“Unforgettable” was great! This is an episode I’ve been
waiting for, and I didn’t even know it. I can see how the season will come
rushing to an end, and it’s exciting.
We get an episode that revolves around a close friend of
Stephen Walker, and we do get a couple flashbacks to take us into the past, to
Russia, where they bring back the ideas of his past as someone who had to
travel a lot and the fact that he could play the trombone (hey, I pay attention
to music-related details!). The question that was posed was if Sam was sick
because of things they did in Russia or was it completely unrelated? Turns out
it was. True, he was irradiated by using a Russian technique, but he was not the
target.
After several weeks of the unsub being a socially awkward
twenty-something white male with some kind of misogynistic or other mental
problem, it was a woman. Granted, it was a woman whom we did not see until they
caught her, but I guess that was the point of the episode: it could have been
anyone you meet on the street, wrong place, wrong time and all that. If you
think about it, poison is traditionally a woman’s weapon. It makes sense the
unsub was a woman. I liked it; it reminded me of a couple episodes of NCIS,
especially an episode with an ex-KGB agent and similar poison pellets.

| Spencer's mom visits him. |
The final thing I need to discuss is of course Reid, who is
still being treated poorly by the guards. His lawyer arranges a visit with his
mother. She is rather confused as to why he is there. Spencer is somewhat glad to see
her and tells her exactly why he is there. I did appreciate that: he was very
straightforward, “I’m in prison waiting for my murder trial”. The best and
worst part of this was the amount of guilt his mother feels over learning he is
there, partially because of her. He tries to reassure her, eventually Scratch
would have caught up to him. I wished they could have hugged each other.
The meeting was over and theeen…we meet her new nurse. She’s
younger and Reid instantly recognizes her, even though she gives a different
name. At first, I was suspecting she was going to be the person behind the
radiation attacks. Then it was better. It was a girl from a few seasons back. I recognized her, but I can’t remember the exact story; I think she was kidnapped, or maybe her father
was the unsub. Either way, she’s turned to the Dark Side and somehow Mr.
Scratch found her. She’s the one who killed Nadie. This is the plot drop we’ve
been waiting for. Let’s go go go!
