criminal minds (season 12)
simmons was introduced to "criminal minds" in the [[criminal minds (season 10|episode19) titled barbados in which the irt is called i. to help the bau with the death of a family overseas. he was brought in by [[penelope garcia]] to help the team after they were ambushed in the field and [[emily prentiss]] was kidnapped by notorious serial killer peter lewis ("mr. scratch"). when asked what he was doing at the bau headquarters, he vaguely mentioned that he was awaiting a new assignment as the irt had been dissolved as a result of events in the "criminal minds: beyond borders" episode "[[criminal minds: beyond borders (season 2)#ep22|blowback]]" – in which the irt was targeted by assistant director linda barnes, who herself would have the bau shut down temporarily – and is offered a position on the bau team by prentiss by the end of the episode. as he and jj are the only two members of the team who are married with children they often exchange jokes about the mishaps of parenting. in the episode "ex parte", simmons' wife kristy is caught up in a hostage situation at her workplace. the usually calm and collected simmons nearly strangles the hostage taker to death in a fit of rage but stops when kristy tells him "it's not you", prompting her husband to let go of the criminal and arrest him instead.
