Isn't it a 2 part finale? Or am I wrong?

no the finale is a two hour bit: Brother's hotchner (with Sean! *whee!) and then The replicator

And now I'm hoping against hope that this episode will somehow line up with Riding the Lightning.

So, any Blake likers after this episode? :)

Personally I like her a lot, and her relationship with husband is interesting, they clearly love each other, or he loves her a lot, and the ending scene was very touching. I also like her phoning him during the case, meaning he was on her mind. Also LOVED Reid/Blake moment. And Rossi/Blake fist bumping moment :D

About the case. Scenario unfortunately, very predictable to me. I suspected the #6 was our unsub the moment the other woman got kidnapped (the change of MO - and lack of any indication the first kidnapped woman had an affair, the mask during the second kidnapping). And when the Unsub played the "victim" it was clear he got off the scenario/situation they were in. Also it was obvious they'll need the estranged wife to save the kidnapped woman. And I find it odd that Maya the unsub wife didn't got a kevlar vest. Her psychotic husband could do anything to her, so I find it careless to endanger her in such a way.

But I liked how the team was focused on profiling different parts of the investigation thus approaching the case from different angles (maps, cars, the victims - the wounds) - a true team work. To be honest I kinda puzzled that I liked the sharing of the case load in this episode. After all they always split in twos and do it that way. But then again maybe in this episodes the team really shared the different aspects that summed up into the whole profile? anyway, I liked the teamwork in this episode. And we got some good ole profiling too.

Do we get a two parter next week for the finale?
