Thomas Gibson: Aaron Hotchner

Quotes 

• Derek Morgan : We believe that the unsub that we're looking for is a woman who's trying to get pregnant. She's experiencing what we call black widow maternal desire. She has a desperate need for a child, which most likely stems from the recent loss of one.

  Alex Blake : That child may have died or been taken away in a custody situation.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : She's drugging her male victims in order to keep them under her control for forty-eight hours, and we believe she's using them as breeding partners to help replace the child that she lost.

  David Rossi : Her victims are surrogates for a male figure in her life. One she may have already killed. He could be a boyfriend or husband who most likely fathered the child she lost.

  Aaron Hotchner : And the signs of torture indicate that she may blame the child's father for this loss and is exacting her revenge on these victims.

  Alex Blake : After they're dead, she dismembers them for easier disposal.

  Derek Morgan : The strength required to do this, and transport body parts, it's likely that she's working with a submissive partner she dominates with her agenda.

  David Rossi : Based on the sophistication and patience required for these crimes, we believe this unsub is probably in her thirties and no older than her early forties, if pregnancy is her goal.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : And she works at night, luring victims from parties or bars. She may even have an illness, or feign one to gain their sympathy.

  Aaron Hotchner : Chad Dumont's been missing for almost thirty hours, and if the unsub keeps to her schedule, he may still be alive. But time is of the essence.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Even though the first two victims are dead, we can certainly step up our game so we can give the victims' families some answers

  Aaron Hotchner : Thank you.
