My rewatch notes from this heavy episode. The team travels to Virgina after skeletons were found in a family's backyard which leads to past deep racial divides.

• I know Rossi is the member that leaves the rest of the team on read
• Something about Hotch running in a suit gets me sweaty
• I'm calling it now, they're all involved!
• These are my favorite types of episodes, family crimes
• THEY WERE BEATEN TO DEATH???
• This family exposé is about to be wild
• Notice how the mom listed the son's name before her husband's. So she's closer to him or covering for him? (I've been watching way too much of this show lol look at me trying to profile)
• Hotch: "Leave him. We're just getting started." Okay dzaddy
• YOUR SON THREW A TV AT YOU??
• Not Reid knowing the meds just by looking at it
• Hmmm I don't think Lyle did it. I smell a family mystery scented rat
• Damn Charles is ice cold
• Something about his "I hate fish" line is hilarious
• Rossi please say sike
• Another body??? Charles my brother in Christ what were you doing
• Charles' reaction to seeing Derek is hilarious I'm sorry
• Damn I feel so bad for Charles now oh my god
• ANOTHER BOMBSHELL?? LYLE ISN'T HIS CHILD WHEW
• Strange fruit is a heartbreaking song and I get chills every time I hear it
• Ah! Rossi it was true??? Oh my God. I don't know what to believe.

10/10

This is a very interesting episode about the lasting social impacts of racism - the amount of rage the dad carried with him, while not justifying the crimes, makes so much sense. Obviously this is me speaking as an outsider. Very good episode though.
