'Criminal Minds' Season 15 Episode 6: Spencer Reid finally gets the girl and fans are thrilled to see it happen

After 15 seasons of writing Spencer Reid's character as the lonely, never lucky-in-love man, 'Criminal Minds' has finally given him a chance at a happy ending

It's finally happened and fans are losing their minds over it. After 15 seasons of writing Spencer Reid's character as the lonely, never lucky-in-love man, 'Criminal Minds' has finally given him a chance at a happy ending. 

This week saw Reid and his love interest Maxine finally take their relationship to the next level after they shared a passionate kiss in the elevator after catching serial killer and hitwoman Cat Adams. Max actually helps the BAU trap and catch Cat, Reid's arch-nemesis and the most dangerous killer the BAU has ever caught. For someone with no experience in the field, Max manages to take control of the situation as Agent Emily Prentiss fed information into her ear to gain Cat's trust. 

"#CriminalMinds I am so thrilled that Reid is getting a sassy, cute, special love of his own!" one fan tweeted, ecstatic for the couple. Another said agreeing, "YEEEEESS SPENCER REID FOR THE ROMANTIC VICTORY!!! Finally, Spencer Reid gets the girl and the kiss!! #CriminalMinds." Another fan said, "Seeing Spencer infatuated about a girl breathes life back into me. #CriminalMinds"

It was quite ironic too, that Max, a woman, was the person who led to Cat's downfall. We know that Cat was a hitwoman whose specialty was to kill men who would hire her to kill their wives. "I swear if Spencer and Max break up because of Cat im gonna be pissed. #CriminalMinds," said one fan, foreshadowing.

We know that it will be next to impossible for Max to ignore everything that happened with Cat and Reid, especially since her family was directly in harm's way. Moreover, she saw a very different side to Reid - perhaps a bit too much? "I really hope Max and Spencer’s relationship is okay after this!!," tweeted one fan. 

  We'll have to wait and watch to see how that goes down. There are still three episodes left before we are hit with the series finale. 

'Criminal Minds' airs every Wednesday at 9-10 pm, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.
