Is Criminal Minds Gearing Up To Make JJ and Reid Endgame After All? (2024)
Fans want Dr. Spencer Reid back, but not for the Jeid romance arc.
With more and more attention being paid to JJ and her personal life, Evolution is clearly hinting that something will happen to her or her family either in the Season 1 finale or in the next few seasons. So far, JJ's relationship with her husband Will has felt like the only healthy, happy relationship on the show. With one small exception.
In the Season 14 twist that shocked many viewers, JJ told Spencer Reid that she had always loved him. Since she'd been married to Will since Season 7 and already had two sons with him, this confession came as something completely out of character and surprising.
To be fair, JJ was held at gunpoint by a truth-obsessed unsub. He wanted JJ to reveal some deep, dark secret that no one knew about, so she did just that. And that became the moment the fandom split.
Some fans, especially those who had been shipping JJ and Reid aka Jeid since Season 1, were thrilled to learn that the two beloved characters still had a chance to find happiness together.
Others, however, were horrified by the idea. Reid was the godfather of JJ's son, for God's sake. The final season of the original series proved that Jeid was not to be, to the relief of many fans who were in a hurry to put JJ's confession out of their minds.
Now that Evolution has been renewed for another season, and every single fan is hoping that it will bring Reid back, fans are starting to wonder if Season 1 is focusing so much on JJ's family in order to revive her love story with Reid in the seasons to come. And the majority seems to hate the idea.
"I will riot if they make JJ and Reid endgame," one of the fans wrote on Reddit to the approval of the commenters. "As much as I would love Matthew Grey Gubler to return I don't want him and JJ to be a couple if he does."
Whether Will lies about his diagnosis, he and JJ break up, or he is attacked by Elias Voit, it is clear that their storyline is going somewhere dark. Fans just hope it's not too heartbreaking. And it won't involve Reid at some point.
Early in Season 1, it was clear Reid had feelings for JJ and was encouraged to take her out on a date to a football game. Not much was said about the date, but it was clear the relationship was going to remain platonic. For the most part, that went smoothly. Reid was even named the godfather of JJ's first son, Henry.
With the series finale on CBS, Reid's story didn't exactly come to a satisfying end. In the final season, he has started a romantic relationship with Maxine Brenner (Rachael Leigh Cook), and the two continue in their romance after Cat Adams (Aubrey Plaza) attempts to break them up.
In terms of the narrative, however, Reid's absence could be because of JJ and their failed romantic plot. It's no secret that the BAU's boy genius also harbored secret feelings for her, but never made a move, since his coworkers was married and has kids.
Reid, was considered the group's genius on the show Criminal Minds. While he's never actually confirmed to be on the autism spectrum on the show, Matthew Gray Gubler has self-diagnosed the character with autism and other neurodivergences.
But in the episodes "Closing Time", "A Family Affair", and "Run", it is shown that he has moved on and is currently in a romantic relationship with Beth Clemmons (Bellamy Young). It is known that "Hotch" is rarely seen smiling throughout the show, except for when he is with his family.
The Kansas City Chiefs head coach is the father of five children, all of whom he welcomed with wife Tammy Reid. They share sons Garrett, Britt and Spencer Reid and daughters Drew Ann and Crosby Reid. The couple's first child was born when Andy was finishing his master's degree in Utah.
Dr. Lilliana Hotchner (neé Reid), nicknamed and often called "Lily", is a Supervisory Special Agent with the BAU. She is married to Aaron Hotchner, her Unit Chief, with whom she has a daughter with named Hope. Lily is also the fraternal twin sister of Spencer Reid.
Ultimately, Criminal Minds: Evolution ended Garcia and Tyler's affair which revealed Vangsness, as discussed by Messer to EW. Read her full quote below: You will get to see more of Tyler at some point in the season.
Here's what we know about JJ's romantic life: She meets her husband to-be, Detective William LaMontagne Jr., in season two, and dates him in secret for a while. Then she gets pregnant in season three, and he proposes; their son, Henry, is born in season four, and JJ names Reid his godfather (!).
One that was nearly as dramatic, however, was the departure and later return of A.J. Cook's Jennifer Jareau, better known as JJ. As part of a mid-series shuffle based partially on budgetary constraints, Cook's character was written off the show despite her seniority and through no fault of her own.
The real-life reason for Reid's absence on Criminal Minds: Evolution stems from scheduling conflicts. Initially, it was believed that it was the actor's decision to skip the revival altogether after starring in and occasionally directing episodes of Criminal Minds for 15 years.
Witness the electrifying chemistry between Spencer Reid and JJ as they share a passionate kiss. Explore the emotional depth of their relationship in this unforgettable scene.
For now, though, we can all bask in the joy of seeing JJ and Kiara come together in the end, and worry about their future in this series at a later time. Outer Banks is available to stream on Netflix.
Will LaMontagne was first introduced way back in Season 2 and has been a recurring character ever since. We've watched as his romantic relationship with JJ has grown, and eventually blossomed into a family, but despite this, his appearances have been sporadic.
In “Truth or Dare,” while being held at gunpoint and with lives on the line, JJ told Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), “I've always loved you. I was just too scared to say it before.” Unfortunately, things had just become too complicated for the two.
