sawylOK, where were we? 6x18 Lauren, I think, and Emily Prentise's dark past. Nice jump back to Boston 8 years ago. I love the way Doyle introduces himself. Lauren infodumps. And speaks French. Badly, I'm assured. Aliterative cover names. Surely a giveaway? Dr Memory strikes. Prentise leaves her desk unlocked? Very sloppy. "She knows all of our tricks. We don't know any of hers." Morgan has spent the last 5 years asleep. JJ! Fahey the Weasel. Elizabeth Bear quote for the open: "The secret to getting away with lying is believing with all your heart. That goes for lying to yourself even more so than lying to another" Squee!
Prentise wasn't a desk jockey, she was uncover with Doyle. Morgan feels betrayed: his profile in Valhalla was a projection of his own feelings. A gimmal ring: Em wasn't as detached as she could have been. California doesn't make a good stand-in for Northern Island. The second car — preparing the way. Things don't look good for Clyde. Garcia's monologue is perfect: you'd have to made of stone to resist. Something tells me that flashbangs and machine guns aren't FBI SOP.
The team are flying in. Morgan is still angry. Doyle: the tattoo artist from hell. The violation feels worse because Prentise has always been so independent. An offer to become Lauren Reynolds again. "Just because you know how I profile, doesn't mean you know me" Clyde isn't impressed. Fahey is dumb, but he's got a real eye for the main chance! Da capo. Fahey hits on Seaver. Mirror of Reid's dilemma in Revelations. But Reid doesn't have Lauren's ruthless streak. Rossi rebuilds Seaver's confidence. "If I were running from a terrorist, I would cash in my IRA... Not that one! The oth... You know what I mean!" Clyde's issues his ultimatum. Doyle as a family annihilator.
Flashback. Contrast Lauren with Emily. "Or, I could get you out" Lauren really loves the guy. Doyle's romantic vision of himself as a warrior. Pictures of Doyle's son being shot. That's one hell of a revelation. And so's that. Stealth raid. Fisticuffs! Impalement! Morgan finally realises: "I'm proud of you because you're my friend and you're my partner."
Hospital waiting room. Bad news and everyone looks destroyed. The look that passes between JJ and Hotch is a thing of beauty: it says, for a moment, that both of them are in on something that the others don't know and then it passes, and you can see JJ sliding back into her role as mourner. A significant funeral, all swooping cellos and red roses. Hotch gives JJ another significant look. I like the way Morgan and Garcia are holding hands. A hopeful final moment in Paris and a significant quote about the Big Lie. I think we haven't seen the last of Emily Prentise.
