She appears to be skilled at chess, and it is possible that she is better at the game than Reid. JJ once asked Prentiss how she could handle the stress from being with the BAU, especially since her last position was a desk job. Hotch concurred that she had "never blinked," and Prentiss could only reason that she "compartmentalizes better than most" " Revelations ". After a bad date in the following episode, she admits to Morgan that she is a "nerd," despite how much she tries to hide it.
For this reason, she hasn't had much success romantically. She discovers that she and Morgan share similar tastes in books when they begin discussing Kurt Vonnegut , particularly Slaughterhouse 5. Prentiss is very level-headed and calm, sometimes it could be said that she seems to be dealing with the cases in an even more professional manner than some other members of the BAU. However, like Elle before her, Prentiss lets her own emotions get the better of her on a few occasions.
She has been shown to react emotionally at the crime scenes and feels a strong surge of empathy for the victims. She also appears highly intelligent and driven.
Prentiss is willing to put herself at risk to protect others and has a very sarcastic sense of humor. In " Lessons Learned ", in her first case with the team, she, Gideon, and Reid travels to Gitmo to question and help interrogate suspected terrorist Jamal Abaza behind the scenes. In, " Sex, Birth, Death ", Prentiss is accused by Hotch of leaking information about a case to a congresswoman. Firmly denying this accusation, Prentiss tells Hotch that she thinks politics "makes people distrustful, hate themselves, tear families apart and damage people," implying that her home life as a child was not pleasant, due to her mother's job.
In " Honor Among Thieves ", Prentiss' mother comes to the team for help on a case. By the episode's end, Prentiss invites her mother to dinner, hoping to repair their strained relationship.
Strauss asks Prentiss to sabotage Hotch's career by spying on him and relaying confidences back to Strauss, especially concerning Elle Greenaway's shooting of a suspect and Reid's struggle with Dilaudid.
She seems to consider this offer, and the season ends with a cliffhanger. In " Doubt ", Prentiss is called by Strauss to see if she has made any process on finding information on Hotch. Prentiss throws her cell phone in the nearest trash can after hanging up.
After some convincing from Hotch, she returns to the team for a case ; her resignation having never gone through the system due to technical interference from Garcia, and the issue has not been brought up since. Upon her return, Section Chief Strauss remarks that neither Prentiss, Hotch, nor the rest of the team would be able to climb the ladder to the top because of all this, thus putting an end to some of Prentiss's future ambitions.
In " Seven Seconds ", Prentiss figures out that the aunt of the victim was the unsub, whom she kidnapped to protect her husband , who was molesting her and interrogates her for the victim's location. In " 3rd Life ", she implied to Hotch that when she was an adolescent, she smoked and dressed inappropriately as a way to rebel against her parents. In " Tabula Rasa ", a high school photo reveals that Emily was a goth. In the season finale " Lo-Fi ", she shoots and kills an armed suspect after the suspect shoots a New York police officer.
In the episode " Minimal Loss ", she and Reid are held hostage by a religious cult. When the cult leader finds out that one of them is an FBI agent, Prentiss admits her identity, partially to protect Reid, and ends up getting beaten by the leader. Prentiss antagonizes the leader by twice repeating "I can take it" to keep the rest of the team from coming in, knowing that they are listening via bugs and that it would put everyone inside of the building in danger.
Later, Prentiss reassures Reid that it was not his fault and asks him not to feel guilty. In " Demonology ", more of Prentiss' childhood is revealed after hearing and learning from an old friend that their childhood friend died, prompting her and the rest of the team to investigate a series of deaths involving exorcisms. In " Nameless, Faceless ," Prentiss is the first to discover that Hotch is missing. She first tells Garcia and then Reid first but not before promising them not to tell the others working on their current case.
She stays with him the entire time he's at the hospital after Foyet stabs him nine times, even when the rest of the team go to retrieve his ex-wife and son, Haley and Jack.
In " Outfoxed ", Prentiss and Hotch visit Karl Arnold in prison to ask for his input on a current case ; Prentiss even flirts to Karl to get more out of him. After the interrogation, Karl reveals that he has received communications from Foyet and that he is planning to return to make a final stand against Hotch. Karl reveals several notes featuring Foyet's signature symbol, The Eye of Providence.
In " ," Prentiss began tearing up as she heard Haley being shot three times by Foyet. She's shocked to see Hotch has beaten Foyet to death. She became repeatedly disturbed by how the victims were forced to live their final moments in fear and insecurity by the unsub. She personally kicked him to the ground and as she puts her gun to his head, she tells him that when an inmate tries to have his way with him, just play along, as he forced his victims to do. In " Retaliation ", Prentiss is in a car accident while transporting a prisoner to the local police station.
Despite sustaining severe injuries, Prentiss manages to escape the police cruiser via the windshield and fire on the fleeing suspects as they escape. Morgan finds Prentiss on the roadside and she is taken to the hospital where she is treated for a concussion and several cuts and contusions.
She insists on quickly returning to the job and plays an instrumental role in solving the case. She is almost killed by the unsub but Rawson, who was using a sniper rifle from another rooftop, manages to shot the unsub twice and kills him. In " Exit Wounds ", Prentiss is debating on whether she should call Rawson or get a cat.
She eventually gets a black cat named Sergio. In " Compromising Positions ", she risks her life and is nearly killed while going undercover in order to dissuade a mentally-unstable unsub who is in the company of numerous bar patrons and employees, all in danger of being gunned down. When she accidentally gets one of the unsub's facts wrong, he is provoked into shooting her, but she shoots him first, firing her pistol hidden in a purse.
Prentiss then watches as he dies. In " The Thirteenth Step ", Prentiss learns from a former colleague at Interpol, Sean McAllister , that Ian Doyle , an apparently highly dangerous criminal, has escaped from his North Korean prison and gone off the grid and apparently killed a man and stole his car. Sean warned her that he might come after her and that everyone is in danger. At the beginning of " Sense Memory ", in her apartment, when the phone rings and the caller ID is unknown, Prentiss lets it go to message and listens to the recording.
The caller, presumably Doyle, is completely silent and hangs up. In response, Prentiss sets up some noise-traps near all entrances and exits in the apartment, sits down in the hallway with a gun, turns off the lights, and waits. When Prentiss returns to her apartment after a case, she finds a package by her door. When she opens the package, it turns out to contain a small, purple-white flower. There is a flashback to some time earlier when she is working in a flowerbed filled with the same flowers, apparently by a mansion somewhere in France.
Kate Callahan decided she needed to take some time away to care for with adopted daughter and soon-to-be-born baby. Like her character, Jennifer Love Hewitt left the show at the same time for maternity reasons. Like the character, Hewitt was pregnant with her second child and it was announced before Season 11 that she would be leaving the show to care for her growing family. Rachel Nichols joined the show first as a guest star in a three-episode arc that eventually morphed into her getting signed on as a full cast member.
She joined as Ashley Seaver, an up-and-coming FBI trainee, but that gig was controversial at first, with fans angry that she was seemingly replacing the two popular characters played by A. Cook and Paget Brewster.
She was let go after just one season when Cook and Brewster returned. Gupton departed the show as fast as he joined when the network decided not to renew his contract in the wake of a number of cast maneuvers before Season Elle Greenaway had a violent end to her run with the BAU, both being shot and shooting suspects in her final episode.
Lola Glaudini's personal reason for leaving the Criminal Minds cast was not nearly as dramatic. She reportedly wasn't happy living in LA where the show is shot and wanted to return to her home on the East Coast. So there it is. The topsy-turvy world that is the Criminal Minds cast.
It's been a wild ride for the fans of the show and for the actors that have helped make the show the huge success it is. Do you think everyone in the cast will make it all the way until the end a year from now? Hugh Scott. Brewster was a full-time cast member on the series up until season 7 when she actually left the show with the goal of pursuing other things.
At the end of season 11, she finally returned for the final episode that Derek Morgan Shemar Moore appeared in full-time. She came back for good in season 12 in all her glory. Prentiss has been a staple addition to the BAU team ever since and is actually the current Unit Chief of the group.
Brewster spoke with TV Guide about returning to Criminal Minds and how much she loves the people she works with. I love the cast and the crew. We'll start.
