Flashback to the Prince of Darkness and Morgan's promise to Spicer to look after Ellie. I'm sure there's a reason for laying this on with a trowel. MTV video UNSUB. Disorganised but a snappy dresser. "No sexual abuse on any of the children. That's odd" I'm so glad I'm not David Rossi. Again with piquerism. Definitely the word of the week. Surprise visit from Ellie: so much for much for flight security. And so much for foster care. Garcia FTW. I love Morgan's look of total cluelessness: he really doens't know what he's going to do. Gandhi channelling Donne for the opening quote. Rossi spots the clue: the families invited the UNSUB in. The Fox! And a religious angle. "He uses the children as bait!" Nasty. Tacos and tofu — the UNSUB's a vegan!?! And definitely an insider. "This guy hates his mother?" Bingo, Dr Freud.

"We have a disorganised killer on a spree who appears perfectly stable" Yikes. "And people trust him on sight" Double yikes. Cue a priest in a pickup. But does he wear converse? Evidently not! Serious change in victimology. "If I get herpes, it's your fault!" A budding psychopath and conman. The kid playing Jeremy is great — he oversells his pitch ever so slightly perfectly. Who knew Des Moines was so lively? Jeremy's and Ellie's cases mirror one another: let's hope Garcia gets her transferred. How not to draft a Safe Haven Law. Nice trick with the answerphone. And nice follow-up with Reid and Rossi. Triple yikes.

And the kids are alright! "He said it was a game" I like Nancy. She's smart, autonomous, and she keeps trying to reassure Jeremy, to tell him he isn't a bad kid. "Niko Bellic is the name of the main character in Grand Theft Auto 4... What? I know things!" Rossi is a gamer! "I could climb in to her room some night, when you're sleeping..." "Or you could just ring the doorbell and come over for dinner" Again Nancy tries to persuade Jeremy that he's not so bad. Morgan sets Garcia off in search of Ellie's mom. Ouch. Penny comes through with an address.

Thank goodness for call waiting. Jeremy's sounds like a gem: I wonder what the rest of his homicidal triad looks like? "Say what I heard you telling Father Quincy!" "The doctors say that one twin ate the other" Oh purleze. "You can't shoot a kid" "I can shoot a killer and I do believe that" Morgan is hardcore. I like the quick switch from the whiny kid calling for his mom to straight psycho — "Whatever. I'm thirteen. I'll she her in five years anyway" Nancy's going to life and Garcia has found Ellie's mom: win, a very palpable win. Just time for Robert Frost's On Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening for the closing quote and we're done.
