premiere hotch speculation

[ohshiznaps.livejournal.com]

This was discussed briefly on the episode discussion post, but i felt it needed it's own as it could be a HUGE added pain for our beloved leader.

The reaper, Hotch... was there a rape? it was most definitely insinuated, but i felt it was more of a "wait, WHAT?!" moment that passed to quickly to get  a full read on the situation.

im thinking no. if it had, i feel they would have put in more content to support it. all we really saw was a stab that looked below the belt. and the reaper was still fully in pants through the whole thing. 

unless it's something hotch blocked from his memory...

does anyone remember what the reaper said to him? about stabbing being a substitute for sex?

  if this has been discussed or anything already, feel free to mod it up.

They wouldn't tell the team, because HIPPA would prevent that. In fact, HIPPA should have prevented Emily from being able to look at his chart the way she did. BUT, that being said and this being magic TV-land, rape would have been noted on that chart, and Emily would have seen it.

Riiight, I totally forgot she looked over his chart.

LOL yeah, and my nurse friends are all frothing at the mouth over that. *G*

I thought they'd have to report it because his attack was being investigated, but your point about it being on the chart is good.
