JJ backstory in upcoming episode

From TV Guide Mega Buzz:

What can fans expect in J.J.'s upcoming backstory on Criminal Minds? Any idea when the episode will air? — Jackie

ADAM: The episode airs Jan. 20, and finds the BAU investigating a string of teen suicides in a small Wyoming town. The team believes the deaths are linked, and executive producer Ed Bernero says the case will have a surprising personal connection to J.J.'s childhood.

I automatically swore the team has done teen suicides before but I think I just confused The Popular Kids (season one) and A Higher Power (season three). =/

Anyway, my initial thought about the personal connection is that she may have lost an older sibling to suicide. Feel free to comment and/or speculate below!

I can't wait for this. Since she's my favorite, I'll take about anything without complaint. It's time those who got a well worked out storyline take a giant step back and let the others have some spotlight. Because despite some earlier allegation, there are people who care for JJ (and other characters who haven't got as much spotlight.) So I'm personally happy to see this coming up.

Thanks for posting. :)

I am hoping for more backstory on both JJ and Garcia.
And Rossi, even though a lot of people don't seem to be that fond of him, I actually like him more than Gideon, and he has grown on me a lot.

Despite Mandy's conduct, I loved Gideon and was sad to see him go. I absolutely disliked Rossi at first but he def grew on me too. And I really loved his character bits with JJ (and the others, for that matter).

And I'd love to see some more Garcia and JJ bonding. I always love to see them together, they are adorable.
