After a brief hiatus, BAU agents will have to face a dangerous online drug syndicate while dealing with the infamous Dirty Dozen in the next episode of "Criminal Minds" season 11.

In the upcoming episode titled "Internal Affairs," the agents will work together with the National Security Agency to look deeper into the underground drug ring that operates using the Internet. If Hotch's intuition turns out to be true, working with the NSA for the particular case can also help them pin down the dangerous group of assassins that they have been hunting for a long time.

However, viewers of the show will also see Penelope Garcia's (Kirsten Vangsness) life in danger since she will be the next target of the Dirty Dozen. The group wants her dead since she almost discovered the identities of the assassin's members. To save her life, BAU's technical analyst will place herself in the witness protection program to be able to remain safe.

But in real life, Vangsness is far from being in danger, after People recently reported that she is now engaged to actor/writer Keith Hanson. According to the 43-year-old actress, she already found the "perfect partner." She also mentioned that she is heavily invested in their relationship. "When you're so into somebody and you get to just mush up next to them – that's the best part of it," Vangsness revealed.

The official synopsis for the next episode of "Criminal Minds" reads:

"After two undercover DEA agents are murdered and a third goes missing, the BAU joins the NSA to investigate whether an underground Internet drug syndicate is involved. Also, Hotch hopes the team's work with the NSA brings them closer to finding the 'Dirty Dozen' hitmen ring."

Will the BAU agents finally catch the members of the dangerous Dirty Dozen?

"Criminal Minds" season 11 episode 9 airs on Wednesday, Dec. 2, on CBS.
