Dr. Spencer Reid:
Up until now, he's been an equal opportunity, anger retaliatory sadist.

David Rossi:
Which is fancy talk for he hates the husbands as much as the wives.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
Most likely because his own marriage failed in a humiliating way, and his wife left him for a man she may be engaged or even already married to.

Derek Morgan:
But a major shift happened with Mary Hammond. He wasn't able to kidnap the husband, but he needed someone to cut her.

Jennifer Jareau:
So his MO was forced to evolve. We believe he's abducted the sixth victim, a man, probably someone who reminds him of his own failed marriage.

Alex Blake:
And he's keeping number six alive so he can repeat the process with Emma Churchill.

David Rossi:
Number six could be a surrogate for the ex-wife's new husband or actually be the new husband.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
Which is why the fastest way to find this UnSub is through this most recent unknown victim.
