The Return Of Buford
31 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The BAU are brought to Chicago to investigate the brutal murders of several men in Morgan's old neighborhood. A phrase the unsub scrawled at his murder scenes "Look up to the sky" tells Morgan that the killer was another victim of the man who molested him as a boy,Carl Buford. The scene where Morgan gets a victims list from Buford is electric. You can see Morgan still hates his guts and Buford hasn't changed a bit, despite his conversion to Islam. The killer turns out to be Rodney Harris,a guy who harassed one of Morgan's sisters on Morgan's previous home visit. Morgan takes him alive after talking him down .Also,in another note,Stan Gordynski apologies to Morgan for arresting him before and for the way he treated him as a boy. The performances are good Shemar Moore shines as Morgan cgoid onfronting the demons of his past,and Julius Tennon is even creepier then in his first episode. Skipp Sudfuth is good as the repentant Gordynski,and Thomas Gibson is strong as always as Hotch. One of the best.
