About this episode

The episode discusses Alvez's loss and critiques true crime podcasts while exploring a dark storyline in Criminal Minds.

Alvez loses a loved one--who could it possibly be???--and Criminal Minds takes aim at those who really deserve a talking to: true crime podcasts, and podcasting in general. "Cluster" also features an unsub who's lobotomizing folks, and the BAU can't have that. That's not good for business, and it's especially important because these victims are related to The Troops, who must never be besmirched.
