Delko departs joining the State's Attorney as an investigator, forcing him to return to the lab undercover, Calleigh finds herself facing death once again, as the spirit of a victim helps her solve his own homicide, Horatio's ex-girlfriend is killed in an explosion, whilst the crime lab comes under siege from hostage takers.
