I can kinda see Reid with an Islamic girlfriend for two reasons: 1) I'm spoiled by TheKnittingLady's fabulous "One Safe Place" where an agnostic/atheist Reid falls for a (female) priest, and they get along famously; and 2) Middle Eastern (or Indian, as I kinda envision her) have some seriously top notch scientists. I went to GW, and the international community there was overwhelming.

Or maybe it’s just the Halloween episode.

Oh! Ding ding ding! That may very well have something to do with it! I forgot about that timing. I was seriously bummed last year when they forgot Reid's Halloween obsession.
