Criminal Minds Discuss Episode 7.05 here
THE BAU TEAM SEARCHES FOR CHILDREN BEING ABDUCTED IN ST. LOUIS, AND ROSSI RECEIVES SHOCKING NEWS FROM HIS FIRST WIFE, ON “CRIMINAL MINDS,” WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19
Criminal Minds' Joe Mantegna: Rossi's Ex-Wife's Visit Is Bittersweet
Criminal Minds' Joe Mantegna: Rossi's Ex-Wife's Visit Is Bittersweet
by Joyce Eng
It only took four years, but Joe Mantegna finally got his Criminal Minds wish.
"I've been campaigning to meet [Rossi's] ex-wives since we've established it in the third season," Mantegna tells TVGuide.com. "I've even campaigned for an episode where all three show up. How diverse would they be? I didn't want it to be like, you go to a play and they have a shotgun hanging over the fireplace. Somebody better grab that shotgun and use it by Act 3. I laid that in there with the producers about having these three ex-wives for so long: 'I think it's time we addressed that.'"
Mantegna, not to mention fans, will have to wait to meet all three. It will just be ex numero uno Carolyn (Isabella Hoffman) who drops by Wednesday's episode. Visiting from San Francisco, she's seemingly there to catch up, but she is actually there to deliver some news to Rossi.
"It's certainly very surprising," Mantegna says. "But it's realistic. I think the fans will be satisfied as I was with it. It's got everything. It's bittersweet. It's got the good, the bad, the ugly, the sad. ... And I think we came up with a really good story for a way to introduce that aspect of his life, which may now make it that we never know who the other two are. It's that complex."

CRIMINAL MINDS Season 7 - 704. Painless - Review
Director Larry Teng and writer Breen Frazier
In my life, there have been three “where were you events” – 9/11 of course, Oklahoma City and Columbine. Just recently out of high school when Columbine occurred, I remember watching the coverage almost unable to breathe. It was horrifying. The aftermath was equally awful as the media pored over every detail of the case wondering what could have caused those boys to do what they did.
This excellent episode, written by the always fantastic Breen Frazier (as nice a guy as you will ever meet. Totally not someone you would expect to be able to so hauntingly plumb the depths of loss of innocence as he’s expertly done in both this episode and others he’s written such as Pleasure Is My Business and, of course, Lauren) spun me back to those chilling post Columbine days.
From the visit to the younger brother of the killer who had been idolizing his deceased sibling (loved that the mother who had lost so much didn’t ask for a search warrant), to being introduced to the Unsub - a young man who alone had had the guts to stare a killer in the eyes and then been denied his story, his moment of heroism and strength in the aftermath of it all – we were led down a dark and winding path full of badly-healed pain that I found heartbreakingly sad.
From the visit to the younger brother of the killer who had been idolizing his deceased sibling (loved that the mother who had lost so much didn’t ask for a search warrant), to being introduced to the Unsub - a young man who alone had had the guts to stare a killer in the eyes and then been denied his story, his moment of heroism and strength in the aftermath of it all – we were led down a dark and winding path full of badly-healed pain that I found heartbreakingly sad.
Thankfully, this episode was made up of more than just the melancholy moments. It also added in some wonderful personal touches such as the laugh-out-loud prank war between Reid and Morgan (Reid’s revenge made me giggle for several minutes), the sweet interactions between Jack and Hotch (I love that Jack seems to have inherited his father’s intellectual way of trying to resolve an issue), JJ and Reid’s “mean girl” conversation (had we heard before that she was a Valedictorian?) and of course, who could forget the awesome moment where we learned that JJ and Emily had stayed in touch via online scrabble (with a shout-out to long-time fan Cheeto Breath!).
These scenes grounded the episode, and made it hopeful. They seemed to show that in the middle of amazing tragedy, friendship and family can shine a bright light.
Definitely, one of Breen’s finest outings – and a great one for season seven.
Criminal Minds - SPOILER! Casting News
Former Dirty Sexy Money star Bellamy Young will guest in an upcoming episode of Criminal Minds as Beth, a museum curator who meets Hotch (Thomas Gibson) in the park while he’s training for triathalon.
Before the start of the season, showrunner Erica Messer teased a new romance for one of the agents, but declined to give details. She had also hinted, however, that she wanted this season to see a new beginning for Hotch, whose ex-wife was killed a few season ago. “Hotch … has been going through the motions of raising a child as a single working parent and mourning the loss of a great love,” she told EW after the premiere. “And even though he and Haley were divorced, she was his first love, his only life and all that. We’d really like him to smile again and let go of that. It’s going to be new and exciting for all of us and the audience.”
