[@caitlinlopez7027]

I was definitely on Spencer's side especially when he called JJ Jennifer and hated her for a little bit when she made the comment that his profiling skills failed him because he couldn't read Aaron or her. What really should have made them feel guilty was if he had relapsed and gone back to using Dilaudid again as a result of their lies. It sucked that they didn't let Spencer be mad at them longer although I did love the Heid moment that we got where Spencer told Aaron he couldn't be mad at him as he didn't show up to his home crying for 10 weeks.

[@ethansutherland3786]

I don't know if I am thinking too much into this but it kinda seems like jj knew exactly how reid would react and needed him to vent and worked out the best way to do it.

[@knightsofren1742]

I just watched the episode again and it still amazes me that JJ expected Reid to just forgive her like nothing happened. “Hey I was hoping to do brunch this weekend, even though Hotch and I lied to you for 10 months but let’s act like everything is cool between us.” They played with this kids emotions knowing that he was still feeling the loss even after Prentiss came back. In my opinion, this beef with Reid and the team should’ve lasted like another couple of episodes.

[@reginaldwilliams5175]

Agreed with the possibility that Reid might suggest leaving the BAU cause if that happened to me I would be so mad that I would at least have it last til season 8 episodes 12 & 13 but that's me

Agreed and the fact that Emily “claimed” she lost 6 friends after Reid buried her body. It was just a big F U to Reid and anybody that sympathizes with her I get it that in that line of work in TV DRAMA it would be a dramatic tool but in the real world now anyone who use staged suicide or death scenarios should might have as well be dead because if you betray my trust and make me believe that you’re dead #GTFO

[@abbyhoffer5041]

I agree. It doesn’t seem right that only Reid was upset in “Proof”. Sure Rossi may have now and maybe Garcia was just focusing on the happy, but Morgan and Reid both had great reasons to be affected for weeks if not longer.

[@natstephens82]

Morgan had dealt with a significant death of a family member so maybe knowing that someone had come back was easier for him to accept than it was for Reid.

If he did go back on his drug addiction they wouldn't have done anything not even J.J since they all knew what he was going through the first time and did nothing. But the way JJ acted like she was in the right all the time and always shut down Reid for getting angry, showing he isn't aloud to be angry at something they couldn't avoid and couldn't tell made me mad. Yes, they didn't tell anyone, but getting angry at Reid of all people (which this always makes me think he might be on the spectrum of how he acts. And a lot of geniuses have shown that they could've also been on the spectrum) for showing his emotions and how he felt, which was rare after season 2. I get why he was only mad at her and not a Hotch, because she went to him for weeks while he was crying over losing a friend, Hotch didn't do that. But I do agree with you.

[@prisci.m19]

It’s like when she came back everyone was forced to just forget about it. And in the end Emily was the one who felt more affected, therefore left.

[@reginaldwilliams5175]

I love this series and I know their intentions was to protect Emily but anyone who went "Off Grid" because of personal trauma of a past life... You should never abandon your friends from your new life and handle your dark past alone with old friends from your past. Spencer Reid was betrayed indefinitely and had every right to be mad at JJ because She and Hotch were in on it and she have the nerve to go after him by his profiling skills, he trusted her with his life and could've went to his Dilaudid addiction again but the real pain was the fact that JJ, Hotch, and Emily claimed that "they had no choice" Everyone has as choice but; Prentiss: She chosed to take on her dark past alone which followed back home. Hotch: Made the decision to stage her death and hid it from their team. JJ: Kept it from the one person that who trusted her, and she attacked claiming that Spencer "couldn't manage our perception so you couldn't detect our deception" If I was Reid I would go ballistic telling her what said but I would be claiming that Prentiss is dead and that stranger is talking to Derek is not her. I would also mad at everyone else thinking how can they live on thinking they could move on but I won't. They might say "Sorry" loudly and consistently as they want, I don't know if I could but I will never forget!!

You all know how much JJ cares for Reid. They are best friends for god sake. We know if she could tell him she would. But to keep one friend safe yes she had to lie. I agree JJ shouldn’t have said what she did but she’s also frustrated. I was upset with what happened but I also understood why. How would you feel if someone was out to kill you, if you had the means to fake your death and start new would you? I would. Losing my old life is worth not losing my life life.

Yes I agree with this. He has a right to be upset, but ppl need to stop being so mad at JJ bc she and hotch did what they had to do to keep her safe. It was a sucky situation all around but it had to be done. I understand what she said wasn’t the best but to be honest he should’ve put that aside just for a bit and worked the case instead of making passive aggressive comments while on the job. I would be frustrated too. And the thing about the dialudid wasn’t right to say either in my opinion too bc it was like he was essentially guilt tripping her as to say well if u would’ve told me I wouldn’t have thought about it so it’s your fault I almost did which isn’t really fair bc she already still feels survivor’s guilt over the Tobias situation. So I say that to say that his feelings are justify but ppl gotta stop being so harsh on JJ as well.

My take on this is that both sides have valid points. I don't think JJ's the bad guy for doing what she felt she needed to do to keep Emily safe and I don't think Reid's the bad guy for feeling hurt and betrayed by her choices.

Every member of the team understands the need for information security, particularly in a situation where a person's life is in grave danger and the location and identity must be kept secret. Nobody should know who doesn't need to know. It's basic security. They all know it. However, it's easy to understand the concept and entirely different when those security decisions affect you. Every one of them naturally thought, at least at first, that they should've been the exception, that they needed to know. And they were all wrong. Honestly, the hardest part of this plotline was knowing that Hodge and JJ knew all along. They knew Emily was alive and yet they couldn't tell anyone about it. They had to watch their friends grieve and had to fake their own grief. And they had to know that eventually Emily would resurface and their friends would feel betrayed ... and they were right. Most of them wrongfully felt betrayed to some degree.

Me personally I would do more than give them the cold shouder I would pretend that I don't know them and when JJ made the assumption about Reid's profiling skills; BAD MOVE Reid's emotional reason explained it all although I would've have Reid show more emotion and maybe shed a tear because I felt his pain in that episode but again that's my honest opnion but I know he could never stay mad at them both but Emily should know she had friends and family there in D.C. she should never forget that and always should treasure the people that's in her life.

“Temperature suggestion” Jesus like you could come up with a better lie Aaron what a champ temperature suggestion maybe one day I’ll give you guys a temperature suggestion

[@ethanhinkle683]

Tempered, not tempurature.

[@Bobcra7]

I remember this. I always thought Reid should have took off for a while. Yes definitely be angry but took off just for a bit so he could process everything

[@christa5004]

This season should have been the one they introduced them as love interests

[@monkeygirl1057]

It annoys me when people say that they don't have a choice because that isn't true at all. People always have a CHOICE

[@lloydthomas2896]

Why did they “have no choice?”

[@AngelicusImmortus]

What is interesting is they are flapping around Reid, not for him but to assuage their own guilt. It’s interesting to watch and well written. The key thing is, someone with Reid’s mindset would never have gone to the cookery thing. He’d have shut them out for much much longer.

[@dogjmunu]

Yikes he called her Jennifer!😮

[@brandonramirez5485]

This is the difference between smart and genius. Reed stayed on topic and on the case the whole time, but he just threw jab after jab after jab absolutely laid into her.

[@bundleadjuster]

I would probably forgive them. But never again will I trust them. Any. Of. Them.

[@eriksnation231]

I feel that's a bit of a sretch cuz when a situation arise, you're going to want them.

[@salvadorbodoquecastro6594]

Que complicado és ver a Spence enfadado con J.J.Al contrario.Desbordan química por todos los poros de su cuerpo.No les hace falta hablar demasiado.Con una mirada les basta.Y por lo que yo sé,en la vida real tienen la misma complicidad.

[@zodiac4372]

Was kinda hoping with the new season that it would give the reid jj ship another chance to sail :P

“I don’t have a house I have a mansion!”

[@mindlessbarbie]

everything in this show happens way too quickly and i hate it. i totally agree with the comments about wanting to see the need for a longer season. literally when JJ got shot the team acted like they didn’t gaf. only Reid went to see her in the hospital. i hate itttt. and the fact that Hotch doesn’t show emotion

[@eriksnation231]

i feel that's a different thing cuz it happened at an causal day a work. but with the thing with Prentiss was a worse case situation.

[@Picassostrash]

I’m gonna be so real, it’s their job. regardless of them hiding it for however long or whatever a persons back story is. If it’s apart of their job description, being upset longer wouldn’t make sense for a bau type show. Maybe it’s because I am in the criminal justice/criminology world to understand that Reid was acting like a child. Y’all are just looking at it as your fav character being wronged.

[@marquisescott2576]

He should have been angrier for at least 2 episodes. He has every right to be mad at her. They are best friends. They are the closest out of everyone. She should have told him something even if she couldn’t tell him everything.

[@johnmcmanus2447]

Prentiss didn't mourn anyone. She knew her friends were alive. Her friends didn't know she was alive. And they expect Reid to just go, "oh, cool. We're good, bros, water under the bridge." For intelligent FBI agents they really were brain dead on this one

[@buckforbuck]

Of course, a Nicola Paventi production. For the gift - grazi.🎉

[@user-dl1sb7zr5v]

That’s about as clear as mud.

[@tamesagamble-adiamo6541]

It was a lesser evil to protect her n the team (real emotions of their loss n love shielded her n them) higher diff clearance of a former umbrella she thought wouldn’t come ..in the end of their emotions were real it (Reid & all) shows them & her how much they sincerely needed each other as a team n how would they survive if she truly didn’t survive

[@snafumaniac5860]

For everyone saying Emily's argument was bull "I mourned the loss of six." Yeah she wasn't talking about the BAU. She was talking about the team she investigated Doyle with. Every single person she spent years with, worked with. Everyone but one, that british dude can't remember his name. All of them were brutally murdered by Doyle for revenge and she had to watch helplessly till she snapped and went after him by herself which shows that she wasn't thinking straight. And yes Reid did have a right to feel his feelings but Emily really did have no choice at the possible risk that Doyle might come after the BAU too. It couldn't have been easy for JJ either having to watch her best friend suffer and not being able to do anything because this is in fact the life of an FBI agent when they're in witness protection. They can't have any contact with anyone lest they encite the possibility of costing their loved ones their lives. Remember what happened with Hailey? And what could've happened to Jack had he not hidden himself in the trunk? That was also a possibility that could've happened if Emily hadn't maintained radio silence at all times so I understand all perspectives on this matter which is what I think Reid understood as well at the end of the day because he knows all the agents that worked with Emily were dead and she couldn't even bury their bodies like they did with her she just had to watch and then run so she wouldn't be connected to them and end up Doyle's next victim.

[@angelwings4191]

The moment JJ loses the argument is when she decides to be incredibly callous instead of understanding. Because while they did do what they needed to, Reid and the rest were still betrayed by it. They were still being used as well. Was it a necessary evil? One could argue, but mostly yes. However, that still doesn't change that it was all lies. JJ couldn't handle being the bad guy, which is something she absolutely should've been prepared to be when dealing in a deception like this. Instead, she acted like a cheerleader who couldn't handle being put down by the nerd, so She lashed out. Reid was being passive-aggressive as hell, which he was well within his right to be, and JJ made it a pissing contest.

[@bhyphenfro]

If he really was a master cook he would have made his own pasta, not strained it, pulled it straight from the water, and mixed it with the sauce in the pan. Also the reid thing is a bummer 😂
