In Mandy Patinkin’s final episode of Criminal Minds, the future of the department is in jeopardy as the team faces one of their toughest cases yet.

In Milwaukee, a series of women have been found murdered. The BAU is assigned to the case, but they are short three members: Gideon (Patinkin), who is missing, Hotch (Thomas Gibson), who is on suspension and Prentiss (Paget Brewster), who resigns her commission to join the Foreign Service. Supervisor Strauss (Jayne Atkinson) steps in as lead, but she doesn't handle herself well in the field.
Meanwhile, another woman has been kidnapped, and judging by video footage from her last known location, she was lured by a child decoy. The team formulates a profile for the killer, and recognises that they should be looking for a child who stands out from the crowd.
