The BAU joins the manhunt in Sherwood, Nevada, to catch a serial killer who conceals the manner of his crimes by staging car accidents.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)I do not know but something made this episode little cold for me - in some point it just felt the story is developing little too slow. It was sure that they do not get the couple before the end and so, the tension they were building was wrong as the culmination was already known. This story would have needed little twist in the end and sadly it did not happened - the couple was saved, Hotchner had to face fact that he interviewed the unsub and did not realized even if there was some hints... it all goes by...
They have had more exciting and better episodes.
In this episode of Criminal Minds the following happens. The team is sent on a case which has 6 victims (3 couples) all in separate accidents. All of the couples were placed in a car and placed in the middle of the road and death looks like it happened when the car was crashed into by a truck (in all 3 cases). The team soon learn that all victims were dead before the crash and they believe that a serial killer is on the loose. We see a couple going into a motel, and we soon see that someone is watching them. The public is led to believe that all three were accidents and that they have no connection. The couple soon learn that they are been watched and start to plan to leave. As they start to leave they find themselves locked inside of their room. And soon all of the windows have covers over them, there is no way out. The team soon find out about the missing couple, after they fail to return home. The team learn that none of the female victims were wearing underwear when they died. They soon learn that the killer can get in and out of their room at any moment He quickly enters and attacks the Husband; he then goes after the wife.
The team go to all of the local hotels and motels looking for the missing couple. Hotch soon realises that he interviewed the man who has the couple and the team head straight back there. The team turn up as he is torturing the couple. They find the couple but the killer has run. Hotch & Morgan chase after him and just as they are about to catch him, he is hit by a truck. He is killed instantly. The episode is eerily similar to Vacancy (2007 movie), but it's still a good episode.
but I would have prefer they keep to the facts when asked Garcia goes on telling about this fantastic town of Sherwood and later the wife states that she told murderer that she toldfamily they were staying in Sherwood the actual truth is Sherwood is a ghost town Today, only mine dumps mark where Sherwood was once a mining camp during 1887 and 1888. Only 15 miners every made there home at Sherwood. Most chose to live in more comfortable surroundings in nearby Union. The mines closed after the shallow ore deposits were emptied and no one has lived there since.
Straight out of a horror movie! hide show
This was like it came straight from a horror movie. And that it showed for the very first time. The team really didn't need the public's help. Just like they are used to doing. And that they wanted to investigate it right away. It was like the movie from "Pyscho!" Where guests check on in. But they don't check on out. Shows what is going to happen to the unlikely couple turn victims next. The BAU must stop this. But find a wierd bunch of people from the woods. Probably they didn't want to help the BAU. You could get that feeling.

I think this was one of the first cases, at least that I can recall, that they didn't want the public's help. Directly anyway. Hence our team finds themselves looking for a needle in the haystack and they've got to do it the hard way. I loved watching the reaction of Ian when he realized the danger of the situation. When all was said and done, I believe Abby and Ian loved each other and would work as a team to survive. Floyd Hanson's demise via being hit by an 18 wheeler was definite karma. Some of the things that stood out for me in this epsiode was despite his on screen presence being minimal, he I think came really close to James Van Der Beek's Tobias Hankel. The other thing that stood out in this episode was Aaron showing that he's not perfect, that he is human and capable of making mistakes.
