Basically, a need-motivated killer operates within their own comfort zone, whereas an organized killer with some other motivation will strike outside of his comfort zone/where he lives.

And then Hotch stone cold goes- “Charcoal grey. You match them to the color of your suit to appear taller. You also wear lifts and you’ve had the soles of your shoes replaced.

Now Kerri is home. But on her porch is some flowers and a card - in the card is a bunch of letters and the photograph of a tricep/bicep.

We open in Miami Florida to some sexy dancing. We see a sensual MILF approach a bartender. She hands him money, and we can see that she’s wearing a wedding ring.

And this middle aged man steps out of the truck, he has a cigarette. He says “you wake me again tonight, it’ll be a chainsaw for you”. He says this to a tree. To a creaking tree.

We cut to a woman in a house talking to her toddler son Jakey. Music is playing it’s “Road to Shambala” The lyrics are: “ah ooh ooh ooooooh yeah yeah yeah yeah”.

Apparently, the house is completely empty - and Rossi fucking OWNS THE HOUSE. He bought it at an auction two weeks after the murder.

At first they’re like “dude, this is wrong”. They then find pictures of bodies and drawings of torture machine and then they’re like “dude, we gotta call the cops.”

Garcia found a blog - vlog - and she is talking about Lindsey and her dad. She calls Lindsey’s dad a “creep”. They moved there 6 years ago, and her mom died in a car accident.

The unsub turns on honky-tonk music and tells Julie to show Molly what to do. Julie then looks at Molly, starts crying, starts dancing and says “It’s a party”. 

Throughout the episode, we’re pulled between dreams, flashbacks, and the present, so the timeline feels super chaotic, which is entirely fitting for this episode once everything comes together.

The EMTs are trying to talk to her, and one Lady EMT is like: “What’s your name?” And the neighbor is like “Her name is Penelope” and Lady EMT is like “MA’AM step back!”

Cut and we see Garcia picking up coffee. A guy in the shop catches her eye - he is having trouble with a laptop. She offers to help him. There is tension.

Taupe wallpaper- a negative color. Cold, distant. Prentis says: “You know emotionally, taupe is linked to loneliness and the desire to escape from the world.”

The footage shows Katie exiting the arcade and heading north through the crowd. Hotch says, dramatically: “Seven seconds. That’s all it takes for a child to disappear.”

The mother is on the phone with presumably a friend, and right as she says: “I have my whole life ahead of me, right?” the phone cuts out. 

We open with the sound of faint thumping – never a good sign. There is a girl locked in a chest in a man’s office.

Morgan thinks about what Hotch said regarding school hours - so he proposes that maybe the unsub is using his son to snatch the victims. 

You must be frightened. I apologize for that. I never meant to cause you any pain. And I also never envisioned writing this letter. I’ve searched for a satisfactory explanation of what I’m doing.
