Prentiss and JJ have some important decisions to make in Criminal Minds Season 15, Episode 8. Here’s a look inside the Feb. 12 episode.

The BAU is heading off to Texas for Criminal Minds Season 15, Episode 8. There are three episodes left including this one, and here’s a look inside the episode with the synopsis.

There’s not much to work with. We know that the series is coming to an end. That means there are questions about what’s going to happen to the team. Will everyone go their separate ways or will some stick around?

My gut is going with Prentiss leaving. She’ll choose to move to Denver with her partner after that conversation during the previous episode. It is time for her to take this step, and it’s not like she couldn’t have a great live out in Denver. While she’ll leave her friends, this certainly wouldn’t be the first time she’s had to start a new life.

Meanwhile, JJ has some important decisions to make. Is this a hint that she’s looking to walk away? I’d love to see JJ be offered the chance to lead the BAU should Prentiss walk away. However, I wonder if she’ll get the offer of a promotion elsewhere and had to decide whether to take it or not. Maybe Will would like her to take a promotion in a safer job.

Then there’s the case, which involves murdered businessmen. That’s all we know from the synopsis, although the promo goes into a little more detail. We hear that the UnSub is devolving. What’s with the look of shock on Rossi’s face?
