CSI: VEGAS opens a brand-new chapter in Las Vegas - the city where it all began. Facing an existential threat that could bring down the entire Crime Lab and release thousands of convicted killers back onto the neon-lit streets of Vegas, a brilliant new team of investigators led by Maxine Roby must enlist the help of old friends Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle. This combined force will deploy the latest forensic techniques to do what they do best - follow the evidence - in order to preserve and serve justice in Sin City. In the premiere episode, an attack on Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) kicks off a twisted conspiracy targeting the Las Vegas crime lab.

While continuing on his karmic quest Earl (Jason Lee) is faced with the dilemma as to what bad deed he should tackle next. To quite smoking is one option, but this turns out to be a bigger challenge than Earl originally anticipates. Randy (Ethan Suplee) and Catalina (Nadine Velazquez) see this as an opportunity to trick him into apologizing to Donny (guest star Silas Weir Mitchell), an intimidating former classmate. Five years prior, Earl robbed a donut shop while wearing Donny's football jersey and let him spend two years in prison for the crime he committed. Earl not only receives forgiveness from Donny, but at the same time kicks his smoking habit while pushing Donny's mom (guest star Kathryn Joosten) to give up the addiction too. Meanwhile, Earl's ex-wife Joy (Jaime Pressly) finds Earl's video will, which leaves everything to her, and attempts to kill him. Eddie Steeples also stars.

In the third season premiere, Jane and Maura'’s friendship suffers following the shooting of Maura'’s biological father, gangster Paddy Doyle (guest star JOHN DOMAN - The Wire, Borgia). Jane also finds herself in the middle of an Internal Affairs investigation and her relationship with Agent Dean (recurring guest star BILLY BURKE - Twilight films) is exposed. Recurring guest stars JACQUELINE BISSET (Nip/Tuck, Joan of Arc) and ED BEGLEY JR. (St. Elsewhere, Pineapple Express) also appear.

Sipowicz, Clark, Medavoy and Jones investigate the murder of an unassuming teenager. McDowell and Ortiz search for the person responsible for firing a stray bullet that killed a three-year-old girl.

The squad investigates the murder of a young Chinese girl along with an alleged rape case. Irvin learns his father is dying. Clark tries to find a foster home for James Kilik.
