Somebody get that poor girl out of that atrocious wig

Atrocious wig! What the hell is even that!

That's mainly all what I wanted to say. But here's a longer review to meet the minimum word requirement:

Great child actors, the actress for Ellie especially leveled up since her last appearance. Too bad she had to deal with that dora the explorer wig or I could've taken her more seriously.

Love the episodes that show more of Morgan's empathetic side. Making him good with with kids adds a another layer to his character and ties back to his own traumatic childhood (revealed back in s2e12: 'Profiler, Profiled').

As main plots go it's one of the more decent episodes of this season with a believable unsub, but has a pretty formulaic narrative structure with a predictable ending.
