‘Criminal Minds’ season 9, episode 12 preview: Garcia’s hacking ways

“Criminal Minds” will be on the air tonight with a new and very important episode, and at the center of it is a character who has much more in her past than she has had the chance to show viewers so far. Garcia is a fun addition to the cast, but what makes her stand out is more of what she is capable of that you don’t always see. You’re going to get some of that on “The Black Queen” Wednesday night.

Specifically here, one of the talents of hers that we are referring to is her ability to use some of her hacking skills to contribute heavily to a case … though there are some moments that may catch even her by surprise. That is what we get out of the sneak peek below, where she has a discussion about office politics rudely interrupted by someone saying “meow meow” on a computer. Basically, this is the most terrifying utterance of the phrase “meow meow” since Enzo back in “Big Brother 12.”

Outside of hacking story, there are some other important events that this episode will help to build to. There is only a tiny handful of story left to tell until the 200th episode, and that is going to be a big one. After all, this is the installment that will answer some questions with JJ and Mateo Cruz, and get us ultimately at a place that the show wants us to be moving forward for the rest of the season.
