The twelfth season of the renowned American crime procedural drama series Criminal Minds brings to the table the emotionally heart-wrenching episode no. 15 titled Alpha Male. With an intriguing plotline that will keep you on the edge of your seat, the episode follows BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) as they jump onto a case involving a serial killer who is targeting successful businessmen in Detroit, Michigan.

The episode starts with a businessman named Eric Rawdon found murdered in his office building. BAU is called in to investigate the case, and upon their arrival, they find some intriguing evidence that points towards a possible pattern in the killer's selection of victims. The team soon discovers that the killer is specifically targeting alpha males, successful businessmen who have a reputation for being ruthless in their professions.

As the case progresses, the team, along with the local police department, unearth a lead that takes them to a networking event at a prominent hotel in the city. Morgan and Reid, the BAU members, go undercover to infiltrate the party, hoping to get the eye of the killer. Their efforts pay off as they manage to get an audience with a man named Mitchell Crossford, a prominent businessman who seems to fit the profile of the victims.

Mitchell, however, seems to have no idea about who the killer is or why he is being targeted. He even admits to having received threatening messages from the killer, but he never took them too seriously. With Mitchell's consent, the team places him under surveillance, hoping that the killer will make his move.

With tensions running high, the killer makes his move, launching a series of brutal attacks on Mitchell's business associates. With one victim dead and the other in the hospital, the BAU team struggles to piece together the killer's motive and identity. As they investigate further, they discover that the killer may have had a personal motive for targeting these particular alpha males, especially Mitchell. They soon identify the killer as a former business partner of Mitchell, and someone who was pushed out of the firm following a dispute.

In a thrilling conclusion to the episode, the team manages to track down the killer and his accomplice, leading to a dramatic confrontation. The episode ends with the killer being taken into custody and the team feeling a sense of relief that justice has been served.
