oooh the framing of 5x9 is interesting. also i wish i was watching this not knowing the ending because man they are trying to make it look like hotch is dead
avoiding thinking about what i know is going to happen by fixating on literally anything else. look at penelope's silly little run ❤️

Wait. Wait. Spoilers below about Elle’s exit and the Hotch/Foyet arc because I AM SO CONFUSED.
I’ve seen people say before how angry they are with how the Elle situation was handled because in later seasons, other characters do the exact same things and aren’t treated the same. I’ve always wondered what they were talking about, as I couldn’t figure out who they meant.
Just read a post that they mean Hotch killing Foyet???? (And then subsequently lost said post because I was so shocked)
IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT THE SAME THING????
Look, I LOVE Elle. I wish Lola had loved LA and stayed on the show forever.
But Elle tracked down a rapist, alone, without telling anyone, and murdered him. Then she lied about it, and claimed it was self defense. That means she also had to plant evidence on the man - to say he had a gun when it was never shown that he did (at that moment at least). IF he did have a gun on him, she had to physically move it from wherever it was and put it in his hand. She had never been physically harmed by this man. (We won’t get into the whole “he mentally harmed her by triggering her” debate). Was he an absolute scum bag? Without a doubt.
Aaron Hotchner elected to arrest George Foyet because that was his job. The man escaped, stabbed him repeatedly, and then as if that wasn’t enough, killed his (ex)wife. THEN, when fighting with Hotch, stated he was going to go kill his son. Hotch didn’t lie about anything during the investigation- he stated the truth - if Foyet managed to get up, he was going to find and kill Jack. Should Hotch have maybe just handcuffed him once he had the upper hand? Possibly. But the man had already escaped once - he memorized every prison in his state. Plus it was a literal dirty fist fight - Hotch had the upper hand at the moment, who knows if he would have if he stopped to get the cuffs out.
SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THESE SITUATIONS ARE EVEN REMOTELY SIMILAR. (Besides both killing someone. If that’s the similarity, every single member of the BAU has done that, excluding Penelope - although she does shoot someone so!!)
