Last week, Two and a Half Men's Jane Lynch returned on Criminal Minds as Dr. Reid's mother, Diana, in an episode that saw the conclusion of Dr. Reid's own investigation into the murder of a young boy that he strongly believed had a connection to his own childhood.  This week, viewers are in for a treat as the police drama enlists not one but three guest stars in the episode called “Masterpiece,” which was written by executive producer Edward Allen Bernero.

Read on for a preview of tonight's installment.
Warning: May contain spoilers!!!


In the eighth episode of Criminal Minds, the BAU team will face its greatest challenge yet.  After a self-confessed serial killer turns himself in, the team must solve the case on reverse as they embark on a massive manhunt to find the killer's latest victim's before it's too late.

As reported several months ago, Jason Alexander will be guest starring on Criminal Minds as a Prof. Rothschild, a role unlike his George Costanza character on Seinfeld.

“It's a really crazy role,” show executive producer Ed Bernero said at the time.  “He's going to come in and turn himself in, but we have no idea who his victims are.  So we have to reverse profile.”

Besides the debut of the Seinfeld actor, this episode also marks the return of Nicholas Brendon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), who will reprise his role as Kevin Lynch.  He first appeared on the show in the episode “Penelope” and recurrently surfaced in “Damaged,” and “In Heat.”

Last but not the least, Ali Landry will also be appearing as the character Kaylee Robinson. The 35-year-old actress is credited for her roles on Eve as Rita Lefleur and as the host of Spy TV.

Don't forget to catch tonight's episode of Criminal Minds at 9pm ET/PT on CBS.
