Following the case and ultimate suicide of Frank and Jane, individuals within the BAU are in an uncomfortable position. As Frank's mission was a personal one against him in many respects, Gideon feels guilty for the death of his friend Sarah and others at the hand of Frank. The unit is under review by Hotch's boss Erin Strauss, who has told Hotch in no uncertain terms that she feels the unit's recklessness and disarray is his fault and that his days in the unit are numbered. And without anyone else's knowledge, Strauss has asked Prentiss, whose transfer into the BAU was arranged by her, to assist her not only in getting Hotch removed from his position but also to have him fired from the FBI altogether. In the meantime, work for the BAU continues. Their next case takes them to Flagstaff, Arizona where female brunette students at a liberal arts college are being murdered. Because the victims have had no defensive wounds, the BAU surmise that the unsub is someone who blends into life at the college. They initially believe this case is open and shut when they identify someone who fits the profile. But working through this case, individuals within the BAU begin arguing amongst themselves and begin doubting their own abilities in profiling. The outcome of this case, in addition to the case with Frank, makes Gideon ponder his future. 《犯罪心理》：BAU之不完全Profile。伪专业+腐向侧写, 慎入!。你所追寻的究竟是什么。大家都是被吓大的，凭嘛就你变态了？。每集的名言。换角。这一季感情戏多了。精神虐待有时候比肉体虐待更可怕！。短评而已。随手记。 Criminal Minds是一部心理悬疑惊悚剧，一班精英汇集在一起，分析全国最棘手的罪犯的心理，并在他们再次施暴前预测出他们的下一步的行动。特别探员Jason Gideon是这个小组的头，他是FBI最顶尖的行为分析专家。其他专家包括：特别探员Spercer Reid博 士，一位典型的被人误解的天才，他的社交才能之低，正如他的智商之高特别探员Aaron Hotch，一个居家好男人，他总是能取得人们的信任，并让他们坦白心底的秘密特别探员Derek Morgan，一位强制性犯罪行为专家探员Elle Greenaway，她因为有过被性侵犯的经历而致力于这方面的研究和调查。每名组员将自己负责领域的调查分析结果一起汇集起来，集思广益，精确分析出罪犯的动机和情感上的触发原因，以及时阻止他们再次行凶。
