In the Wednesday, Oct. 25 episode of Criminal Minds, titled “Lucky Strikes,” Jamie Kennedy reprises his role as Floyd Feylinn Ferell, the cannibalistic serial killer he first played in Season 3’s “Lucky.” As showrunner Erica Messer reminded TVLine, “At the end of that case, back in Season 3, is when Garcia got shot, so she’s going to deal with a little reminder of that time in her life — and may or may not get a little pep talk from Morgan.”
Now that the deal is done, Garcia very much may. Meaning, she will.
