The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (Criminal Minds)
Guest is a member of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). The story begins as the team gathers in the briefing room for a new case. The atmosphere is tense and professional as Garcia begins presenting the details on new, paperless iPads. The case is immediately shown to be a disturbing one, involving dismembered bodies, which causes visible reactions of discomfort and distress among the team members. The established dynamics of the unit are on full display as they prepare to delve into the mind of a new killer.
The team consists of several distinct personalities. Garcia is the tech analyst, who talks quickly when nervous. Spencer Reid is a genius who is uncomfortable with new technology. Derek Morgan is teasing and playful, but knows when to be serious. Aaron Hotchner is the stern, authoritative unit chief who commands respect with a single glare. Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau is sensitive and visibly affected by gruesome evidence. Emily Prentiss is composed and acts as a comforting presence for her teammates. David Rossi attempts to use humor to lighten the mood, though it's not always successful.
The BAU enters the meeting room, sitting in their respective seats at the circle table. Garcia passes iPads around. Reid eyes it with discomfort, questioning if they’d gone paperless. Morgan stifles a teasing remark, as Hotchner silences them with a glare.
Garcia clicks through the photos, talking quickly to avoid looking at the grotesque display of dismembered bodies that makes JJ wince. Prentiss is composed and sends her a comforting look. When Rossi’s remark fails to lighten the mood, he sobers up.
