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:)

If I remember correctly, here are some that cover that: Season 2, The Big Game, Revelations, Distress and Jones; Season 3, Elephant's Memory; Season 4, Conflicted. If I'm mistaken, or left any out, let me know!

I would watch these three:
2x17 Distress
2x18 Jones
3x16 Elephant's Memory

They tend to deal with Reid and his drug addiction. You should also watch 3x12 because in 3x16 Reid talks about an event that happens in 3x12.

2x16, 2x17, and 2x18 all deal directly with Reid's reactions to what happened to him. 2x19, 3x02, 3x12, 3x15, 3x16, and then 4x20 all have mentions of it in them as well. Honestly, I'd just keep watching straight through - it worked really well for me.

3x16 is actually the only episode where it is directly said that Reid did have a drug problem. It's done obliquely mostly.

Try 4x24 (Amplification) as well - Reid refuses to take narcotics to relieve the pain of his anthrax symptoms. And if you squint really hard, you could also count the cookies/lollipop scene in 5x02 (Haunted) when he tells Garcia that his leg hurts all the time which might indicate he’s not taking any painkillers after being shot in the leg.
