Reid's addiction

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:)

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!
