Be careful if you use a ride-share app. Or rather, if you do, don’t then go up to a car with the company’s logo and hop in because it’s faster and you don’t want to wait for your car. And if you still do that, don’t then confess your sins on the phone so your driver can overhear. That’s the lesson Criminal Minds teaches with “Drive.”
Here are the most disturbing (and frankly, most Criminal Minds-y) moments from season 11 episode 12.

When he was a child, the principal at his school struck his hand and put his photo up on the Wall of Shame. He abused many of his students, and when he killed himself, he left a note apologizing for his sins of the flesh and moral weakness. To the UnSub, he took the easy way out.

If it’s on TV — especially if it’s a procedural or superhero show — chances are Meredith watches it. She has a love for all things fiction, starting from a young age with ER and The X-Files on the small screen and the Nancy Drew books. Arrow kicked off the Arrowverse and her true passion for all things heroes. She’s enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that her latest obsession is Prodigal Son.
