I think there was a growing weariness, numbness, since New York. Never before had we had to deal so intimately with the possibility of one of the team dying. There's always the possibility of injury, always scary when its not you in the situation. Intellectually, you realize that your teammates have been trained to deal with torture and pain, just like you have. Emotionally its a lot harder to deal with - Prentiss and Reid being held hostage in a religious compound, Reid struggling with his memories and his resentment regarding his father; Prentiss dealing with the death of her friend Matthew.

All of it weighs down on you, exhausts you. Day after day, seeing the bad in people. I really don't know how Garcia is able to keep seeing the good in people, keep holding onto that spark of brightness. Thank god she does, because sometimes it's only her voice that helps pull me through the day.

I think the worst cases, the worst unsubs are the ones that aren't really bad - like the graphic artist who saw his girlfriend raped and murdered in front of him and was nearly killed himself. I think I would have a psychotic break to! The ones were there is so obviously a reason for the crimes are the hardest cases to get through. Those cases wear me out more than any others.

Secrets and pasts can be dealt with individually, by ourselves. It's when we get others involved in the secrets that it becomes so painful.

Foyet weighed on us all, even though we obviously targeted Hotch. The rest of us were just the bit players in all of this. Hotch took it much harder because he worked the original case. It was one of those cases, the ones that haunted him over the years.

Foyet could have easily killed me, but like Hotch said - he's all about power and manipulation. He figured he could torment me by reminding me that he could have killed me.

This guy definitely is going to haunt us all for a long time. The one that got away. How many more poeople will he kill before we find him again?
