‘Meltdown’, ‘Tales From The Undercard’ & ‘Lost & Found’ Official Details

As May sweeps gets into full swing, the franchise offers three brand new episodes featuring stolen evidence, underground fighting and a case from the past. Official plot details and cast lists after the jump.

Starting out the week on Monday at 10:00pm ET/PT, the CSI: Miami lab comes under scrutiny in “Meltdown”:

A seemingly perfect jewelry heist ends in murder and when crime scene evidence is stolen from the lab, Delko returns to find the culprit.

Matt Earl Beesley has directed 11 previous episodes of Miami, including “Die By the Sword” earlier this year. Brian Davidson has 16 writing credits for the show, including this season’s “Miami, We Have a Problem”. He co-wrote the episode with K David Bena, who has no previous credits for Miami.

On Wednesday at 10:00pm ET/PT, “Tales From the Undercard” finds the team looking into an underground fighting ring:

When a slab of concrete starts bleeding in midtown, the CSIs’ investigation takes them into the underground world of hardcore fighting, where men moonlight as ‘weekend warriors’ for the pleasure of a live viewing audience.

This is the first time Skip Sudduth has directed an episode of the show. Construction coordinator Steven Fidler co-wrote the story for “Tales From the Undercard” with Aaron Rahsaan Thomas. This is Fidler’s first writing credit for the series. Thomas, who wrote the teleplay for the episode, has two previous episodes under his belt. His most recent credit is for this season’s “The Formula”.

Rounding out the week on Thursday at 9:00pm ET/PT, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation revisits an old case in “Lost & Found”:

A mother thought to be grieving for the loss of her family three years ago becomes a suspect in a CSI investigation.

This is the first time Frank Waldeck has directed an episode of CSI, but he served as first assistant director on the season four episode “Early Rollout”. Elizabeth Devine wrote the story for “Lost & Found”, and Corinne Marrinan wrote the teleplay. Devine has 10 previous writing credits for the show, including “Dead Ringer” during season four.
