Now here’s a love letter to CSI devotees: EW has learned exclusively that
William Petersen will reprise his role as Gil Grissom with a cameo in an
upcoming episode. The actor – who left the show in January 2009 – already
shot his appearance on the CBS drama and we’re told his return involves
Jorja Fox, who plays Gil’s on-screen wife Sara. It’s unclear exactly when he
’ll appear back in or around the lab, but TV Line teased that it may occur
this week.

As EW first reported in December, the writers paved the way for a possible
Petersen return by penning an episode that introduces Gil’s long lost
mother, played Phyllis Frelich. In the Feb. 3 show, a murder occurs at a
school for the deaf where Grissom’s mom is a professor. Sara goes to
investigate but ends up facing an unexpected challenge — a surprising lack
of affection from her mother-in-law. Apparently, Grissom’s mom never felt
that Sara was the one for her beloved Gil so the two women have a few fences
to mend. The episode also stars Oscar winner Marlee Matlin as a school
colleague who not only serves as Mrs. Grissom’s protege but used to date
Gil. Guess who momma Grissom prefers?

Fans are supposed to think that Gil is constantly on the move so he and Sara
maintain a long-distance relationship. This week’s story is a continuation
of an arc that started way back in season one’s memorable “Sound of Silence
” episode, in which we first learn that Gil can sign because he grew up with
a deaf mother.

When Petersen left, both he and his fellow producers promised that the
longtime TV and stage actor would return occasionally. Back in 2009 when he
was preparing for his departure, Petersen told EW exclusively that while he
won’t miss playing Gil, he hopes fans won’t get too shaken up over his
character’s absence. ”I think there’s a way for the audience to remember
him, like losing a great co-worker they’ve known for years,” Petersen said.
”He didn’t die in a plane crash, he didn’t get a brain tumor. He’s out
there.”
