marvelfan89 Total Reviews: 112 Not Useful Useful	Morbid case involving a father and son plus Gideon leaves
	!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!! Very entertaining episdoe. From the promos they showed Gideon possibly contemplating suicide not being able to take more of the gruesome cases the team he's handled. Hotch gets reprimanded for the teams poor performance which led to a youth's suicide. Meanwhile a serial killer Dad using his son as bait to lure women and literally cuts their hearts out runs rampant. At first I felt sorry for the kid but in reality the kid wasn't as innocent as he made himself out to be. He was a brat. Spoiled brat. Also if this kid was as smart the Dad claimed to be why didn't he see that luring women into his Dad's arms was wrong? They both had issues even the episode didn't explore the kid's mind that much. The ending was predictable and I was disappointed with the happy go lucky ending with Gideon. Yes the promos might have been misleading but still the way they did led me to believe that Gideon was going to kill himself. Not that I wanted that but that's just the way Gideon's character has been since the first season having instances where he's been unable to continue with the team. We'll see if he comes back. As the new episodes have played the Team has handled his absence well even though make no mistake about Gideon was a big help to this team.
