CSI
There’s a big episode early in the season that will dig deeper into Catherine’s (Marg Helgenberger) family drama — specifically Sam’s legacy to her. We’ll also see her venture outside the lab in an episode that features the return of her real-life husband, Alan Rosenberg. “One of the things he’s going to offer Catherine is sort of an opportunity to be on a dream-team-type defense on a high-profile case,” explains executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. “And she gets a little touch of the high life doing that. You get paid well, you get to stay in nice hotels, you get to have nice meals…. It’s going to be a little tantalizing for her.” [Michael Ausiello]
ome of CSI’s other semi-regulars will be getting a little more airtime this season, says Carol Mendelsohn. “We’re going to see more of the lab rats this year,” she says. “We love our lab rats. We’re going to play up our friendship and their rivalry.” She adds, “This is a year in which Nick is going to step forward. The question has always been, ‘Grissom is the supervisor, but who’s the supervisor in waiting?’” [Michael Ausiello]

Hayden’s onscreen father Jack Coleman tells us: “It’s fair to say that Claire does have a romance this year, and it’s going to bring us into conflict.” [Kristin@E!Online]
James Kyson Lee talking about the new season, “Lots of things to look forward to in season two, including a new look for Ando . . . We’ll probably move on from the Members Only jacket. And there [will] be parallel times, the modern time and the ancient Japan, so I’m…in the present day, going back and forth between New York and Japan, and there’s going to be some kind of connection between me and Hiro…But you have to wait until September 24 to find out.” [Kristin@E!Online]

Pushing Daisies
Producers were hoping to borrow Masi Oka for a guest stint, but NBC put the kibosh on it at the 11th hour.

[Michael Ausiello]

Supernatural
Fairy tales come to life when the brothers investigate Callie, a young girl who seems to personify Snow White. Poisoned by her stepmother and trapped in a coma, the spirit becomes angrier as more time passes. Callie’s father visits her constantly, reading her original Brothers Grimm stories and unknowingly inspiring her carnage. Sam confronts him and forces him to listen to his daughter. While Dean sleeps, Sam slips out and confronts the Crossroads Demon with the Colt, procured by Ruby and rebuilt by Bobby. She refuses to let Dean out of the deal and says there’s another boss who controls what she does. Sam shoots her in the head, killing the possessed human. [SpoilerFix.com]
