The actor, who left the series in 2020, came back to play his beloved character Dr. Spencer Reid in Season 18, Episode 3, which aired on May 21. During the episode, his character attended his friend and Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) co-worker, Jennifer "JJ" Jareau's (A.J. Cook) late husband, William LaMontagne, Jr.'s (Josh Stewart) funeral.
“It’s a joy to get to tell stories with people you love so I will always cherish any moment, big or small, that I get to hug my Criminal Minds family or slip back into my dear friend Spencer’s oversized wingtips,” said Gubler in the statement.
"They didn’t need a monologue. They didn’t need a bunch of dialogue. It’s all in looks. And when we were in the conception phase of this episode, Erica and I — it would feel like something major was missing if we didn’t have Spence, it just would. It would feel weird not having him there," said Cook to the publication.
“He was just like, ‘Are you kidding me? Of course I’ll be there,’ like a true friend does. You show up in those moments. And we were so lucky to get him back," said Cook during the interview. "And yes, it was a brief moment, but it was so impactful and it felt so great having him there, just kind of felt like a homecoming. And my kids love Matthew and Matthew’s like my third kid. It was pretty cute. Seeing him back on set with everybody, it was pretty special.”
In a February 2020 interview for Paramount+, Gubler jokingly shared what he learned during his 15 years of playing Spencer.
"Learning how to carrying a gun properly, learning how to comb my hair properly on the other side, learning how to run. Getting over my fear of flying. Getting over my fear of talking to Shemar Moore," quipped Gubler.
