The 300th episode of Criminal Minds was an intense and suspenseful one. Benjamin Merva's abduction of Reid and Garcia left the rest of the team in a race against time to save them. Thankfully, the team found surprising clues in their own history that helped them to solve the mystery and save their teammates. This episode was filled with plenty of callbacks to previous cases and episodes of Criminal Minds. JJ and Reid's dynamic was especially highlighted, demonstrating the strength of their relationship despite any bumps in the road.

However, the episode was not without its criticisms. Many viewers felt that the writers were too hard on Reid, subjecting him to yet another episode of torture and drama. JJ's heartbreaking scene in the bathroom and her promise to protect Reid at any cost were especially touching, but viewers were left wishing for a happier ending for Reid, who has been alone since Mauve. Fans of the show also wished that some of the loose ends from previous cases were wrapped up, such as the family who abducted young girls in search of a wife for their son. As the show comes to an end, viewers hope that the writers will deliver a fitting and satisfying conclusion.

The episode was rated 7,86 from 1171 votes.
