As details about the upcoming finale of Criminal Minds season 9 surface, it seems like it will conclude with a cliffhanger and a major character in the show will go down.

Finale to be 'One of the More Twisted' Conclusions to a Criminal Minds Season? 

The preview which surfaced on the internet on April 30 shows the team locked in an encounter with armed opponents and this seems to be right outside the head offices of the BAU. As bullets fly some agents might get caught in the line of fire. The biggest give away is the tag line the promo runs with -- "Two agents will go down."

Judging by this bit of information we are pretty certain that at least one major character is set to take a hit. In fact the synopsis for the second part, Demons, of the two part finale suggests that the life of one of the Bau members "will hang in the balance."

Enstars speculated that this could be none other than Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness). The Christian Post also suggested that the season would wrap with a "cliff-hanger."

Here's the official synopsis for the first part of the finale, Angels:

"When the BAU is called to Texas to consult on the murders of prostitutes, evidence points to killings with religious overtones. But as they delve further into the investigation, the team could put their lives at risk, on part one of the two-part ninth season finale."

In the second part of the finale titled Demons, the BAU will be digging deeper into the ongoing murder investigation in Texas. While a lot of shicking revelations related to the case will surface, what might get fans more nervous is the fact that one BAU member's life will "hang in the balance."  

Angels will air on May 7 on CBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

The second part, Demons, will air on Wednesday, May 14 on CBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
