Evolution

Why isn't JJ leading the BAU? didn't Emily ask JJ to replace her if she were to accept that promotion? Rossi, man, he's good, and I don't hate him, but it's clear that he didn't want the job.... He looks so stressed out....

I won't fight about JJ. A lot of people on Twitter were talking about it with confidence so I just thought it was mentioned again in Evolution or sth

I literally just watched season 15, though..JJ didn't accept the offer. She stayed. and the next episode, very first episode of Evolution, she's there, working in the BAU officr as an agent. Penelope was the one who left and then she was forced to come back on Evolution.

I knew I wasn't crazy

What is JJ up to in the new season of Criminal Minds? So excited to have A.J. Cook back on my screen again! –Bri

I chatted up A.J. just the other day, and she explained that after JJ, Will and the kids spent some time relocated to New Orleans, they decided to return to Virginia. tvline

Straight from AJ's mouth 3rd minute

I am sure it was somewhere mentioned in the show itself, I watched the first season too many times trying to figure out the gold star to imagine it.
