Normal


Synopsis:
The BAU team works with local law enforcement to investigate a serial killer dubbed "The Road Warrior", a suspect who kills middle-aged blonde female luxury car owners while they are driving on freeways..,
Set in:
Orange County, CA
Best Moments Between Characters:
  • When Hotch spoke with Agent Todd and asked her if she could do the job. She said she could and Hotch told her to get ready for another press conference.
  • Upon coming out of the house of the "Road Warrior" and finding his family dead, Todd, with tears in her eyes asked Rossi if she was responsible for that. Rossi, in a tender moment, told her that the family had been dead before they were called to the case. He said they knew he'd hurt his family, just not when. Todd told Rossi she couldn't do the job and Rossi assured her it was okay.
  • At the end when JJ was showing baby Henry to her coworkers, allowing Morgan to hold him. Prentiss and Garcia teased him about the reason why Henry smiling at him - attributing it to gas instead of the "the Derek Morgan charm." JJ then pointed out to Hotch that he was smiling, and he replied that they all missed her.

Best Lines
  • [to Morgan when he calls] Garcia: "Give it to me."
  • Prentiss:"Ever notice how the trip back takes less time?"
  • Reid:"It's because we the tailwind is in our favor.."


The turning point in the investigation:
After Todd gave the second press conference, one of Norman's coworkers realized that Norman fit the profile. He called into the tip line and explained what had happened to Norman.


Whodunit?
Norman Hill, a middle-aged man who pulled over to change a tire on his car. His younger daughter came over to help him and was struck and killed by an oncoming vehicle. Norman blamed himself and thought his family did as well, causing him to feel inadequate and emasculated. He killed his family, but continued to hallucinate that they were still alive. After being cut off by a female driver (who resembled his wife) and then being belittled by her, Norman snapped and pulled out a gun and shot her. From there, he went on a rampage, killing other drivers.
