'Criminal Minds' season 11 spoilers: Episode 12 and 13 synopses revealed

First look of the upcoming episode, "Drive." CBS Official

"Criminal Minds" season 11 just put an end to its Dirty Dozen arc and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) can finally enjoy her freedom — thanks to Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler). So what's next for the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU)?

After the thrilling scenes from "Entropy" last Wednesday, the team will be back with a new case. The episode, titled "Drive," already had a synopsis even before the second half of the season premiered.

Although CBS did not provide more details, fans should have an idea on what they can expect from the show this week. The next episode features a series of gruesome murders in Boston. Bodies are laid out in public places throughout the city and the BAU will head to the location to investigate.

The team speculates that the unsub could be a taxi or a "ride-share driver" as what Rossi (Joe Mantegna) said during a briefing for all units shown in the episode trailer from Spoiler Guide.

All the victims had one thing in common — they used the service before their deaths. The sneak peek also revealed that the unsub kills his prey by cutting their heads off with a guillotine.

Based on the trailer, it appears that the killer chooses his victims when they confess something to him during their ride, and those he perceives as "sinners" will be killed.

Apart from the promo trailer, not much has been revealed; but it already gave away the modus operandi of the killer. It will surely be interesting to see what his motives are and how he came to be the killer that he is.

Meanwhile, the synopsis for another upcoming episode has been spotted at The Futon Critic. Titled "Bond," the episode features victims discovered in truck stop restrooms along South highways. Hotch's (Thomas Gibson) team will be challenged as they will search for the killer and the motive.

Catch new episodes of "Criminal Minds" season 11 every Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
