• Assistant Director Linda Barnes : Now we need to ensure that mistakes, likes the ones you made today, never happen again

  Jennifer Jareau : Mistakes *we* made?

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : That said, Agent Prentiss, your suspension is lifted. You'll be reassigned within the Bureau. Your new post has yet to be determined

  Penelope Garcia : What?

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : Agent Lewis, you will also be reassigned. Agent Reid, you will be a full-time professor with our exchange program. Agent Rossi, the FBI deeply appreciates your service, and the director wishes you nothing but the best in your retirement. Agent Simmons, Agent Alvez, you will remain here at the BAU. Garcia, your loyalty to the team is appreciated, but it feels like a fresh start in a different department would be best

  Penelope Garcia : Fresh start? I don't want a fresh start. I need... I need to be here

  Jennifer Jareau : I'm fired, aren't I?

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : No. You're the conditional unit chief of the BAU. Congratulations

  Jennifer Jareau : There's no such thing

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : You're right. There wasn't. But I was able with the director's approval to create a new position just for you. I won't be going into the field with you anymore, but you will run every decision past me, big and small, before you act. Good night

  Penelope Garcia : This can't be the end. Can it?

• Assistant Director Linda Barnes : Because this is exactly the kind of case the BAU takes from here on

  David Rossi : Maybe it's just me, but I need at little help understanding our new case selection criteria

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : We want cases with good optics that are also quick and easy to clear

• Assistant Director Linda Barnes : Your daughter is in the Bay Area, huh? It's beautiful up there

  David Rossi : [Reluctant]  Yeah

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : I hear you have a grandson who is five? My son just turned six. It seems like just yesterday when he was in my arms at the hospital and now Kenny doesn't want a hug when I drop him off at school

  David Rossi : Hmm

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : I look forward to the day I can sit my porch, enjoy the sunset, glass or red in my hand, with not a care in the world

  David Rossi : Okay, stop!

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : Stop what?

  David Rossi : You're sniffing around to see if I am up for retirement

  Assistant Director Linda Barnes : Don't be so paranoid, agent Rossi, I am just making conversation. Besides I am not in the position to do that

  David Rossi : That's right, because when it is time for me to retire, I'll let you know
