Strange to have a arc where a team member is in serious trouble, but not fighting to stay alive . Curious as to how this story plays out .

No problem guys!

And yes it is, Matt. Most of our run ins with BAU members have been potentially/directly life threatening. Where as with Reid it's more career/emotionally life threatening.

Such a emotional ep . With all the Spencer drama going on , I feel the unsub story is secondary . Very emotional scene with Emily and Reid , I was tearing up.
With all that is going on somehow I feel Hotch would have gone to US AG to get Spencer out on bail. Why hasn't Emily or JJ tried another cognitive interview ..

I need my Spencer

Such a **** episode from an unsub perspective, uttter ****, it was unbearable.

#BringBackThomas
#BringBackShemar
#FireGarcia

Seriously, the most annoying character, I just can't stand her anymore. WHAT A PARODY OF THE EPISODE. Garcia in the field with high heels, oh my god... and trying some banter with Luke and Garcia... Well, I already told that Luke was basically Morgan, but its so annoying.. Don't get me wrong, like the character, but the interactions between him and Garcia ugh...


The parts with Spencer are good, but the rest... oh my god. **** **** ****.

Even though I feel the Reid story was the "second/B-plot" story, it was still technically the main one and the one I'm sure most fans were interested in the most. This is the one thing I worry about with this arc: with two separate stories going on in the episodes, can the writers focus properly on the actual case plots and make them good?

The episode was okay, but again, I was more interested in the Reid arc that I found myself not as focused on the actual case.

As for the case, I saw someone compare it to Roadkill and someone said they took quotes from Fatal Attraction. But dang! Hacking into cars! I'm glad I have an older car that doesn't have all that new tech stuff

Okay, I'm sorry, that flashback JJ had of Reid coming back at the end of Spencer was kind of cheesy to me.

I get needing to fill Diana in on what's going on since I'm sure she'd get worried if Reid doesn't come back, but was filling her in on everything the right move? Now when she does remember stuff, she feels bad and blames herself because Reid was getting medicine for her. I feel like they could have maybe left that part out and said there was a misunderstanding with something that happened and a series of unfortunate things happened and Reid is being blamed. I feel bad that Diana thinks it's her fault :/

Loved Rossi willing to pay bail

Reid duty? Not sure if it was the way Joe delivered it but it sounded weird and kind of insincere. Could have just said "Prentiss will be with Reid."

I laughed a little at Prentiss saying she felt weird being on the jet. Girl, you were gone for 5 years, it shouldn't be too unfamiliar

I liked the lawyer (Fiona). Also, I love how the team always has these important connections and just so happens to have them when they're conveniently needed

Prentiss keeps calling Reid "Spencer" and Rossi called JJ "Jennifer". Is everyone on a first name basis now?

Loved the scenes with Prentiss and Reid. I've always felt they had a good friendship/relationship (it probably helps that Paget and MGG are good friends). I felt this was some of Paget's better acting this season. To me, Paget has felt a bit off for most of the season, but she did good in this episode.

Ugh with the Garcia stuff. She looked so out of place in the field. And why did Luke wipe his hands off after helping her get down on the road

Garcia helping give the profile. Ugh, no. Just no. And Garcia going with Luke was also a "seriously?" moment. Though I did laugh a bit at "I cannot die in this car with you!" Also, when Garcia got out of the car and comforted the victim: it was nice, but at the same time, what if something else happened? I know Luke had the unsub, but I feel other police members or whatever should have totally cleared and checked everything before Garcia (a tech analyst) is allowed anywhere near there

Is Garcia still dating that Sam guy? She made a joke about signing up for the dating website but then said she didn't need to.

I feel like Tara sort of disappeared for most of the episode. I guess that's what happens when you have a trillion people on the team...

The court room scene was nice and sad. That judge was terrible!

Amazing acting by MGG! He's doing great so far with this arc. He does the emotional/angsty stuff well. The phone call with Reid's mom was really nice.


The Reid part of the story was good, the rest of it was just okay.
