• beginning kinda reminds me of Foundation
• "someone's been a real bad boy" wtf?
• "make sure that guy doesn't go anywhere"... come again? he ain't law enforcement
• cute moment with Beth! continuity with Jack's soccer
• og she needs to talk to him about something. but delayed? nope. oh dear. bombshell news. awww cute moment between Jack and Beth. oh my Cade grew up lots.
• mysterious phone call for Hotch during the briefing. hmm.
• whole family taken; boy still missing the rest of the family is dead. so the importance of the son?
• oh another family is missing
• that daughter looks familiar. think i've seen her in something else.
• Braden the boy separated from the family
• Braden has Asperger's. Reid does a little factoid about the differences between Autism and Asperger's; Blake's line "what about you?" o___O are they really trying to say one way or the other? Reid doesn't supply an answer tho. =/
• Reid and Blake working together again. ref over Asperger's had gone over his head... "that's what I love about you"
• Yamada family... poc family victims. wow. unusual cuz of stats. son's bedroom was the point of entry.
• Acklins are the ones currently held.
• Morgan working with Rossi at Acklin's house
• guessing game for the son, with his family's lives at stake.
• Vanessa, Braden's tutor.... Mike has a secret involving her? unsub shot her cuz the unsub didn't like Mike's answer. like maybe an affair? will this be a point brought up later in the ep?
• I like the actress (Mackenzie)
• aggressive businessman running his camp
• Garcia couldn't track the IP
• grifter who told the highway workers about the bodies was picked up- body dump by his home turf
• grifter is too disorganized to have pulled it off- witnessed the dumping, saw the unsub's vehicle
• last two guesses shot of the unsub's jawline looked like Frank Breitkopf, even the intonation of his conversation with Braden sounded like the way Frank talked
• sons as surrogates for himself at the age when life events happened to shape him into the kind of man he is today
• wow we still haven't gotten the identity of the unsub; just seen parts of him, hear his voice, seen him "shopping" for the next victims
• Rossi and JJ paired up now. oh, Darren didn't show for work
• they found Vanessa
• smart Braden trying to pick the lock; but where are you gonna run to?
• she fought her captor; possibly raped cuz evidence of sex before being killed.
• message from Mike's brother, who knew about Mike sleeping with Vanessa
• trying to figure the timeline, Mike's brother may have been the last person to see Vanessa alive, therefore logical to think he's a suspect
• ahh, evidence corroborates Mike having the affair with Vanessa and they had slept together recently
• Darren? oh, Mackenzie's bf and junkie that got her hooked on pot, etc.
• Deborah borrowed 5Gs from a loan shark and didn't repay; yet another motive for the family to go down
• devil's choice: money or the life of a person (Mackenzie's boyfriend)
• John Yamada and Deb Acklin had problems with money management
• Reid familiar with architectural designs?
• oh. spy cam hidden in the potlight
• oops Braden. you tried.
• cams hidden all over the houses
• Garcia called Rossi. he called her Penelope! how sweet.
• so choice between money and someone's son comes back, but substitute someone else's boy (Darren) for her own (Braden). gee Deb, what do you think now? bet there's no satisfying the unsub tho
• the initials match between one of the contractor companies and one of the guys who found the body of the Yamada boy
• his property being 10acre ranch house is secluded enough to do all this with the privacy to avoid neighbours' attention
• the bargain for changing her mind is to kill themselves to save him
• Rykov's fantasy family couldn't be attained; only started doing this recently cuz he was finally able to afford his place to do this
• Deb shot herself; gun loaded with blanks
• Garcia wanted to show them that she doesn't want to take any of them for granted. Drinks for all! awww
• Hotch/Beth at the same cafe as before, that's sweet
• he's offering to take the train to NYC to see her! omg. and they're gonna work out how often they'll keep seeing each other. :')
