CBS shared the following details about the episodes:
“Face Off” – It has been a year since Rossi nearly died at the hands of Everett Lynch, a.k.a. “The Chameleon,” and he has developed some new theories, with inspiration from his former partner, Jason Gideon (Ben Savage). The BAU team sets out on an epic hunt to capture Lynch, in the cliff-hanger to the series finale episode of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Feb. 19 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
“And in the End” – Following an explosive face-to-face encounter with Everett Lynch, a.k.a. “The Chameleon,” Dr. Reid suffers from a brain injury and, while experiencing hallucinations, is visited by ghosts from his past. Also, the BAU makes a shocking discovery about Lynch that affects Rossi personally, and the entire BAU team comes together to celebrate Rossi’s retirement, on the series finale of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Feb. 19 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Written by executive producer Erica Messer and series star Kirsten Vangsness.
Currently, the series averages 4.623 million viewers an episode.
What do you think? Are you sad to see Criminal Minds end?
Just can’t believe that as amazing as it is it’s going off! They definitely need to do a spinoff called something else
I have watched from the beginning- there were times I was disappointed in the direction but somehow they pulled back to what they were in the beginning— a great series that made you think and love the characters. I don’t know what I’ll do without it.
Sooo sad to see the series end! It has been a roller coaster ride in character development but a fabulous time. Will miss all the characters very much!
I really love this show and I wished they would seriously consider continuing this show. Also why does Reid have to get hurt, AGAIN!
One of my very favorites since the beginning. Every couple of years I binge watch the entire series from episode 1. I am going to miss Criminal Minds a lot.
I am so sad that criminal minds is ending. I gave watched from day 1 and have never missed an episode. I own every episode on dvd. Can’t wait for the last season to come out. This has been the best show ever.
Very sad to see it end! Wish there was some way they’d save it!
I’m going to miss Criminal Minds. There was no reason it couldn’t have continued as long as Law and Order SVU. CBS is making a serious mistake
One of my favorites. I will miss it.
Seriously gonna miss the show. I have been a fan since season 1 episode 1 ☹️☹️ have to shed tears because this was the last best show I enjoyed
Been watching this show since the beginning seen Actor’s plural meaning female species as well the Frosty redhead to the elelegant blondes with all equally focused on screen and behind screen I’ve loved every show of criminal minds I go to Netflix and watch the earliest episodes and the caring and compassion bleeds thru from first season to last What a ride it’s been this show has had it all going to miss the crew just like the actors who left the show early Doris said it best Kay Sarah Sarah Sad to see you go but as usual all… Read more »
I’ve watched “Criminal Minds” from the first episode to the final season finale that’s coming up and they’ve become like family. Spencer Reid is a lot like my own son so when something happens to him it’s like it’s happening to my son and it upsets me. I really wish that it wasn’t coming to an end but, I guess it’s like they say, “All good things must come to an end” and that includes this. It’s going to take quite a show to try to replace this one. I really don’t think there’s one that can.
I wish the show would continue indefinitely. I think it is one of the best shows on TV. I will miss the show and the characters.
I am so so sad. I have seen reruns for the 3rd. time and I just love them. Even though since Hitch and Morgan left it hasn’t been as good as it was but still they are the best. It breaks my heart as its getting to the end.
I love Criminal Minds, I have seen every show at least 4 times maybe more. I love the characters and the way they handle everything on the show and interact with each other. I will miss them sooooo much
I have watched this show sense it started. It has had it’s up and downs with different actors changing. Some I love some not so much. The show has always been top grade for me. I will truly miss it. One of your best fans.
