With two episodes remaining, the American police-procedural television series “Criminal Minds” will wrap up on May 6 with its 23rd episode for the current Season 10.
Last year, even before the end of Season 9, the show was already renewed for Season 10. As early as March 13, 2014, “Criminal Minds” Season 10 was officially confirmed on CBS and the decision came with the announcement that Jennifer Love Hewitt will be joining the show as an undercover agent to join the Behavioural Analysis Unit (BAU).
Early this month, “Criminal Minds” Season 10 executive producer Erica Messer says that she is hopeful that the TV series will be renewed for Season 11, citing that six actors of the show are already up for contract negotiations.
She also said that the show’s spinoff series “Beyond Borders” will get a series pick-up in the coming weeks.
Messer also explained that if “Criminal Minds” Season 10 gets the green light from CBS, the show plans to explore Reid’s love life.
As early as late in January, Messer has been teasing that there are already plans for Season 11 of “Criminal Minds” even though there is no official decision yet from CBS, details Renew Cancel TV.
In terms of ratings, “Criminal Minds” Season 10 is posting an average of over 10 million viewers per episode so it is still a wonder why CBS has not renewed the show just yet. It could be that the network is looking more on the better potentials of the new spinoff series more than the original show.
Shadow monster on Episode 21
Meanwhile, “Criminal Minds” Season 10 had another riveting episode 21 aired on April 22 titled “Mr. Scratch.”
Three people have been implicated in murders are all claiming that they have been attacked by a clawed shadow monster whom they all say is responsible for these crimes. The BAU begins to believe they are looking for an unsub who is controlling the three suspects’ minds.
The case however becomes more complex when the hunt for the supposed unsub puts the life of one of members of the BAU team in danger.
The first of the three murder suspects is Larry who was accused for the murder of his wife. He says he did not do it because it was a monster with talons who did it. Unfortunately for him, evidences point that he was the one who stabbed his wife and he was still clutching the knife when authorities came barging in to the scene of the crime, details Christian Post.
The two other murder suspects are Christine and Daniel who also told the same stories. Christine seems to have lost her mind after telling police about the attack of the monster on her while Daniel claims the monster has raped him but upon being subjected to a rape kit, they found no evidence of rape.
The BAU later found out that all three suspects were adopted in 1985 and it was then that they somehow discovered what the motive of “Mr. Scratch” really was against the three.
