Drama, drama, and some more drama.
So, I bought an iPhone. Never thought I'd be one of those people, but omg, it's just so shiny and ~*~pretty~*~.
Anyway, on to the matters of more importance, as in the new Criminal Minds episode (it's still weird to actually say that every Thursday; I'm really watching this show again, WTF). It was another well done episode--Erica Messer is quickly becoming my favourite person--with a ridiculously creepy unsub and some wonderful team moments. Also, Rossi and Hotch are so married. Seriously.
Things kick off in the best way possible as Emily and JJ are strolling along the hallways of Quantico together (Emily in a pair of sex-me-up jeans and a deliciously fitting shirt, I might add).
Emily: So you finished the course?
JJ: Uh-huh, I completed my case rotation.
Emily: Hotch says he's never seen a rookie profiler analyze and write up cases as well as you.
JJ: He said that?
Emily: Yeah. Well, after all the cases you've presented over the years, I'm not surprised.
Be still my beating heart! This is almost too much hotness at once. I love it how Emily is obviously very proud of her lesbian lover girlfriend co-worker, and OMG, COULD YOU TWO WALK ANY CLOSER TOGETHER?? It actually looks like they're holding hands in some of the caps.
The goodness continues when Reid turns up and gives JJ the cold shoulder.
JJ: He hates me.
Emily: Mmh, he was just busy. [shrugs] Let it go.
There's something wonderfully familiar in the way Emily and JJ communicate with each other. And I'm still eagerly waiting for the revelation that the two were actually in contact throughout the whole Emily-is-dead-but-not-really ordeal.
Right, so Garcia is taking cooking tips from Rossi, which is just as amusing as one might think. It's Morgan who, eventually, comes up with the perfect solution:
Morgan: You know, Rossi, you could always give Penelope a cooking lesson.
Garcia: That would be amazing!
[Rossi giving an are-you-kidding-me look at Morgan]
Bwahaha! Well, as you might've guessed, this eventually leads to the entire team turning up at Rossi's house mansion for a cooking lesson. But hold your horses, I'm getting ahead of myself.
The case. An unsub who burns his victims with acid. Ew and ouch. Garcia's now presenting the cases while JJ sticks to profiling, which is actually quite nice. I like that Garcia's a part of the team a little more now.
Eeee, it's still amazing to see Paget and A.J. in the credits again. ♥
There's a typical plane scene of the team flying to solve the case, and all I can remember of it is the way JJ's standing over Emily's seat.
OM NOM NOM.
Right, the case. So Hotch decides that JJ and Reid should go check out the abduction sites. We all know how well that's going to play out.
JJ: It's amazing no one witnessed her abduction.
Reid: Emily was buried six feet under and turned up in Paris, so I guess anything's possible, right?
[...]
JJ: Charm's quite the killer.
Reid: So are tears.
Oh, snap! Reid, you don't play fair. Poor JJ.
The case itself is pretty gruesome, I have to say, even by this show's standards. There's something really heinous about using acid to torture someone. *shudder* Indeed, the case is awful, but everything else is suddenly forgotten when JJ walks to a crime scene dressed in snug trousers and a white shirt.
Um, yes please? Also, when did JJ steal Emily's gay!watch?
Things finally boil over with JJ and Reid, and it's pretty painful to watch, because noooo, you're family, guys!
JJ: Spence, look. We got to talk about this. I get it, okay? You're disappointed with the way we handled Emily.
Reid: Look, I've got a lot going on, all right?
JJ: You know what I think it is? You're mad that Hotch and I controlled our microexpressions 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 had started taking dilaudid again, would you have let me?
JJ: [confused] You didn't.
Reid: Well, I thought about it.
Ouch. But things get even worse:
JJ: Spence! [Reid turns around] I'm sorry.
Reid: It's too late, all right?
[Reid storms away]
Emily: Reid?
Double ouch. JJ looks absolutely crestfallen, it's terrible. But I do like it how Emily's eyes are actually on JJ when everyone else is looking after Reid.
So, this next scene. What can I tell you, I'm a fan of Emily & Morgan's BFF-ness.
Emily: [hesitantly] Hey Morgan? What do I do about Reid?
Morgan: Emily, there's a lot about your being back that's unresolved.
Emily: [taken aback] Are you pissed at me too?
Morgan: C'mon now. How can I be? You're here.
Morgan, for once you said the right thing! Just look at Emily's happy face, even after Morgan's attention is already back on the halfway house lady. ♥
Back at the precinct, Hotch suggests Rossi give the entire team a lesson in cooking. Rossi is not amused, but because it's Hotch who asks and because the two are totally married, he relents. Ha.
But OMG, when did JJ become the butchy one of our favourite ship, because she's sporting some seriously gay clothes this season.
There's really nothing I can say that wouldn't make me look like a giant, lesbian perv. *blinks* Oh, shut UP, you lot!
Anyway, Emily obviously feels out-butched as well, because she couldn't possibly sit in a gayer manned in the next scene:
So. gay. And OMG, what is that tongue thing, because it's the hottest thing ever! Yes, fine! I'm a giant, lesbian perv! And holy crap, there are too many exclamation points in this paragraph!
Oh, the case. The guy had the hots for his brother's wife, so he, of course, killed and tortured women. The end.
On the way home, Emily finally decides to confront Reid and his issues.
Emily: [leaning forward] Look, Reid. I know you're mad at us, because we didn't tell you what really happened, and I understand that. But I promise you, we had no choice. [pause] You mourned the loss of a friend, I mourned the loss of six. [A/N: I totally heard "sex"] This whole thing gave me an ulcer. Please, don't give me another one.
It's all very Emily, I like it. And it has the desired effect on Reid, of course.
So, they all end up cooking at Rossi's, which is just...LOL. It's a tad corny, but I love all these team moments (someone needs to burn Emily's off-work wardrobe, though).
Oh, my darling, darling show. ♥
Next week: Someone with delusions. How original.
Right, now that the recap's all finished and done with, would anyone want to take a crack at my MA thesis for me? No? Harumph, you guys are no fun.
