What impact will The Reaper continue to have on Hotch?

With what The Reaper has done, will it ruin his life? His career? Will Hotch prevail and show he's stronger, better than The Reaper? Will they catch him this season???? Do you find this valuable?

First of all,I don't think that this will ruin Hotch's life,cause he is strong, and he knows better!
I'm not saying it won't be hard for him,but he has seen so many similar cases and knows all about it... He will definitley have to face with everything that has happened to him,not to mention the feeling of guilt of putting his family in danger,not knowing where they are,and not being able to see his son anymore.
But,like I said,I think he is a strong person,and he will make it!

As for the Reaper,they will probably catch him during this season,but it's more likely for him to die than go to jail.

I don't think the Reaper's actions will ruin Hotch's life. Obviously it will impact him greatly, no matter the end result, but I still think he will come out on top. I think he will be better for this ordeal and more vigilant in his pursuit of unsubs afterward. I've never been a big fan of Hailey, but I hope this ordeal will bring them closer. I don't know that reconciliation is the best way to go, but some kind of truce should be made for themselves as well as Jack.

As far as his career goes, I wouldn't be surprised if Hotch considered taking a sabbatical once things are resolved. I don't think he will leave the BAU permanently (I hope not!), but I don't think a vacation would be remiss. And depending on how things play out, his superiors at the BAU might insist on it.

I think the 100th episode (5x09) will be one of the most significant and standout episodes in the series thus far, as well as serve to ultimately wrap up The Reaper arc. I can't wait to see what Ed has in store for us!!!
