Question about 7x01

[destinydefied.livejournal.com]

I just started watching Criminal Minds again after taking off for a couple of years, so I just watched 'It Takes a Village.' When Reid is being questioned by Senator Cramer, Cramer says that Reid is 'the only one who has not requested reinstatement to the unit.' And then nothing! No explanation for that at all.
In the last episode of Season 6, Hotch said they could all leave if they wanted, but nothing about having to be reinstated. Does anyone know what Cramer was taking about?

It was stated in the Erica Messer chat that Reid had a line that was cut. Apparently he said something about not having to be reinstated to something he never left in the first place (or something like that). I'm with you...it did seem odd not to have that explained. That is probably why she mentioned it.

Well that's a relief. I was torn between being excited that this was the beginning of a Reid plot line and terrified that that plot line was Reid taking a sabbatical or transferring.
