Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : You had eyes on me while I was in prison, didn't you?

  Cat Adams : Spencie, don't ruin the moment.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't want to, but I'm on the clock. Answer my question. Am I right?

  Cat Adams : Yes, you're right. I wanted to make sure things were just as uncomfortable for you as they were for me.

  Luke Alvez : That's what we missed. The inside man that's been helping them.

  David Rossi : He didn't just work at Cat's prison, he worked at hers and Reid's.

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, look for any overlap.

  Penelope Garcia : Compiling now. Here's something. Lionel Wilkins. He worked at both Mount Pleasant and and the Millburn Correctional Facility.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Okay, look, this guy could have gotten her pregnant. But there's no way he could have gotten his hand on Reid's file.

  Stephen Walker : Well, not directly. He could have called in a favor from a friend at the Bureau.

  Luke Alvez : So someone must have wanted to screw us this whole time.

  Emily Prentiss : Someone who's not gonna work for the Bureau much longer.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Dance with me.

  Cat Adams : Why?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Because I don't want the people watching us to hear what I'm going to say next;

  [as they dance, Cat glances at the security monitor] 

  Jennifer Jareau : [on her phone in the observation room]  You guys got this up?

  Penelope Garcia : [at the BAU]  Streaming now.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay. Uh, listen, you're... you're gonna hear a lot of weird stuff, like Spence saying he is the father of Cat's baby. Don't let that distract you.

  Penelope Garcia : Uh, I'm sorry. Full stop. Why would Reid say he's the father of...

  Emily Prentiss : Quiet.

• Emily Prentiss : I know we're all tired, but we might have a new lead on Mr. Scratch.

  Penelope Garcia : Somebody did a bang-up job of cloning my cell phone to send Morgan a fake text luring him to a non-existent safe house. And whoever that somebody is has mad skills.

  Stephen Walker : The kind of skills Scratch has.

  Luke Alvez : Were you able to trace where the hack came from?

  Penelope Garcia : [to Morgan, insulted]  Do... do you see what I have to put up with?

  Derek Morgan : Alvez, you'll always get a location with this one. You guys are all good to go.

  Emily Prentiss : Obviously, Morgan can't come with us. He's a civilian now.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, we'll miss you out there.

  Derek Morgan : I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it out there in the field with you guys. I think about it every day. But between my old friends and my new friends, you guys are gonna go out there, you're gonna handle your business, you're gonna make people feel safe, and then you're gonna come home. And that's all that matters.

• Derek Morgan : Hey, baby girl.

  Penelope Garcia : [running and hugging him]  Oh, my god! Oh, my god! It's you! It's really you! Oh, you smell like... you smell like hope and happiness. It is really you.

  Derek Morgan : [she lets him go]  Yes, it's me. It's me. But listen, you gotta focus, okay?

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. Anything. Anything. Focus. Focus on what?

  Emily Prentiss : This text.

  Penelope Garcia : [reading the text, her eyes bug out]  Oh, crap.

• Penelope Garcia : So, what's the other reason you're not going with the team?

  Derek Morgan : Baby girl, I made a promise to my son. Now, obviously he's not old enough to understand it, but that's not what matters. My promise was that I would come home to him every night, and so far I haven't broken it.

  Penelope Garcia : How is Hank?

  Derek Morgan : He just started walking.

  [he laughs, and pantomimes] 

  Derek Morgan : Well, it's more like this little waddle. But the kid is walking. You know, I had no idea that I could love this much.

• Penelope Garcia : Hey. I... I got your text message. I'm confused. You want me to see if there are any missing children?

  Emily Prentiss : No, I asked if any AMBER alerts had been issued tonight.

  Penelope Garcia : No. Is that important?

  Emily Prentiss : Yes. I'm gonna put one out.

  Penelope Garcia : You're gonna put out Diana Reid's face and say she's a missing child?

  Emily Prentiss : No, I'm gonna put Lindsey's out as an abductor. People pay attention to AMBERs, and that's what we need.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay. Oh... I'll do it.

  [turning to her computer screens] 

  Emily Prentiss : Penelope, no. It's my call. Which means I'll take responsibility for it. Just pull the screen up, okay?

  [she does so; as she stands up, Prentiss takes her seat] 

  Emily Prentiss : [before Garcia can say anything]  I need you to leave. Right now.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : This baby is simply a means to an end, which is to keep me here playing your game, guessing like a fool, assuming something I never should have assumed in the first place.

  Cat Adams : And what would that be?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : My mother's already dead. She was dead before I walked in here.

  Cat Adams : She's not dead.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [standing to leave]  Yes, she is.

  Cat Adams : No, because that would be cheating and I don't cheat. You cheat.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I'm done playing.

  Cat Adams : Get back here.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Goodbye, Cat.

  Cat Adams : I'll let you talk to her!

  [Reid shares a look with JJ; as he returns to the room, she dials her phone] 

  Penelope Garcia : Yes, I'm here.

  Jennifer Jareau : Garcia, get ready to trace a call on Spence's phone.

  Penelope Garcia : Fired up, plugged in. Ready to go.

• Derek Morgan : I am so proud of you. I love you, always. But do you think you can try to be a little friendlier to Alvez?

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, my god.

  Derek Morgan : Hey, hey, hey. Look at me. He seems like a pretty all right kid.

  Penelope Garcia : He... I... it's complicated. I'll try. I make no promises.

  Derek Morgan : Go save some lives, baby girl.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay.

  [he kisses his fingers and touches her cheek] 

  Penelope Garcia : Meow.

  [checking him out as he turns to leave] 

  Penelope Garcia : I hate it when you go, but I love when you walk away.

• Penelope Garcia : [Sets herself behind her computer]  All right, Voltron, sound off

• Penelope Garcia : Of all the heroes I have met, and I have met a lot of heroes, you, Derek "Chocolate Thunder" Morgan, are the most heroic. Ohh...

  [hugging him] 

  Penelope Garcia : That's for you.

  [letting him go and hugging him again] 

  Penelope Garcia : This is for Hank.

  [repeating the motion] 

  Penelope Garcia : And Savannah. This one is for you again. Oh, speaking of Hank, if you leave right now, you'll... you'll get home before he wakes up.

  Derek Morgan : No, actually, I told Savannah I was gonna catch a later flight. I reached out to Reid for real. I wanna see him; I gotta see him. So I'm gonna bring him some breakfast and make sure him and his mom are okay.
