I didn't have high hopes for this episode but the Tara background storyline got me pumped. It's always nice to know more about Tara. She's a great character and it's great to know more about the person she was before. I loved her interactions with Daryl and I adored her conversation with Mary.
I still find it weird not having Reid in every case but anyway, the episode was great. I sometimes find it too easy to identify the unsub in some episodes and this one wasn't any different. I knew it was that guy escorting them, but throughout the episode, as soon as the owner of the rehab center popped up I just wanted him to be the unsub so that JJ, Luke and Simmons could wipe out that stupid smile off of his face. Seriously, he was truly evil. The ashore doesn't care about anyone. He wasn't trying to help them, but to get money from it. It disgusts me.
Anyway, great episode and a great take on rehab centers and addiction.
If there's one thing that I still don't get is the Luke situation. Two episodes ago he got demoted for almost killing someone and disobeying direct orders. Last episode, he does something good and suddenly he's all back in the team? What was the point of degrading him for just one episode? I think the writers put themselves into a corner and they didn't know how to go back, so this was the easiest solution. I loved that Prentiss didn't act out of the kindness of her heart and let slide the fact that Luke disobeyed her. I love boss Emily but if that decision was just to show that Emily won't act as a friend when someone makes a mistake, I find that whole situation pointless.
man, Aisha is so beautiful, these close-up shots in these episodes showed her stunning face so beautiful! good episode, btw, i love learning about everyone's backstories
