While the BAU was there to infiltrate the church and free young girls, it turned into a hostage situation when the members refused to leave. Reid and Prentiss are inside when the state police show up, and a Branch Davidian styled siege took place in one of Criminal Minds' best episodes.
It took Reid a long time to open up to his teammates at the BAU about his personal life and problems, and that included his mother. Diana is a schizophreniac who is institutionalized and is someone that Reid has a fear that he will develop the same symptoms due to genetics. When Reid believes his dad might have killed someone, he learns something about his mom that changes everything.
In Season 6, Reid started suffering from headaches and was beginning to feel ill. He even started having hallucinations and believed that he was starting to lose his mind, the long-standing fear that mental illness was hereditary, and he was beginning to break. This lasted for a long time. By the time Season 8 rolled around, it looked like Reid was finally going to get help.
In "God Complex," he learned that there might be a treatment to help him. The woman offering to help him was Maeve, and the two of them ended up in a romantic relationship. It seems that Reid isn't allowed to remain happy for very long. Just eight episodes after Maeve told Reid that she loved him, the woman that she was worried about stalking her in that same episode attacked in "Zugzwang. Senator Cramer : Calm down, agent. Aaron Hotchner : Seven months ago, I made a decision that affected this team.
As you all know, Emily had lost a lot of blood after her fight with Doyle. But the doctors were able to stabilize her, and she was airlifted from Boston to Bethesda under covert exfiltration. Her identity was strictly need to know. And she stayed there until she was well enough to travel. In the next episode, Reid only said that the date was "top secret" and it was never mentioned again, until " ", when JJ says that not knowing it was supposed to be a date, she brought Garcia along as a way of getting to know the younger team members.
He later joked that he was "aiming for his leg". Hotch is so proud of Reid he lets him keep the gun. It is not clear whether or not he kept the weapon as he is never seen using it again.
He's livid to find out that Morgan not only told Hotch but also Gideon. He understands more of where Morgan coming from as he told Reid his share of nightmares. During the case, he's held hostage by the unsub and is saved by Morgan.
On the ride home in the jet, Gideon has a talk with Reid about his nightmares. In " Derailed ", Reid reveals that he is capable of impressive sleight-of-hand magic tricks, which he uses to trick Ted Bryar. He then shows remarkable insight into the mind of the delusional man, successfully distracting him to protect the hostages. After Elle Greenaway admits that Reid saved her life, she asks about how he gained such insight, implying that Reid may have some personal experience with mental illness.
Reid explains that he was just pretending, pats Elle on the knee, and walks away; leaving Elle and the audience wondering if he is hiding something. In " Somebody's Watching ", Reid garnered the affection of Hollywood starlet Lila Archer , who was being stalked by Maggie Lowe , who killed people to further Lila's career. Lila gives Reid what may have been his first kiss.
It is unclear whether Reid tried to pursue the relationship further, but JJ teased him about it briefly in the Season Five episode " The Performer ", asking if he still talked to Lila. Reid declined to answer and quickly changed the subject back to Gina King the episode's unsub. In " The Fisher King, Part 2 ", Reid reveals to the rest of the team that his mother is "a paranoid schizophrenic who wouldn't remember to eat without being properly medicated and supervised".
He mentions to Garcia that schizophrenia is passed on genetically, something he is evidently worried about. In " Aftermath ", Reid seems to be the only team member who notices Elle's odd behavior, and confronts her; he gets her to open up to him but it does not stop her from spiraling out of control. Reid later blames himself for not having done more to help her. Reid being tortured by Tobias Hankel. While being held hostage by serial killer Tobias Hankel , Reid was repeatedly tortured and forcibly injected with Dilaudid , which caused hallucinations of his past and he became addicted.
He had a near death experience when he went into a seizure where he saw shadowy figures and a bright light and, as he later pointed out to Morgan, it couldn't be like other cases where these visions are just doctors in the emergency room. Reid was forced to kill for a second time using the revolver that his captor used to torment him.
Reid's addiction was noticed by Hotch and Gideon over time, as well as an old friend of Reid's in New Orleans " Jones ". He has since become clean; in " Elephant's Memory ", he attended a support group called The Beltway Clean Cops meeting for addicts in law enforcement.
He said he'd been experiencing cravings recently and spoke of Ryan Phillips who got shot in front of him in " 3rd Life " before being interrupted by multiple calls summoning him to work. He was surprised to find one of his superiors attending the same meeting. The older agent, named "John" [3] , loaned Reid his one-year sobriety coin, making Reid promise that he would return once he earned his own.
He is still very particular about staying clean, as seen in " Amplification " when he strictly refused to take any narcotic painkillers after Chad Brown infected him with Anthrax. When Gideon does not show up at work and fails to answer phone calls " In Name and Blood " , Reid drives out to Gideon's cabin in his own car. Upon arrival, he finds a note addressed only to him explaining why Gideon chose to leave the BAU. Later, Reid explains to Prentiss that his father did the same thing when he abandoned Reid and Diana.
Prentiss later exclaims to Reid that there was a reason that he left the note only to Reid to find and not the team. In the episode " Damaged ", he managed to save himself and Hotch from Chester Hardwick who intended to kill them as a way to evade the execution of his death sentence by giving a thirteen minute lecture on the medical explanations for Chester's condition and behavior. When the situation had been diffused, he stated that he didn't know if the profile was accurate, thus revealing it had been improvised on the spot using his encyclopedic knowledge.
He also stated that he does some of his best work when under 'intense terror'. In the episode " Elephant's Memory ", Spencer received a medallion from another superior agent only named John as his previous addiction to Dilaudid was giving him cravings since his previous witness to the murder of Ryan Phillips by the hands of Jack Vaughn , encouraging Spencer to strengthen his resolve and return the medallion once he had reached the one year mark.
Later in the same episode, Spencer lets some aloud some outbursts towards Morgan and a Texas PD officer handling the case in somewhat of a defense towards Owen Savage. It's revealed in a later scene that he identified with Owen, and was also bullied in high school by being lured towards the football field and forced to strip naked and tied to the football pole. Morgan is the only person he told this story to. In the Season Four episode " Minimal Loss ", Prentiss and Reid went undercover as "child interview specialists" to determine if Benjamin Cyrus the polygamist cult leader was sexually abusing young girls.
Prentiss took a severe beating in order to protect Reid, causing him to feel guilty about her having to protect him. He visits his mother, who inadvertently helps him solve the case. In " Memoriam ", Reid reunites with his estranged father, William Reid , whom he hasn't seen in 17 years. It is not a happy reunion, as Reid is still very angry and suspects his father of being responsible for the murder of Riley Jenkins who's real killer was Gary Michaels. However, William is eventually cleared of any suspicion.
Later he is seen reflecting on his actions as Morgan confronts him, prompting Reid to correlate Adam's relationship with dissociative personality with that of his previous kidnapper Tobias Hankel.
Reid doubts his abilities, prompting Morgan to tell him that sometimes they can't save everyone. In " 52 Pickup ", Reid impressed a female bartender named Austin while investigating the murders of Robert Parker.
On Morgan 's advice who told him "chicks dig magic" , he performed an impressive illusion with a pen and a flier showing a police sketch of the unsub. When she asked for his number, he told her she already had it behind her barrette, which she pulled out of her hair. The bartender would later call him and ask him out, though nothing appears to have come of it.
In " Amplification ", Reid and Morgan go to Dr. Nichols' lab, believing that he is the unsub. They discover Dr. Nichols' corpse and a broken container of anthrax. Reid locks Morgan outside of the lab as to not infect him. Once the team arrests Chad Brown for the attacks, they discover a hidden cure for that specific strain of anthrax in his inhaler, and Reid is cured along with the 4 surviving victims of the attack at the park.
It is a non-life-threatening wound, and Reid tells the doctor to treat the unsub instead of him. In the next episode, " Haunted ", he carried crutches. Because of his injury, he stayed and worked from Quantico with Garcia in " Reckoner ". Later in the season, he moved on to use a cane and continued doing so until the episode " The Uncanny Valley ".
The team finds out Rhea's address and storms his apartment, only to find that Foyet had posted an Internet alert on the name Peter Rhea to alert him if the name was ever investigated and has disappeared. In " The Uncanny Valley ", Reid returns to the public park where he used to play chess with the locals.
A boy that knows Reid mentions that he used to come more often. Reid says that he used to play with an old friend who quit, Gideon, though he doesn't mention his name, just that he knows why he did quit. He was doing the same theme over and over and expecting a different outcome, yet it was all the same, the same definition of insanity. Spencer later deduces that the unsub, Samantha Malcolm , had been the subject of sexual abuse and electroshock therapy, trapping her mind in a broken childlike state at the hands of her father, Dr.
Arthur Malcolm. He finds Samantha amongst three victims and manages to talk her down and cooperate with authorities without any violence. In " Risky Business ", Prentiss shows Reid a star puzzle set that she proclaimed impossible to piece back together. He's been shot, kidnapped, infected with anthrax, and framed for murder. There was one time when he actually had to watch his girlfriend killed in front of him.
Even considering all that trauma, fans have a problem with the aftermath of him finding out his friend Emily Prentiss Paget Brewster faked her death. Near the end of the sixth season, Emily is stabbed and comes uncomfortably close to death. Cook hide her recovery from the team, fake her death, and send her to Paris for seven months to keep her safe from the man trying to kill her — and to explain Brewster leaving the show.
She returns at the beginning of season 7, however, when they catch her would-be killer.
