No, not the mint.  CSI started it’s 9th season last week with a great conclusion to last years Warrick cliffhanger.  It is nice to see William Petersen getting some credit after 8 years (for example, here and here).  Despite the character’s introverted nature, his portrayal of Grissom has been the heart of the show since the debut episode.

The first episode of season 9 was one of the best single episodes in recent memory (the miniature killer arc was great from season 7) and Petersen’s performance was masterful in its controlled emotion.  In the opening scene, Grissom’s clenched jaw communicates so much.
