Trust No One

Actress Aimee Garcia advises viewers to be wary of everyone in Season 3. This caution extends to her character, Dr. Julia Ochoa, who has recently joined the cast of the Paramount+ series.

When asked about Julia’s trustworthiness by Garcia, she responded that the show “Criminal Minds” often flips expectations and turns things on their heads. The characters we initially like may eventually become disliked, while those we dislike might endear themselves to us over time.

Garcia cautiously stated, “I can neither confirm nor deny anything, but let me warn you – be wary of everyone. Is she truly the benevolent doctor? Could she harbor hidden agendas towards Lucas Voit? I can’t say for certain. However, given a series like Criminal Minds, nothing is off-limits… So, I suppose we’ll simply have to stay tuned and find out.

In 2024, Garcia joined the team as Dr. Ochoa, who was well-known for her expertise in neuropsychiatry. She had gained recognition earlier for aiding a high-profile patient in recovering from a traumatic brain injury. This caught the attention of the BAU, leading to her eventual inclusion in their current investigation. Despite being highly proficient and competent, Dr. Ochoa finds herself at odds with Luke Alvarez, an agent within the BAU portrayed by Adam Rodriguez, due to his confrontational methods that clash with her more subtle approach.

Criminal Minds: Evolution Has Already Shocked Fans With Season 3 Death

It’s not surprising that Criminal Minds: Evolution might introduce unexpected character growth, given its history of significant changes. For instance, Will, a beloved character since Season 2 of Criminal Minds in 2007, has seen an increasing role throughout the series.

In a deeply emotional Season 7 installment, character Jennifer “JJ” Jareau (played by A.J. Cook) tied the knot with her partner Will. Tragically, Will met his end in the third season, or Season 18 as it’s alternatively known, in an episode titled Evolution. For many years, Paget Brewster, a mainstay on Criminal Minds, found it challenging to film that particular episode, as they were bidding farewell not only to Will but also to the talented actor Josh Stewart who portrayed him.

Criminal Minds: Evolution is now streaming on Paramount+.
