9.09 Strange FruitRossi needs a hug after that episode. u_____u The things they reveal during interrogations, right? They’re so determined and committed to getting to the truth that they’re willing to talk about something painful or admit something they’ve never spoken about to anyone else.Taking a page out of Bones, the BAU plus their Unit Chief (JJ offhandedly commented that people think they’re having an affair so yay, they’re not!) are sent to investigate why there are skeletons (yes plural) buried in a family’s backyard. The son, Lyle, started running the second he discovered the FBI had set up camp behind his house. But trapped between a rabid dog and Hotch with a gun, he had no choice but come peacefully with them.It was soon obvious that the mother (Lost’s Rose! :D) had nothing to do with anything. Lyle was increasingly becoming more suspicious, and also more frustrating to interrogate. That’s another thing these people have mastered over the years - patience. Because despite Lyle’s stubbornness, as soon as JJ showed him a picture of Mary Ann Beck, his whole demeanor changed. It didn’t take long for him to break and hastily admit to the murders.Of course his sudden admission only convinced the team that he was, in fact, innocent. I was annoyed by his ‘Sir’ in the beginning but I was quickly saddened by how he broke he down in tears over Mary Ann Beck. :( He was protecting someone else, that much was certain. And that someone was his father, Charles. Now the team just have to work him to get a confession out of him.And that lucky person is our resident Italian from Long Island, Rossi. Both Charles and Lyle showed some anger management issues so Rossi just had to push the right buttons to get a reaction out of him. As more skeletons were discovered and more information came to light, it became apparent that this was an issue of racism. Charles was a victim of a very unfortunate hate crime from 35 years ago and he’s exacting his revenge on those people and their loved ones.He still won’t admit to it though so Rossi resorted to revealing something from his younger years: how he stuffed a black schoolmate in a locker.. and peed on him. :( He was pressured by some of his other bigger friends and he did it out of self-preservation but still, he was ashamed of it. So much so that he apologized to Morgan after cleaning himself up from the cup of water Charles chucked at his head.In the end it was Charles love for his son that urged him to come clean and help find the other bodies. After all that hate, it was still fatherly love that compelled him to tell the truth. He wanted to save his son from the rage that consumed him all these years and at least he gave him that. Closure for everybody.Now, can someone hug Rossi and tell him it’s okay? He has no one to go home to at the moment :( -- source link
