The Fox


Synopsis:
The BAU profiles a serial killer who takes families hostage and lives with them as a father figure during what is supposed to be their family vacations.

Best Moments Between Characters:
  • In the beginning when the team is meeting Hotch's newborn son, Jack.

Best Lines:
  • (discussing Hotch's newborn son)
    JJ: "He's so gorgeous."
    Haley Hotchner: "Thank you."
    Reid: "If you find baldness and wrinkles attractive."
  • Garcia: "We have to stop meeting like this Reid, people will talk but then talk is cheap."
    Reid: "Not when your talking to a therapist."
  • Gideon: "I like this house. Designer magazines conspicuously placed, expensive modern furniture, plasma TV. Behind the curtains, water damage. Allison spent money on the things her friends could see and neglected those they couldn't. The Crawfords lived beyond their means."

  • Gideon: (discussing the killer) "Tells the mother, 'If you scream, I'll kill your children.' Tells the children, 'If you cry, I'll kill Mommy.' "

  • Morgan: "Suspect's cell is going straight to voice mail."
    Dr. Rachel Howard: "Karl's a good man."
    Morgan: "That's what everybody says until they find a body in the basement."
    (Gideon turns the door knob)
    Gideon: "It's locked."
    Dr. Rachel Howard: "I'll get security."
    Morgan: "No. We don't have time for that."
    (Morgan kicks down the door)
    Dr. Rachel Howard: "Someone will have to pay for that."
    Morgan: "Karl Arnold will."

The turning point in the investigation:
When Garcia hacks into their medical records and discovers each family has been going for therapy.

Whodunit?
Karl Arnold, a family therapist. He had been divorced for 5 years and had a daughter and a son. He took the divorce hard so he targeted families that were going away on vacation so he could live the "perfect family" life and then he killed the children and the wives and made the husbands watch to remind them they are not strong enough. He took their wedding bands as "trophies". In the end, Hotch found a box with the rings and they discovered 8 wedding bands, but only 3 families had been found dead.
