* BrokenBird:Her Watched her family was murdered die before her eyes, then ended up kidnapped by the man responsible after he developed a disturbing interest in her. It's amazing how she actually ends up downplaying this trope by staying firmly against Billy Flynn the whole way through.
* {{Foil}}: To Tracy Belle from Season Two. Both were intended victims of dangerous [=UnSubs=] who were saved just in time by the [=BAU=], but Tracy is a blond-haired girly-girl andshe was kidnapped.still has her family with her, while Ellie is a black-haired tomboy who acts a lot more precocious.
* DrivenToSuicide: He's thankfully stopped by the prostitute he lured into a room with him when she calls Reid and helps him with his slit wrists.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: A dark variation. He certainly ''wants'' to be a better person despite his mother claiming he's already a nice guy, and he's actively trying to seek help for his condition, except his condition is psychopathy and he's fighting an urge to kill for pleasure, all while being accused of the spree killings taking place during the episode.
* RedHerring: He spends most of "Sex, Birth, Death" being accused of being the [=UnSub=] since he tangentially fits the profile, and admitted to wanting to kill prostitutes just when the spree killings began. Except of course, he's not the killer, nor does he want to be one.
** The whole episode also teases that he might end up succumbing and kill someone, but when he finally does get the chance, he ends up trying to kill himself instead.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: He's finally given the opportunity to kill a prostitute near the end after having one alone with him in a motel room. But after so much mental torture and still wanting to resist his violent urges, he ends up cutting his own wrists instead of hurting her, and she successfully helps to contain the bleeding until paramedics arrive.

Like Strauss, Barnes is a higher power within the FBI who oversees the BAU's activities and is generally perceived as a "villain" for the team, interfering with the group and nearly causing their complete separation. However, while Erin was obstructive and did have personal grievances with the old team, at least she maintained tact and, once she understood how well they operated when left to their devices with moderate supervision, she began to actively help the team a little more. Barnes, on the other hand, willingly separated the Internation Response Team and withdrew information of a certain case to aid her own climb in the FBI's ranks, while also managing to separate the BAU on technicalities and enforced accolades to look more diligent than she really is.
