History Characters / CriminalMindsUnsubsSeasonsEightToTen

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Much like in "Tabula Rasa", the episode centers around the aftermath of the BAU's arrest of the [=UnSub=], focusing on why his accomplice is unable to provide testimony.

* DropTheHammer: David uses a common hammer to kill and later knock his victims out with a single strong blow to their heads. Toby later incorporates this into his own M.O. along with torturing them.

-> ''"You took my money, and you hoarded my servers for your little crusade, and none of that is free. Even those women knew that."''

A man who framed his partner and continues to kill prostitutes as no one’s looking, with Garcia’s ex-boyfriend being involved.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He can act like a normal person, but it’s clear he’s very much deranged.

-> You took my money, and you hoarded my servers for your little crusade, and none of that is free. Even those women knew that.

* SerialKiller: Averted, he only kills two women in the episode and the BAU stopped him before he killed Greta Thomas.

* TragicVillain: The [=BAU=] sympathise with her to a degree in that [[SympatheticMurderer she's the sister of a rape victim who was horrifically failed by the police]]. What finally convinces Sheila to surrender is Rossi promising Lauryn's rapists, as well as those who helped them evade the law, will be arrested and prosecuted.

* TraumaCongaLine: Sheila's mother died of cancer in her late teens, leaving Sheila guardian to her younger sister Lauryn while struggling to pay off her mother's medical bills. A few years later, her sister is gang-raped and left for dead at a fraternity party; Sheila didn't find out until it was too late and Lauryn had already slipped into a coma from fatal alcohol poisoning. To make matters worse, Sheila later discovered the medical examiner at the hospital changed her sister's report from suspected rape to rough consensual sex because Lauryn's rapists were on the college football team and their coach (an old friend of the medical examiner) convinced him to alter it so they wouldn't be kicked off the team, while another student dying at the same party meant the sexual assault was completely ignored by the police. Sheila bankrupted herself keeping her little sister on life support (JJ and Morgan discover Sheila's finances are so dire she's on the verge of being evicted from her home), only to then have to end it when the doctors confirmed Lauryn would never recover. The team conclude that with all that trauma in Sheila's past, it's hardly a wonder she snapped.

* ColdBloodedTorture: He keeps his victims locked up in a pound cage and tortures them with a cattle prod and a high-pressure hose, treating them inhumanely to speed the effects of the virus on their systems.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: He didn't think to entertain the idea that his wife was happy with herself and didn't want fo be fixed and didn't anticipate she would actually be ''horrified'' by his projects.

* Didn'tThinkThisThrough: He didn't think to entertain the idea that his wife was happy with herself and didn't want fo be fixed and didn't anticipate she would actually be ''horrified'' by his projects.

* {{Foil}}: Their dynamic and "us versus them" mentality echoes the Mulford brothers from Season 2, with the noticeable difference that the Moore brothers are far less united and make their "prey" kill themselves instead of hunting them down methodically on their own. [[spoiler:While the Mulfords also orchestrated their own demise by pushing their prey too far and [[TogetherInDeath end up dying because of it]], Matthew does get arrested while Joshua dies alone in a bull-headed attempt to be a "badass". Even better, both sibling teams had one of the brothers be shot by Morgan in defense of their intended victims.]]
* FreudianExcuse: ''Averted''. The two are born sociopaths and suffered no obvious abuse from their parents besides their divorce. The only explanation for their methods is the fact they grew up playing violent video games their whole life.

* AGodAmI: James Burke's motivation is a severe God complex that makes him feel like he's the single most important individual in Indianapolis and everyone needs to respect and fear him.

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the type of "BDSM" portrayed in the real-life novel ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'', which "Bare Reflections" is a pastiche of; Murphy is an attractive wealthy male like Christian Grey, who sweeps up naive young women with his good looks and charm in order to get them on bed with restraints, except Murphy has become so utterly obsessed with the erotic asphyxiation aspect of BDSM that he uses it to satisfy a killing urge and leave these women dead in their homes. The episode was even released a month after the book's [[Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey film adaptation]] premiered on theaters, and the trailer for the episode uses the line "fifty shades of ''pain''".

''Sheila Harrison''': ''([[BrokenTears sobbing]])'' She was my responsibility.

* TraumaCongaLine: Sheila's mother died of cancer in her late teens, leaving Sheila guardian to her younger sister while struggling to pay off her mother's medical bills. A few years later, her sister is gang-raped and left for dead at a fraternity party; Sheila didn't find out until it was too late and Lauryn had already slipped into a coma from fatal alcohol poisoning. To make matters worse, Sheila later discovered the medical examiner at the hospital changed her sister's report from suspected rape to rough consensual sex because her sister's rapists were on the college football team and their coach (an old friend of the medical examiner) convinced him to alter it so they wouldn't be kicked off the team, while another student dying at the same party meant the sexual assault was completely ignored by the police.

The team conclude that with all that trauma in Sheila's past, it's hardly a wonder she snapped.

->''"You're ''sorry''?! Well, I am too, and look where we are. Sorry doesn't mean a damn thing."''

* PoliceAreUseless: Sheila clearly thinks so, given the death of another student at the same party and the actions of a corrupt medical examiner ensured Lauryn's rape was overlooked by the police. She even angrily asks the B.A.U. where they were when she was trying to get the local police to take her insistence Lauryn was raped seriously.

->''"You're sorry? Well, I am too and here we are. Sorry doesn't mean a damn thing."''

* UsefulNotes/StockholmSyndrome: Induced onto his kidnapped victims in order to make sure they would serve him flawlessly. His first "soldier", Stephanie Lawford, was even taken to serve the role of a "maternal figure" so the others would be convinced they were "family".

* UsefulNotes/StockholmSyndrome: Zigzagged; due to her psychological and physical torture, Daria became fully convinced that Bachner loved her and kept her around to help him, and descended into a delusional state of mind where she either admits she helped him willingly after a while, or talks to Morgan about them finding "Joe's partner" as if she's completely unaware she ''is'' said partner.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Two of her victims gang-raped her little sister and the third helped them avoid getting caught, so there's not a lot of tears to shed for them. For her fourth abductee, see DisproportionateRetribution above.

* StockholmSyndrome: Induced onto his kidnapped victims in order to make sure they would serve him flawlessly. His first "soldier", Stephanie Lawford, was even taken to serve the role of a "maternal figure" so the others would be convinced they were "family".

-->'''Derek Morgan''': You blame yourself for letting Lauryn go to that party.
-->'''Sheila Harrison''': ''([[BrokenTears sobbing]])'' She was my responsibility.

A vengeful abductor and budding serial killer in Memphis, Tenessee, the [=BAU=] are called in to investigate after she abducts three men and one woman. It turns out she's targeting those she holds responsible for the rape and death of her younger sister.

* ColdBloodedTorture: She punishes one of her sister's rapists by [[LaserGuidedKarma sodomising him with a fire poker]], forcing him to drink hydrochloric acid, then leaves him for dead in the same way he did to her younger sister.
** When another of her sister's rapists tries to claim he was [[ObfuscatingStupidity too drunk to remember what happened]], an enraged Sheila breaks one of his legs to "jog his memory".
* DisproportionateRetribution: Sheila's only intended female victim was Christy White, a college classmate of Lauryn's who invited her to the party, left Lauryn behind with her rapists when the cops broke up the fraternity party and then never bothered to visit Lauryn in hospital (in Christy's defence, she never knew Lauryn was raped and they weren't particularly close).
