There is a big shocker ahead in Criminal Minds' second half of Season 12! Showrunner Erica Messer tells all (almost) in an interview with Entertainment Weekly: Criminal Minds is about to make a killer change to the way it depicts one of its heroes. For the first time ever, the CBS show — and recent People’s Choice Award winner — will get really personal with one of its core characters and take him or her “on a journey they have never been before,” teases executive producer Erica Messer. The drama will expose something in the character’s personal history that has a profound effect on his or her professional life. “This is something our team has never had to deal with,” Messer tells EW exclusively. “After 12 years of telling stories about our heroes, we are entering into the unknown. We are not a serialized drama and yet the back nine of season 12 will be heavily serialized. I think the audience will be shocked that we went in this direction with one of our heroes. They won’t see this coming.” Sadly, Messer won’t say which actor it will involve (Joe Montegna? A.J. Cook? Paget Brewster? Kirsten Vangsness? Matthew Gray Gubler?). But the storyline will kick off Feb. 1 when Jane Lynch returns to the show to reprise her role as Reid’s mom. “It’s one of those things that will certainly open so many doors for us,” teases Messer of the upcoming plot point. “We will still have a bad guy of the week. It’s not like this show will suddenly become a soap opera. But there will be a storyline running through every episode of the back nine that will be unlike anything we have ever done.” Criminal Minds, which was named Favorite TV Crime Drama earlier this month by the People’s Choice Awards, generally eschews any serialized stories. Its biggest to date involved a character named George Foyet (C. Thomas Howell), a vicious (as if there’s any other kind?) serial killer. This isn't the first time "the big shocker" has been teased. Last week, A.J. Cook (Jennifer Jareau) teased in a recent interview that "that a lot of terrible things are about to happen and some members of the team will be devastated." As for her own character, AJ Cook teases that she is going to have something very big coming up. Something huge will happen and it will rock her hard from within. JJ will have a hard time handling the situation. Then back in December, newcomer Damon Gupton (Stephen Walker) teased that "There are some twists and turns. There are some things you wouldn't expect from a particular team member," he told TVGuide.com. "Not me. Possibly somebody else." When asked if this is related to the hunt for Mr. Scratch (Bodhi Elfman), Gupton would only tease: "It could be, could not be. I have to [dangle] the carrot in front of you." The most obvious carrot is Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), given all the drama surrounding his mom Diana (Jane Lynch), and the fact that we know Lynch is returning for a two-episode arc. Reid would do anything for his mom. And also the fact that pictures have been released showing Reid in prison uniform with other inmates. Yesterday, the official press release for episode 13 "Spencer" was released and revealed that a BAU member would end up in trouble in Mexico, so much trouble that the BAU would enlist the help of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders' IRT. So what could have Reid (or someone else) done that he would end up behind bars and need the help of the IRT? Comment below if you have any theories on what "the big shocker" is. Catch all new episodes of Criminal Minds every Wednesday at 9/8c on CBS.
