Criminal Minds season 13 episode 22 (finale): A huge cliffhanger ahead

Criminal Minds season 13 episode 22 is the second of two installments that are airing back to back next week (also known as the season 13 finale) and based on some of what we’re seeing, these two installments could be game-changing. There’s a big cliffhanger coming at the end and that could set the stage for many different things. For starters, there are some questions when it comes to the show’s status beyond this season. While signs seem to suggest that a season 14 is going to be coming up in the future, this is one of those things that still makes fans nervous until we hear the glorious renewal statement from the network.

Meanwhile, the other major question here is whether or not every character is going to even survive in the event that the show does come back. If the cliffhanger for this season is anywhere close to the one that we had at the end of season 12, there could be reasons to be concerned for most of the summer, but there’s no better way to get fans talking about the show until it comes back!

Ready to get a few more details all about what’s set to be coming up next? CarterMatt is here to help.

Season 13, episode 21 – “Mixed Signals” – The BAU is called to Taos, N.M. to investigate an UnSub who is targeting his victims’ temporal lobes, on the first episode of the double-episode 13^th season finale of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, April 18 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. (The attached photo above is from this episode.)

Season 13 episode 22 – “Believer” – When Reid discovers former FBI Special Agent Owen Quinn (James Urbaniak) locked inside a storage unit, the BAU questions the credibility of Quinn’s bizarre accounts of searching for an UnSub that he named “The Strangler,” on the second episode of the double-episode 13^th season finale cliffhanger of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, April 18 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Is the Strangler set to be the new big bad going into season 14? We’re down for that, mostly because Mr. Scratch has been done away with for a little while now. With that in mind, it feels right to introduce some other sort of new adversary that could cause problems for the team for many episodes to come.
