I hate to say it, but I would probably consider it for Steve. I would still say no, but I would at least think about it.
Steve McGarrett pushes ALL of my buttons.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

NCIS:
The did a similar plot on L&O original flavor where a girl continued to pretend she was a teenager long after she wasn't. Also, the actress was on Guiding Light, where her character's name was Daisy, which was one of her alias names.

Season 12 of CSI is feeling very Season 1. It's been a long time coming, but nice to see, in any case.

I am really unhappy with the team's reaction to Reid being upset. He has EVERY right to be angry, why are they all acting like he needs to just "get over it".
JJ was acting like there was something was wrong with Reid because he didn't just forgive her for lying to him. Forgiveness takes time.

Okay, that unsub was more than I can take. Surely there are more ways to continue to have drama than ever more horrifying crimes.
Also, Prentiss saying she lost six friends compared with Reid losing one is bogus. She knew they were alive and that she could see them again.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree with Vortex and Ginger, but let me get this out of my system.
WTF was up with tonight's unsub. None of it made any fucking sense. I guess we are to assume that he had developmental delays due to his lacking oxygen at birth. Are you going to tell me that living in the same family as him all these years you wouldn't have noticed his sociopathy. Really?
And would he really have gone after his niece like that? I mean, WTF? The whole thing was unnecessarily convoluted, creepy, over the top. I really HATED it.
I did like some of the interactions among the team for drama's sake, but I agree that Reid's reactions were discounted. And isn't it Prentiss who he told that he was worried about schizophrenia? You'd think they would have shown some sensitivity and Hotch for SURE needed to bring in psych again. One spaghetti dinner ain't gonna get it.

Frontal lobe damage can theoretically affect judgment, impulse control and ability to respond appropriately to social cues. While this may a factor in sociopathy, it doesn't seem likely to be behind a killer whose crimes are pretty well planned. He apparently enjoyed hurting things from an early age, which you'd think someone would have noticed by now.
I'm with le nubian. I hated it.

I thought the same thing, and was surprised that Reid didn't call her on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm actually not feeling Reid spraying blame around like that. Trying to blame, even vaguely implying JJ would be responsible for lapsing back into his addiction? No. That's all on him.
If you live and work in a world with security clearances, sometimes you're just not that special. It also bugs me when relatives of agents complain that they should have been told anyway. It's the job.
Be mad, be upset, but actually laying blame with other people like that isn't cool in my book.
