It was one of those cases that sticks with a person, and senior profiler David Rossi (Joe Mantagna) was no exception. Twenty years later, and he is still haunted.
SSA Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) finds Rossi’s office in total disarray. She and fellow agents Jareau and Morgan (AJ Cook and Shemar Moore) fly to Indianapolis, hot on Rossi’s trail.
With there help, Rossi arrests Joey (Matthew J. Cates) and his father (Dennis Christopher). Joey—a mentally challenged young man—had followed the family home from the carnival that day. He’d wanted to play with the kids, and things went horribly wrong.
Meanwhile, team leader Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) and boy wonder Dr. Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) were in a Connecticut prison interrogating Chester Hardwick (Michael Shamus Wiles). But the vicious killer had an alternate plan in mind for them—by killing two FBI agents his upcoming execution would be delayed.
Hotchner delivered an excellent reply to the man’s threats. “But unfortunately for you, I’m not a five foot tall, hundred pound girl.”
It was one of the best lines in the episode. Hotchner loses his temper and the darkness begins to emerge. He was going to show Hardwick why his plan wouldn’t work—the hard way.
Reid once more proves he’s got some meddle by distracting both Hardwick and Hotchner with a long and convoluted theory as to why Hardwick had become the monster he was, ending with “You never had a chance.”
Mantegna, Vangsness and Gibson more than show their acting skills. Comedic romance, emotional determination, and internal struggles make this episode one definitely worth watching.
And as the last clip focuses on Aaron Hotchner signing the papers to officially end his marriage, the camera zooms out and we are left wondering just how damaged the agents of the BAU are. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-1 of 1 Per Page |
