Season 1, Episode 7 of “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” titled “What Doesn’t Kill Us…” features the BAU team in a pretty tough spot. Still hot on the trail of the murderous Sicarius (Zach Gilford), the team encounters a major roadblock when the case is officially closed by the Attorney General. Unsure of how to best move forward, Rossi (Joe Mantegna) suggests that the team calls up Dr. Reid for assistance.
While the team didn’t end up phoning Reid, just the mention of the character was enough to get many fans champing at the bit for a cameo. “THEY MENTIONED REID,” @reidstheory tweeted. “YES. ROSSI YOU SHOULD IN FACT CALL REID. HE WILL EASILY SOLVE THE CASE.” The fact that Reid has been mentioned once again has also given some fans more confidence that the fan-favorite doctor will show up eventually. “Maaaaybe for season 2, they can have him back???? PLEASE????” @ryuu_311 tweeted.
The odds of Reid showing up in the already-confirmed “Criminal Minds: Evolution” Season 2 are actually looking pretty solid. In an interview with TV Insider, showrunner Erica Messer confirmed that Matthew Gray Gubler’s absence has been due to his commitments to other projects, but that they’re hoping to get him back on-board. She also teased that Reid’s assignment is going to factor into the future of the show, so it seems fans have a good chance of seeing the long-awaited return of the doctor they’ve been hoping for.
