A delayed brain dump from my ongoing rewatch. In this episode, three kids are abducted near a cornfield which leads to the unraveling of a cold case of twins who also went missing in that same cornfield.

• Running through a cornfield in THE DAYTIME seems like it could be a fun activity
• The "UFO" light transition was great!
• I too would carry a little plastic bag filled with pancakes everywhere I go if I could 
• THEY'RE DISCUSSING HOTCH'S DEPARTURE I'M SOBBING
• I know his exit from the show had so much drama surrounding it so I really appreciate them giving him a somewhat solid exit in his absence. His character wasn't tarnished and the story actually makes sense.
• I'm gonna need some time but my little Emily heart is happy 😭
• This episode is shaping up to be a goodie!
• I really appreciate the constant mention of Hotches exit man. Oof. It makes the suddenness feels less shocking (even though I knew it was coming lol)
• Please the little short films that the kids made is so funny and adorable 😭
• Supportive rich uncle Rossi <3
• Not gonna lie, the "I love you" was a little bit of a jump scare
• I'm gonna need y'all to dial down the tough cop approach with sweet Mr Jimmy!
• I just read that the end quote of the episode was previously read by Hotch in season 4 and now I'm in a pile on the floor crying
• WE LOVE UNIT CHIEF EMILY IN THIS HOUSEHOLD 😭😭😭

9/10

This episode ate!!! I loved the horror(?) elements. Farewell officially my beloved Hotch.
