During an idle stretch last week, I imagined Danny, now bound to a wheelchair, chasing bad guys down.

Of course, it seems a bit ridiculous, but last week's message of hope against all odds--however cheesy that sounds--seemed to fit with my daydream.  He's just temporarily paralyzed, after all; just a few months of physical therapy (reflected on air) and a little more time should give him his ability to walk back.  For the meantime, though, that'll remain as an elephant of sorts in the NYPD--a reminder of what happened before.

And, to Lindsay, a reminder of how much he loves her.  Yes, I am being cheesy.

CSI: NY returns tonight to its usual form, except for that wheelchair bit.  The team investigates the case of a cyber killer, who seems to be targeting medical workers and that sort.  Clues online, I guess?  I say hello to the sparkling wonders of Adam Ross.

But the case turns personal--really personal--when the killer invokes the name of Mac's father, who died almost twenty years ago.  Which means CSI: NY will do something close to what CSI: Miami did last week, and give us a flashback.  Just look at the photo up there and be treated to a younger Mac, with more hair, and in a military uniform.

Other points in this episode: I have this feeling the killer will take on at least two identities.  And finally I figured it out: the villain is called Grave Digger.  The episode previously referred to a "Hangman" but they apparently changed it.

CSI: NY returns tonight from 10pm on CBS.  The photos--an incomplete set, I'll admit--is right below.
