#holly voit

[bambinafangirls]

holly was really about to do what the bau could only dream of 😭.

[silverglimse-productions]

Holly did nothing wrong. I support her fully

[darcyfangirlsfrequently]

My reaction to episode 3 of season 2 of Criminal Minds Evolution

Spoilers under the cut

"Are you okay?" Emily does that man LOOK okay?????

A deepfake porn site??? that's the big secret???? is anyone else a little disappointed???

Also there's no way voit could have said all that in such little time???

Luke: a secret will fracture the team and voit knows that and told me on purpose Emily: don't play his game then. just keep it a secret. Me: .... Huh?

Is... is this going to be the Ultimate Jemily Moment???? Is there some weird fake Jemily porn on this site which is why Emily is SO adamant JJ never find out and worried Luke looked???? If that is the case, Jemily fans I am so sorry

them managing to give Penelope a cat-related opening quote is honestly HILARIOUS

Oh, THIS is where Emily's wack-o neighbor comes in. Ofc. He was a conspiracy theorist after all

Bailey mention 😭😭😭

Oh so "that was fire" is about literal fire 🤣🤣

"Can I drink lighter fluid instead?" Babygirl you are so dramatic i love you. but please keep this energy toward tyler PLEASE

and we're back on the jet!!!

Luke looks physically uncomfortable keeping this a secret from JJ

I find it hard to believe Emily didn't know JJ already knew considering how close they used to be

This jj/luke friendship is SO important to me

Luke is babysitting 🤣🤣🤣

Luke is so awkward around those girls 😂😂😂

Sydney has a point...

I think Luke just wanted to watch anything BUT anime 🤣🤣🤣 otherwise he'll get upset

Fellow Girl Dad Luke truthers how we doing with this scene?? him teaching them to play soccer???

Luke is so smiley!!!! Like @lklvz said to me, his Adam Rodriguez is slipping out. he's such a dad!!!

Brian Garrity what's up my guyyy

They changed Brian's ex-wife's name???? In "Saturday" it was Patricia and now it's Sheila

Me, the second i hear the camera click: ohhhhhhhhhh shit

I need this couple to survive. They're probably not going to but oh my god she's pregnant i need them to survive

Penelope giving herself a script for a difficult phone call is such a mood

Tyler what the FUCK, man

TYLER PUT THE SYRINGE DOWN

wtf was that scene???

aaaand he cloned his cell phone TYLER FUCKING STOP

tyler texting penelope nooo

SHE SAID "NO" HAHA YESSSS

Oh Holly.... when i saw her pulling at her sleeves i though that was what was happening. Oh my heart is breaking for this poor girl.

oh i am SOBBING

yay they saved the couple!!!!

Not Tara calling Rossi old 🤣🤣🤣

"Pilates, upper-body work, a little help from SWAT" these visuals are hilarious

Tara you are so pretty when you smile

Luke definitely didn't tell JJ everything. i can TELL by his face there is more he wants to say to her

Oh my GOD poor JJ

Tyler Green if you show up at Penelope's house while she is stress-baking I'm gonna scream

godDAMMIT

And adding to the list of Luke/Tyler similarities, this pose Tyler is making against the door is the same pose Luke made against the frame of the elevator when he and Penelope had their first on-screen interaction

Go OFF Penelope

NO. SHUT UP ABOUT THE BLACK QUEEN.

Tyler is obsessed with Penelope being the black queen. Luke just... wants her to be herself. I feel an essay coming on

Brian's about to get himself fucking shot

JJ sweetie NO don't look i PROMISE you don't want to see

shaking cam slowly drawing away from JJ's face as she sees what's on screen.... three cheers for our director! I love Adam episodes. Although this is the first one with no garvez which makes me sad

aaaand now Emily's under arrest. perfect.

Brian you FUCKER

we are 3/3 so far for Emily saying "fuck" in an episode 🤣

[unitchiefs-blackbirdphoenix]

I thought this clip of the actress who plays Holly Voit talking about AJ was really sweet!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9nz3tFOZYJ/?igsh=cjg1ZjJ6cnZodDJh

Ong that’s so so sweet!!! 🥹 Thank you anon!! I love their scene together ahhh! I love AJ working with the kids/teens on set of the show. I know there was one bts moment where she was hugging the kid Emily talks to in 17x02 ahhh

[stephsycamore]

Before this episode it actually did not occur to me that voit's kids don't know what he did. I guess it should have been obvious like of course sydney wouldn't tell the kids... but i guess i thought the kids or at least holly were told what their father is

[kreepja]

Ally nordahl (who plays holly voit in cme) calling aj cook "auntie jj" on set is my new roman empire🥺💓

[damnhotmsimmons]

[storiesofsvu]

Okay, so last week my sleep schedule was beyond fucked up and I had a friend staying with me so I didn’t get to watch the new CM until WAY too late and my reactions were barely existent and I almost fell asleep before it ended cause it was almost 6am by then. So I’m rewatching last week rn (while working on other stuff) before watching the new ep. Expect some notes from last week but not a lot I guess lol!

We love a good female unsub.

I STILL do not understand how Emily got full ass arrested over this shit, like yeah brian accused her, but they don’t really have any grounds for arrest, esp her being fbi?? She should have been asked to come down for questioning but that was it. She never should have actually been booked. (though this DOES play into the whole conspiracy thing. Like get her arrested/out of the way/a reason for the upper people to get rid of her or have something to hold over her head. Like, her getting arrested would be part of the whole gold star thing). WITHOUT that though, make it make sense.  GOD to be a lawyer in the CM universe must be THE most annoying thing in the entire world LOL.

This red coat will forever and always be one of my top fave wardrobe items of em’s

Okay but like, the coke “conspiracy theory” seems pretty legit LOL. But em is like.. losing it. She’s tunnel visioned on this gold star case and isn’t sleeping and like, my girl just needs rest and peace for ONCE please.

Jj wanting to talk but not having the courage to bring it up just hurts me man.

“contracted to kill gold star” I thought gold star was an operation? Or a team? Or was that found out later in this episode….LOL

Honestly… Emily breaking the rules/law is not OOC at all. and her asking Garcia to help her (and Garcia complying) isn’t either, it’s happened before in canon. And like.. when em’s getting shoved to the utmost bottom, she’s never above breaking protocol, even if she is in charge. Look at the lauren arc, look at her battle with barnes, her standing up to strauss, she’s always done whatever she thinks is right, it’ll get her answers, even if they can’t be used in court.

Voit looks SO much like someone I work with and that weirds me out LOL.

Mega points for Sydney for standing up for herself. I’m super glad she’s been given some time to shine this season.

Okay either Emily has had some sense knocked into her w saying “this case isn’t gold star until we prove it” or she thinks its an utter waste of time…

You’re SERIOUSLY telling me Penelope Garcia of all people didn’t see “star light star bright” and think of the nursery rhyme? That she wasted how ever many of her guesses and didn’t come up with something along the lines of “wish tonight”?!!!? that shit’s TOO easy…

If last season gave Emily a migraine, dealing with all of this and esp brian should be giving her an aneurysm lol.

The girl playing holly is incredible, I hope she gets the career she deserves. Also.. she deserved to attack voit, like her sister is young enough she’s still living in a weird confused/delusional point where she doesn’t really get what’s going on. holly’s old enough she knows her entire life is completely fucked up by her dad being a killer. That her family’s torn apart, she’s watching her mom barely keep it together, they have to move, again and again, new school, new friends, over and over all in a feeble attempt to try and stay safe from their dad who’s supposed to stay in prison?

Yeah this girl’s absolutely going through it. She loves her dad and misses what they had before everyone found out what he was actually doing.

Not voit getting TWO fucks in one sentence! He is right though about holly being in trouble and needing help now. Maybe he’s self reflecting a little bit, I can’t remember if his past was discussed last season LO, I’m remembering something but I might be fucking up plot lines… EITHER WAY, he sees a bit of himself in holly and doesn’t want her to turn out like him, which could be considered remorse…

JJ asking about Emily and how she’s doing after em asks about Sydney and the girls… just absolutely proves what everyone online was BITCHING hardcore about, with em “not caring about jj” they’re both going through hell, they’re both exhausted, I bet jj didn’t sleep the night before either. JJ wants to know about em and is checking in with her, she knows everyone’s going through it and when asked about her shit, she brushes it off cause she knows both of them are under stress, that she can bring it up later rather than dump everything on em when she’s struggling to hold herself and the team together. Sometimes you have to wait on things like that.. it’s just life.

If tyler and Penelope had met under ANY different circumstance I would be here for it, but I refuse to be the way it was done.

Emily v Voit is giving me so much life. Why didn’t they just send her in first? Lol. Like yeah voit ends up getting what he wants, but also, she’s so fucking cocky about the way it  happens and she can read him like no tomorrow and that’s after no sleep and all that shit? Tell me your powerful without telling me your powerful.

Okay, imma check if the new ep is up yet, if it is, I’ll be back right away, if not, I’ll see ya in a couple of hours…

Alright, I decided to finish writing some headcanons and got distracted and opened twitter to a gif of Emily smoking from the new ep and it was the hottest thing ive ever seen so let’s pray the new ep is up…

HERE WE GOOOOO

Oh we’re starting WAY back with last season flashbacks? Oh GOD this is gonna be a rough episode isn’t it??

Emily needs a hug, a nap and an orgasm.

Jfc this got creepy right off the bat… like voit was slightly okay in the past eps and now he’s just playing into the psycho

Im sorry, the fbi assassinated WHO? I cannot function without my subtitles and there are TOO many names/people in this season over the total season arc that I keep losing track….

Okay so at least it’s not just em’s ID they haven’t updated, rossi’s is old as fuck too..

“its not the first time I’ve crossed ethical and legal boundaries for this case” Rebecca: “and I didn’t hear that…” LOOOOLL

 AND THIS IS WHY  I SAID ID NEVER WANT TO BE A LAWYER IN THIS UNIVERSE

I understand that they said any previous deal would be off the table if voit fucked around with them but are you SERIOUSLY trusting him to provide the message and it not be something to alert them?

Okay but shout out to voit for being the first person to refer to tara as “Dr Lewis” in like.. forever

“you neglected to ask me that” dude’s right… you didn’t ask. That’s on you.

I really like the way they’re profiling this situation from both points and jumping back and fourth,

LOOOOLLL the morse code. Fucking called it.

ANND LUKE GETS A FUCK! YES

“can you do that? without fingerprints?” homegirl is about to get herself fired, isn’t she? (she don’t care either so…)

I know Rebecca being close to voit is like, a legal thing and the jurisdiction and shit but it worries me. Imma be surprised if she makes it through this season.

Jfc Emily is SO hot. I adore they keep putting her in blue!

Voit being the comedic relief was not on my bingo card.

YEESS JJ WITH THE “SO SHUT THE FUCK UP”

Not fuckin voit giving the ship a name.. my dude.. stop.

Lmao, Rebecca, he’s not actually gonna confess a crime babe…

“youre not under arrest, you’re here as a person of interest on a 24 hr hold” WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHOULDVE HAPPENED TO EMILY

“useful idiot” IM TELLING YOU EM TO BRIAN IS FRANKIE TO THE DEAN

Not him gaslighting her!

I know part of it is tv, but part of it is reality that plain clothed officers look EXACTLY like cops. Like, everyone can tell that you’re looking over your shoulder and being suspicious. Someone watching for cops isn’t gonna be that dumb.

Wow that team really had ONE good shooter? You serious?? Jj could have got that in a second.

The way Penelope knows about bombs?? That definitely came from derek.

UGH NOO BUT YESS the look on rebecca’s face when tara said she was staying with the bomb. There’s still love there and I swear to fuck if there’s some dying confession of love that’s my 13th reason

Not jade literally being in the same fucking park…

Ive been saying it for years but without Garcia… the team wouldn’t solve a single fucking case.

Okay I GET THAT THERE’S A FUCKING BOMB but like.. both tara and luke and ALL the surrounding officers are SO focused o that and are COMPLETELY ignoring voit.. that bitch could and would have been completely gone if it wasn’t for rossi and the sniper with him…

“this piece of shit” YES. Listen, I know we’re all feral for swearing, but as someone with a potty mouth who works in an industry when we’re always swearing, it’s so natural to me, and it makes things seem more real.

OH FUCK NO

HOW WAS THAT DUDE SO FUCKING DUMB?!?!? WHY WASN’T THERE LIKE 50 OFFICERS AROUND TO MAKE SURE SHIT LIKE THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN. MY GODDDD

But now voits back in his cell…

Ugghhh rebeccccaaaaaa

“im not at my best right now” “pfft. LOOK AROUND”

How DARE THEY end the ep like that. like the smoking part and her not giving a FUCK about it being inside and in her office was one thing, but the dire attempt to keep her composure and keep it together until she got out of the building only to utterly break down in dave’s arms?!?! Im sobbing. I honestly don’t think we’ve seen her cry *like that* since she was abducted by scratch…. They really turned to paget and said “hope you’re ready to act this season…”

Fuck.

I.. what an episode.. part of me feels the intense need to write some form of fix it fic… woof.

[foundfam2754]

Season 17e4 live reactions!

Spoilers…obviously

- ooh shady deal going down

- hmm never heard conked used as a word for car

- okay it rlly bugs me that on CME is so much harder to see anything

- I KNEW IT, she was gonna use a ruse

- oh man this sounds like a revenge-led UNSUB

-EM DONT ARGUE PL, DONT SWEAR

- lol she looks so done and I love her

- aren’t her fingerprints already in file??

- TYLER. BOUNDARIES

- PEN STANDING HER GROUND

- she’s learning!! pen’s sharing the lessons she learned w Tyler

- OH HOUSE alarm - I was so confused

- also why is all this focus on the alarm making me think pen will be bulgarized or hurt

- okay I really fucking love this Dave getting the mind of the killer by imagining them thing they do , it’s so interesting

- “prick” lol Emily

- JJ :(

- I think they’re all gonna fall into the “conspiracy theory” thing when they solve cases this season w voit getting in their heads and that’s going to be really cool

- HAHA I love chaotic kinda angry Em

- WHAT WAS THAT SMILE MS PRENTISS

- Sydney’s such a badass I fucking love it; GO MAMA BEAR

- jeez Elias “I’ll find you”, that was freaking scary

- LEE!?!? I TOLD YALL CALLING HIM BY HIS BIRTH NAME WOULD BE IMPACTFUL

- I think that they too often read into what Voit says - I think the conspiracy theory has the team second guessing everything - every case, every potential clue. I think the way they’re officially gonna win over Voit is taking his word for what it is. That’s my theory for s17

- is that Debby Ryan??

- bahahaha pen being crazy mad is soo funny “can you get me another one of these”

- what did she say in French??

- okay I miss Garvez so much but Pen and Tyler are funny as fuck together

- why does Dave know what tattoo ink is made up of?

- okay Tara “Spencer Reid” Lewis, knowing tattoo stats of the top of her head

- fucking brian

- oh god Brian is going to get himself killed

- “Is it because you shot at us?” 😂😂

- god holly is so strong :( heart is hurting for the little girl

- HOLY CRAP I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT

- why are they interrogating her? she’s sad :(

- hehe hot scary Luke

- elias’ biggest fear is someone becoming him damn

- holly needs to be protected at all costs

- WHY IS HE STILL NOT CONFESSING TO PROTECT HIS FRIKIN CHILD. goddamn Elias

- poor Sydney :(

- JJ, you are important ❤️

- not everything is related to gold star!!! I don’t think they should be connecting everything! Is it just me? Or is this not part of the whole conspiracy theme that this season has? Maybe it’s just me

- tyler, you’re not tugging at heart strings like you’re thinking bud

- “really intense incredible connection” I mean yes but also no?

- pen come on that was NOT moving do not be shook

- I feel a tiny bit that this ep hard to follow, so many interesting storylines but none fleshed out enough for me to follow everything, idk

- I can’t get over how much this actress looks like Debby Ryan 😂😂

- okay wait interesting - daughter following in father’s footsteps all around? jade and rick and holly and voit? if that’s intentional, that’s really good writing

- ALL HAIL THE BLACK QUEEN INDEED

- oh no what happened pen?

- no way that’s gold star???? they would NOT tell us this early

- holy crap whoa! a team?!? Interesting…

- Am I the only one thinking it’s a lil icky that they’re trading support for holly for help from voit? I get it’s their only option and they’re desperate but still

-OOH VOIT as part of the BAU, interesting

- I still don’t trust Elias, I think he’s intentionally messing with them, making them second guess everything

[slightlyaboveaverageiq]

I hate how Holly is probably gonna be another way that Voit has something over the bau. Just the way they he pleads with them not to send them to witsec there’s something more going on there.

[javsobsessions]

Finally off work, so I’m restarting it (was only about halfway through) and continuing my thoughts.

I did NOT expect Jade to kill Frank. I really thought he was gonna be S18’s bad guy.

Why does Emily waking up look like a video game opening?

Emily is such a mood. I need to know all the details before answering questions too.

If Elias knew what the Gold Stars were, why would he ask for Holly to receive similar treatment? 👀

The warning says “smoking,” and I’m honestly lowkey excited. It better be Emily.

I get the building’s just blown up, but if they can get a film projector, they can get flashlight. I wanna see my girl Prentiss here.

Also, why was Emily wearing a necklace in the field? I feel like that’d be a safety violation.

I’m pretty sure Emily would’ve leaned back instead of forward on that first shock, and yes, it bothers me enough to comment about it.

I told @tenaciousarcadeexpert that maybe whatever happens in the explosion will be enough to make Rossi retire, but if Emily realizes she’s tired of getting “abducted and interrogated” (i.e. tortured) I’m suing.

I haven’t looked at anything regarding this episode yet cuz Spoilers, but I KNOW “Your boyfriend’s dead because you shot him, babe” is gonna be EVERYWHERE.

Tyler: And you’re telling me that?

Rossi: Yeah, I know.

Me: That’s why Rossi’s not going.

Rossi: That’s why I’m not going.

OOOOOOOOH

Garcia is literally me. I won’t say anything (cuz I can’t Words). I’ll just stare at you until you think about what you did.

NOT THE BAUGATE. 👊 LEMME AT HIM

JJ!!!! I love all the women this ep 😭

This is literally giving Ian Doyle going after the BAU cuz they’re all Emily has.

If it wasn’t for that photo of Emily standing with her team with her head wound, I’d be actually worried for her.

(Garcia just hacked into the security camera) WAIT. EMILY KNOWS MORSE CODE! AND SO DOES… who was it? Luke? EMILY, START BLINKING!

“Maybe it’s after a preacher’s sermon…” Not Jade bringing up Emily’s religious trauma without even realizing it.

Not Emily ALWAYS being the one to have to talk a kiddo out of Bad Situations

Madison: You wanted to talk?

GIRLIE BETTER NOT BE QUITTING

Not Emily STILL not being at the team party.

IF I HAVE TO DEAL WITH VOIT FOR ANOTHERRRRR SEASONNNNN

EMILYYYYY!!!! (And Voit, but imma ignore him)

Hey, maybe Voit plans on getting himself killed in GP 🤷‍♀️

Oop…. Called it? (I don’t think he’s dead.)

Either way, we better not have to wait another almost year and a half for S18.

[mismatched-sockss]

y'all are getting some thoughts on the new episode this week!

okay, but why is Emily sitting in the back of a cop car kind of hot....??

JJ looks so tired and broken.... i'm about to cry

Emily is gonna explode soon uff...

fucking Tyler, couldn't he have like, come in an hour later or so? it wasn't "urgent" enough for him before, let my girls talk

i can get that he is in fact worried about his daughter, but did Voit really, really, think his wife would change her mind by threatening her????

coincidence my ass, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.. how fucking big is this whole gold star thing..??

i love Garcia, from keyboard to server room 😂

that thing didn't look like an official tattoo needle to me, but okay. either way bat shit crazy to use that thing for the eyes. Tara's reason why the needle points to the Unsub being a woman doesn't make sense to me tbh

yeah not gold star, but like i said, three times is a pattern. you can't tell me all these similarities are just a coincidence

"Emily are you alright?" lmao, Brian. and fucking listen to Emily man!

a program????

"I can't believe how big you gotten" dude, it's been two weeks

omg, i thought she had pepper spray!

is it bad that i kind of feel bad for Voit?

Luke, baby, i don't think taunting him is such a good idea rn

why the hell did Holly think it would make her mother feel better when she killed her father and went to prison herself?? as if that wouldn't make it worse on Sydney?

"[...] you want me to lie and say i'm Sicarius [...]?" i thought we were past denying it?

oh he's so worried about her.... bet he is comparing himself to his uncle by now because of it...

now i'm really crying... "It's not important" honey, yes it is!

you get five seconds, not one more

fuck, don't make me like you...

when will Rossi finally talk about his hallucinations, that's gonna end bad...

Gold Star - Eyes only.... aaah, goosebumps. i need to know what else Garcia found!

uuuuh...... what?

asdfghjkl fuck!! pattern! told ya it's a pattern!

reminds me of what Antonia Slade said "oh, this is exciting. it feels like i'm one of the team"

why do i feel like Voit is going to try and run while he's at Quantico?

[notallwonder]

Ok, CME 17x04, here we go.

Spoilers and rambles below the cut.

Ready to feel Emotions!

- Lmao "JACKPOT, NV" okeydoke!!

- oh it’s that one young lady horror actor whom I don’t know but saw in the promos

- is she gonna kidnap him….oh, yes

- so not kidnap so much as beat him to death

- Erasmus! ok

- PRENTISS MUGSHOTS. Barbie memes here we go!!!!

- ok so who did she call. Tara. Or Dave.

- Penelope standing firm on her boundaries, good for her

- she called Dave. :):):)

- I remain, as ever, a Prentiss lover. She is so great when she’s pissed

- oh no JJ, bb

- god Tara is beautiful

- is it weird that they’re talking about a conspiracy theory manipulating people as though “it” has such power? rather than someone using a conspiracy theory to manipulate others? is this how people talk about conspiracy theories?

- Emily big mad. and that look from JJ…

- AAAAAH they need to talk!

- Tyler you little interrupting bitch!! Lol

- still, this is like already more than they got last season, in terms of looking directly at one another and speaking, in the same frame no less. I love this stupid show

- but yeah. JJ. the traumatized body language, the long sleeves pulled all the way to her hands, the fidgeting. girl you didn’t deserve this

- “and does it involve you pretending to go to the bathroom” 🤣

- Emily is ON A TEAR. I love it. I also love when she turns and we see her little smirk. like that scene when she profiles Bailey last season

- this is crazy. hold them? 😬 I mean yeah I guess I don’t think he would actually physically harm his daughters.

- and now Emily’s more cautious about the gold star connection

- “you are a worthy nemesis, tiny machine, but I will best you” 😂

- this scene with Penelope was cute. She seems more settled this season, a little more level-headed about her place with the BAU and whatever's going on (or not) with Tyler

- wait, what did they hand to Holly? A note and��lip gloss? Bubbles? WTF was that

- this reminds me of Seaver's background. These sisters are going to process this situation differently. Actually it would be kind of cool if Seaver made a cameo for these girls

- wow, really? more women than men have tattoos? huh.

- I’m so happy that fuckin’ Brian has such a big part this season

- OH SHIT. She brought her own shiv!!!! Holly!!!!

- this season is better than last. A lot more going on, overall better pacing. They've pulled back from showing the personal lives of the agents in favor of working character stuff into the case/more professional contexts and I think it works better. They’re setting up a lot of secrets/mysteries and I’m not sure if they will be able to pay everything off in a satisfying way, but the build up is so far more exciting than all the Voit show & tell in s16. And even though Rossi is hallucinating, the volume is dialed down on him and dialed up on Emily, JJ, even Luke (a bit) and I couldn't be more glad for that.

- did they let this happen? Did they have some idea that Holly was going to try to kill him? Nah. nah? But Luke jumps right on the opportunity to skewer Voit with it

- the angelic face of Jennifer Jareau 😇

- god this scene with JJ and Holly. AJ Cook really bringing her A game. You can see it all - her compassion, her empathy, her fear. Her fear. For Holly, for her sons, for herself?

- lol at Tyler roasting in the server room

- so yeah, I’m thinking of Seaver. And the Anton Yelchin kid from season 2... all the times the show has brought up the question of how murderers - serial murderers - are made, of how that kind of violence may be passed on (as a contagion, as a genetic predisposition), of how we may fail to control or subdue it.

- JJ AND EMILY HAVING A FULL CONVERSATION. Wow. It feels pretty natural to me, which is funny in retrospect bc we came up so empty on this vector in s16

- NO. JJ!! “it’s not important”. NO IT’S VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT. you’re very fucking important!! gut reaction she feels useful in this situation w/ voit’s family so is more able or willing to tuck her pain away at the moment. this is something she can do.

- k I rewatched that bit a few times. The way JJ brings up her shields, makes nice/light, but then does land, at the end, on a semblance of a real smile. She's no fool. She sees Emily losing her shit. She sees that if someone is going to truly prioritize the well being of Voit's kids, it can & must be her. She accepts that this is the way the world is - for her. This is one of the ways she expresses what motherhood means/is to her. There is always someone to protect, and she will find a way to set aside her own pain to do that. That's where she gets her strength, in the face of all the awfulness she has seen and experienced.

[unitchiefs-blackbirdphoenix]

17x03 Spoilers/Thoughts

(Not very long of a post tbh. There’s just too much to kinda unpack tho)

(TWs bc the show doesn’t really give you much, but self-harm (around 32:00) and talks of p*rn and online exploitation) I think I might make the tws italicized in my spoilers to give that heads up.

This is directed by Adam Rodriguez!

The whole case basically isn’t connected to Gold Star, I don’t think it is. There’s a mask involved now and Tara and Rossi take on the case. Rossi trying to get through the window was pretty funny tho.

Emily is off with her old neighbor (played by Paul F. Tompkins), Brian Garrity. She is trying to get him to take down some misinformation. It’s pretty funny seeing those two actually.

Also Brian gets beaten up by a group of men and Emily finds him and tries to protect him, but the police come in and see her with her gun out, so now…

Emily gets arrested and framed

I kinda barely paid attention to Tyler at this first watch but uhhh he meets a guy named Sebastian Gasper

JJ and Luke team up together but Luke is feeling absolutely guilty of what Emily and Voit told him.

Voit said from ep 2 that there is a BAU Gate, which is a site full of memes and pictures and stuff about the team. But Emily says there’s something that involves JJ in it that Luke couldn’t believe was true.

BAU p*rn. And all of it is of JJ.

JJ and Luke talk to Sydney and on their way, they talk about what’s been bothering him. It’s just so hard for him to not keep it quiet and I feel for him.

JJ talking about how good of a leader Emily is and that she knew it would be for the best anyway.

And her saying whatever Luke doesn’t tell her will be protecting her and what he does tell, she will get hurt.

JJ is aware of the BAU Gate thing since before she was a profiler, so during her liaison days. She thought it was a lot of anime on it and ridiculous stuff of the team, but something on her face the more they talked about it seems like her fear of what Luke tells her later is affecting her when she suspects it.

There’s stuff with Sydney and Voit’s daughters.

Really cute moment with Luke playing soccer which… for the sake of this being the happy thing of it all, Luke and JJ playing soccer together 🥺

Holly(?) is the one having a hard time grappling with the fact that her father is a criminal.

In one scene, she cuts herself before her mom comes in to stop her.

Sydney talks with JJ and Luke after about going into witness protection and everything they need to do.

After that…. Luke finally tells JJ.

It’s honestly better for people to watch the scenes for this upcoming storyline for JJ bc I have no other way to describe it.

But Luke tells her everything he learned from the secret, that the site was flagged by Homeland Security in 2014 (said by Emily) and Voit and his network has an updated version of it.

He tells JJ that it’s not the other agents that were on the site but just JJ.

She was the focal point of it all.

The absolute heartbreak in JJ’s whole being. Everything is just sucked out of her. And if you thought this was bad, the next scene of this is worse.

After everyone leaves the office, JJ closes the blinds to the roundtable room and checks the website for herself. It’s just…. Heartbreaking and haunting are the two words to describe it.

There’s a bunch I have on this probably on a separate post but damn CM. They really went there. And it’s the worst of the worst. (Not to compare storylines or trauma but nothing can really go beyond that)
