This has so much potential for whump!Gideon, and AU. A combo of the two would means that Gideon would have to conduct himself very very carefully at the crime scene.
On the other hand, I could see an AU where Frank got his hands on Gideon, but sparing him when Gideon passes out the dissection table from the memories alone (because Frank needs his vics conscious), and being totally BSOD by the time the BAU arrives to unstrap him from it.
