Criminal Minds Exclusive: Does the Team Have to Battle Ebola?!

The BAU will have its hands full with bio terrorists this week on Criminal Minds.

J.J. (A.J. Cook) and Rossi (Joe Mantegna) have Ebola -- ew -- on the brain when they check in with the forensics crew scrubbing their crime scene for evidence. The first victims have a lot of symptoms in common with the deadly virus that makes you vomit and cough up blood.

Their contact on the scene seems a little too excited about the potential pathogens they are going to find in the house, easily listing off close to a dozen potential spores that were used to poison the victims, but it turns out to be none of them. She gets a call in the middle of debriefing J.J. and Rossi that says the lab shut down the Ebola theory.

While that's a relief, no one is in the clear. Turns out the unsub is using a non-contagious bio weapon to target his victims. That means there isn't a chance of a huge outbreak or need to quarantine an entire city until the perp is found, but it means that they are specifically targeting the victims with a deadly disease. That's not really a person you want to mess with, you know?

Criminal Minds airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on CBS.
