‘Criminal Minds’ season 11, episode 12 preview: What lies ahead in ‘Drive’

On Wednesday night’s new episode of “Criminal Minds,” you are certainly getting an episode in “Entropy” that is powerful for so many reasons. Not only did “Entropy” tell you more about Reid’s absence from the team, but it delivered to you a powerful performance from both Matthew Gray Gubler and also Aubrey Plaza. We weren’t sure what to expect from the episode going in, but it was an excellent bit of storytelling that played into the Dirty Dozen, who we’ve been hearing about for some time this season.

So how do you follow that up? Based on the first details from next week’s new episode “Drive,” it feels as though we’re going back to some of the basics, and that includes giving you a traditional UnSub and a twisted case in a part of America that requires some travel to get to. Take a look at the synopsis:

“When bodies are discovered in public places throughout Boston, the BAU investigates whether a taxi or ride-share service the victims used before their deaths could lead the team to the UnSub.“

Based on some of the details that we’ve seen for the second part of this season in general, we’d say that there are many interest surprises in store for fans … in particular some that they will remember for quite some time. The show is going to be doing some especially big things in and around the upcoming 250th episode entitled “The Sandman.” We’ll have some other news when it comes to the show; stay tuned for more coverage.
