GIDEON AND HOTCHNER INVESTIGATE WHETHER OR NOT A CULT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF TWO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN A SMALL TOWN, ON A REBROADCAST OF "CRIMINAL MINDS," WEDNESDAY, AUG. 2

"The Popular Kids" -- Hotchner and his team investigate whether or not two high school students murdered in a small town may have been victims of a cult killing, on a rebroadcast of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Aug. 2 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Andy Wolk directed the episode written by Edward Allen Bernero, one of the series' executive producers. (Originally broadcast 11/30/05)

Based on the crime scene evidence, the FBI profilers begin to believe that it's possible that someone other than a cult member may be responsible for the teenagers' deaths. The whole town turns out to help with the investigation, not knowing that the profilers suspect the killer may be one of their own.
