!!This episode provides examples of:
* AdultFear: The [=UnSub=] of the episode is a child trafficker. That's about as scary for a parent as it gets.
* BreatherEpisode: While the subject matter is still quite heavy, this episode is a noticeable outlier for the series with zero deaths, almost no violence, and an unambiguously happy ending, especially coming off of the Fisher King WhamEpisode two-parter.
* ControlFreak: Gideon pegs Cole as this early on. She's ultimately a {{Downplayed}} example. as while her controlling tendencies don't impair the investigation they also don't cohere well with the BAU's team dynamic.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Reid, Elle, and J.J. all have different hairstyles from the previous episode, demonstrating that some time has passed since then (specifically, the duration of Elle's medical leave).
* IHaveBrothers: Garcia has four, enabling her to identify the Boy Scouts-esque organization that Peter/Dustin owns a jacket belonging to because they were all part of it too.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: As of this episode (and for the rest of the series), Garcia gets this treatment.[[note]]She was always considered main cast by the production team, but there wasn't enough budget to include her in the first season.[[/note]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: While she was never a total sweetheart, Elle has become noticeably more impulsive and rebellious since getting shot by the Fisher King, which concerns the rest of the team (Reid in particular).
* WouldHurtAChild: This episode's [=UnSub=] is a child kidnapper and trafficker who stole the kid from his mother when he was a year old, and shows no compunctions about killing him when the attempted sale gets found out.
