps the Big Apple CSIs awake at 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 15 in the episode "Night, Mother". The official press release describes the episode as follows:

When a parasomniac sleep walks out of her apartment complex and is later found covered in blood next to a woman's body, the CSIs must investigate if they have a closed case or if there's more to it than meets the eye. Even though their suspect is covered in the victim's blood and has a wooden stake thought to be the murder weapon at her side, Mac thinks there is more to the case than what they see. Meanwhile, Danny and Aiden investigate the murder of a "professional" pickpocket who was beaten to death.

CSI: New York co-producer Janet Tamaro, formerly of Line of Fire, penned the episode, which was directed by regular CSI helmer Deran Sarafian ("Blink"). The guest cast includes Grant Albrecht, reprising his recurring role of Dr. Leonard Giles, and Emmy-nominee Corin Nemec (Stargate SG-1):
