Crime episodes where no one dies

As it happens, there are two episodes of “Criminal Minds” where no one dies, and new life is added to the cast in the form of two infants. Redditor u / mccabebabe mentioned episode 11 “A Beautiful Disaster” (via IMDb). In this installment, Derek Morgan’s (Shemar Moore) pregnant wife, Savannah (Rochelle Aytes), is shot by Chazz Montolo (Lance Henriksen), who blames Morgan for his son’s death and has Morgan was kidnapped and tortured a few episodes earlier. The episode plays out as a tense confrontation between Morgan and Chazz – completing the game of Russian Roulette – while Savannah’s life is on the brink. In the end, she survives and gives birth to the couple’s son, leaving a positive mark on the episode.

Reddit user u / IisforIda also pointed out that episode 15 “Saturday” (via IMDb) did not die. The episode sees half of the team get a day off while the other half work on a stalking case. Much of the episode deals with the individual character developments, including the birth of Matt’s (Daniel Henney) newborn baby.
