Reid: (after seeing Rossi cross himself) I didn't know you were a bad flyer.

Reid: You know, turbulence very rarely causes planes to crash.
Rossi: That does me absolutely no good at the moment. Thank you.
Reid: What we really need to worry about are microbursts, sudden downbursts of air associated with thunderstorms. But a small craft like this, if we hit one of those at the wrong altitude-- (imitates explosion) pulverized.
Rossi: (to JJ) I beg of you to make him stop.

Reid: (after going on a tangent about the majority of unsubs with the type of MO, and then interrupting himself) I'm rambling, aren't I?
Hotch: Yes.
Reid: Should probably get to the point. I think I Know how this unsub may have gotten started.
Garcia: (after being asked to look into searches with more parameters, on speakerphone) Ok, ew! See, this is why I can't talk about how my day was at dinner, breakfast, lunch.

The Turning Point in the Investigation

Reid figured out that the unsub couldn't feel pain because of being caught in the original blast

When JJ realized that the Top Ten were all kids who went on talk shows to discuss what happened.

Who dunnit and why?
Robert Adams. He was the only one who had the nerve to look the shooter in the eye, but he was knocked out by the bomb and when he awoke, a classmate had taken credit for it. He was an outcast who wanted recognition and had hoped for the event to be his rise to fame, but then he didn't get the recognition he felt he deserved and attacked those he felt were responsible or felt got what he deserved.

Best Lines

Hotch: And the unsub didn't develop his sense of empathy because it was cut off. Does every person with asymbolia have this?
Reid: Actually, most feel empathy just fine, which makes me think the rest of our profile is still accurate. Loner, invisible, (his cell phone rings again) outcast, boiling rage—son of a *****! Hi! This is Dr. Spencer Reid. I actually can come to the phone right now with a very special message that your mother is a dog.
Hotch: Reid.
Reid:(hangs up on the caller) Sorry. I’m really sorry. I don’t know what got into me.

Reid: (mumbling) I'm going to crush you. Morgan: What? Reid: (immediate) What?

Reid: You don't even remember. Wait, were you one of the mean girls? JJ: No.. Reid: Valedictorian, soccer scholarship, corn-fed but still a size 0, I think you might have been a mean girl. JJ: I was actually one of the nice girls, even to guys like you. Reid: Guys like me, I have you know that my social standing increased once I started winning at basketball. JJ: Oh yeah, you played basketball? Reid: Not that I played. I coached basketball. I broke down the opposing team's shooting strategy. JJ: Is that why Morgan kicked you out of the pool last week? Reid: Yeah, took him three rounds to realize I was hustling him.
(Morgan listening to his iPod) Reid (recorded): We interrupted your regularly scheduled musical selection with an important announcement. Never wage a practical joke war against an MIT graduate because we have a history of going nuclear. Now sit back, relax and enjoy the dulcet sounds of me screaming in your ear. AHHHHHHH Morgan: Okay kid, that was cute. But that's all you got? Reid: snores.. (Morgan's phone rings) Morgan: Hey babygir--- Reid's voice on the line: AHHHHH Reid: snickers. Morgan: All right Reid, it's on. Just know that payback's a *****. Reid: snores..

The Turning Point in the Investigation

Spencer figures out that Dolan is suffering from Capgras syndrome

Luke Dolan
He was suffering from a combination of PTSD (from his previous experience as a Navy Seal), his knowledge of secret missions, and Capgras syndrome (triggered by a head trauma, brought on by a minor car accident) that resulted in extreme paranoia. Due to Capgras syndrome that prohibited Dolan from correctly recognising his loved ones via sight, Dolan believed that his best friend and family were replaced by imposter's and was living a delusional mission to get his family back.

The Turning Point in the Investigation

When Tammy Bradford (Cy's niece) goes missing, the BAU interviews the family, only to find out that Cy matches the profile.

Ben 'Cy' Bradstone- Cy had too little oxygen to the brain when he was born, therefore he was mentally challenged and that made him unattractive to other people, particularly girls. During a homecoming after-party, he and his brother's future wife, Lyla, were playing Spin the Bottle and it landed on him. Being drunk and not wanting to be mean, Lyla agreed and the two went into the closet. Afterwards, Cy followed Lyla around until he overheard her telling her friends how 'gross' she thought he was; but it wasn't until after Cy's brother married Lyla and they began to have marital problems that things started taking a turn for the worse. During this time, Cy tried making advances towards Lyla, which she had to reject. That was his trigger.

Best Lines

Rossi: "Is this an order?"
Hotch: "No...it's just a, it's a very tempered suggestion."
Rossi: (walking away, mumbling angrily) "Yeah, tempered suggestion..."

Hotch: "Reid, if you want to be mad at someone, be mad at me."
Reid: "I can't; I didn't come to your house crying for ten weeks."

JJ: "Spence, look, we gotta talk about this."
Reid: (looking away) "What do we have to talk about?"
JJ: "I get it, okay? You're disappointed with the way we handled Emily."
Reid: (starting to walk away) "Look, I have a lot going on, all right?"
JJ: (pointedly) "You know what I think it is? You're mad that Hotch and I controlled our micro-expressions at the hospital and you weren't able to detect our deception."
Reid: "You think this is about my profiling skills? Jennifer, listen. The only reason you were able to manage my perceptions is because I trusted you. I came to your house for ten weeks in a row crying over losing a friend and not once did you have the decency to tell me the truth."
JJ: "I couldn't."
Reid: "You couldn't, or you wouldn't?"
JJ: "No, I couldn't."
Reid: "What if I started taking Dilaudid again? Would you have let me?"
JJ: (hurt) "You didn't."
Reid: "Yeah, but I thought about it." (starts to walk away)
JJ: "Spence!" (he stops and turns back to her) "I'm sorry."
Reid: "It's too late, all right?" (walks away)
