* AlasPoorVillain: Megan's death is portrayed as a somber scene.



* FemmeFatale: To be expected when the killer is a prostitute.
* FirstNameBasis: Megan assumes it with Hotch, openly calling him "Aaron". Much to the team's surprise.
* FishOutOfWater: Prentiss and Reid are hopelessly, hilariously, lost and out of place outside the madam's apartment.

* GoOutWithASmile: Megan dies content, knowing that she has exposed her father's crimes, and is dying with Hotch. "The first man who didn't let me down".
* HighClassCallGirl: Megan, but it isn't for the money or sex. It's to punish the men on the list.

* MsFanservice: Megan. She ''is'' a call girl after all.
* StayWithMeUntilIDie: Megan to Hotch. He does.
-->"Your the first man who didn't let me down."
* SympatheticMurderer: Megan, with her BrokenBird status and what assholes most of her victims are.
* VillainousBreakdown: Megan's killing of Trent marks the beginning of her devolving.
