In a recent interview showrunner Erica Messer spoke about what fans can expect from the finale of season 10 of Criminal Minds.

"People Are Going To Lose Their Minds" With Episode 21 Of Criminal Minds 

Speaking to Zap2it, Messer revealed that while the finale wouldn't be a double whammy like in the last season, but that the episode preceding it will drop the suspense to be resolved in the final act.

"We're not doing a two-hour finale this year, but the end of episode 22 will have a cliffhanger that will play out in episode 23, which is our finale this year," she said.

The most interesting bit of information was that the finale will actually tie in with the premiere on the show, by bringing back the criminal from the first episode.

"We will bring back the creepy, Internet stalker guy from the premiere. That story will be tied together," Messer said.

Also, fans can be assured of the fact that there would be "no major deaths" in the concluding bit.

The finale will also be pretty intense for Kate Callahan (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Messer revealed. "It will be a very heavy episode for Kate," she said.

In the latest episode of Criminal Minds, Hotch (Thomas Gibson) dealt with some of his personal mess, confronting his father-in-law, Roy, played by Ed Asner, about his wife's death.

The next episode will air on April 22 on CBS.
