In the upcoming episode of "Criminal Minds," Spencer Reid (played by Mathew Gray Gubler) attempts to take down a group of hitmen called the Dirty Dozen while playing a game with his blind date named Cat Adams (played by Aubrey Plaza).

The official synopsis for the episode is stated below: (taken from CBS)

"Dr. Reid's dining companion turns sinister when she pulls out a gun before the main course."

"Plaza's character admits that she knows all about Reid and his work at the BAU-skills that are truly put to the test as our favorite doctor must try to save himself and a restaurant full of unsuspecting victims."

According to Design & Trend, the "major breakthrough" that Aaron Hotch (played by Thomas Gibson) found out about the Dirty Dozen case might also be revealed in the midseason premiere. The breakthrough might also be used in taking the hitmen down. However, in order to do so, he must play the game set by his date or else the restaurant including the entire block might be blown off to pieces.

Episode 11 will not only showcase how Reid will take down the hitmen, please his date and successfully save dozens of people who are blissfully unaware of what is happening. All of these might unfold during the highly anticipated "Criminal Minds" season 11, episode 11 will air on Jan. 13, Wednesday at 9 PM ET on CBS.

In an interview with TV Line, "Parks and Recreations" star Aubrey Plaza talks about how "hard" and "challenging" it is to play her role in the upcoming Criminal Minds episode.

"When you're playing someone that's a murderer you have to justify [their actions]. You have to dig deep and go to a dark place," she said when asked what was challenging about her role.

The interview also revealed how Plaza got the part as she and Gubler are friends have worked before at the set of the 2014 movie "Life After Beth."

Gubler apparently let her read the script and when she found out that her would-be role is a psychopath she took it because it would be "fun for her."

"There aren't many opportunities for me to play a psychopath that has planted a bomb in a restaurant and who's holding a gun under a table trying to kill an FBI agent," she explained.
