Ecklie does, as promised by a preview that gave away the last ten minutes of the episode, split up the Las Vegas CSI nightshift we've come to know and love over one hundred episodes.
Grissom will still be working with Sara, which foreshadows more romantic tension, and Greg, which likely means that Grissom will have to continue to mentor Greg as he becomes a CSI.
