Last week's Criminal Minds season 9 episode 11 led the BAU to Kansas City, where they investigated an alarming series of murders. Then, we witnessed a tense but heartwarming reunion between Blake and her father and brother in the process. We delighted over the idea that Blake's father was a retired police captain while his brother was actually a detective, and both helped the BAU solve the case. This week, the storyline for the newest episode will somehow follow the same pattern. For one, we will see a reunion between Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) and her former lover, who is a skilled hacker. Garcia's old flame will also actively take part in the investigation of the newest case the BAU faces. Sounds interesting, eh?
