I liked the pacing of the episode as stated above. It went very fast and kept me interested the entire time.
I think Cruz is kind of heavy handed in his interrogation approach but it was nice to see that he has an idea of what field agents have to do, unlike Erin who was utterly clueless most of the time. I'm not sure how I feel about Cruz overall yet, except that I'm happy he and JJ are definitely not having an affair. I like Will.
This was a very tragic tale. It was also a great psychological story. The Unsub has deep-seated hatred and you can understand why. Telling the story in sort of a backwards fashion also provided a unique change of pace. While I did suspect the father from the start there were still many layers to the story and peeling them onion style is what our team does best.
I make no excuses for what Rossi did in his youth. He knows it was wrong now. Back then he reacted without thinking as he was a victim of bullying to some extent himself. Doesn't make it right, just gives the actions a context. I don't think Morgan and he need to talk about this issue. They are from two different generations and two different worlds socioeconomically. There is no way to reconcile who Rossi was as a young man with the person Morgan thinks he knows now. IMO it is enough for Rossi to own his mistakes and let them guide him to better choices throughout his life, which they clearly have.
