CM5: Risky Business

sawylMontage of two sets of photos and trophies over a melancholy soundtrack, two separate, slightly nervy teens getting ready for bed. I initially assumed they were headed for the same bed until I noticed the two different doors. Suddenly two sets of parents arrive and freak and there are two dead bodies. JJ feels connected to the case: the necklace, the sell she gives to Hotch and the way she notices that usual details of suicide are missing. Oh Jaje. Someone close to you killed themselves didn't they? Garcia is along for ride because she understands teh interweb generation. All the kids were joiners. Foreshadowing much? Nice pause during the brief when JJ comes out with the signs; they all suspect what she's carrying and give her time to confess but she keeps her peace.
Parents blame themselves for her death, JJ says the wrong thing — Hotch's tiny little look is a close to a grimace as he gets — and the parents totally seize on the slip. In the girl's bedroom, JJ is framed with the parents while Hotch and Prentiss nose around. "I just hope we haven't made it worse for them" "Why would you say that?" JJ looks pole-axed. Reid is clued up on the choking game. The web site appears to be run by Stephen Hawking. Oooh, left over graphics from The Matrix. Someone on the production team seems to be a fan of chatroulette. The contest explains why the victims are good kids, joiners, jocks and cheerleaders. It looks like JJ was right — they didn't intend to kill themselves.
Nerdy Reid is nerdy, but when the a kid calls him on it, he becomes crusading Reid. Goth boy has nasty strangulation bruises. "Actually, I'm not that sort of doctor..." No kidding Spence. Morgan and Reid provide a textbook demonstration of how not to run an interview. "I look like a cop to you?" Not so much an interrogation as two nerds sharing their pain; it's a great piece of acting. Goth boy does not talk the talk, not even Garcia's strange TV dialect of hacker talk. "Christopher's ER eval shows his bruises were caused by manual and ligature..." But you can't strangle yourself... "It's virtually impossibly to pull off making yourself appear old and more educated than you actually are" Morgan is obviously well acquainted with salesdroids.
The funeral chapel has wifi? CoTW is ecstatic at the win but she too realises that JJ's somehow got herself in an emotional tangle over it. Reid is literal boy when confronted with the puzzle, but I can't criticise because I don't get it either. JJ finally unburdens to Hotch and suddenly her behaviour snaps into focus: her problems committing to Will, her self-contained nature, her behaviour in North Mammon, everything. She also gets a CS Lewis quote for the close: "Experience is a brutal teacher. But you learn, my God do you learn."
