    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Rossi receives the call from the prison, the operator on the other end was actually Paget Brewster.
    • Goofs
      In the flashback to 1966 and Thomas the serial killer's birth, his mother is shown half-sitting, actively participating and assisting in the birth. In 1966, women giving birth in the US were made to lie down, often heavily sedated, and sometimes had their hands tied to the sides of the bed. This birthing scene is more reminiscent of the 1980s onwards, when "active birth" became popular.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Spencer Reid: He dumped his first victim Rachel in an alley, but he took the time to bury Tina, which suggests he felt more connected to her and perhaps even felt remorse.

      David Zimmerman: Did you ever catch this guy?

      David Rossi: What's your name, young man?

      David Zimmerman: David Zimmerman.

      David Rossi: Don't interrupt, Zimmerman.
