"Criminal Minds" has long been one of the best psychological thrillers on air, with seasons upon seasons of mystery and intrigue. Fans of the police procedural can definitely attest to the excitement each episode brings.

The CBS show is currently on its 11th season, but, like the others, it is currently on a winter hiatus. With the amount of leaks and spoilers about the next episode making rounds online, fans can barely keep still as they wait for its return.

The next episode is sure to bring in a lot of thrill, especially with guest star, Aubrey Plaza ("Parks and Recreation"). Plaza will be playing the role of Cat Adams, a girl Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) goes on a date with. But don't let the romantic vibe settle in just yet, because reports say that the date will take a turn for the worse.

Cat will turn out to be a clever opponent as she lures Dr. Reid into a dangerous intellectual game. TVLine reports that she will suddenly pull a gun on the FBI agent, who will have the difficult task of saving himself and all of the patrons in the restaurant with them.

Speaking of evil antagonists, the Dirty Dozen has been the center of BAU's attention throughout season 11. The group of killers has managed to avoid capture for so long and not a lot is known about them, but reports claim that the back half of season 11 will touch more on the subject.

The BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) will apparently hatch a scheme to get rid of the dangerous criminals. It is unknown if Spencer's date with Cat has anything to do with the said plan.

"Criminal Minds" season 11 episode 11, titled "Entropy," was reportedly directed by Heather Cappiello and written by Breen Frazier. The series will return on Jan. 13 on CBS.
