- An unusually high suicide rate in Pittsburgh appears to be the work of an Angel of Death.
- In Pittsburgh, there's a sudden suicide spike, with all of the victims being family members of or related to the victims of a recent fire. Soon the team discovers that their deaths were all arranged to look like suicide by an UnSub who believes he is killing them as an act of mercy.—J. Rieper
- Some time ago, a fire during an annual event caused the death of 14 kids. Their families are still grieving. Within a period of 2 months, five members of these families have apparently committed suicide. The brother of one of the deceased is a police officer, and he finds the circumstances of these suicides suspicious. He calls the FBI profilers, who start suspecting than an "Angel of Mercy"-type of serial killer has been targeting the grieving families. The killer seems to have access to his victims' houses, indicating that it is someone they knew and trusted. Most of the victims took part in anonymous support groups. The profilers suspect that the killer uses the support groups to meet potential victims, he befriends the depressed individuals, and then puts them out of their misery. As the killings continue, the profilers try to guess who is next on the target list.—Dimos I
- After signing his divorce papers, Hotch has requested a one-day leave if only to connect with Jack, who he does not want to lose contact with as he did with Haley. With Hotch off, Rossi, in charge, takes a case which some on the team, specifically Morgan, do not believe they should be working. There have been an increase of suicides in a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the latest death being that of Paul Baleman, who electrocuted himself in a bathtub of water. Morgan believes that the only reason that they were called was that Paul is the brother of the lead PPD investigating detective, Ronnie Baleman. But there is a connection between all the supposed suicides: each lost a child in a recreational center fire three months previously. Fourteen children died in that fire. Since then, five supposed suicides in that neighborhood have occurred. That connection and the significance of the increase in the suicide rate is enough for them to at least investigate. When mounting but still circumstantial evidence indicates that these were not suicides, the BAU initially believe they are dealing with a self-appointed Angel of Mercy, who believes he is putting the victims out of their misery of grief. To catch the unsub, the team have to figure out how he has managed to gain the trust of all the victims. The "suicide notes" may be the key to solving the case. But Reid finds some additional information on the case which is difficult for some to hear.—Huggo
