This week, the BAU hunted down an UnSub who is posing as a ride share driver and killing and beheading women all over Boston. Next week, the team will be on the move once more as they search for a motive as well as an UnSub when victims are found in truck stop restrooms along highways throughout the South.
In the promo for the episode titled "The Bond," the UnSub is seen taking a picture of his victim on his phone. The victim has her hands bound and is leaning over a bloody toilet bowl. An elderly woman is seen talking to a man and saying, "Mother will love and accept you no matter what."
Another victim is bound and gagged and is placed by the UnSub in the trunk of a car. Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) thinks that the UnSub has a kill list and is going through it one by one. Later, the UnSub is seen staring at himself in the mirror.
"Mother was right about you," he says, before rendering another victim unconscious and locking her up in the trunk of his car.
It appears that the man has been keeping his victims locked up in a barn as he tells a woman through the locked door that he doesn't want to hurt her. At the end of the clip, he is seen sobbing as he leans on his mother, who asks, "What more could a mother ask for?"
It looks like the team members will be leaving their Virginia headquarters as they pursue the UnSub, who appears to have some serious mental problems stemming from his relationship with his mother. While next Wednesday's episode will feature all of the BAU team, upcoming episodes will see special guest stars coming to the show.
According to TVLine, Marisol Nichols will be reprising her role as FBI Agent Natalie Colfax in the 15th episode of the show titled "A Badge and a Gun." Award-winning actor Danny Glover will also be appearing on the show as Derek Morgan's (Shemar Moore) father in the 16th episode of the season titled "Derek."
"Criminal Minds" airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on CBS.
