Reid is the one!

Warning: Spoilers
Reid shows such range in this episode. He does the usual providing facts with context he takes on other roles too. He confronts the father of the unsub and is gentle and compassionate to one of the most sympathetic unsubs.

The literal living dolls the unsub obtains makes for a creepy but entertaining episode. You can just imagine what is going through the minds of the women as they watch the woman who took them.

Hotch is easing back into the role of leader . He's initially quite involved but is unseen in the final third of the episode in fact only Reid and Rossi have much to do in the later part which I enjoyed.

The bookends of the episode have Reid returning to playing chess which he at had played with Gideon. He explains to a chess buddy how Gideon's departure affected him and his deeper understanding of the game.
