This episode is Kate's finale and follows 13-year-old Meg's abduction and rescue. Not Hotch's departure as I previously thought. Phew!

• Having a child in this world seems utterly terrifying. And yet, I still want a few little beans :'(
• So this isn't the season... where Hotch leaves...? Optimism and hope have returned to my soul!
• Meg is a better tween than me because if I was abducted, I would've curled up into a ball and ✨ passed away ✨
• At this point I don't give a fuck about what trauma is gonna be revealed in terms of the unsubs. FUCK Y'ALL FOR STEALING LITTLE GIRLS
• THANK GOD MARKAYLA GOT OUT ALIVE DEAR GOD
• Whew this black wig on Meg. Jail!
• And where exactly are you getting $29000 to buy a child Mr Weirdo?
• "No, because I'm upset and I need help focusing" please I love this human moment from otherwise computer robot super woman Garcia while clickety clacking away on her keyboard
• Meg is so strong and so smart. But it's incredibly saddening that she had to be this way.
• BEAT HIM UPPPPP BEAT THE UNSUB UUUPPPP ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES AND BEAT HIM UP HOTCH
• Kate and her mans are so fracking cute and supportive and they make me believe in love and partnership and healthy relationships 😭😭😭😭😭
  
• Dear God I wanted to hate Paige so much but she's so saddening
• The way these people stay in the office after cases is wild. Go home and decompress!
• JJ's preggonini?? Another little blonde child with the potential to have a New Orleans accent running around the show
• I'm quite sad they never had Kate return to the show :(

7/10

I loved Meg in this and the pacing was really good. Not one of their best finales but a good watch and a nice goodbye to solid character.
