• The season 6 season premiere of CSI: NY began with a review of the final scene in season 5. The CSIs were having a toast to Jessica Angell, who had been killed. Just then, a car drove by and sent a shower of machine gun bullets through the group as they all hit the floor.
• A month later, we see Mac in the office, going over evidence, Flack with a pretty new girl and Stella getting dressed while an undressed Adam watches from the bed. [Wow! I didn’t see that coming!]
• Mac gets a phone call and joins Danny (in a wheelchair) at a dark room with very large crystal chandeliers. Soon, a woman joins them. She tells them that her brother is just a scared kid caught up with two others in something. They try to get her to tell them what she knows.
• Just then, the elevator doors open and a man in the shadows fires a machine gun at them. They all hit the floor. Danny pulls himself to help the injured woman as Mac goes after the gunman. She dies before she can tell them anything. The gunman gets away.
• When Stella & Hawkes show up at the scene, Danny fills them in. the only thing they learned from the woman was a name…Jake.
• Flack shows up, just back from a leave of absence and says he’s going to help. He and Mac go over security camera footage…no camera in the elevator.
• At the crime scene, Danny flashes back to the night of the bar shooting. Lindsay reminds him that there’s no permanent damage to his spine. He may regain the use of his legs eventually. He’s not so optimistic.
• At the office, Stella scolds Mac for taking Danny and going without backup to talk to the woman. He quotes Shakespeare: “Tempt not a desperate man.”
• Another phone call and Mac tells Stella that it’s happened again.
• The team arrives at the scene where a car drove past a large group of people waiting to get into a club. A car had driven by and fired a machine gun at the crowd. Everyone looks up at a large lighted billboard that reads, “Do we have your attention? Pay us and we’ll stop.”
• A reporter at the scene had tipped them to another similar shooting at a closed restaurant two weeks before. The team goes over everything so far and determines that the shootings are not targeting cops, not with the intent to kill because there had only been one fatality and one of the locations was closed. They want to scare people.
• Just then, a clean-up crime scene technician tells the CSIs that she found an unreported bloody fingerprint on the ceiling of the elevator at the crime office building. Adam gets defensive because he says that he checked everything.
• They realize that Mac must have injured the gunman and that now they may have DNA to identify him.
• Haylen, the cleanup tech tells Adam that she wants to work in the lab and he tells her that the job she’s after is his, so he won’t help her.
• Sid pulled a piece of tempered glass from the woman’s shoulder that Hawkes examined and found that it put her in the bar, the night of the shooting when they were all there.
• Flack shows Stella the body of the missing security guard from the night in the office building. They look at the blood trail to see that the killer tracked the guard there and killed him. The killer was also wounded and took the guard’s sleeve to bandage the wound.
• At the lab, they determine that the woman had worked in the building, so they got copies of the voicemail greetings to compare to the tip line for identification.
• The blood from the elevator matched the blood on the front of the dead guard’s shirt and Hawkes’ investigation told them that the guard had stabbed the killer with the same knife that killed him. They had an identification of the killer.
• The voice recognition software helped them identify the woman as Risa Calaveras. That means that her brother must be Jake Calaveras.
• Stella tells Mac that the shooter was dumped at the hospital and died soon after. They decide to study the hospital security camera footage. They got a license plate number and a suspect’s identity.
• They show up at the suspect’s apartment in time to see Jake Calaveras pointing a gun at him for killing his sister. They tell him that he shouldn’t shoot him and they will take care of him. Jake tells them it’s too late and shoots the other man. They take him into custody.
• In the interrogation room, Jake explained to Mac that the other two had wanted to get the city to “work for them.” He said that Risa had talked him out of going with them the night of the bar shooting. He didn’t know she had been there to try to stop him.
• Adam caught up to Stella in the office to talk about the night they were together. She blurted out that it had been wonderful and stupid and memorable and something they should never do again. He acted relived and agreed with her.
• The episode ended with Stella helping Mac pack up the case files, Lindsay holding her baby and Danny in the wheelchair trying to move his legs. Suddenly, one of his feet barely moved. He looked up and smiled.

Discussion Points:

1. What do you think of the hookup between Stella & Adam? Did you see it coming?
2. I really liked how supportive and optimistic Lindsay was about Danny’s injury. What are your thoughts about them?
3. What was your opinion of this episode? Was it a satisfying result after the shooting and the cliffhanger?
4. Do you like the new character, Haylen?

Episode 6.01: Epilogue
Air Date: September 23, 2009

I’m thrilled to bring you the very first episodic photos for CSI: NY’s 6th season. We see the newest cast member for the show and see most of the old regulars. The caption tells us that there will be one person’s life that will change forever. I’ve heard the rumors about that too but will only confirm once I know the true situation.

But the good news is that it’s clear that Mac, Stella, Hawkes, Adam and Lindsay have all survived the shooting. But what about Sid, Danny & Flack….? Here’s the description and name for the new character:

Sarah Carter (”Shark”) Joins the Cast as Haylen Becall, a Forensic School Graduate Who Works As a Crime Scene Clean Up Technician and Has Aspirations of Being a CSI

Following a spray of machine gunfire, Det. Stella Bonasera, (Melina Kanakaredes), and Det. Mac Taylor rise from the chaos. But when one member’s life is significantly changed, it proves to be the emotional motivation they need to piece together their lives and ultimately find the shooter, on the sixth season premiere of CSI: NY, Wednesday, September 23 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)

We’re heading toward the season finale of all three of the CSI series, but luckily, CBS just released this little preview clip for the finale of CSI: NY. In it, we see a glimpse of the case they’ll be working on and then the clip goes on to let us see that Lindsay will be preparing to have the baby.

First, in the lab, her water breaks, then at the hospital, she is worried that she won’t be a good mother. I love whole scenario she paints of how awful she could be as a parent…sounds like pretty normal pre-birth fear to me.

Finally! We get some scoop about Anna Belknap’s brand new baby. Michael Ausiello at EW tells us that, and a bit of spoiler about the upcoming death on CSI: NY in the season finale. I’m still a bit confused about the finale scoop, but very happy for Anna.

Spoiler:
Question: Any scoop on who is going to die on CSI: NY? Is it someone shown in the opening credits? — Carissa
Ausiello: Yes. And as exec producer Pam Veasey reveals, in addition to the death “something happens to someone else. There will be a life-changing experience for another character.” Veasey declined to say whether that something was good or bad, although she did offer what could be a clue: “We really want to have a hopeful and heroic start to next season. It’ll be really positive, fun, and spirited.”

Question: I’m happy Lindsay’s returning to CSI: NY next month, but do we know for a fact Anna Belknap ever gave birth? I searched high and low on the Interwebs but I can’t find any info about it. –Claire
Ausiello: That’s probably because there’s no info to be found — until now! Sources confirm to me exclusively that Anna gave birth to her second child, son George, on Feb. 6. (You’re welcome, Google.) [Source: EW]

We know that on CSI: NY, Lindsay left New York to go spend time with her family in Montana before her baby is born. In real life, Anna Belknap left show production to give birth to her own baby.

Michael Ausiello over at EW Online gives us the scoop about when we’ll see Lindsay back on the show. Poor thing! She has to go through yet another labor & delivery…only this time it’s just for the character.

Spoiler:
Question: Please take pity on us CSI: NY fans and tell us when on earth Lindsay is coming home from Montana. We miss her! — Laurzz

Ausiello: She’s back in the Big Apple on April 29, but we won’t actually see her until May 6 when Anna Belknap officially returns from maternity leave and promptly delivers another baby. “Lindsay pops right back into work and, before you know it, she’s in labor,” exec producer Pam Veasey says with a laugh. “You see her for a second and her water breaks. We couldn’t do anything else but bring her back and let her give birth.” Danny, of course, is at Lindsay’s side for the main event and, like any new parents, “they’re overwhelmed by it,” says Veasey. The big question: What do they have? “It’s a girl,” she reveals. “I won’t tell you the name because we don’t know if the audience will respond to it.” [Source: Ask Ausiello]

If you are a fan of Danny/Lindsay on CSI: NY, here’s the spoiler you’ve been waiting to see:

Spoiler:
Question: There’s an official law in the NYPD that married couples are forbidden from working together. Someone in the couple has to transfer to another department/precinct. So, if Danny and Lindsay are getting married on CSI: NY, how are they going to work together at all if they’re breaking an official law? Does this mean one of them is going to leave the lab for good? — K.C.
Ausiello: You may want to double-check your facts, KC. While it’s true that such a rule existed at one time, it has since been dropped, according to CSI: NY executive producer Pam Veasey. “Our former NYPD Detective John Dove, based on his own experiences and confirming with The Chief’s office, says there is no department law that two detectives can’t work in the same department and be married. This was our belief when we started this story.” Is it just me or did Ms. Veasey just confirm that Danny and Lindsay will eventually tie the knot?
