3 min read

New episodes offer a haunted CSI and a dead high school student. Official plot details and cast lists after the jump.

Starting out the week on Monday at 10:00pm ET/PT, one member of the CSI: Miami team is haunted by a victim in “Backfire”:

A victim’s spirit won’t leave Calleigh alone until she finds justice for his murder.

This is the first time producer Don Tardino has directed an episode of Miami. Tamara Jaron has penned six previous episodes of the show, including “Delko for the Defense” earlier this season. Melissa Scrivner has two writing credits, most recently for “Die By the Sword”.

The episode will feature the following guest stars:

  • Christian Clemenson as Tom Loman
  • Robert Bailey Jr. as Patrick Dawson
  • John Beasley as Henry Dawson
  • Mike Doyle as Karl Tannen
  • Robin Bartlett as Stephanie Hollister
  • Meghan Markle as Officer Jane Marshall
  • Chris Dollard as Ralph Zimmerman
  • Scott Alan Smith as Doctor
  • Jennifer Weston as Nurse
  • Eugene Shaw as EMT


Christian Clemenson is reprising his established recurring role as Dr Tom Loman. John Beasley was in two CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episodes during the show’s first season: “Crate ‘n Burial” and “Evaluation Day”. Meghan Markle appeared in “Murder Sings the Blues” during the third season of CSI: New York. Scott Alan Smith has guest-starred on both CSI (“All for Our Country”) and New York (“Super Men”). The other actors are new to the franchise.

On Wednesday at 10:00pm ET/PT, CSI: New York will re-air “Battle Scars” from earlier this season. The CSIs investigated the death of an up-and-coming dancer, and the victim’s girlfriend tried to remember what happened when he was killed and she was attacked.

Rounding out the week on Thursday at 9:00pm ET/PT, the past resurfaces in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode “World’s End”:

When a student is discovered murdered at Lindsey’s school, the investigation takes a sharp turn when the CSIs uncover an unlikely connection between the boy’s death and atrocities of the past.

This is the fourteenth directing credit for Alec Smight, who most recently helmed “Neverland” last month. Evan Dunsky has penned nine previous episodes, including this season’s “Appendicitement”.

The following actors and actresses will appear in guest-starring roles:

  • Jorja Fox as Sara Sidle
  • Kay Panabaker as Lindsey Willows
  • Larry Mitchell as Officer Mitchell
  • Michael Kenneth Williams as Laurent/Paul
  • Will Rothhaar as Sean Becker
  • Andy Fischer-Price as Ian Jones

  • Will Harris as Daryl Weeks
  • Todd Robert Anderson as Mr. Wilder
  • Aimee Teegarden as Molly Sinclair
  • Brandon Michael Vayda as Soaked Student
  • Ruth Miller as Granny Becker
  • Sundra Oakley as Laurent’s Wife
  • Kassandra Carrington as Laurent’s Daughter
  • Jeremy Kilpatrick as Emcee
  • Drew James as Singer #1
  • Adam Raque as Singer #2
  • Ellen Marlow as Singer #3
  • Laura Slade Wiggins as Singer #4


Jorja Fox reprises her role as Sara Sidle, Kay Panabaker is back as Catherine’s daughter Lindsey (who was last seen in “Let it Bleed”), and Larry Mitchell returns as Officer Mitchell. During season four, Will Rothhaar guest starred in “Turn of the Screws” and Todd Robert Anderson was in “Fur and Loathing”. Michael Kenneth Williams was in the season five episode “Hollywood Brass”, and he also guest-starred in “The Box” last season on New York. Aimee Teegarden appeared on Miami in last season’s “Divorce Party”, Brandon Michael Vayda guest-starred in “Throwing Heat” during season five and Sundra Oakley guest-starred in the season two episode “Complications”.

“Backfire”, the repeat of “Battle Scars” and “World’s End” begin airing April 19 on CBS.
