Criminal Minds season 13 episode 18 video: Rossi and Krystall’s history

Criminal Minds season 13 episode 18 is coming to CBS on Wednesday night, and with its title being “The Dance of Love” you would probably expect something romantic.

Yet, that is pretty clearly not the case based on the new sneak peek below. In this preview, you get ultimately was is a pretty clear sense of what Rossi’s third marriage was like to Krystall — or at least how it came about. David enters Prentiss’ office in order to announce that he needs a few days off from the BAU, with the simple reason for that being that he needs to deal with something personal when it comes to her. It’s a rarity for Rossi to announce that he needs time off, so the immediate assumption that it’s something important.

As for how this marriage came about, let’s just say that it involved alcohol, Las Vegas, and her working as a blackjail dealer. This wasn’t exactly a long marriage, given that the two parties annulled it soon after it happened once they started to sober up a little bit. It was a drunken mistake to get married, but the question here remains just how much contact the two have had over the years. It’s obviously something that Rossi doesn’t talk about all that much — while Prentiss is aware of Krystall’s existence, the same can’t be said for Garcia. That seems to offend her in some way, given that she fancies herself as the focal point of almost all gossip within the offices of the BAU. How dare there be some conversation that doesn’t involve her in some form?

On a slightly different note, who digs Rossi’s new look with the lighter hair? We dig it — its ultimately adds a distinguished feel to the character’s look. We know that this isn’t the first episode to feature it, but still. We’re just glad that there’s a chance to uncover yet another part of the character’s past that we haven’t seen just yet — especially with Joe Mantegna having such a large role in the episode itself.
