Does anyone know. Maybe I missed something, but haven't heard him mentioned since he was hospitalized. Is Eric Delko, eventually, coming back? Does anyone know.

Wish I had an iPhone and that app that let's you put the phone up to the speaker and it'll tell you which song is playing. KRoseLynn - It would be neat to see what happened to some of the other kids Horatio helped. Like you, I'm glad to see H stepping forward to center stage again. And thanks for stopping by and reading. Three cheers for Dojo's blog. Glenn Lee – I am not sure. Wish I had an iPhone and that app that let’s you put the phone up to the speaker and it’ll tell you which song is playing.

Whether that be his step-father, or grandparents or child services. I did not get the impression that Horatio would take the boy in. I have read other comments like that as well, so out of curiosity, I asked my husband and friends about it, and between the 6 of us, we all had the same thought or similar. That he was just going to make sure he was taken care of, not that he was going to take care of him himself. Besides he's made sure the children were cared for in previous episodes, like the boy who's mother was shot in a 'Drive by, Miami style' boat, and the little blond by who told Horatio he didn't have to wait with him if he didn't want to and Horatio said "There's no place I'd rather be right now." Another example is of the little girl with the library book and sunshine bookmark, he made sure she was safe with child services. So I guess it's just in how you're interpreting the situation at the moment. Maybe we'll find out in a subsequent episode somewhere down the line....maybe not...we've not heard anything about any of those kids I mentioned above again have we... Anyway, I liked the episode and enjoyed watching it, it kind of reminded me of David Caruso's made for TV movie "Deadlocked" in a lot of ways, including going in where the hostages were with Kevlar on. I like seeing Horatio more 'active.' Starting with Season 4 it seems like he was letting his team do what they do best and just trusting them to do it without a lot of delegating or participation, but lately it seems as if he's 'doing' more. Horatio is a cop first and uses the science (forensics) as his discipline so he always gets the right guy (or gal), but it's nice to see him 'doing stuff' instead of just interrogating suspects. Not that I don't love to see him interrogate suspects, I think that's one of the things he's best at as an actor. Now, don't get me wrong, he could stand there and read the phone book through the entire episode and I'd love it so much I'd watch it over and over again, but I like the 'active' and 'doing more' thing a lot!

Anyone know the song at the beginning of this episode (Season 8, Episode 2)? the lyrics go like this:

Lately
I’ve been coming up
Just like [a palm tree]
People surrounding me
Yeah, i am popular
They say i’m pretty
You should come back to me
lately, lately, lately

First 20 seconds of episode, vocal sounds a bit like macy gray or britney spears.

It did seem to infer that Horatio was somehow going to care for him. Thought that a bit odd. The thing about Arrison is that he staged the fake break-in and coaxed the boy to lie in his affidavit. So, basically, no adult in the boy's life emerged unscathed. Glad you enjoyed the recap. I enjoyed writing it as I have loved CSI: Miami from the get-go. Come back next week. Thanks.

I remain bewildered in two areas: The Sloan escape from the lab (glad to know I am not alone in this regard) and young Jason's whereabouts. If I read Sloan correctly, he thinks Horatio is going to look out for his kid. Will Horatio take the child in, becoming his ward --- ala Batman and Robin --- or will he just fade into the sunset with Ray, Jr. and Madison? And why didn't Mr. Arrison, his step-father, get custody? He was not guilty of anything. Thanks for your analysis. I enjoyed your remarks.
