The latest episode of Criminal Minds left us with a cliffhanger with regard to Derek (Shemar Moore) and Kirsten Vangsness, who has written the next episode, has dished about how things might pan out going forward.

Vangsness, who also plays Penelope Garcia in the series, has plotted the resolution, entitled 'A Beautiful Disaster,' to the cliffhanger episode.

In an interview with TVLine, the actress talked about writing the rather ambitious episode, as it deals with a lot.

"Possibly, yeah - no big deal! It was really fun, like a trifecta for our little family here, because [Episode] 16 was all about Derek and that was directed by Thomas [Gibson], and the next one was directed by Joe [Mantegna], and this one had Matthew [Gray Gubler] directing it and Erica [Messer], who is our showrunner, and I co-writing it. I wrote Acts I and IV, she wrote Acts III and II, and then we swapped and would give each other notes," she said.

Vangsness also spoke about Matthew Gray Gubler's, who plays Dr. Reid, direction on the episode.

"Yes, he is, and no, it's definitely got the Gubler spin on it. It's definitely got it with our bad guy, played by Lance Henriksen (Millennium), whom I love him so much," she said. "We knew we wanted him and he was so great. Then Matthew was like, "What about glaucoma?" All of us were like, "Sorry, what?" He said, "I want to get a contact for his eye so he looks really extra creepy." It is low on gore, heavy on creep."

Finally, Garcia, dishes about the big question everybody is looking to get answered.

"They do, but…. On our best day, I would like to think it’s like a Scooby-Doo episode," she said. "There’s always that piece of information that nobody knew until the very end. It takes a piece of a thing and builds it out, definitely."

'A Beautiful Disaster' will air on March 23 on CBS.
