Criminal Minds Season 15, Episode 5 sees two of our own ambushed. Here’s what to expect and how to watch the episode live on CBS.

Criminal Minds Season 15, Episode 5 officially puts us at the halfway point in the final season. And the stakes are certainly high when two of our own are ambushed on a case. Here’s a look at how to watch the episode, as well as what to expect.

We’re heading into the halfway point with fear for Luke and Matt. And this comes after we’ve already had our worries for the two. Luke was faced with a potential bomb (don’t worry; false alarm) and Matt opened up to Rossi about financial problems (love that he’s going to be a co-writer with Rossi now). So, I need both of these men to survive Criminal Minds.

It’s looking harder than ever before. The two are ambushed while on a case and taken somewhere. We see them both tied up in what looks to be some dank basement or warehouse, with the UnSub who wants to kill them both. Garcia begs for the team to find them.

At the same time, they’re dealing with a case involving various fatal shootings. Is this the same UnSub? That would make sense considering the UnSub could feel like the BAU is getting too close and decide to turn the tables on the team. I’m just intrigued by how one UnSub can take two FBI agents. Does this mean that there’s someone else out there working with the UnSub? Is there a team?

With this being the final season, anything is possible. We could lose one of our own. JJ has been shot, Luke thought he was going to die from a bomb, and now both Luke and Matt have been abducted. What’s next?
