Criminal Minds S3E5 'Seven Seconds' REACTION

[@iriscv3261]

Everyone loves this episode. This was one of the those that made me love Emily so much, and Hotch for how much they care about what they do.

[@ym10up]

If I remember correctly, Gideon said in one episode that the single public safety awareness campaign that did the most harm is Stranger Danger, because it created a popular perception that by default people you know won't hurt you, while those two things are not correlated. Not letting your guard down should be the focus of safety education. Family ia not always safe.

[@rivervixens06]

yes, i couldn’t imagine my family would ever do that but in reality you’d never know

[@FlowingDown]

I've always thought one of the worst things about this case is the fact the Father and Uncle seem to be twins. Even with her abuser in jail there will be times Katie will see her dad and panic thinking it is her uncle, especially at night. She'd likely see him in the dark or from the corner of her eye and her memories and instincts would make her jump or flinch, therapy would be desperately needed more than it would already since she has a copy of her abuser living with her. I'd assume from then on her dad wouldn't enter her bedroom at night or in the dark so she'd have peace of mind. I don't really see the cousin as a problem child, he did something stupid to impress a girl he liked, in many cases it wouldn't have involved the police. He might end up with family or in the care system, he is unlikely to be adopted since he is older.

My first ep i watch and old enough to remember was season 4 when emily and spencer went undercover , i fell in love her character . we didnt have wifi at the time . We had that few channel tv box i forgot the name but , i use watch criminal minds and ghost whisperer on ion .

[@TimedRevolver]

There are things the dad can do, at least. Growing out facial hair, different hair style. Enough to make him look separate from her abuser.

[@dianemiller7705]

The brothers are real life twin brothers born in November 1965

[@Malkinian]

​@@TimedRevolver ​ Amazingly I've seen this episode more times than I can count but honestly never considered that being an issue. I feel like if I were her dad I'd have to change my appearance. Facial hair. Dye my hair. Glasses. Literally anything so she never sees him in me again.

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

I didn't think of that I imagine that has happened in real life too I wonder how they treat that kind of trauma

[@jamiekopmann8877]

You jumped so hard when her pulse started it looked like your soul left your body. This is just one of the episodes that pulls you in

[@seochangbinsarms]

Emily was literally amazing in this episode, she’s one of my favorite characters

[@chrisgomez1840]

ikr especally when she shows Susan de doll n told her"dis is how Katie sees herself dirty,unloved"

[@Anna-B]

I LOVE this episode! It’s one of my favorites. I always feel bad for Jeremy…

[@arrionna]

this is also one of my favorites !!

[@haleyweirdwolf]

Ya , this one epi that alyways pop in my mind that does not have one of the well known unsubs

[@shardonayM]

Yep the people most likely to hurt your kids are close family members, great episode with amazing acting and relatable themes

[@priincess.2488]

For me Hotch, Emily and Morgan were my top this episode. Morgan understanding after being in a situation himself understanding the signs of someone who is being mol***ted. Hotch and Emily just not letting either parent breath or think just pounding them until they just revealed the truth. The fact that they didn’t feel any remorse for their actions towards a little child that nonetheless is a family member 😡

[@Lrodpotato]

100% agree. And I think what triggers me even more about this episode is the molestation by the Uncle. Who's not just her uncle but her dad's identical twin brother. They would literally look the same in her eyes. It's just sickening to think what would go through a child's mind in that kind of situation.

[@trinitybernhardt9944]

I feel so bad for both kids. Katie is gonna be so messed up for such a long time, but so is Jeremy. He was innocent. I think he was in deep denial about his mom. He never wanted his cousin to suffer. I do worry that he could end up alone, but I honestly can't imagine anything that would get me to turn on my nieces and nephew. They are not their parents, so unless I found out Jeremy had hurt Katie... the emotions are gonna be a powder keg no matter what, though.

[@myasuniverse1327]

the way you reacted to when Emily was talking crap to the Aunt was how i reacted. I was like yesss the fight of her words

[@alexiltempo]

You would think that sick bastard (uncle/ twin brother of the girl's father) is awful human(?) being. But his wife...I would say she's even worse for blaming six years old child and making excuses for her husband to keep him by her side. She's sick too.

[@gurglequeen433]

Not oy did she blame Katie, but she enabled the abuse. She knew it was happening and did nothing to stop it.

[@ArikaNrazzle]

This is one of those episodes that really sticks with me. It's so well done. Heartbreaking, but fantastic.

[@Gadeberg90]

Only two were involved. The only thing the kid did was not keeping an eye on her because he played a game and a girl showed him a little attention. It was the aunt that ripped the necklace off because the uncle gave it to her. And what will happen to the kid, he will most likely be adopted by his aunt and uncle, so Katie's parents, since they are most likely closest family.

[@oh7henry]

Jeremy lied to protect his mom. He heard her and Katie interact. That's why he had his little freak out session during questioning.

[@xkindredxsoulsxxx4195]

@@oh7henryI actually don't think he lied. I think he was in denial and suppressing something that was too much for him. Even if it was a conscious lie though, I can't blame him. He's a young kid and this whole situation is a lot and that's his Mom. Probably on some level he doesn't even believe his mom would hurt her really.

[@oh7henry]

@@xkindredxsoulsxxx4195 he admits it at the end of the episode when he is talking to Morgan as his parents are being put into police cars.

[@ayselengin1798]

Saddest part is cases like this more common than we think...unfortunately and feel bad for Jeremy and other family..they deserve better (also mother s behavour is perfectly understandable since she was in pain so.)

[@GABISNAIL]

That scene with Prentiss lives rent free in my mind, holy crap

[@heathergagnon5125]

This episode gives me the creeps. An uncle doing that to his niece and the aunt blames the victim then takes advantage of all the family's trust and another ones tragedy to get rid of the girl that she saw as the problem. It's so gross and makes my skin crawl. That said it is still an amazing showing for our team, everyone gets something to do. Reid with the cousin, Morgan putting together the pieces on what was being done to Katie, Hotch and Emily really digging into the parents/ suspects and more, especially when they clearly just got to Katie in time.

[@jxstified7558]

What's even worse that I just thought about re-watching this is that the dads are twins and the uncle molested her so now every time she sees her dad she sees her abuser...wtf.

[@lolalo6344]

Just FYI bedwetting in children who didn't have that problem before is a sign of SA So is any defacing of things ment to portray themselves (dolls, clothes sometimes their own hair)

[@bryanmcdonough3558]

I feel bad for the boy in this episode

[@tswj]

The worst part is that there's real demons and monsters like this in real life

[@micheleagneta4023]

The aunt was a monster

[@nateb188]

Idk how people like the team do their job. I would’ve exploded if I found out the girls uncle was abusing her. They have a better sense of justice than me because if I found out someone was molesting a child and a family member at that I would just lost it. It’s so sad that so many children have to deal with something that they don’t even understand and can’t even begin to comprehend. Love this show and how real it can get

[@KaiLucasZachary]

This is one that's most memorable out of all the early seasons for me.

[@andiewfs_XIII]

It’s crazy how you can predict things

[@SimpleReactions]

Thank you. But its not that wild. I have a lot of TV experience and story telling. So once you have that you just think and choose where they most likely will go.

[@MoonlitBrenya]

I just watched this episode a couple of days ago, I knew you would be losing your mind with this one. Printess is MVP of this case.

[@vanessalucas4760]

This is one of those episodes that sticks with you because of how disturbing it is (there's another one kind of like it that I can't wait for you to get to). Especially clever how the writers start it out so that it's so open ended, then gradually hone in on the real suspect, and realising just how close to home it is for the victim and her family. Makes me sick every damn time. But it's such an awesome episode for how the BAU eventually reveals the truth.

[@meganhutcheson5867]

In reality, a mall would’ve called a code Adam which is named after Adam Walsh the son of John Walsh. A code Adam alerts security that a child is missing and to lock the mall down.

[@theSTRAWBERRYloverX3]

This is one of those episodes I remembered the whole plot right away but still enjoyed the horror so much. Like I still remembered it was her and why but I still felt the anxiety and anger of it all because the episode is just so good

[@snarkysquirrel]

i really like this episode. its really well done and its so tragic. that entire family is broken. i feel bad for the boy. hes not a bad kid. he stole something once. probably acting out because of his home life. but this whole family is destroyed now. i dont know how any of them process this. and yeah the boy probably went to the other family and i hope they dont put any blame on him. hes another victim in this.

[@tessabelle9711]

The two brothers in this episode are brothers in real life.

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

i think they are twins

[@uncannydolly]

i love emily!! she's by far one of my favs

[@TheVampiresrulez]

One of the memorable episodes that sticks with you

[@janabraam7963]

Little Jeremy was Cole, the boy ghost in the Supernatural 4X15, "Death Takes a Holiday" . This shit really happens. Some people are so fucked up.

[@feamactire5559]

This is one of my favorite episodes and the song at the end is amazing. I’ve been waiting for you to watch this one.

[@madee024]

This episode hurts so much

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

Great episode so many little twist that made you think is one or is other, and Prentis is good, great character.

[@MarianaCarregozacoelho]

The First time I wached this, I was so afraid that U couldn't sleep for days

[@mimisafiya4880]

This has always been one of my favourite CM episodes. It’s so heartbreaking & you don’t really know what’s going on. Emily & Hotch were great in this too

[@mr.mackey8775]

this episode is always hard to watch, but emily was a boss in this episode!!

[@Angiee3825]

im usually a silent watcher but I LOVE this episode 🤍

[@KrystalAnn0688]

Again, a favorite & most memorable episode ❤

[@haleyweirdwolf]

This on episode that dont have a well known unsubs that always pop in my mind

[@pmbramucci1056]

You are going to be pissed at this episode. But I do love the final quote.

[@talitacosta8885]

Another great reaction to a great episode. This episode always brings me to tears is so great and sad. Keep up the great work logan

[@KasaiKouhai]

I don't think that listening to metal, liking girls and playing videogames makes Jeremy a problem child, i see him not being as helpful was because he was in deep denial about his mom being the one to kidnap his cousin. So much so that it developed into an acute anxiety disorder. None of the kids here are at fault, I worry for their future if anything.

[@annaschwirian7548]

I honestly believe the aunt did it because she was jealous of the little girl

[@cjmac1777]

Emily was a g this episode

[@aliciacarley3408]

This is one of my favorite episodes.

[@mikelmcknight72]

Emily is my favorite character.

The actress that plays the mom in this does SUCH good grieving mother. She's balso In Caprica being a total mess over her child for like the entire show and it's beautiful. And, as I saw someone else state, the quote at the end of this one is a great choice.

[@chrisgomez1840]

statements dat made me sad during dis episode when watching it were "ure breaking my heart baby girl where are u going"- Morgan "n who are u wit"-Garcia "DIS IS HOW KATIE SEES HERSELF,selfloathing,dirty,disgusting"-Emily

[@spikeycat81]

The stress of this episode. Sick adult blaming a child

[@saraB94]

This was just awful..poor Katie and Jeremy.

[@scorpiongurlz89]

How exactly Jeremy involved. I don't get your train of thought.

[@pearltheodorarose4625]

He’s literally not apart of this , I don’t think he realized that .

[@sharonjoan1970]

Disturbing but Amazing Episode...and an utterly Pathetic & Despicable unsub

[@Tassiedevil127]

Jacob to Richard “😡👿YOU ARE DEAD TO THIS FAMILY!!! YOU ARE DEAD!!!”
