"There's a question raised in the pilot episode of whether you can spend your time hunting monsters and not become a monster," executive producer Ed Bernero tells TVGuide.com. "We wanted to revisit that question 100 episodes later and see if the answer changed. Hotch [Thomas Gibson] does something that makes you wonder what's happened to everybody [since the start]."
Bernero promises two deaths by the end of Wednesday's episode....

As Criminal Minds' Derek Morgan, Shemar Moore has never backed down from a fight. Such is also the case in real life, as the actor helps to raise awareness and funding for MS by participating in this coming weekend's Bike MS: Southern California Ride 2008. Moore was led to put his pedals where his mouth by his mother, who 10 years ago was diagnosed with MS. "She was having a tough time, and I felt like my hands were tied because I wasn’t aware enough or couldn't trust what the doctors were telling us," he shares.

Besides raising money and awareness, Moore's participation put him in touch with a community of people offering answers and solid information.Having since secured proper treatment – and one hip replacement surgery later – Moore's mother is more ambulatory than he once dared to hope.

This week, there's a real buzz on the set and it has nothing to do with the upcoming episode or last week's ratings. This weekend members of our cast and crew are getting their Lance Armstrong on. Saturday is the 2007 Start to Finish MS Bike Tour. Twenty-three members of the Criminal Minds staff are getting up early and biking up the California coast to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. They've been looking forward to this for a long time.Last year 12 of our crew members pedaled, and this year the number has doubled. The 12 riders from last year did not take very much time off before getting back to training and are taking it very seriously. The newcomers all have a varied range of experience and ability but have been riding every weekend. Every Monday tales of training mishaps and misadventures make their way to set.However, the most important part of this ride has nothing to do with the performance of the cyclists. It's all to benefit NMSS. So in addition to those r...
