"Lauren" Question

I just finished watching "Lauren" - I know lol but I wasn't able to watch it yesterday and my DVR only "partially" recorded it *rolls eyes*.

Since this may contain spoilers for this episode and possibly a past episode from season....2 or 3 maybe, please look under the cut for my question.

I considered looking through the post that was focused on this episode, but there are 631 comments lol and I'm not sure I have that kind of patients.


In "Lauren" they mention numerous times the fact that the only family Emily had was the team. Then, at Emily's funeral, the only people who were the main focus was the team and you really couldn't tell who anyone else was.

So, my question is what's up with Emily's mom? I know we met her in that episode about the Russian family. Even if Emily isn't really dead, wouldn't it be kind of weird if her mom wasn't at the "funeral"? Did something happen to her mom that I'm forgetting or didn't know about?

Just wondering if anyone noticed this and could tell me if I'm just being stupid and forgetting something.

The team was her Family, her mother and other blood relations, if any, are just Relatives.

That's how I took it to mean, but then again that's how I am about people in my own life so it makes perfect sense to me. *shrug*

Except that we never got the impression of extrangement in the episode where we saw her mother. So, to me, it doesn't really fit with what we already know. Yes, she and her mother have issues in their relationship, but nothing from what we saw extreme enough to make it seem like they were "just blood relations".

Hmmm, I may have to try and watch that again, because I did get that impression. From what I remember they were a bit uncomfortable and awkward with each other, at least until the very end of the episode when they make a peace of sorts.
Then the comment Prentiss made to Hotch in another episode about how much she hated politics and how it destroys families. Struck me as being very much spoken from experience.

And now am very curious and may just have to watch some CM this weekend. *g*
