Viewers were introduced to Kate Callahan on Criminal Minds Season 10 Episode 1, a premiere that spent a lot of time on the addition of Jennifer Love Hewitt to the show's cast.
But Criminal Minds Season 10 Episode 2 honed in on a veteran member of the BAU squad, Garcia was clearly having a tough time dealing with the fact that she shot Greg Bailer... even though he was trying to kill her and Spencer in the hospital and all.
She's been having recurring nightmares about the incident.
In order to move on, Garcia wanted to actually visit the man and clear her conscious, though Morgan tells her to write him a letter instead.
She responds that she's tried writing him in prison, but it hasn't helped. She needs the in-person sit-down. Morgan doesn't approve in any way, however, saying Bailer is a killer and doesn't deserve any of her energy.
But, come on. Did you really think this would stop Garcia?
She ends up taking some personal time to try to wrap head around what happened, causing concern for Reid. He asks Morgan about it and he responds by telling him about the guilt Garcia is dealing with over the shooting.
He then gets personal himself and admits that he felt the same way after his first shooting. Until he realized that the victim was not a good person.
Garcia, of course, does end up seeing Greg, who is on death row and who has 10 hours to live. None of his friends or family members have shown up and he doesn't want to be alone for the lethal injection. Would Garcia attend the event?
She agrees and Greg's final words are "thank you," giving Garcia the closure she needs and bringing to an end one seriously emotional episode.
Give Criminal Minds props for going above the norms of a procedural here. We rarely see the after-effects of a shooting play out in such a manner and it helped this episode stand out from most of the dramatic fare on CBS. Well done.
