SPOILERS
“Blue Angel” gave yet another unique unsub of the week while
incorporating Matt Simmons in an episode that seemed to have a little something
to say about the importance of family.
The episode starts to be about finding the link between two
supposedly unrelated men, horribly tortured and captured all on tape, sent to
the families. The link turns out to be an escort both of them used, and all of
a sudden the episode is about her, Kimberly. The obvious idea for the unsub is
a jealous ex-boyfriend or partner, but after a little digging it seems like a
more probably solution is a family member. She doesn’t know anything, but it
seems like her mother does. While the two women are kidnapped, the team figures
out Kimberly’s biological father killed her biological mother and her “mother”
is actually her aunt. Her father is now out of prison and is not happy about
the way Kimberly’s life turned out, so he is going after the men she has had a
connection with. The team finds where they are hiding and everyone gets away
okay. Her father is arrested, and both Kimberly and her mother seem to be fine.

| Agent Matt Simmons and his wife. |
I really liked the scene at the beginning with Matt Simmons
and his wife. I thought they were just doing a little character building to
make him seem more real in our eyes, but it turns out there was a greater
purpose there. While watching over Kimberly, she is a little suggestive but he
turns her down, staying true to his wife, not hiding behind anything. She
appreciates that, and we get to see what a loving family could be, should be,
when compared to the mess that ended up being Kimberly’s family, with her
father and her aunt/mother. The episode rewards us with a reunion with Matt and
his wife and kids.
This episode kept me intrigued throughout. It was a
different kind of story which sprinkled throughout little moments with the
characters we love so much. The team is still sticking together, doing what
they do best.
10/10
