Quotes 

• Kevin Lynch : Just the guy I'm looking for.

  Derek Morgan : Hey, what's up, Kevin?

  Kevin Lynch : Can we talk?

  Derek Morgan : Is Penelope okay?

  Kevin Lynch : Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's perfect. In fact, that's why I'm here. Look, I know you're Penelope's boo and she's your baby girl. And what I'm about to embark on involves the keen insight of somebody who knows her inside and out. And no matter how much therapy I've gone through trying to understand your relationship, I know you're that person.

  Derek Morgan : Okay, Kevin, land your plane.

  Kevin Lynch : I want to propose to Penelope, and I need your help. Please, I'm not asking for your blessing, I'm asking for your advice. Okay, should I do it over a couple tacos and a nice can of Red Bull? All right. Should I take her to New York and do it at the Statue of Liberty? Maybe, I should serenade her at the round table right before you guys present a case. No, actually, that may not work, given the gruesome nature of your job. How about the high tech room, and I... and I pop up on an HD mainframe?

  Derek Morgan : Kevin, seriously, I got a meeting I gotta get to.

  Kevin Lynch : Derek, please. Come on, bro, this is important.

  Penelope Garcia : [Morgan comes into the meeting room]  Hi, yeah, what was that about?

  Derek Morgan : You know, he just wanted to talk.

  Penelope Garcia : About what?

  Derek Morgan : Just guy stuff.

  Penelope Garcia : Me?

  Derek Morgan : I didn't say that.

  Aaron Hotchner : Garcia, I'd like to get started.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : So I checked the pregnant employees working with the foster program; no indication of maternal desire or postpartum psychosis.

  [sits in front of Hotchner] 

  Aaron Hotchner : What about those who were fired or quit?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Only two were pregnant, but they also had healthy children. The rest didn't fit the profile.

  Aaron Hotchner : Okay. We need to warn other parents in the foster system.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [subdued]  The police department's already making phone calls.

  Derek Morgan : [sits down with Jennifer as Reid looks on]  This woman is erratic and unstable. What about someone who was recently released from a mental institution?

  Jennifer Jareau : [off-screen]  Well, that would explain taking the last victim's clothes. When you enter a facility, they strip you of your identity.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : And when you get out of an institution, the first thing you do is try to get your identity back.

  Aaron Hotchner : [tapping on a device]  I'll get Garcia.

• Aaron Hotchner : We believe the unsub we're looking for is a white female who, based upon the organizational level of the crimes, is in her late 30s to early 40s.

  Emily Prentiss : We also believe that something in the last few days has triggered her to think that killing was the only way she was gonna be able to obtain a child. Consequently, the foster families that did not have a child in their care when she visited became her victims.

  David Rossi : Because all these families recently had children in their homes, we believe our unsub is motivated by maternal desire.

  Jennifer Jareau : Maternal desire is the profound emotional need to mother a baby. This stems from either the tragic loss of her own child, or the inability to have one at all.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : This unsub may also fantasize that someone else's baby belongs to her, and this emotion feels beyond her control. A... a woman who miscarries sometimes projects onto someone else's baby, and then sets out to take that child.

  Derek Morgan : This may cause our unsub to do something drastic, like commit a Caesarian abduction, or kidnap a random kid. The speed at which the kills are occurring suggests that our unsub is frustrated and devolving.

  Jennifer Jareau : This is causing her to go on a spree, which usually ends in a very high body count and suicide by cop.

  Derek Morgan : So we should look at anyone who was pregnant and suffering from postpartum psychosis.

  David Rossi : We also need to check those who worked for or had access to the local foster system.

  Aaron Hotchner : Thank you. Any questions?

  [all of the local police officers raise their hands] 

• Penelope Garcia : [on phone with Hotch]  Penny G. has checked all local mental institutions and there are no women that fit that description that have been released in the last two weeks.

  Aaron Hotchner : [on headset]  Alright; check Oregon, Idaho; even Montana.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay... there are... 4 women that match the profile and none of them are preggers.
