CM6: What Happens at Home

sawylScorpion as metaphor: walls and towers can't keep you safe, something can always climb them and poison you from within. A woman at home, writing, surrounded by family photos. A murderer in the mirror. Gated community. The UNSUB is part of the community. One where everyone's a Stepford. Assault course. Blond woman who definitely isn't JJ. Ashley Seaver. I hope I'm not supposed to recognise her from another episode, because I totally don't. She has history with Rossi. And a bad childhood. Make that extremely bad.
Madeleine L'Engle quote on vulnerability for the open. "You should know that security office is particularly efficient" "Except that someone is killing people under their noses" Rossi cuts to the heart. I like Garcia's flippant remark about her relationship with Morgan. Hotch/Rossi banter reminiscent of Hotch/Gideon banter. Has Prentiss always been an SSA? Reid sucked at the Academy: "What was my issue? Marksmanship. Physical training. Obstacle course. Hogan's Alley. Y'know, pretty much everything that wasn't technically book related. They ultimately had to make an exceptions to allow me into the field!" Which explains LDSK. Charles Beauchamp, the Redmond Ripper. I like the way Rossi deflects the credit on to Hotch. (What a relieaf: it looks like Seaver's a new character and I haven't missed anything).
Muttonchops! Reid in Star Trek geek mode. "Colour coded and annotated" COTW lives in the burbclave. Vanilla profile. Nice banter between Garcia and Reid. Reid casually assumes that the FBI's DBs might be better than the rent-a-cop's. Hotch uses parental disappointment to pop the COTW's bubble. Nice contrast between goth!Emily, calm and static and dark, and the edgy, bouncy husband of the latest victim. I don't think garage door openers actually work like that. Seaver tries to pump Reid for info about her father. Body language in a group environment. I like the way Seaver's wardrobe doesn't blend with the rest of the team. Woman at home alone, creepy heavy breather staring in through windows. Seaver unpacks: at home with a serial killer. Pets are verboten. To temping, presumably. "Profiling is a process. It's about puzzle pieces. Things that don't fit until they do" Prentiss the pedagogue.
The security guy gets payback for Reid's crack about his database. Escalation. Is he devolving yet? Time to start over. "Why you gotta be in such a hurry?" "Because we're trying to catch a killer!" Prentiss slaps down Muttonchops. Ashley picks her confessor. COTW stripped out the victims' husbands? What a doofus. (I wonder if I could knock up a blinking pager like Garcia's) PG and COTW crack the case. Seaver mirroring the daughter's body language is a nice touch. Is Ashley projecting? Didn't she say she hadn't spoken to her father since he was convicted? Suicide by cop. Power ballard and montage. Again Heather and Ashley are mirrored, right down to the way that Rossi rests a paternal hand on the window of the car door.
Hotch is stern and forbidding. Dave is father confessor. Seaver feels guilty about not hating her murderous, puppy drowning father, no matter how hard she tries. "I just feel like he's winning if I don't hate him." "No kiddo. There's no winning. There's just... living. Moving forward. And if you keep doing that, you'll be alright." The Rossi philosophy. A Wilde quote for the close: "Children begin by loving their parents. As they grow older they judge them, sometimes they forgive them."
