Grissom may not be around anymore, but new kid on the block Dr Langston (Laurence Fishburne) is a welcome addition to the team as they adjust to life without Gil. But Langston’s first day doesn’t run smoothly. His first case, a simple burglary call, is interrupted by an explosion at a couple’s home nearby. At first it looks like the husband, a local gym owner, died in the blast, but tests later reveal he was murdered before the fire started. Unfortunately, Langston clashes with Hodges when he messes up the forensics at the murder scene. Not a great first impression…
