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.

Date: Sep. 24th, 2009 10:41 pm (UTC)We're getting things from Hotch's POV, so it's clear he doesn't really want to go there in his memories.
I got the impression, though, that he might have stabbed him in the groin area, either injuring him permanently (ie not being able to have children, not being able to be sexual) or penetrating him sexually with the knife. I think the show will make it more clear over time, but for right now, it's probably enough to give us room to speculate on the trauma Hotch is hiding.
