Dr. Spencer Reid:
[voiceover as plane flies] If it is a miracle, any sort of evidence will answer. But if it is a fact, proof is necessary. Mark Twain.

Aaron Hotchner:
Victimology is very similar. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed teenage girls. [looks at photos]

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau:
We believe they were each abducted near public transportation stops.

Emily Prentiss:
[holds up photo] When was this photo taken?

Derek Morgan:
Beth was caught on a bank surveillance camera 3 hours before she disappeared; that's a recent photo of Abby.

Emily Prentiss:
So, she wasn't found in the same clothes she was abducted in.

David Rossi:
Maybe he changed them because hers were burned by the sulfuric acid.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
It's possible. Sulfuric acid can turn human flesh into soap. [JJ's face as Reid is talking is shown as affected due to their conflict]

Aaron Hotchner:
Garcia, any recent similar cases in the surrounding area?

Penelope Garcia:
[on laptop] Actually, yes. Two months ago, a prostitute and a runaway were both found raped and killed and they had stab wounds to their eyes.

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau:
So maybe he practiced on high-risk victims first.

Derek Morgan:
And then advanced to chemical enucleation.

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau:
Isn't that a rare paraphilia?

Emily Prentiss:
Well, the chemical part is. It would exacerbate the pain.

David Rossi:
Like Ed Kemper, he's probably practicing on surrogates, before going after the real object of his rage.

Aaron Hotchner:
Dave, you and I will talk to the parents. Morgan and Prentiss, go to the disposal sites. JJ, you and Reid to the abduction sites. [JJ and Reid's faces reflect their feelings about the orders]
