A number of familiar faces will appear on the Season 14 premiere of Criminal Minds, the series’ 300th episode. The BAU is desperate to save Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) who have been abducted by Benjamin Merva (Michael Hogan). During their search, they come across Christian cult leader Benjamin Cyrus (Luke Perry), Dr. Lisa Douglas (Daniella Alonso), and receive the help of FBI Agent Grant Anderson. Over the years, Agent Anderson has helped the BAU in a total of nine episodes. The last one was in the 2015 episode “The Job.” See link below.
