‘Criminal Minds’ season 9 spoilers: More on a Blake-centric episode

Has anyone else felt like there hasn’t been very much for Blake to do on “Criminal Minds” season 9 so far? If these thoughts have crossed your mind, we imagine that you are going to be pretty pleased that the character will have a more substantial part to play on “Bully,” the December 11 episode of the show that places her in a story that gives you a sense of her backstory, and a high-stakes mission in the present.

However, let’s just say that relations between the characters are not exactly going to be on the greatest terms when this episode picks up, and it could be the actual completion of the case that starts to bring them closer together. This hour is entitled “Bully,” and you can read some more news all about it in the synopsis below:

“When the BAU is called to Kansas City to investigate a series of murders, a tense reunion ensues between Blake and her father, a retired police captain, and her brother, a detective, who must work together to help solve the crime.”

This episode follows the tradition of the show giving us some very character-specific hours this season; while we have not had much in terms of long-term stories, there have at least been opportunities to get inside of the heads of some of the BAU members. Take, for example, the episode that was all about Thomas Gibson’s Hotch looking back at the death of his wife, or Garcia’s “Day of the Dead” celebration. We also still have the upcoming 200th episode, which we know is going to be very specific to JJ, at least in terms of learning what she was up to in the year she was apart from the team. (New Section Chief Mateo Cruz is definitely involved here in a substantial manner.)
