Cat and Reid in Criminal Minds season 11.

There could be a chance for a twisted love affair between a psychopath and a BAU special agent in the future episodes of "Criminal Minds" season 11.

According to guest star Aubrey Plaza, there could be a chance for her character Cat Adams to return to the long-running police procedural series in the future. She also revealed that there could be a blossoming romance between Cat and BAU Special Agent Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) even if she is already behind bars.

"For me, it was a love story," the actress revealed in an interview with TVLine. "And I don't think it's over. I think you're going to see Spencer visiting me in jail, Hannibal Lecter style. I can't speak for the writers or the producers, but I told them this is not over. These people are soulmates."

Plaza's character was introduced in the series during the 11<sup>th episode titled "Entropy," where her supposed romantic date with Agent Reid turned deadly after she told him that she planted several bombs inside the restaurant where they were having dinner.

Reid managed to control the situation and stop her from blowing up the entire restaurant by proving that he empathized with her past hurts and fears. But can the two start a romantic relationship even if one of them is behind bars?

Meanwhile, the upcoming episode of "Criminal Minds" season 11 titled "The Bond" will center on the murders that were committed along the truck stops along the Southern highway routes.

The official synopsis for the episode reads:

"The BAU searches for a motive and an UnSub when victims are found in truck stop restrooms along highways throughout the South."

The episode will feature several guest stars like Wilson Bethel as Randy Jacobs, Veronica Cartwright as Flora Martin, Timothy Ryan Cole as Agent William Waters, Sal Neslusan as Chloe Andrews, Maurice Hall as Dr. Ivan Smith, and Regina McKee Redwing as Linda Calvary.

The next episode of "Criminal Minds" season 11 will air on Wednesday, Jan. 27, on CBS.
