The seventh season of the critically acclaimed crime drama series, Criminal Minds, continues with episode 14 titled Closing Time. The episode follows the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) as they investigate a series of murders that have been taking place in various bars and clubs in Austin, Texas. The team has to work against the clock to find the perpetrator before they strike again.
The episode begins with the BAU analyzing the latest killing, which took place at a bar. The victim, a young woman, was found dead in the bathroom. The team quickly identifies a pattern in the murders – they all take place at bars and clubs, and the victims are all women who are on their own.
The team heads to Austin to investigate the murders and to try to get a better understanding of the unsub's behavioral patterns. They discover that the killer, who they nickname the "Lonely Hearts Killer," is specifically targeting women who are alone at bars and clubs. The BAU starts to investigate in local bars and nightclubs in hopes of finding the killer.
As the BAU continues their investigation, they meet a bartender who may have seen something on the night of the victim's murder. They also discover that the killer is using various techniques to lure his victims into going home with him. The team's ultimate goal is to track down the killer before he gets his next victim.
The team works well together, with each member bringing their unique set of skills to the table. Rossi manages to decipher a clue that the killer left at one of the crime scenes, while Garcia discovers a possible suspect who recently moved to Austin. However, catching the suspect proves to be a difficult task, as the suspect is always one step ahead.
The episode is full of suspense and action, and the audience is kept on the edge of their seats as the team races against the clock to catch the killer before he claims another victim.
Closing Time also delves into the personal lives of the BAU members. JJ struggles with the pressures of her job and the effect it has on her family. Meanwhile, Reid tries to deal with the fact that he is becoming more disconnected from his friends and family. The episode also features some poignant moments between Rossi and Garcia, as they discuss their personal lives.
As the BAU gets closer to catching the killer, they discover that the suspect may be hiding in plain sight. With the killer's motive still unknown, the team faces a daunting task in trying to track him down. However, the team remains focused and determined, using all their expertise to bring the killer to justice.
