Season: 4 Episode # 3 Original Air Date: October 8, 2008


Minimal Loss


Synopsis:
When Prentiss and Reid go undercover to investigate possible child abuse at an underground cult, they get trapped inside the compound when a federal raid on the fortress goes bad.


Best Moments Between Characters:
  • On the plane ride home Prentiss explaining to Reid that it wasn't his fault, and that she made the decision herself to come forward and be the FBI Agent.
  • When Prentiss was being beaten by Cyrus, she kept saying that she could take it so that Hotch and the team would not endanger themselves by coming in too early.

Best Lines:

  • Garcia: "Ah, we got bupkiss. It's like the guy never cast a shadow on the known universe. However his predecessor, Leo Cane, is doing a 17-year prison sentence. Apparently Libertarians do not like paying taxes."
    Morgan:
    "17 years for tax evasion?"
    Garcia:
    "Oh no, that'd be 2 years for tax evasion and 15 for going after four IRS-agents with a Louisville slugger."

The turning point in the investigation:
When Prentiss got one of the cult's women to confess to making the initial phone call. Then they were able to safely go forward with the raid.


Whodunit?
Benjamin Cyrus (aka Charles McGrew), the leader of the compound.

This episode was disturbing but i still think it is a very good one. Poor Emily she got outbeat by a guy, there was nothing she could have done. How sad

(spoilers??)

I absolutely loved this episode. I thought it was a great. I wasn't such a fan of Mayhem, Angel Maker was pretty good and now - amazing. Luke Perry was spot-on. Strangely, I wasn't thinking "90210" the whole time he was on. Also, the interaction between his character and Reid was perfect. At one point, I thought Reid was going to join the commune, they got along so "well." JJ was really showing this episode, too, for someone who was wondering about that last time around. I have noticed that her scenes are few and far between, though...

Whatever happened to Hotch's hearing problems? Apparently spending a few days in the countryside is the new miracle cure-all!
