"how was spence?" evelyn asks jj as she walks in from going to see spencer. evelyn had decide to stay back and quantico for the case they were on, the day hitting her hard. "he's good. well as good as you can be when you're an innocent person in prison." she says. "he asked about you." she continues, evelyn's face lighting up. "he asked how you were holding up." she said. "what did you say?" evelyn asks. "i told him you were doing too well." she says, knowing evelyn wouldn't like it. "jj." evelyn whines. "i know i know! but it's true, you're not. i'm not gonna hide that from him." jj defends. "he says he's really really sorry about this whole situation and he's sorry he's hurting you." jj says. "it's not his fault." evelyn says. "i told him that but he- he's really upset about it. he misses you a lot." she says. "he really loves you. he didn't say that-well i mean he did- but i can tell. i've never seen him like this. even with maeve." jj says. evelyn smiles sadly. "he promises he'll get out soon. i know you hate hearing soon, but he promises, okay?" jj says. evelyn nods, tears beginning to fall from her eyes. "i miss him so much. why does he have to be so stupid and not put me on the damn guest list?" she cries. jj hugs her tightly. "i know you don't like it. he doesn't either, but if you were on the list, some of them would be looking at you, which spence wouldn't like. he didn't even like them looking at me, imagine that but with you, his girlfriend. and you can't touch him. at all. no hugging, no kissing, nothing." jj says. "god that's absolute torture. my love language is literally physical touch and affection." evelyn laughs softly through her tears. "he will come home. i don't know when, but i promise you, it will be before this baby is here." jj says, comforting her.

evelyn's phone rings as she was waiting for the coffee to brew, answering it as she saw who it was. "emily? is everything okay?" she says, slightly worried. emily had gone to fight to get spencer out of prison and she was confident emily could do it, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, which worried her. "evelyn." emily sighs contently. "go get him." she says. evelyn could practically hear emily's smile as she replied. "on my way." she said, hanging up and rushing out and over to the prison. spence was brought to a room and his handcuffs were taken off. he looked around confused, his back to the door. the door opened and spencer turned around, revealing evelyn standing in the doorway, tears in her eyes as his face lights up as he knew what that meant. "we're taking you home." evelyn says softly. spencer smiles softly, hugging her tightly, evelyn immediately hugging him back. "oh my good i missed you so so much." she said, her face buried in his neck. they pulled away, spencer cupping her cheeks with his hands and kissing her softly. "i'm still mad at you though." she says once he pulled away. "that's okay. that's so okay." he says, hugging her tightly. "now please let's get out of here." he says, holding her hand as they walked out. once spencer got changed he was able to walk out with luke and evelyn, penelope waiting for them on the other side. of course she was an emotional wreck, hugging him tightly. "let's get my mom back." he said once they pulled away. "yeah." penelope says, smiling at him.

"so we know lindsey convinced scratch to run drugs across the border." luke says. "and that lindsey's been operating from two locations- an apartment next to reid's and a house in south east d.c." dave says. "and that's where we think she's keeping your mom." evelyn says. scratch isn't afraid to plot an elaborate trap. i want a full breakdown of that house before we set one foot inside." emily says, dismissing the group. "spencer. you can't officially go until you're reinstated." emily's says "so that includes going to my apartment, since it's a crime scene." spencer says. "that's right. it's sealed and guarded by metro p.d. but you are the resident. you got it?" emily says. "got it." spencer nods. emily dismissing him and evelyn, spencer waiting for the door to be opened, used to prison. "you all right?" evelyn asks, spencer  looking back at her. "uh, it's open." she says awkwardly. "of course." spencer says, opening the door. the drove to his apartment, going under the yellow tape and into his apartment. "he's the resident, he's just gonna grab a few things." evelyn says, showing her credentials to the officer. spencer walks over to a photo album that was on the coffee table in front of the couch, sitting on the couch to look at it. "what is it?" evelyn asks. "this picture was on a different page." he says, picking up the picture and flipping it over 'xx-xy' being written in the back in red marker. "does that mean something to you?" she asks. "only the obvious, male and female chromosomes." he says, looking at the picture. "lindsey's way of telling us she's with search." he says.
