'Criminal Minds' Plot Spoilers: Features Killer Who Uses Her Shoes As Weapon
A woman unsub (unknown subject) who attacks men with shoes when they challenge her "fairytale" delusions is at the center of this week's episode of "Criminal Minds." The crime drama series airs every Wednesday at 9/8c on CBS.
The episode, fittingly titled "If the Shoe Fits," will see the FBI team of profilers finding out that there's a new killer on the loose when they discover a man's body on a road with a mobile phone stuffed in this mouth. Subsequently, the unsub kills another man with the pointy end of a garden shear and jams another phone down his mouth.
When the team arrives at the site of the murders, they soon find out that the unsub has also attacked the victims with an object that caused strange puncture wounds on their necks.
The next murder reveals the killer to be a woman, and she is seen killing the victim with shears after he made fun of the "princess-inspired" décor in her room.
As for the profilers they get a break when they find out that the puncture wounds were caused by a high heeled shoe and that all the phones recovered from the victims had alarms set for midnight.
This leads Jennifer Jareau (played by A. J. Cook) to theorize that the unsub is a "Cinderella" inspired woman taking revenge against men who do not live up to her expectations.
However, after Jennifer has a talk with Spencer Reid (played by Mathew Gray Gubler), she realizes that the unsub is playing out her fears when she kills and is probably delusional. With a revised profile and after Gracia (Kirsten Vangsness) tracks down a dress to the store that the unsub works in, they identify her.
There they realize that the unsub Claire is out with the dry cleaning store owner's son. They rush to the graveyard after they track his mobile phone using GPS, and get there just in time to stop her from murdering him.
