Yeah, I know it’s humid down there, but come on. The team heads down to the crime scene, and they’ve managed to arrive so quickly that there are still pools of wet blood on the ground. Oh, and the detective died, all the evidence was lost in the flood, the killer stopped for a year and a half after Katrina, but is now back, and now the detective’s son (detective jr!) is in charge of the case. But what does ‘Jones’ mean? Only time will tell! Now that’s dedication to your line of work right there. How determined is he? When knocked over by a collapsing tree, and with just moments of life left in him, he manages to grab a piece of broken glass and scrawl the word JONES on the wall of his living room. We also open with a flashback to Hurricane Katrina, as a cop, desperate to catch a serial killer, refuses to leave his home as the levee’s break, he’s that sure he’s close to a solution. Is this going to be the end of the storyline, or is it going to start getting really bad?
This episode is even opening with a ‘previously-on-Criminal-Minds’ package about Reid’s drug abuse.
