== Description == ==Plot==
As the team grieve for their fallen colleague ("For Warrick"), Grissom makes a life changing decision ("One to Go"), during the ninth season of ''CSI''. Also this season, Sara investigates the death of a woman attacked nine years ago ("The Happy Place"), new CSI Riley Adams joins the team ("Art Imitates Life"), and she and Nick witness a store robbery on Halloween ("Let it Bleed"), Grissom attends the trial of the Miniature Killer ("Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda"), and an infamous serial murderer brings Dr. Raymond Langston face-to-face with the CSI team ("19 Down"). As Catherine adjusts to life as the team's leader, she investigates the bizarre, the brutal, and the unlikely, including an S&M related murder ("Leave out all the Rest"), an arson-homicide ("The Grave Shift"), the murder of an FBI agent ("Disarmed & Dangerous"), death-by-toothpaste ("Deep Fried & Minty Fresh"), and a Mexican wrestling related death ("Mascara"). Nick, meanwhile, investigates the happenings of a seedy motel over the course of a year ("Turn, Turn, Turn"), and Hodges and Wendy attend a sci-fi convention ("A Space Oddity").
The CSIs face a year of challenge and change as they say goodbye to some of their long-time team members and welcome new ones to the night shift. Grissom, Catherine and the rest of the group deal with the aftermath of Warrick Brown's shooting, and then must adjust to the irreverent personality of new CSI Riley Adams (]). Later in the season, the team will be in for a shock when revered leader Gil Grissom bids goodbye to Vegas and a new CSI, ] (]), joins their ranks.

List of episodes

The ninth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation premiered on CBS on October 9, 2008, and ended May 14, 2009. The series stars William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger and Laurence Fishburne.

Plot

As the team grieve for their fallen colleague ("For Warrick"), Grissom makes a life changing decision ("One to Go"), during the ninth season of CSI.

As Catherine adjusts to life as the team's leader, she investigates the bizarre, the brutal, and the unlikely, including an S&M related murder ("Leave out all the Rest"), an arson-homicide ("The Grave Shift"), the murder of an FBI agent ("Disarmed & Dangerous"), death-by-toothpaste ("Deep Fried & Minty Fresh"), and a Mexican wrestling related death ("Mascara"). Nick, meanwhile, investigates the happenings of a seedy motel over the course of a year ("Turn, Turn, Turn"), and Hodges and Wendy attend a sci-fi convention ("A Space Oddity").

After being cleared of the murder of mobster Lou Gedda, CSI Warrick Brown is shot and killed outside a Las Vegas diner. The entire team grieves for their fallen friend, while unknown to them, the killer is one of their own, who is on the lam with Gedda's murderer - also one of their own.

The investigation gets tougher with the discovery that her two-year-old was with her when she was murdered, later abandoned at a day care at a local casino. Greg calls Sara in to work with Detective Sam Vega on a case related to one of her first cases: when the husband of a woman, who was raped and left comatose in the Season 1 episode "Too Tough to Die", pulls out her breathing tube; as she was personally vested in that case, and still reeling over the events over Warrick and herself, Sara would return to San Francisco, still not ready to return to her career.

Also, being two CSIs short, Ecklie hires a new CSI, Riley Adams (Lauren Lee Smith), and a counselor comes in to help them deal with Warrick's death; Riley would take offense with the counselor when she began quizzing her about her grief, despite having just walked in to begin her first day and not even knowing anyone involved.
