Quotes 

• Jennifer Jareau : I will never understand this whole teacher lover thing. I can barely deal with a grown man.

  David Rossi : What's interesting is, if it would have been a male teacher and a female student, he'd have gotten 20 years and none of this would have happened.

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, she could get life plus 20 for all those murders she committed.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You know, it's funny. If she wasn't so pretty, she probably would never have been released in the first place.

  Penelope Garcia : What?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's true. Unattractive female predators serve a longer prison sentence than their attractive counterparts.

  Penelope Garcia : Wow. That's ridiculous.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's primal. There's a hierarchy to everything, including sex offenders.

• 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?
