I don't exactly know where I stand on this. I really liked the dynamic between Hotch and Haley, back when Haley was still alive (Something to do with high school sweethearts that always get to me). If they recreate that kind of connection with this Beth character, I will be very upset. I need them to kind of let on about the relationship, and develop it slowly. I don't normally warm up to new characters until after at least 10 episodes. If this is a hit and run sort of thing, I wouldn't take it very seriously. I just don't really see Hotch as being the kind of: "Okay, time to move on and stop praying to mommy, Jack!" kind of person.

Even though it's been what, at least 1 year, I still find it a little too early for this. I agree that Hotch deserves some happiness but...this just feels iffy and nags at my chest somewhere. However, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and cling to my high hopes somewhere.

BTW, totally agree with the Hotch multitasking thing. He seems to have a lot of time to do a lot of things recently...doesn't seem too realistic...
