Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 2.1 Main cast 2.2 Recurring cast 3 Episodes 4 References 5 External links Plot Greg begins his journey from a lab rat to a field mouse, as the Las Vegas Crime Lab faces a personnel overhaul ( `` Ch - Ch - Changes '' ), during the fifth season of CSI. The team 's final days together are plagued with more investigations into the insane and the unusual, including the discovery of an `` alien '' corpse just outside the boundary of Area 51 ( `` Viva Las Vegas '' ), a body washed up in a thunderstorm ( `` Down the Drain '' ), the kidnapping of a thirteen - year - old girl ( `` Harvest '' ), a death at a fumigation ( `` Crows Feet '' ), a swingers party ( `` Swap Meet '' ), the return of the Blue Paint Killer ( `` What 's Eating Gilbert Grissom ? '' ), and a kidnapping at a hotel ( `` Formalities '' ). It 's the appearance of new evidence that appears literally as Grisson is on the witness stand, however, that causes Ecklie to separate Grissom and Willows ' team ( `` Mea Culpa '' ), with Catherine, Nick, and Warrick delving into cases such as brain death ( `` No Humans Involved '' ), a body in a car ( `` Who Shot Sherlock ? '' ), a severed head containing a snake ( `` Snakes '' ), the death of a bear ( `` Unbearable '' ), and a murder involving sports betting ( `` Big Middle '' ). The risk of losing of one of their own, however, allows Ecklie and Grisson to set aside their differences, both personal and professional, and reunite the team once again ( `` Grave Danger '' ).
