Since Garcia's got the family drama in that episode I wonder how involved in the case she'll be. If she's away, I wonder if Monty would fill in for her (or Kevin, but we haven't seen him in a while)

Promo pics are out for episode 15 so I'll make a new thread in a little bit

Kirsten did an interview with TVFanatic regarding the current story arc. - Link

And just to listen to the arc of what's happening in the next three, four episodes it put me through a rollercoaster sort of experience.

"And that Linda Barnes is no joke, she is like the Dolores Umbridge of the BAU."

While Paget Brewster (Prentiss) will still be in the episode, you'll get to see her in a different light. And it continues in upcoming episodes, Vangsness says, "It's scary but wonderful, and crazy, very well handled.

Thanks for sharing that interview!

She'll probably still work the case. Not sure how Nicholas is doing. I thought he was better now. And I was thinking if they needed someone to fill in Monty would fill in and his actor would be a guest star. But that probably won't happen.


In that interview, Kirsten says they're going to take every small thing they've mentioned about Garcia's background and are putting it in this episode. That makes me a little nervous, because I feel like they haven't been consistent with her story.

Just read the TV fanatic article . I want to be a fly on the wall as Erica and most of the women on the show have a Hottub and wine day !

jls2971

I don't know if Erica joins them. I think it might just be Kirsten, Aisha, Paget and AJ.


I wonder if this Barnes story will come up again at the end of the season. I also wonder if we'll get a cliffhanger ending to lead into the 300th episode.

d18

A cliffhanger leading to the 300th episode will be good but it's gonna be such a bummer if we don't get a new season.

I know Harry basically announced the season renewal but the cynic in me is going to wait for the official announcement before being relieved.

jls2971

I get what you're saying. It's always risky to end on a cliffhanger, especially with an older show like this.

I'm sure everyone wants a season 14, but things technically could still fall apart. One of the biggest things with CM is it's produced by two studios, so those two studios have to come to agreements with each other.

Next weeks' airing will be Survivor - NCIS repeat - Criminal Minds, so the ratings might get ugly.

Is Seal Team done for the season?

d18

Not yet. Seal Team will also be Code Black's lead-in for some episodes. I guess CBS is just stretching Seal Team to air in April.
