Agree to disagree. 👌🏻

Fair enough, I just got so sick of Jess’ kid that I’m glad the personal scenes are split a lot more evenly now. I feel like the darker psychological nature of the show works better with the current cast whereas with Jess his personal scenes felt too Hallmark-like.

Hey, FBI agents!  The fugitives are getting away in a car!   In plain sight!  We the viewers can see the make, the model, even the license plate.   Don't you want to, oh I don't know, call it in?   Alert local police or maybe the rest of your team that two fugitives wanted for a double homicide and kidnapping are speeding down Getaway Lane?   What's that?   Oh, you have a personal call to take?  Never mind.

Later:

Remy: "Congratulations, kid.  Your sympathetic black orphan routine cut right to the heart of my white guilt.  No way will I investigate Brianne's involvement in this.  I will simply take your word that she's completely innocent.  I won't even consider the possibility she goaded you into murderous behavior or that she said "kewl beans" upon hearing you offed the Bedfords.   As for the dead security guard at the ice rink, it gave me the chance to get off a Zamboni joke, so let's just call it even."

Later:

"Hi, this is Nurse Miranda -- you know, the healthcare professsional your father has reduced to an old goat's masturbation fantasy?  Well, his brain is about to explode like an overripe tomato.  If he bumps it or even moves it the wrong way ... What's that?  You'll bring him to the hospital yourself?  Sure, why not?  I was about to suggest we send an ambulance with EMT's to stabilize him properly since this is a life and death situation, but if you say you got this, that's good enough for me.  Watch his head when he gets into the car, k?"

TPTB seem to be creating chaos in each agent's personal life as a mechanism to write them off of the next show: Nina had to deal with her sister's issues and now Ray will likely be off dealing with his dad's medical crisis. Barnes was missing from earlier episodes for a reason I cannot recall - likewise for Hana.

They could just do like SVU and have squad members randomly absent from eps with no explanation...

I found this to be an engaging episode. I'm divided on Brianne. It's not like she really had a good opportunity to get away from him, I don't think? If she ran, she could have risked him shooting her. Though maybe if she knew the ice rink well, she could have run and hid somewhere. But it also wasn't like some similar cases (here and other shows) where the initial kidnappee joins in on the killing.

On another note, they could have taken some steps to disguise themselves, like put on a hat (or hoodie) and/or sunglasses, say. Maybe a mask.

[millennium]

Making Brianne an Olympic hopeful figure skater was an absurd and transparent plot device to make her more sympathetic.   Take that away, and what's left is a  murderous abuse victim who apparently never considered going to the police or anyone else before winding up Jake.  Probably a case could have been made that she emotionally manipulated Jake into killing the Bedfords. 

Meanwhile, Sydney seemed so 180 degrees different from Brianne and Jake, especially in temperament, that I didn't buy she was ever close with them. 

IMO, the worst episode of the season (so far).

Another strong episode, good manhunt for a very dangerous and evil perp. I thought they might screw up somehow given that Remy’s ex was a victim, and I did think it was odd that they let her go with them to talk to the other victim, but everyone did their job well and it was a good investigation. Thought Remy was really good here and I liked seeing his compassion and softer side. Good manhunt and case and it was nice to see an “it’s personal” case handled professionally and without an investigative fuck up. This show has consistently good cases

[EtheltoTillie]

Good manhunt but why did it have to be someone known to them?  

[Chaos Theory]

Although a good episode my biggest issue about an episode about how prevalent Rape actually is in this country wasn’t focused on the three women in the group or even the rape victim (who had actually been on previous episodes) but on Remy and his feelings.

This episode is so intense and triggering.

Annie Funke from Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders as Hailey the girlfriend. I haven’t seen her for a while.

It’s good to see April again, that Remy and her stay friends.

The impromptu confessions during the car ride with Sheryll, Nina and Hana… 😢

Dammit Remy, you shouldn’t have touched Patrick’s trophies without gloves. 

Re the trip to Italy, does Remy realize the hesitation on Abby’s part before saying yes? Pay attention to little things, Remy.

Not to mention showing his picture to the victim taints her identification and since she sent the picture to Mia (the other victim) it taints her identification as well.

Anyone else think the perp's girlfriend was lying to Remy and had him hiding someplace? She seemed the type to stay devoted to him, even having evidence he was a rapist (I actually was expecting him to kill her). So I thought she was lying about him leaving in the Civic, and he was actually hiding in the house or even in the van.

And agreed that Abby didn't seem too thrilled about Rome. Seems a bit controlling on Remy's part, like couldn't they have talked about it and planned a time that worked for them, instead of him pushing it on her? I know I wouldn't like that.
