- Dr. Spencer Reid: I didn't know you were a bad flyer.
- David Rossi: I'm not. I just hate turbulence.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You know, turbulence very rarely causes planes to crash.
- David Rossi: That does me absolutely no good at the moment. Thank you.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What we really need to worry about are microbursts - a sudden downburst of air associated with thunderstorms - but small craft like this one, if we hit one of those at the wrong altitude...
- [pantomimes explosion]
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Get pulverized.
- David Rossi: [to the rest of the team] I beg of you to make him stop.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Hey, Hotch.
- Aaron Hotchner: Yeah?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I've been thinking... The vast majority of unsubs with this type of m.o. aren't driven by the killing, they're merely fascinated by the body parts. Psychologically, they exist in a realm where fantasy meets delusion. It's basically the perfect blueprint for creation of a serial killer b... I'm rambling, aren't I?
- Aaron Hotchner: Yes.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I should probably get to the point.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: All right, try looking for thefts involving body parts, specifically left legs.
- Penelope Garcia: Okay. See, this is why I can't talk about how my day was at dinner. Breakfast, lunch.
- [sees a search result]
- Penelope Garcia: Spencer, you scare me.
- David Rossi: Join the club.
- Penelope Garcia: A left leg was stolen off a body a year ago at the Riggio Funeral Home in Tulsa. They never found who did it.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: It's Frankenstein.
- Derek Morgan: What?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The UnSub isn't just trying to put his brother back together, he's trying to bring him back from the dead. He believes that tornadoes have the power to take life, so conversely, they should have the power to restore it.

- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: Hey buddy. Guess who's on the phone.
- Henry LaMontagne: Mommy!
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Hi! Hi, little man. How... How are you? I heard you went to the doctor.
- Henry LaMontagne: Are you coming home, Mommy?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Not yet, buddy. Um, tomorrow. I promise. So, are you ready for story time?
- Henry LaMontagne: Yeah!
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Yeah? Okay. Daddy, are you ready? Bedtime For Baby Star. Once there was a baby star. He lived up near the sun. And every night at bedtime, that baby star wanted to have some fun. He would shine and shine and fall and shoot and twinkle, oh, so bright. And he said, "Mommy, I'll run away if you make me say good night." And then his mommy kissed him on his sparkly nose and said, "No matter where you go, no matter where you are, no matter how big you grow, and even if you stray far, I'll love you forever, 'cause you'll always be my baby star."
- Henry LaMontagne: Good night, Mommy.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Good night.
- Penelope Garcia: P.G. at your service, don't let the name fool ya.
- Derek Morgan: Baby girl you're on speaker.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Garcia can you look for grave robberies in tornado alley over the last five years?
- Penelope Garcia: Okey Dokey, searching.Oh it's a shockingly big list. Who knew grave robbing was so on trend?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Central Plains. Right in the middle of Tornado Alley.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: If this UnSub is using tornadoes as a forensic countermeasure, then Kansas certainly is the ideal setting. Tornadoes do pose a significant threat. During this year's Super Outbreak back in April, there were 336 confirmed tornadoes in just several days, resulting in over 300 lives lost.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Who's that with Hotch?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: There's been another abduction. A boy named Shaun Rutledge. That's his younger brother Billy.
- Derek Morgan: Says a young white guy in an RV attacked them with a crowbar in the rain.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: He's also changed his victim selection criterion. The boy he grabbed gets straight A's, plays football, even volunteers at his church.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: So he wanted him so badly he was willing to leave a witness?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Which suggests he's losing touch with reality and his delusions are starting to take over.
- Derek Morgan: What is it about this kid that was so attractive to him?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: He was teenage and Caucasian like the others, right?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: We also think that a sexual element may actually not be at play.
- Derek Morgan: So then what the hell is driving this guy?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Maybe it's love. What if he's trying to recreate someone he loves?
- Derek Morgan: It is an emotion that drives us to extremes.
- Aaron Hotchner: [Rossi enters his office] You don't have to be here.
- David Rossi: Ah, I get antsy when I'm gone too long. And thanks for the team's donation to ALS in Carolyn's name. She would have appreciated it.
- Aaron Hotchner: So, how you doing?
- David Rossi: I'm okay. It's funny, though. We were divorced twenty years, and I never missed her as much as I do right now.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: [voiceover] "Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are." -Arthur Golden
- Penelope Garcia: So, local PD have IDed your victims. I'm putting this all on your tablets if you'd like to follow along. First up is Jason Meredith, sixteen year old runaway from Garden City, Kansas. Mom said he took off over a year ago. Next up is Eric Janelle. Fifteen year old foster kid from Wichita. He's been gone three weeks. Oh, both of these kids have records, for possession and prostitution.
- Emily Prentiss: They were street hustlers.
- Aaron Hotchner: High-risk kids. This could be a sexual predator.
- Derek Morgan: An extremely violent one, if the unsub is responsible for the damage done to the bodies, especially those missing limbs.
- Emily Prentiss: Well, now, he could be keeping the body parts for some sort of fetish.
- Penelope Garcia: Ugh! Okay, eww. That is my cue. I'm here if you need me, with my binary machines that don't say gross things.
- Aaron Hotchner: [voiceover] "For the man sound of body and serene of mind, there is no such thing as bad weather; every day has its beauty, and storms that whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously" -George Gissing
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Ah, I finally got him down.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: He still feel warm?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: The ibuprofen must have kicked in.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: It's that preschool. Place is like a petri dish.
- [JJ gets a text message]
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: Thought you had a few days off. What's the case?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: It's about some missing kids.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: Guess you gotta go in then, huh?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Please don't walk away like that. We've talked about this. I know this is hard on you.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: Henry, too.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: On all of us. Look, if I had someone to cover my shifts, I would. What if it was Henry?
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: Don't. It's not Henry. Henry's right in there.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: What if it was? You'd want someone out there looking for him.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: No, I know. You're right. It's just... Things worked better when you were at the Pentagon.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: I wasn't helping anyone there, Will.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: You worked normal hours and weekends off.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Fine. I'll tell them I can't come in.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: Don't do that.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: I was supposed to have time off. Henry's not feeling well.
- Detective William LaMontagne Jr.: It's all right. You should go. I'll take care of it. Really, I got this. I'll see you when you get back.

- Travis James: Tucker, no. Don't. Tucker, no. Tucker, no. No. Get out!
- [wakes up]
- Travis James: Get out. Get out.
- [bangs a box]
- Travis James: It's coming, man! It's coming!
- [brings a man out of the house trailer]
- Travis James: It's beautiful, ain't it? The wrath of God himself! Just wait, man!
- Aaron Hotchner: Garcia, we just lost our Internet. We need you to guide us into the storm.
- Penelope Garcia: Consider me your eyes and ears, sir.
