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 used the words "power and control" so often throughout past seasons to define male on male rape, and they also used the words "power and control" to describe Foyet TWICE in this episode. I think that was a pretty clear implication. :-/

Foyet is about MENTAL and EMOTIONAL power and control, though. Think about this--he stopped killing for ten years just to watch Shaughnessy's life fall apart. He's still messing with Hotch, and he's going to be watching.

I firmly disagree with the notion of actual physical rape.
