Criminal Minds delivered an emotional and unforgettable moment during its 15th and final season premiere on Wednesday. The two-hour premiere saw JJ (A.J. Cook) profess her love for Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) after he saved her life when she was shot in a parking garage.
Maeve Donovan was a recurring character who appeared as SSA Spencer Reid's girlfriend in Season Eight of Criminal Minds.
TV Guide spoke to showrunner Erica Messer about what the future looks like for Reid in a world where he isn't going to be dating JJ. Reid will soon be enjoying a normal day off and he'll meet someone new.
Erica Messer wants to set the record straight: JJ and Cruz are not having an affair on Criminal Minds. "I'll say it again: They did not and are not having an affair," the showrunner tells TVGuide.com.
Season Three
In "The Crossing", it is discovered that JJ is pregnant with their child. In the season finale "Lo-Fi" Will tells JJ that he is willing to give up his job in New Orleans to have the baby with her. He also asks her to marry him, which she considers but ends up declining.
While Reid accepted the fact that they would never be together, it must have still been difficult for him to continue working with JJ. So, as part of his therapy, he likely realized that the best way to move on was to physically distance himself from her, hence Reid leaving the BAU.
Thankfully for fans, Reid decided to stay among the living. An uplifting twist for the series finale. In the end, Reid and Garcia both got a happy ending. Past seasons of Criminal Minds are streaming on Netflix, along with lots of new 2020 content.
What season does JJ tell Reid she loves him?
In the finale of Criminal Minds season 14, an emotional episode that saw both a wedding and a hostage situation, JJ Jareau (played by A.J. Cook) told her longtime coworker, Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Grey Gubler) that she had loved him all along.
Before leaving, he presented Dr. Reid with his son's birth announcement. His baby boy's name, Hank Spencer Morgan, was named in honor of his late father and his best friend.
Dr. Savannah Hayes is the girlfriend (and eventual wife) of former SSA Derek Morgan and a recurring character on Criminal Minds.
In the wake of JJ's confession, it has now been confirmed by TVLine that Reid's new love interest will be played by Perception star Rachael Leigh Cook. Rachael is set to play Max, who manages to build up an unusual relationship with Reid. Her character will appear in at least two episodes of the final season.

Matthew Gray Gubler's Reid ran into Max while she was with her nephew. Though they had a series of awkward encounters right off the bat, he eventually won her over with his classic Reid charm.
After Season 5, J.J.'s character was written off, reportedly due to budget constraints. She made guest appearances for big moments on the show, including Emily Prentiss' (Paget Brewster) then-final episode. "It felt like a breakup with a guy," A.J. said to TV Guide about learning that she was fired.
In the episode titled “Spencer,” Reid is arrested in Mexico on charges for drugs as well as the murder of Rosa Medina, who ended up being a woman named Nadie Ramos.
Cut to the finale episode of season 14. While they are being held at gunpoint by an unknown subject (unsub), JJ makes a startling confession to Reid: "I've always loved you.
JJ finds out she's pregnant there and only shares the news with Cruz, who later has to break it to her that she lost the baby after their car came under attack while en route to a location. That's only half the story though. Their mission is compromised when JJ's informant is killed by a double agent.
Who replaces Strauss?
Mateo Cruz (Esai Morales; Seasons 9–10) takes over from the late Erin Strauss as the new BAU section chief in season 9. He has a past working relationship with JJ.

Why J.J. Left Criminal Minds. Despite being a rather foundational member of the BAU team, J.J. was written off of the series during most of Season 6. The in-fiction reason was her forced transfer to the Pentagon, a cover story hiding her real work on a task force in the Middle East.
The show has had its twists and turns, but one almost no one saw coming was beloved character Spencer Reid, played by Matthew Gray Gubler, ending up in prison for half of season 12.
Notes. Mekhai Andersen, the child actor who portrays Henry in "100" and onward, is actually the real-life son of A.J. Cook, the actress who plays JJ.
A. J. Cook announced her pregnancy, a fact that was carried over to her character Jennifer "JJ" Jareau as well. Showrunner Erica Messer stated in an interview that Cook's character JJ would not appear for the first five episodes of the season as Cook was on maternity leave.
Thankfully for fans, Reid decided to stay among the living. An uplifting twist for the series finale. In the end, Reid and Garcia both got a happy ending. Past seasons of Criminal Minds are streaming on Netflix, along with lots of new 2020 content.

Why did Garcia and Kevin break up?
When the team comes back from the case, he and Garcia, who has hacked into his computer and finds out that he has been looking for a ring, have a heart to heart talk about it during which Garcia tells Kevin that she is not ready to get married. Kevin tells her that he is and walks away, leaving her behind.
In “Truth or Dare,” while being held at gunpoint and with lives on the line, JJ told Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), “I've always loved you. I was just too scared to say it before.” Unfortunately, things had just become too complicated for the two. (After all, she is married with children — and Reid is their godfather.)
"200" is the fourteenth episode of the ninth season of the American police procedural crime drama television series Criminal Minds, and is the 200th episode overall, which aired on CBS on February 5, 2014. The episode was written by Rick Dunkle and directed by Larry Teng.
Cook's JJ was an integral part of Criminal Minds, but for exactly one season (minus a spare guest appearance — more on that later), the actress wasn't on the series and her character wasn't with the team.
In Season 8, Dr. Spencer Reid began a relationship with a woman named Maeve, whom he had never met in person because she lived in fear of a stalker. This star-crossed relationship came to an abrupt—and tragic—end when Maeve was kidnapped by a deranged ex-student of hers.
JJ declines his Season 3 proposal until several seasons later when he nearly dies, and then they get married. The only other romantic storyline for JJ is the one with her coworker, Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler).
While Reid accepted the fact that they would never be together, it must have still been difficult for him to continue working with JJ. So, as part of his therapy, he likely realized that the best way to move on was to physically distance himself from her, hence Reid leaving the BAU.
