My newest brain worm is one of my favorite endings in Criminal Minds history and I CAN'T FIND IT anywhere. This is an episode that has Gideon in it and JJ is not yet in the field, so it is one of the older episodes. They are in a small town and there is a serial killing being investigated - I know, I know, more details needed.
The episode involves a male - female partnership, I think, in which one of the fatalities was the wife of a sheriff's deputy. I don't remember much else, but the ending was epic. The suspects are barracaded in a white farm house with local law enforcement surrounding the building. However, rather than the stock ending of the BAU working to talk down the suspects, the ending is quite different.
One oif the suspects fires out into the crowd of officers. The last scene of the episode is a company front of the BAU agents walking away with a barrage of bullets sounding in the background as the town's police force obliterates the farm house. VERY cathartic and an amazingly dark ending, especially for earlier in the season.
Does anyone remember this episode? I can't find it!
