Criminal Minds: 7x23/24 Hit & Run - Emily's final scene & Team dance

Sobbing.... Perfect
I own nothing

[@Arshabyn7]

1:37 Have you seen that? A master class of unresolved sexual tension by Emily Prentiss and Aaron Hotchner

[@kirstymcintire1706]

Yep

[@kirstymcintire1706]

I think there is a massive release of sexual tension between Hotch and Prentiss.

[@seraphim.42]

i mean i always saw hotch as a father figure, for most of the members on the team

[@ic8062]

The same quote Prentiss said at the end when she left was the same quote Morgan used when he left at the end of his last episode. God this show is so amazing

[@ic8062]

+Wampo683 ikr and shes coming back next week which im super excited about but why come when Morgan is gone, if only she came in his last episodes

[@kirstymcintire1706]

I know

[@wintersweather478]

okay, but nobody can deny, when Emily and Hotch start to dance, the moment feels more intimate

[@nl4913]

Right🥺😭

[@sindneyjohnson2591]

Ikr I felt the same way

[@angeliquegayou1426]

Carrément 😂❤ perso je l’ai aurais bien vu ensembles vraiment ça aurait été un beau couple

[@belizeanjewel]

7 Seasons! Finally a scene where Hotch smiles an dances.

[@allycastillo2446]

And blinks 😂

[@Arshabyn7]

And flirts ;-)

[@kirstymcintire1706]

I know

[@subwaysurfer5378]

He smiled in the first season

[@theotterislands8642]

At first I was like "its so cute, she's dancing with everyone" and then I realized she was saying goodbye to them one by one :(

[@theotterislands8642]

you can se her whisper to them, im crying

[@tombehaut]

This scene is the saddest scene in Criminal Minds. I feel so sad and... I don't know how to explain my feelings when I'm looking at them dancing and laughing together for the Last Time.

[@caitlynxstar]

I completely understand. 😭

[@elinoruveges8102]

why is she leaving? and she never came back in the future?? how hotch and emily relationship ended? i havent watched the series im just soo curious.

[@soccerslife_227]

@@elinoruveges8102 Paget Brewster (aka Emily Prentiss) left the show in season 7 because she wanted to pursue other opportunities, so they had her character, Prentiss, be offered a position at Interpol by Clyde Easter (her former colleague), as Chief of Interpol’s London Office to write her off the show. Prentiss eventually did come back in seasons 12-15, but sadly it was in light of Hotch leaving (Thomas Gibson was fired due to creative writing differences which I’m not going to get into). So although Hotch and Prentiss weren’t in a relationship, it was heavily and subtly implied that they had feelings for each other. Sadly it’s left ambiguous and we don’t know what happened after the wedding dance but in a conversation that took place earlier in the episode, they set a “date” for tomorrow morning to talk about her leaving the BAU, so it’s open to interpretation there. I hope that answers all of your questions, and Criminal Minds is a great show that I highly recommend watching!

[@shesemeyeay]

no one can say that hotch and emily didn’t have sexual tension. when they were dancing they were the only ones who were silent and not bc they didn’t like each other but bc they didn’t wanna say goodbye

[@haileyfrank6419]

Both Emily and Hotch dance with everyone else but ya know something special happens when they dance together and it gets purposefully zoomed in on

[@dyketron3000]

I CANNOT EVEN RIGHT NOW THIS VIDEO MADE ME SHIP EMILY WITH EVERY GUY THERE IS except Rossi lol

someonetoldmewatchout I know! It looked like they were about to kiss, now it would never happen 😭😭😭

[@Joi4Madonna3mpress]

Say whatever u want but Emily Prentiss is the best character Criminal Minds will ever have. I can still hear that sentence, even now, even in a scene as "festive" as this one "Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets and takes its own punishment in silence."

[@marielizapaniagua7288]

I loved this scene, so bittersweet! I loved the girls dancing together and how cute and fun Reid and Prentiss look dancing together. Seeing Hotch and Prentiss dancing made want to see them together!!

[@elHEARTBREAKER]

She was my fav and I was devastated when she left. The first time, she wasn't killed so I knew she could return but this time it felt different.

[@jessicawssilva]

1:38 THIS IS MY SHIP ='(

[@ThePopeline]

same here

[@nature6483]

They're always going to be one of favorite ships that didn't sail into the sunset, but there's still a small chance with the final season coming.

[@angiihsilva3134]

OH YEAH

[@CharmedbyLeo]

This never fails to bring tears to my eyes. The best Criminal Minds team ever.

[@kirstymcintire1706]

Yeah eventhough there is brutal killing

[@Lobxx1]

aww when Reid blows a kiss to Emily (or Morgan :P) at 1:23

[@kirstymcintire1706]

Could be both

[@Proj3ctX1]

The way Derek and Prentiss were dancing was just like the way JJ and her husband were dancing.

[@devyngreen4066]

the love derek and emily have for eachother is so sweet

[@fullkim]

Beautiful! You can feel the pure love! That wasn't Spencer Reid...that was Matthew himself blowing Paget a kiss! My heart melts!

[@linavogler3005]

Why does Emily Prentiss have to leave the BAU team? She is like the best character in that show. Man.

[@angiihsilva3134]

came from the future to say that she comes back and becomes the team supervisor

I love this song so much !! Paget is so beautiful in her finale scène !!

[@kirstymcintire1706]

Yeah I agree

[@Julylovesmusic1]

I watched this episode today for the first time and it broke my heart.

[@gregbosse269]

Just did that today myself.

[@liliancampos7891]

I can't stop crying everytime i watch this. Emily looks so sweet and fragile, the oposite than how she always seemed, strong and confident. Can see in her eyes how bad she is going to miss the team, her team :'(

[@ponyrellabellasara]

NOOOOO EMILY YOU CAN'T LEAVE!!! D; She's my favorite character ;(

[@emckay2350]

Am now sitting here bawling my eyes out. I miss Paget so freaking much, I want Emily back. I miss her with her team.

[@greysanatomyintern]

I keep coming back to this video over the years. Makes me cry everytime. God I love Emily/Paget soooo much 😭😍😭

[@anathompson755]

I love when emily is dancing with derek. She looks so safe. And when she's with jj and penelope, i love them together. But when she dances with hotch and the way he looks at her. He loved her so much. And with Reid, hes her little brother. And Rossi, he was always there and looked after her. I just love this family so much. And it didn't fully hit me that she was leaving till her end quote. I just love this episode so much

[@shesemeyeay]

am i the only one who was watching this and was like “oh emily is just sad a contemplating life she isn’t leaving” then the next season she’s gone and i’m like 😦

[@zacandsabby]

so many ships crashing into another! i can never not cry whenever i watch this. it hurts my heart. yet i keep coming and watching it!

[@jdtv05]

I watch the scene on repeat and have done for years. So sad to say goodbye to this show, so many memories to remember with these characters though.

[@talltalene]

i cry every time i watch this. i don't want Emily to leave :(

[@kirstymcintire1706]

Me either. Everytime I watch this I cry

[@Rainbow83bright]

Amazing beautiful scene! At the start when she is just walking watching them had me crying then by the end after each individual dance I was sobbing. You can feel the love xx

[@emma9955]

WHAT EMILY SAYS AT THE END “I’ve always hear every ending is also a beginning and we just don’t know it at the time. I’d like to believe that’s true.” AND SHES LEAVING THE BAU IS WHAT DEREK SAYS WHEN HE LEAVES THE BAU FOR HIS SON 4 SEASONS LATER “As a good friend of mine said, every ending is also a beginning. We just don’t know it at the time. I’d like to believe she’s right.” AND SHES ALSO DANCING WITH DEREK WHEN SHE SAID THAT UGH SUCH GOOD WRITING IM SOBBING GOODBYE

[@compartmentalize6998]

This dancing sequence defines "bittersweet." JJ and Will are safe and now married, just in time for Emily to leave. Just when everything's perfect. The slight heartbreak was definitely made the episode... I'll just miss her so much!

[@Bethy1416]

This never fails to make me cry. This must be the 14th time I've watched it...

[@MsNix1978]

I think all the dances were special and no doubt there was a cross over between character and the cast.... Saying goodbye to her. But the final dance with Morgan & Prentiss had all the feels for me....... So intimate, loving and beautiful... Her hand on his heart... Just perfect

[@JewelCookie123]

I just rewatched this again yesterday. It’s so weird I don’t remember being this devastated the first time lol 😭😭😭

[@jdtv05]

I've always love Prentiss hated when she left. This scene gets me everytime but, I'm so happy that we get her back full time for Season 12.

[@kensheenwinchester3786]

I was re-watching this from Disney+ and they cut the final scenes. I just had to see it again and after all these years, it still gives me the shivers and butterflies. One of the great finales of this series.

[@courtneyjones4768]

I do not regret putting this video on repeat in the background of my tabs, and downloading the song and played on repeat.

[@jazzy1260]

Honestly, I get the feeling that this scene isn't really Morgan, Hotch, Rossi, Reid, JJ, and Garcia dancing with Prentiss but rather Shemar, Thomas, Joe, Matthew, A.J. and Kirsten dancing with Paget. You can just see how much they all care about each other. So beautiful.

[@marielizapaniagua7288]

jazzy1260 I see it too!! 😍😍😍

[@TheWatermelonSunrise]

Best ending ever! Emily couldn't leave in other way! She has done a wonderful job! Let's hope we will see her again as a colaborator in a case in some episode! (Isn't it a good reason for the CM to come to London for a special episode or two?!)

[@kirstymcintire1706]

Yeah they should come to london

[@ElizabethCamilleri]

The song playing is As it seems by Lily Kershaw Exactly one season after, in the Season 8 finale, they played Ashes like Snow by Lily Kershaw. :)

[@katiebabwkati519]

I don't watch criminal minds anymore since she left I only watch the ones with emily in it

[@weirdlittleshrimp636]

Can someone explain exactly why she left to work in London? I don't get it😢

[@jessicamessica6134]

She says her quote as she and Morgan are dancing and 4 seasons later when Morgan leaves he says the same quote and the episode after that prentiss comes back......they planned this shit out no cap

[@magicmnms101]

She left for a while, came back, and now she's officially gone. I miss her so much :( the new character (I don't even know her name) sucks balls. No one can replace the amazing Emily Prentiss. Blehh.

[@snappbee]

Do you mean Alex or Kate Both der replacements Alex is in seasons 8 and 9 Kate is in season 10

[@magicmnms101]

Desiree Ecker I prefer alex to kate but prentiss to both.

[@persephoneabbot9125]

I just finished the scene where she died. I know she’ll come back for another season before her long break again. She is my favourite character and I don’t know if I can continue the seasons without her in it. Or seasons where Morgan and Hotch leave. Emily is just powerful

[@CPMV71]

You voiced exactly how I felt :)

I rewatched this episode, n I'm still sobbing at how bitter sweet this is, they're all so happy but they leave knowing Emily is gone, but so happy for a JJ's new hope and life. I cant feel happy or sad and my mood switches at each dance I'm dying again. Huh this kinda sums up the best/biggest moments in my life as well. Got used to the feeling, but I never want it to end

ALONG WITH THE AS IT SEEMS SONG AND PRENTISS' DEPARTURE, THIS IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE SADDEST SCENE FROM CRIMINAL MINDS.

Hi, I'm from Germany and I love(d) CM. I'm watching it not so long maybe since 2 or 3 years because I'm only 14 years now. So I bought season 1-8 and watched the Show like a marathon. But what I want to say is that I love Emily. Of course I like the others too but she's my CM-Crush. But then she's left the show and I was very sad and I was like "I hate the Show....I hate it all" I tried to watch CM continue . ...but I couldn't. And I still can't. I mean she is or was my Favorite. Consequently I cant or don't want watching CM continue. It's like I can't without her. So I miss Emily so much. She was great, fantastic and funny. Emily was a fighter...I mean she was so strong and yes...she can protect people and herself very well. I wish she would coming back to this show. Because just love Emily Prentiss AND Paget Brewster :D ;D xD *_*⌒.⌒♡.♡ Paget is an amazing actor 🎭 💝

When anyone wants to know: The song is called "As It Seems" and its played by Lily Kershaw !! Beautiful song...it so fits the scene. I am totally in love with Hotch/Prentiss..but as you all said I think it was that kind of scene that was especially important fort the actors and actresses..
