I was enjoying this episode until the unsub attacked the pregnant woman. What was the purpose of that? To work a female victim into the story line? That was a jump-the-shark moment. Putting that in the storyline was completely out of place. And then trying to feed the placenta to the daughter? Come on. I just think this cast deserves better than some of these writers. Very sad that it's come to this, our team having to compete with the creep of the week. It's also clear most of these writers have no law enforcement background which is why I miss Ed Bernero so much.

Henry was absolutely adorable as Mini Reid! Would love to see more of JJ's home life this season, especially Will. This was by far my fav episode this season. And for the record, i couldn't help but squirm throughout all those scenes mentioned above. THIS is defo one of the really creepy CM eps i'm well familiar with.

@tiva - Anne Dudek is a regular cast member on spy drama, Covert Affairs.
She's terrific and so is the show. You may remember her also from another Criminal Minds episode on which she guest starred previously: S4/Ep6, "The Instincts" in Las Vegas a couple's small son is kidnapped - causing Reid to have nightmares and flashbacks. At the end of the show, he's sleeping on the couch in his mother's room at the institution. One of the great Reid episodes and Anne Dudek was excellent.

I liked the episode Anne Dudek did really good at playing her role I rmember she played Amber on House I don't get why she don't star in drama show she is very good. Rossi Comment about Reid High pitch IQ. Blake was really smart when she got the ashes from the fire place and told her that it was her husband's ashes.

She is a brilliant actress. (Dudeck). Love her to pieces. She never fails to sell the role.

Anne Dudek really has versatility in acting, it's funny as she generally only plays guest and rarely supporting roles. She sold this one easily. I especially liked how they didn't reveal the unsub immediately and when they did you still had to guess what the heck was going on.
Sidenote: Like some certain CM episodes you probably don't want to eat a large meal while watching this, LOL!

I agree with Margaret. That child is a living doll. And he is not over-exposed, as he's not a regularly-working actor, and when he's there, his mom is with him. Excellent!
I loved Rossi's remark to Reid about the high pitch of his IQ.
I remember this actress from a Castle she did, playing the ex-wife of an amnesiac. She was eerily nuts here. I guess I have gotten callous over the decades. Nothing they have done on this show has ever bothered me as much as the scene in Dirty Harry where he tortured Andrew Robinson's character, and Robinson squealed like a pig. But this was crazy nasty. She didn't do it to get off; she was nuts. Nuts unnerves me more. (It was ten years before I could watch Andrew Robinson again, and seeing him still gives me pause.)
