"In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years." – Abraham Lincoln
Airing on April 14, 2010, Season 5, Episode 9—simply titled —wasn't just a milestone. It was a thesis statement for the entire series. Here is why this script remains the gold standard for procedural tragedy. The Setup: The Devil You Know To understand the gravity of the script, you have to look at the villain. The writers didn't bring in a random UnSub for the 100th episode. They brought back George Foyet (C. Thomas Howell), aka "The Reaper."
10/10 (And one broken coffee mug for Hotch). Did you recover from this episode? Or do you still skip it during re-watches? Let me know in the comments below.
