Jorja Fox's character Sara Sidle returns with a vengeance in the premier episode of season 10, "Family Affair". Leaving off the real time rating issue that lead to bringing Fox back into the cast, and just looking at it purely from a character point of view, Sidle does indeed fit right back into the cast comfortably, despite that Grissom (now her husband lecturing in France) is absent. She gets along famously with Dr. Ray; though it is a bit hard to understand how a newly married couple could handle a situation like this, no matter how unconventional or just plain weird they...and Grissom and Sidle are certainly the odd couple. The best shot of Sara in action all season for me, comes at the end of "Family Affair," when she and Nick turn all wild west on some guys stealing a homeless man from the morgue, and shoot up the van they are fleeing in. Having said all that, I am one of a minority of CSI fans that genuinely missed the quirky character of Riley, and find it very hard to imagine that she would write such a scathing analysis of the lab management...that's just sloppy TV writing.
