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.

I also think that there would have been some more indication on Hotch's part that something other than a stabbing took place .... he'd be flinching away from physical contact or something to that effect, even if he didn't break down and fall apart.

I really don't think that a rape took place

That's just it. Hotch doesn't flinch. He didn't even blink at the gunshot.

Maybe Hotch doesn't flinch .... but don't you think the network/writers would show him pulling away from the nurses or Haley or something to show an implication of something other than just a stabbing? If there was something other than a stabbing?
