Meanwhile, fans of the series are still reeling over the action-packed premiere. It has been revealed that Scratch (Bodhi Elfman) was behind the crash that killed Walker (Damon Gupton). He also tortured Prentiss to get information regarding Hotch (Thomas Gibson) and his location in the Witness Protection Program.
Fortunately, the BAU members managed to find her in time. Scratch was finally killed. Showrunner Erica Messer told TV Guide that it was time to kill of the character.
"Any supervillain needs to really affect a hero, so we had to go there with him and we chose to end our Scratch story in our premiere," Messer said.
She further added, "It really came about because of where we took the premiere. The path we sort of ended up going down felt like it was unforgivable if the team didn't catch him. Now Scratch has been out there a long time, he's made a lot of friends with bad people, so you never know if his handiwork come back to bite us, but he's off the streets."
"Criminal Minds" season 13 airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EDT on CBS.
