'Criminal Minds' Season 10 Spoilers, News: 'A Thousand Suns' Recap, 'The Itch' Spoilers
"Criminal Minds" Season 10 Episode 3, entitled "A Thousand Suns" opened up with a scene showing a packed plane, with passengers complaining about the lack of Wi-Fi and other onboard mishaps. The following scenes then show the aircraft hurling into a free fall which sent the passengers into a panic mode. Seconds later, the plane crashed to the ground, killing almost everyone on board except the co-pilot.
News about the flight crash was reported and FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit was called on to the site to investigate. The team discovered later that minutes prior to the crash, the pilots experienced system failure in the cockpit.
Further investigations lead them to believe that the flight was compromised from the ground via the plane's wi-fi system. The team then managed to find their unsub in a secluded property who is on his way to system control another packed aircraft.
Caught with a controller in his hand, the agents shoot the perpetrator and the device. Luckily, the pilots on-board were able to make an emergency landing soon as the system control broke off.
Agent Callahan's emotional ties with the incident pointed out the loss of her brother-in-law and sister during the 9-11 tragedy.
The episode closes with Callahan, Reid (Matthey Gray Gubler), and others placing flowers onto the wreckage of the crash site.
Now on the next episode, entitled "The Itch," it was reported that the BAU will be up against an unsub with murderous track record and an "obsessive skin condition."
"When a body is discovered in Atlanta covered in scratches, the BAU is going to find that this death and subsequent murders could be linked to an UnSub with an obsessive skin disorder," a synopsis reads.
