The BAU is made up of the brightest FBI agents. They've caught countless killers and whatnot over the years with impeccable skill and intelligence. There has never been a problem with the team unable to do their jobs correctly.
But wait! In "What Happens at Home," Hotch immediately decides they can't do it, so he gets help--no, not an expert like Rossi but a freaking cadet!!! Why? She was the daughter of a serial killer. WHAT THE FUCK. That makes her qualified to spot other serial killers? Huh? The team has seen and caught serial killers in the past, and pertinent to this case, in a residential setting. This isn't some extreme circumstance which requires outside eyes.
If the writers or CBS wanted to introduce a new character, that's fine. But if they want to introduce a newbie with no extra training and place her on a team when she clearly has no place on it, then that's ridiculously stupid. And how exactly is she going to stay on the team? Clearly, she's not cut out for the job. She's inexperienced, highly emotional, and almost got herself killed already. My brain hurts over how terrible this situation is.
Score: 7.0/10
