Emily Prentiss in 12x21 'Green Light'

“My plan may just be to save your son's life, raise him as my own, give him the chance to use his power in my service.”

I did know how Reid would end, but not how they got there and couldn't honestly guess for most of the episode. It was great seeing Rabbit back as much as having so many of the threads of the season intervowen through the various events and characters, such as the parallel between Voight and Caldera. Hank's attachment to Camille had been central the whole season, often commented upon by Chapman (who couldn't really get the hint there); Caldera has a wife dying of cancer. You can see Hank understanding how he may feel and he plays with it. But while Hank has always gone his own way, Caldera decided to take a different route.

The whole Chapman thing was a waste of time through the season and I do agree that Burzek deserved so much better for their wedding. Even though I get it. As a Burzek fan, I am disappointed. Narratively speaking though, from a more objective perspective, it made sense to conclude with that conversation between Chapman and Voight, which just went to show that she only ever had an idealized version of him in mind and never really got him while Voight was Voight-ing the whole time. A leopard can't change its spots, you know. Hope that's the last we see of her.
