This episode is so good. I enjoy both the storylines going on, they're both really upsetting and it's just done so well imo. I usually prefer when the Team is all together working the same case, but I do enjoy when there are one or two of them working a different one. Keri is so strong though. Going through all that. And the fact that she remembered what JJ and Emily told her about if she was alone with him, and played along as best she could. It's always so hard to watch when they've gotta do that because we KNOW they don't want it, we KNOW they're no enjoying it, or actually consenting. But seeing them have to play along instead of being able to do something to stop it is just so heartbreaking and so real. Because you can't always just fight back, a lot of the time these guys are stronger than you. I've never been in any situation like that, but I know I wouldn't be able to fight back, but I don't know that I'd be able to play along either. I think BOTH show a lot of strength, and yet when someone plays along it's more likely that they'll look back on it and think "I could've fought back." or "I could've stopped it sooner." But that's just not true. It's really horrible. And having to go through basically her whole life for 2 years. That's so unfair. I completely understood Garcia's discomfort with it. I also feel bad for Ryan. He was clearly so worried, and the fact that the guy starting copying his look to try winning Keri over. That must be horrible. And as for the abortion thing. I always have such mixed feelings in situations like this. Because at the end of the day, it's the woman's body and so it's her choice what she does with it. But, I do believe that if you're in a committed relationship with someone, and you get pregnant with their child but you want an abortion, it's something they do deserve to know about. Especially if it'd been made clear that you do both want kids. Now, I don't believe that you HAVE to tell ANYONE. But I do think that when it comes to committed relationships, both parties deserve to know. If it's like a hookup, or even a relationship that you don't really see going anywhere, I don't think there's any obligation to tell anyone. But in marriage, Idk, it just feels like something to be honest about. That said, I do understand Keri's reasoning, that she didn't want him to drop everything with his job for the baby. But if that was the only reason, should he not have had a say in it? If it was also because SHE wasn't ready to have a baby or go through a pregnancy, then no he doesn't get a say. But if the only reason is that you don't want your partner to give up a job? What if he wanted a family more than the job? At the end of the day, it was her choice and I do not fault her or any other woman who makes that choice for it. I haven't ever been in that situation either, so I can't understand it. But I do always try to think about both sides of these things. And it does often make me sad to think about. Hotch and Rossi's case. That broke my heart. That poor woman. That abuse was awful, psychological abuse always is. Any kind is of course, but there's something about psychological abuse that just really upsets me. And the fact that she cleaned up the blood because she knew her husband would be angry if anyone saw the mess. So fucked up... And the kids. In a way, I feel for them too. It's how they were raised. They weren't even trying to hide the abuse, because they didn't think it was abuse. They'd had it drilled into them that SHE was the abuser, that she was the bad guy. It's all they knew. What they knew was that their Mother didn't attend any games or school events for them, and their Father was there for them for everything. And then suddenly she's taking away their Father who they adored. They couldn't factor in the abuse, because they didn't know it was abuse because it was drilled into them since they were kids. In a way, were they not abused too? Their Dad was gaslighting them, wasn't he? To think that their Mother not being able to cook or clean was abuse, and to think that she couldn't cook or clean, even though it's very clear she could clean very well and was very organised because she HAD to be. So yeah, were the kids not technically abuse victims too? They were robbed of a good relationship with their Mum and it's actually really sad... :( And JJ is pregnant! Yay! This whole thing with her and Will was actually because AJ was pregnant IRL. From what I've heard, they weren't supposed to actually go past that first episode he appeared in, but then AJ got pregnant and they needed to introduce a love interest to make sure it made sense that she would get pregnant, so they brought him back last episode and revealed they'd been seeing each other since that first episode he appeared in. Hotch and Rossi's conversation about marriage and children was good too. It's kinda sad tbh. Rossi feeling that had he had kids with any of his wives, he might've tried harder to salvage their marriage. And Hotch kinda taking it to mean that he didn't think he put the effort in, which I don't think he was. I think it was more Rossi saying he hadn't really tried to save any of his marriages, but would've had there been kids involved. Whereas Hotch took it personally because of his recent divorce from Haley, and how the job takes up so much of his time. Rossi definitely knows Hotch is a good father to Jack. It's really sad though, what Hotch is going through... :(
