It's almost because of that trope that I though they might let her live, since they've already done it and in general it's so overused. And this just seemed extremely unnecessary? I mean most of Reid's previous development has been about how much his life sucks, it would be nice if he could be happy for at least one season. I guess I hoped the writers would finally let something good happen to him, so when they killed her off it wasn't shocking so much as "goddammit did they really have to do this" for me. Okay stopping now before this becomes an essay haha
