i am once again thinking about morgan's protectiveness over reid this episode.

Three men stand outdoors at night. From right to left: a teenage boy in a blue letterman jacket, a man with a purple scarf, and a man in a dark jacket. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "I want you to go to the house and see"

Subtitles:
-"if the deputies have come back."
and
-"What?"

A close-up of the man in the dark jacket, addressing the man in the purple scarf. The subtitle at the bottom of the image read: "We need the sheriff and the crime scene team here."

A close-up of the man in the purple scarf. His face is shadowed and he looks contemplative. The subtitles at the bottom of the image read:
-"But..."
and
-"Reid, do it."

it's a little hard to tell because there's a scene with the rest of the team interrupting this scene and the next, but as best as I can tell. Morgan telling Reid to go back to the house is immediately followed by Morgan confronting Cory.

The teenager in the blue letterman jacket faces the man in the dark jacket, brows furrowed and mouth open. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "This was more than just a lucky guess, wasn't it?"

Reid isn't the most suited for physical confrontation (which Morgan knows this will likely escalate to) at the best of times, but he's especially not ready for it now. He's tired, kept up by nightmares, embarrassed by his superiors knowing about them, nervous about losing his job over it, and probably still feels a little betrayed by Morgan telling them without his permission even though at this point he understands why he did. So, Morgan tells him to leave, and gives him no indication that he thinks Cory is the unsub. Maybe even waits until Reid is a safe distance away to confront Cory. Trying to keep him out of harms way.

The teenager in the blue letterman jacket aims a gun at the cheek of the man in the purple scarf, his free arm wrapped around his neck. The man in the purple scarf has his hands up in surrender, and the man in the dark jacket aims his own gun at the teenager.

Unfortunately, there was nobody at the house to bring back to the scene (because they were already on their way) and Spencer "Danger Magnet" Reid came back quicker than I think Morgan was hoping for. Better luck next time!
