Work The Case
Season 1
by Lee Glass
The team sets out for Massanutten Mountain in Virginia on the case of one dead teen and one missing teen. While there, they get ensnared in what looks like a satanic cult killing for the thrill, but discover it might actually be someone close to the investigation.
In this episode, the team travels to El Paso to save their bestie Elle from getting murdered on a train. Will the team be able to talk down a mentally ill man holding everyone at gunpoint, or will the whole mission go off the rails?
In today's episode, the loose cannons of the BAU invade Baltimore, Maryland to investigate a mafia member's murder against the wishes of everyone with actual jurisdiction. Between all the terrible Italian caricatures and Hope and Lee becoming avid Gideon/Hotch shippers, we discuss just how viable "murder by rat" is and why plea deals might be for the best sometimes.
This week, the team stays in D.C. to hunt down a family annihilator that has the home-field advantage. Can the team track down this wanna-be daddy? Or will they come into some HIPAA-sized roadblocks on the way to their Final Destination?
Our intrepid BAU team heads out to Des Plaines, Illinois on the trail of a long-distance serial killer. In a city where every man is a narcissist and every boss hates their employees, can the team find the killer, or will they be Psyched out?
In this double feature, the team goes to San Diego to stop a serial killer that loves old ballads, and then to New York to stop a stalker that has a thing for twins. That's right, we cover two episodes for the price of one. Can the team go two hours without breaking the law? Spoiler alert: no!
In this episode, we talk about a copycat forger that gets in way over his head. Can the team beat a master forger before he beats himself? Or is our team just tremendously lucky their suspect goes out with a bang?
In this episode, Hope and Lee have way too much fun talking about the not guilty by reason of sanity defense. Does Clara Hayes really fit the label, and how well does an episode about OCD made in 2005 hold up today? Content warnings for discussion of mental health, people burning alive, and the prison mental health system.
We start with the pilot episode: Extreme Agressor! What's the most illegal thing the BAU does while chasing down an unsub in Seattle? The answer may surprise you. Content warnings: discussion of violent crime, paraphilia, and mental illness. We also address problems in the legal system at large.
This week, we follow New York's finest on a case that really shows how the power of mom erotica. That's right, for Christmas we watched an episode of Law & Order: SVU. Lee and special guest star Graham introduce Hope to an especially heinous episode with their favorite character. (Warning, the audio on this episode has some crunchy bits. Listen at your own risk.)
