Reid's addiction

[infinitycluster.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone, I hope its ok to ask this here. I recently started going back and watching earlier episodes that I missed several seasons ago, and just saw Revelations. I am very interested in the addiction sub-plot, I've been looking for episodes where the team actually catches on to what is happening with Reid. I don't want to sift through regular episodes because I'm dying to know what came of it. So, to make a long story short, can you guys tell me which of the episodes are Reid-centric, or have relevant info regarding his addiction?

Thanks:)

Reid's addiction is also alluded to in scenes (though not the focus) in 2x19, "Ashes and Dust," and 3x15, "A Higher Power." And although the scene in question does not have Reid in it, 3x02, "In Name and Blood" contains a scene in which other characters directly reference his drug use.

Whats the scene in 3x02? I just watched the episode two or three days ago, and can;t place a scene where the team talk about it...

Prentiss and Hotch, talking in Prentiss's kitchen. Hotch mentions that she knows that "one of my agents may have a serious drug problem, which I haven't reported, and if Strauss knew, she'd have my job."

The silent conversation between Reid and Gideon in Ashes and Dust is one of my favorite things about this series. That was the first episode of Criminal Minds I ever saw, and it went right over my head. Then, when I saw the episode again recently, there was just so much more there!

There's all this undercurrent going on with the characters and writing, and yet, it doesn't alienate the first-time viewer. It's almost completely episodic, but if you do watch it all through, you are rewarded with those added layers of meaning.

It's got layers, like an onion!

thanks I'll try In Name and Blood next.
