Sara Sidle in CSI's 10th-year fest

MANILA, Philippines - Crime Scene Investigation (CSI), the top scripted series in the US, scores its 10th season with old favorite Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) heading back to revisit the team in multiple episodes. This set the TV world abuzz with many questions on Sarah’s return. What prompted her return to Sin City? How will Sara’s reappearance affect the current team dynamics? Does this mean Grissom will be next to make an appearance soon? Get your answers by tuning in to the first and exclusive premiere on AXN tonight at 10.

The understaffed CSI team has more to contend with internally after Riley Adams’ (Lauren Lee Smith) departure, with team leader Catherine Willows (Marg Halgenberger) reeling from Rileys harsh words in her exit interview. Faced with criticism on her incompetent leadership bringing down the team’s morale, Sara’s timely return to the CSI team helps Catherine get back on her feet again, with the assurance that “the only thing that Grissom had that you (Catherine) don’t is you.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Raymond Langston (Laurence Fishburne) and fellow CSI team member Nick Stokes (George Eads) rise in the ranks.

Season 10 opens with a stop-motion sequence where the ransacked CSI crime lab appears to be in pandemonium: Corpses half-falling out in the morgue, bullets in mid-air and the CSI team frozen in the midst of the crossfire. A dead body was stolen and found the next morning ground into mince. What might be the motive fueling such a drastic cover-up? The plot thickens with the appearance of a sinister new serial killer Dr. Jekyll when a body turns up with his intestines in a knot, yet with no apparent incision on his body. For Dr. Jekyll, the crime scene always lies with the body.
