Revealing mistakes: When Morgan approaches the door of the gas station to deliver alcohol to the unsubs, the male unsub wields his Beretta pistol and an audible click is heard, presumably due to cocking the hammer. In subsequent scenes the pistol is shown uncocked and the safety lever is still on.See more »

Where to start; this episode is terrible. With no continuity from the previous episode, cliché story and hardly no screen time for the main characters, it's hard to see any good points of this episode.
The story cuts and swaps incoherently and the BAU seems to just magic up a profile with little to no investigation. here's hoping the next episode has greater depth. As this is generally quite a good show.
I can understand how the writers would have difficulty coming up with new plot points for so many episodes; however they can overcome this by focusing in on characters as the characters that make up the BAU is what makes criminal minds so interesting in the first place. don't bother with this episode.
