Hotch:
Once again the team had battled a monster, and won.

Erin Strauss:
The future of the BAU is not in the balance here. The residual impact as a result of investigations into the crimes and criminals you pursue is. Every cause has its effect.

Hotch:
You think I don't know that?

Erin Strauss:
I believe you are no longer effective in your post.

Hotch:
The modern furniture, strategically placed magazines, the framed diplomas, the art in the wall...they're all in conflict with your family photos. You have three children but you favor the middle one, your son.

Erin Strauss:
What do you think you're do--

Hotch:
Of course, you love all your children, but not like your son.

Erin Strauss:
That's enough!

Hotch:
The bonsai you obsessively nurture is to compensate for feelings of failure as a mother...

Erin Strauss:
Agent Hotchner, I said that is enough! My position is not in question here. As your superior, I am questioning your ability to lead your team...

Hotch:
My team? Let me tell you about my team. Agent Morgan fought to protect his identity from the very people who could save him. Why? Because trust has to be earned, and there are very few people he truly trusts. Reid's intellect is a shield which protects him from his emotions, and at the moment his shield is under repair. Prentiss overcompensates because she doesn't yet feel she's a part of the team; she needn't worry. Every day, Agent Jareau fields dozens of requests for our team, and every night she goes home hoping she has made the right choices. Garcia fills her office with figurines and color to remind herself to smile as the horror fills her screens. And Agent Gideon in many ways is damned by his profound knowledge of others, which is why he shares so little of himself, yet he pours his heart into every case we handle. I stand by my actions, and I stand by my team, and if you think that you can find a better person for the job, then good luck.

Erin Strauss:
Agent Hotchner.

Hotch:
How do I know you favor your son? I'm good at my job.
