'Criminal Minds' Season 13: Will Hotch Certainly Be Back?

In this episode, Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Taylor) revealed that she will meet her brother Gabriel Lewis (Terrence Terrell). The man that was introduced himself was not her real brother, Gabriel, but it was Desmond, through the help of Mr. Scratch, or Peter Lewis. He was a victim of Mr. Scratch who suffered from a dissociation that caused him to recoil from his thoughts and memories or sense of identity.

Mr. Scratch knew all the details of Gabriel's life including how he was related to Dr. Tara. Gabriel was held up somewhere. In the previous season, a voice was heard shouting "Luke." The doctor discovered a secret message in a verse found in a gospel of the Bible. Luckily, they were able to save Gabriel just right in time.

Her eagerness to unlock the secret behind the mysterious man Behavioral Analysis Unit or known as BAU will open an investigation and Dr. Tara even put her father into an interrogation. This will lead to the doctor's more identity revelations. These revelations will bring her to FBI. The WPP will protect them from whom else but Mr. Scratch. It appears that the terrorism would be imposing at BAU stepping up.

This season was directed by Joe Mantegna. It was said that the next episode will also focus on Garcia and capability to hold a secret will be put to test. She has learned more things about Tara's brother and when she would disclose this. Ratings of the show according to TV Line have been suffering since the #NoHotchNoWatch movement started. An earlier episode illustrated that Hotch will be reunited with his son in some kind of a witness protection program.

Viewers have to wait for the upcoming episode to know if Hotch will certainly come back. The Criminal Minds Season 13 will be aired on Wednesday, December 7 at 9:00 p.m. EST on CBS.
