S2·E18 Jones

Episode recap

In this episode of Criminal Minds, the team investigates a case involving a serial killer believed to be copying Jack the Ripper. The case takes place in New Orleans, where three victims have been found with their throats cut. The discovery of a fourth victim in the French Quarter confirms that the murderer is still alive.

The team's only clue is a word written on the wall by the lead detective, who drowned in Hurricane Katrina. All evidence and files related to the case were lost in the flood. The team must rely on the detective's note, which reads "Jones," to guide their investigation.

Meanwhile, Reid deals with the aftermath of being held hostage. He meets up with an old rival, but no further details about this encounter are provided. The focus of the episode remains on the team's efforts to catch the serial killer in New Orleans.
