(edit)
The song featured in the scene as Rossi and Reid were going through the unsub's notes was "Sweet Beliefs" by Cyann & Ben.
(edit)
Rossi: Find the fetish, find the fiend.
(edit)
Special Agent Jill Morris: That's great, stuff guys. Keep me posted. (walks away)
Morgan: (to Reid) She does know we don't work for her, right? (edit) Garcia: Yahtzee! (edit) Rossi: (voiceover as he walks away from Morris and the reporters) "For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world, and, although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won." Lucille Maud Montgomery. (edit) Rossi: (reluctantly) She didn't get the hair from the unit.
Hotchner: She lied?
Rossi: (nods)
Hotchner: When were you going to tell us?
Rossi: Whatever she did to get us here, we're here now.
Hotchner: (angry) It's unacceptable behavior, why do you keep defending her?
Rossi: Because I know what she is. She's me 20 years ago.
Hotchner: She's nothing like you, Dave!
Rossi: C'mon, Hotch, I know what people think. I took serial killers mass market. Now everyone knows their names, but not the victims', right? Somewhere along the line I put myself first. I admit it. I can't go back and change it. But it's not too late for her. (edit)

The Books on Tape foundation trilogy to which Reid refers does not exist. Peter Coyote has narrated many audio books, but Asimov's Foundation Trilogy has never been released. A copy of the BBC radio production is available, but not the books.

Special Agent Jill Morris: What are you going to do, vote me off the island?
This line refers to the CBS series Survivor, where contestants are voted off in order to determine the ultimate winner.

LimelightPerfect "Revealing" A Young Agent that reminds Rossi of himself at her age fakes some evidence to get the BAU involved. She is however a little too interested in the "limelight" as well as getting a killer off the streets, and almost gets herself killed in the process. Continue » Posted Jan 30, 2008 3:30 pm PST |

LimelightSuperb "Above average" Good episode kept me engaged and had some real edge of your seat moments. It was good to get a Rossi mentor/self evaluation episode. On that note the reckless agent was perfect. She was everything Rossi was a media hog who cared Continue » Posted Jan 29, 2008 11:11 am PST |
