When we last saw CSI, the forensic drama Warrick was shot and left for dead by Undersheriff McKeen. The shocking finale left fans shocked and distressed over the long wait they have to endure before the next season airs. While we already know that Warrick’s portrayer, Gary Dourdan, will be leaving the CBS series, we are still not quite sure how this audio-video analyst will exit the canvas.
If you can’t wait for a few more months to find out, read on for spoilers.
Judging from season 8’s last scene, many viewers are likely to think that Warrick will actually die. However, CSI boss Carol Mendelsohn has hinted in the latest issue of TV Guide that Warrick will be back in the fall and “not just in flashbacks.”
According to Spoiler TV, the first episode of the ninth season of CSI is called “For Warrick” and finds the team mourning for their fallen friend. Unknown to the team the killer, the Undersheriff, investigates Warrick’s murder. Meanwhile, Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann) hires a new CSI in the form of Bryce Adams (Lauren Lee Smith).
“We thought that if we ever lost Warrick, this was the way he would go. Warrick’s a local guy. The only family he had was Grissom and the team, so this was not a guy who was going to leave Las Vegas or CSI. We knew where we were going with Warrick long before Gary went to the Coachella music festival, and that it would be truly classic battle-to the death. I think you will see that Undersheriff McKeen will be one of the most worthy adversaries that the team has ever gone up against because he is so smart, because he is so trained, and he can think of all the angles,” Mendelsohn told TV Guide.
Sara (Jorja Fox), as reported previously, will return in this episode when she hears the news about Warrick.
“The premiere is the last time you will probably see our entire cast together. Our original cast. And that means Sara Sidle as well,” she added.
“For Warrick” is expected to air on September 25 on CBS.
