"Leaving Las Vegas" -- Catherine is determined to connect an out-of-town killing to a recently released Las Vegas murder suspect in an attempt to bring him to justice, on CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, Thursday, Jan. 4 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Richard J. Lewis directed the episode from a teleplay by Allen MacDonald and a story by Allen MacDonald and Carol Mendelsohn, one of the series' executive producers.

Alan Rosenberg ("The Guardian"), real-life husband of series star Marg Helgenberger, reprises his role as tough talking lawyer Adam Novak.

Catherine's testimony in court is not enough to convict a killer suspected of murdering his own mother. Novak (Rosenberg), with whom Catherine had a brief romantic encounter, is the lawyer who represents the killer and secures his freedom. As a result, Catherine and Nick leave Las Vegas in order to tie the killer to another crime and put him behind bars for good. Meanwhile, Grissom says goodbye to his colleagues and heads east for a teaching sabbatical.
