* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The [=UnSub=]'s father never received punishment for domestic abuse because his wife and son always covered for him whenever local authorities come to his house. When the BAU come to his home, his wife finally admits that the two were covering their son's crimes. Regardless of whether or not he will be charged with domestic abuse, he will now serve jail time for obstruction of justice (which is a felony and has an even harsher sentence compared to the misdemeanor of domestic violence).

* DidntThinkThisThrough: when the [=UnSub=]’s abusive father is questioned about his whereabouts, he orders his wife to keep her mouth shut in a very threatening tone. It doesn’t occur to him that he really shouldn’t do that in the presence of FBI agents and the local sheriff. The next time he’s seen, he’s in a jail cell, presumably for interfering with a federal investigation.

An Alaskan town has a serial killer who kills every other day. Evidence points to the [=UnSub=] being a psychopath who kills for his own amusement. The locals think it's natural to have basic hunting skills, like the [=UnSub=] has. The BAU detects a pattern in that the victims all planned to leave the town, even if one of them tries to leave ''because'' there's a serial killer at large.
