BAU will try to find a connection between bullying and their latest case in the next episode of "Criminal Minds" season 12.

Based on the details mentioned in the synopsis for the episode titled "The Anti-Terrorism Squad" from The Futon Critic, the team will try to find out if the only remaining survivors from two different families who were both heartlessly murdered know something about the crime.

As seen on the trailer for the upcoming episode, the BAU will leave no stone unturned to find out the perpetrators of the crime. But it seems like the team will encounter a lot of deception before they find out the truth.

According to the episode synopsis that was revealed by The Futon Critic, "The BAU investigates if bullying may be the link between two high school students who are the sole survivors after both of their families are killed."

But while the next episode of "Criminal Minds" season 12 deals with bullying, it seems like the production of the show will also have to give in to the pressure from the fans to bring back Thomas Gibson in the series.

The actor was axed while filming the some of the first episodes of the series after he got involved in a physical altercation with one of the show's producers. But since his exit, loyal fans of the series turned to social media and threaten to boycott the show in order to support Gibson and ask the producers to bring him back to the series for the remaining episodes of the current season.

At the moment, the ratings of "Criminal Minds" season 12 continue to plummet. Will CBS give in to the pressure and reinstate Gibson's character Aaron Hotchner to save the show from possible cancellation after season 12?

The next episode of "Criminal Minds" season 12 will air on Wednesday, Nov. 2, on CBS.
