In the season seven premiere, Caine appears dead, but had staged his own shooting on the airport tarmac with the help of Wolfe and an ATF sniper, much to the confusion and anger of Calleigh and Eric. This was done in order to allow Caine go underground to flush out and apprehend Saris. Eric seemed especially hurt by Caine selecting Wolfe to assist him. Horatio understood this, but confided in him that despite being the obvious choice, should the plan have failed, he didn't want to unnecessarily risk having anyone's careers tainted by the failure, least of all Eric's.
Caine is next seen at the home of Julia and Kyle, where if only for Kyle's sake, he tries once again to deter Julia from staying with Saris. He gives her the key to a "safe place" and instructs her and Kyle to go there and wait while he flushes Saris out of hiding. At the episode's end, it seems Julia has come to her senses. She agrees to ask a divorce from her husband (Saris), just as he is about to leave the Marina with a boat full of fused alloy bullets. With Horatio's family out of Saris's clutches, the two men face off. Saris fires first and Horatio ducks the shot. Saris sees an opportunity to escape and as it's all he can do to stop him, Horatio fires a round into the gas tank of the yacht, causing an explosion. As the fire department tends to the scene some time later, Eric, while happy to have his chief and best friend back from the dead, informs Horatio that there is no trace of the body.
