HOTCH & I ARE EMOTIONALLY WRECKED. CRIMINAL MINDS BEST EPISODES! Season 5 Episode 9

[@araybia]

no matter how many times i watch this episode it will ALWAYS have me bawling in tears. the reaper’s menacing behavior leading up to this episode had me heated and for him to kill hailey after all this had me frustrated as hell! “i worked the case with you daddy” and jack’s precious little face brings me to instant tears 🥺

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

“I worked the case” and we’re so glad he did! 🙏

[@shania991]

omg i wanted her to somehow realize what was going on before it was to late like out of everybody you know a random dude would be the last to tell you about your ex-husband if anything the team would've told her but yeah

[@holyknight5466]

That Marshal, Sam Kassmeyer guarding them was one of the unsung heroes mentioned in the series, not telling the Reaper anything despite being tortured.

[@XenaWarrior24]

This episode has me bawling everytime. Not just how broken Hotch is, but you can see the pain on his entire team's faces as well.

[@itachileesan]

especially garcia

[@TheHopperUK]

What always sticks out to me in this episode is that Morgan walks in, sees Hotch beating the Reaper and instantly says 'he's dead' - how badly do you have to beat someone with your fists that they are obviously dead just at a glance? Hotch had so much rage in him.

[@patrickevans9604]

Im going into this episode with a positive mindset. Me: I regret to inform you that your positive mindset is gonna get smacked around in this episode

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

LOL! Smacked me all around, flipped me upside down 😭. I’m currently towards the end of S12 and it’s no better 🤧

[@patrickevans9604]

Yea this show tends to tell its viewers to get wrecked lol

[@amandasmith2399]

We kept requesting this towards you in order to help you understand what Hotch went through because of the Reaper. He lost the love of his life and almost lost Jack...had Jack not understood what his dad meant by needing help on the case. Which was code for "Go hide and don't make a sound until I find you."

[@zwoptf]

you should’ve jus let him get to it and not spoil this huge fkn story for him…

[@sarah4hp]

This episode will never fail to break my heart and make me sob, both because of grief and pain for Hotch with regards to Hailey, and insane relief over Jack being okay because of Hotch knowing how to tell him to hide in their special place. This series is just amazing, and I LOVE all of the members of the team so freaking much.

[@MelaniePoparad]

This is one of my favorite episodes. It’s gut wrenching but so good. I love the back and forth of the story telling.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Right! Great episode. I was like what’s happening and in the end…

[@shania991]

When I say till this day this episode has me STRESSED you never see hotch that broken and that PISSED I hate Haley died I wanted her to somehow know like if anybody would tell you about hotch knowing what they mean to each other why would the Marshell call and not the team but omg wasn't it satisfying when he beat him with his bare hands loved that and even though it was sad as you go on you see how he and Jack got even closer, and you come to like Strauss as the seasons go on she isn't all bad I ended up liking her just like the rest of them she had her demons also.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

I loved the a$$ beating he gave the Reaper. I needed him to let it out

[@justbean77]

Can I just say how much I appreciate seeing your genuine reactions? Crying, real tears? Omg I love it

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

I was going through it. Good tv will do that to ya! :)

[@theeclownmimi4781]

When i tell you this episode had me on the edge of my seat had me stress, emotional all the feelings

[@GingerSnapped14]

Why did I watch this before work?? I can't watch this episode without crying, and I've seen it dozens of times.

[@AmandaSteckel-jc1ui]

This episode left us all emotionally wrecked

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

I’m still recovering to this day! 😢

[@elisabet86]

The first time I saw this episode, it completely broke me. Watching the team listen to Hotch telling his son to help him with the case and then hearing The Reaper shooting Hailey.

[@ddarkbloom8330]

I told myself I'd never watch this episode again (or Moseley Lane) but I did it for your reactions (for both 😭). Just needed to cry over this episode with someone who gets the feels.

[@holyknight5466]

It was one of the best episodes, but it was one of those episodes that made me cry.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Sameee

[@meganlynn83]

Criminal Minda is one of my favorite television shows of all time! 🖤

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Quality TV!

[@SanDeeMcGeek]

hands down the most brutal episode in all of criminal minds to watch. gets me everytime!

[@babarazamsucks]

I’m so happy someone finally reacted to this episode. I wanted to do so some time ago but now I see that you recently did. I just rewatched it again this time on Netflix though before they take it off there and am glad to see that this happened to be the most recent one you reacted to. That right there is how I reacted to this as well.

[@Emiigiirl]

Not even 1 minute into the video and you got me cracking up !🤣🤣 Yes, WE are members of the BAU! The episode itself is sooo sad, I was crying along with you, but your commentary is just gold!

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Look, after all the cases we’ve helped solved as consultants, where’s our FBI job offer?! 🧐

[@tawniforston894]

The way you kept saying “positive thinking” and “everything will be fine” it’s 100% not fine

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

I wish it was! 😭😭

[@jo.s7993]

This was heart breaking the first time seeing it on TV, & still is today. In fact this is only the second time I've been able to rewatch these scenes & the tears are flowing again. Hotch was never the same again, & I don't remember ever seeing him laugh again. I've less sympathy for Thomas Gibson following his conduct behind the scenes.

[@XenoTUF]

I've been waiting for you to react to this episode!!! ❤️❤️❤️ It gutted me too 😭😭😭

[@lifewithkendall1259]

yess please continue watching theses

[@Mellie160]

Did not expect to end the day in tears but here we are. I'm a new sub, keep up the great work!

[@NeaNomad]

Don't worry we are sobbing right along with you 😭

[@taylorharris7713]

So glad you reacted to this episode! I appreciate you trying to have a positive mindset 😂. It’s a heartbreaker but it’s so good.

[@BrianaMichelleMeyer]

I’m doing my rewatch right now, almost to this episode actually and oh boy. There are soooo many emotions with this episode.

[@TekaylaTinee]

yes we are members of the BAU! This is one of my favorite shows and I’m actually a new subbie and recently binge watched your “ CM” playlist. Please don’t let this be the last criminal minds upload friend lol

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Welcome! Look, you & I are going to be having it up in between cases at the BAU office. More CM’s on the way!

[@brendenslock290]

I remember watching this for first time years ago can’t wait for more reaction bud keep it up

[@jessiealves138]

Keep watching it’s so worth it

[@user-yv9vw6gq8c]

I love your heart and soul dude

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

So kind of you. Thank you 🙏

[@user-yv9vw6gq8c]

@@KOFI_ESCAPES just telling it how I see it . Be blessed man .

[@angelblues92304]

I still do exactly what you did during this episode. It’s one of the best. Haileys death was traumatic but Hodge took that fool out!!! It was awesome and I cried the first time and I still cry after watching it a 100 times.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

A great dramatic, emotional episode. Still think about it to this day, I’m finishing up S11 right now.

[@babetteafiokbol6848]

It is the most heartbreaking episode ever... In any tv show...

[@Barbz_03]

I cried my eyes out watching this episode

[@priincess.2488]

Every time I watch this episode I’m in tears and the first time I watched this was alone 😭 I was thinking there’s no way their doing that to Hailey 😢

[@aliasarwar3723]

Loved your reaction! You should do a react to Lauren!! Emily has a huge storyline in season 6 and that’s the final episode of that storyline. It’s so good!

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

I love Prentiss. Most definitely

[@FirstNameLastName-wt5to]

I cried then and again just now.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Aw. I’m sorry lol. I still think about this episode and I’m reaching the end of season 6

[@gurglequeen433]

It has been years since I first saw this episode, and it still makes me irrationally angry that nobody ever gave Hailey a picture of Foyette. How was she supposed to protect herself and Jack if she didn't know who to look out for?

[@chrisstephens4079]

Emotional damage

[@Bayougirl78]

One of the best episodes, but also one of the hardest to watch.

[@heatherchapman2159]

I now blame C Thomas Howell for every bad thing that happens in any movie/show he is in… because he killed Hailey.

[@jackinabox93]

I knew what was going to happen and was doing fine and then I wasnt lol. Omg I cried so hard again thinking about being a mom nd the idea of that being the last hug she ever gets to give her son.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

This episode will get me everytime! Saaaaddddd

[@y2kchristy]

after constantly expecting something bad, this time you choosing to be positive this ep and not believing anything was gonna happen fr and it actually does this time...

[@zwoptf]

hotch had to call him what else could they do jus sit😭🤣

[@ruthbarchilonriano3881]

Dios cada que veo algo relacionado con este capitulo no puedo evitar quebrarme y llorar como bebe. 😭😭😭😭

[@AtomicVampire1]

Good news, Criminal Minds is coming back to TV. Some of the cast will be returning.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

I heard. Super exciting. Still catching up. I’m on Season 6 lol

[@powerof3ozzyluver2]

This episode had me so upset

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

You and me both. Still hurt 😔

[@AlysonMahon314]

This is where I stopped watching the show’s original run. I ended up going back and finishing it after a long hiatus, but what happened to the Hotchners broke me.

[@shania991]

I know this is crimal minds but have you hear of heathers a must watch walked so mean girls could run starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater and they are amazing in this if you haven't seen it you should maybe put it on your list i would love to see your reaction to this teen/comedy/thriller?

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

I’ve seen the Off-Broadway Musical. Music is fire. Movie reaction perhaps 🤔

[@shania991]

@@KOFI_ESCAPES it’s a must watch the fashion in the movie you will LOVE

[@zwoptf]

i wish ppl didn’t spoil this for u they suck for that

[@amywonderland9297]

Okay I paused like two seconds in. Why the hell did people tell you ahead of time what was going down this episode? Really? Come on.

[@marykay8587]

I must be cold hearted because this episode didnt move me as much as other episodes, i dont know why but i believe its because i wasnt as close to his wife

[@deannatowns2546]

A 4 year old getting a gun if pretty wild of you to say. But a good reaction nonetheless

[@kiwikiwi5671]

I cried my eyes out.... but at the same time I couldn't stand her character so I was low-key happy

[@pathetic_fucker2202]

How come the other videos of you reacting to Criminal Minds are exclusive?🥲 I loved your reactions to it.
