The same here, because I was thinking about that last night during my re-watch of the episode. I wonder if anyone else noticed the parallel's between what's happened to Reid and what's now happened with Hotch. Like the fact that in Elephant's Memory, Reid was the one who walked into a situation much the same way that Hotch did in last night's episode un-armed and was trying to save the unsub. And, Reid is the only other person on the team who could come close to understanding what Hotch is going through, because in Revelations he was taken and tortured for three days. And, in Faceless, Nameless Hotch was basically tortured sadistically in his own home. So, I wonder if the writer's are speaking to canon. Plus, it would be nice to see Hotch open up to Reid more than it would to see him open up to Prentiss or Morgan about it. Besides, if you look back over the season's Reid and Rossi are the two people that Hotch mostly opens up to about things, anyway. I'm just syain'...

But yeah, I said all of that to say that I agree with you. :)
