Can you believe the Criminal Minds series finale is here tonight? Make sure you don’t miss a beat of how it all ends. Here are the live stream details.

It’s hard to believe but the Criminal Minds series finale is here. We’ll see how it all ends for the BAU tonight, and you most definitely don’t want to miss a beat. Here’s how to watch the episode live online.

The show is back to its 9/8c timeslot tonight after a one-week special at a later time. However, it’s a two-part series finale. That shouldn’t be all that surprising considering it’s clear that both episodes put the focus back on The Chameleon. The ending to the previous episode showed us where The Chameleon currently is after shockingly killing his daughter despite her initial help.

It all starts when Rossi gains some new theories about Everett Lynch. By the sounds of things, the team is going to listen to these theories. He’s not been as obsessed with the serial killer as of late, but the chase through the woods brought back all those feelings of when Lynch left Rossi alive when death was so easy.

However, things aren’t going to end all that well. Reid is going to be injured during the first episode of the night, leading to a brain injury in the second episode. We’ll get a lot of hallucinations, which means the chance for some characters to return from the dead. One of those characters is Gideon, although it’s not Mandy Patinkin playing the role. Instead, we’ll see Ben Savage return as Young Jason Gideon.

Do expect Erin Strauss, The Reaper, and Maeve Donovan. We’ll also see Reid’s mom show back up. While I thought the second episode of the season was the best goodbye, it looks like she’s still lucid, which could allow for an excellent ending to this storyline.

“Face Off” — It has been a year since Rossi nearly died at the hands of Everett Lynch, a.k.a. “The Chameleon,” and he has developed some new theories, with inspiration from his former partner, Jason Gideon (Ben Savage). The BAU team sets out on an epic hunt to capture Lynch, in the cliff-hanger to the series finale episode of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Feb. 19 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

While we don’t want Criminal Minds to end, it’s going to be exciting to see what happens. Who will leave the BAU and who will stay? We know from the synopsis that Rossi is definitely going to retire at the end of all this, but what about the others?
