Criminal Minds season 13 episode 2 video: Returning to normal
In some ways, this episode will feel more like the start of a new chapter than the season 12 finale did, largely because everyone’s now had a little bit of time off in the wake of the Mr. Scratch saga coming to a close. The likes of Prentiss and many others all had a little bit of much-deserved time away from the BAU to collect themselves — in that timespan apparently Prentiss took up a habit of binge-watching and we’re already immediately curious as to what some of the shows she watched were.
So what happened while many of the agents were away? Apparently Matt Simmons was being thrown right into the fire, taking on a wide array of cases and trying to keep much of the unit afloat. Sure, this is a crash course, but he actually seems to be happy about it. For one, it beats traveling all over the world, and he was also reasonably equipped in some of the necessary skills needed to be a BAU agent thanks to his time at the IRT.
Of course, all breaks come to a close and we didn’t get to see much of this one simple because there’s not something all that exciting (at least per the producers) about Emily scrolling around through Netflix. There are many cases that have been saved up over time while the team was away and they’re going to have to make up for lost time both in terms of reading up and also taking new ones. The one at the center of Wednesday night’s episode is going to feel especially creepy, given that the remains of many different victims are going to be found in old suitcases. There’s something about this case that could feel like the recent cliffhanger for The Blacklist, with the big difference here being that it’s going to come about on a much larger scale. Good luck to the team figuring this one out, but the good news is that they will have Reid back 100%! At the end of the sneak preview we learned that he is a full-fledged member of the team once more and has been reinstated to the fullest. Now, let’s just hope that there aren’t any more horrible people out there who decide that targeting him is a good idea.
