"wait she's coming here?" evelyn exclaims at the news of cat adams was coming to the bau. "she's already here." penelope says as the elevator doors open, revealing the one and only cat adams. "She's a contract killer?" matt asks "Yeah, but she's much, much more than that, too." penelope pipes up. "She's a black widow. She preys on men she can seduce. She thrives on psychological seduction." "Had a body count which was never confirmed but it's believed to be in the hundreds." "She's one of the most dangerous criminals we've ever arrested, and she is obsessed with spencer." evelyn says. "He's the only man to ever outsmart her." "Classic negotiating technique. First one who speaks loses, right?" "You arranged the kidnapping of two people and you did it the same way you did it before, through a partner on the outside. But her demand, "release Cat Adams," that will never happen. So, tell me what you want right now, before I send you back to prison." spencer sternly says. "Oh. You don't know, do you? I stopped fighting." "Fighting what?" "The United States versus Catherine Adams. I had my lawyer plead guilty to all 73 counts... And request the death penalty." "Oh, you've grown a conscience now? I don't think so." "I'm bored, ok? Boooored. Death has to be more interesting than this. But it is funny, you know, when you... When you're counting the days left, you really do ask yourself, "what didn't I do?" And the only thing I could come up with was..." cat sighs. "You.""You haven't done me? Sexually violated me in Mexico." "I did? Are you sure? The drugs that made you hallucinate, they flood your brain with serotonin, right? So, what does that mean when it comes to..." cat whistles as her finger comes up, imitating getting a boner. "It's similar to MDMA. It's hard to..." spencer says, cat whistling again as her finger comes down. "That's right. Stop being the boy who cried rape, Spencie. It's not a good look. Plus, we... we don't have a lot of time." "For what?" I would like to go on a date... With you." "A date?" "Yes. I want to look pretty. And I want to have fun. And I won't even get physical, ok? Unless you want me to." "Come here. Closer. The only date that I'll be there for is the one where they stick a needle in your vein." "You're gonna let a father and daughter die? I don't think so." "I never said father and daughter. You're already slipping. We'll find them. We always do." "Not tonight. Tonight I win." "The score between me and you is two to zero. By tomorrow morning, it'll be a clean sweep. Enjoy eternal nothingness. It's a metaphor for your life." spencer says as he opens the door. "Nice to see you, too, Spencie." cat says as he closes it. spencer walks to an interview room, huffing, evelyn noticing as she came out of the bathroom. she follows him down the hall, spencer goes in, roughly undoing his tie and taking it off, shaking his hand as he breathed heavily. evelyn watched quietly, jumping when he screamed and pushed the stuff off of the counter. "spence." evelyn said softly, going in. "what?" spencer said harshly as he turned to her, his demeanor softening when he saw it was her. "it's okay. you don't have to do this." she said softly, rubbing her hands on his arms. "yes i do." spencer replied, walking out. evelyn sighs as he left, picking up his tie and the stuff that had fell. "Victimology's off." spencer said as he walked into the conference room after fixing his appearance. "How so?" emily asked. "Father and daughter. She's never done that before." "She usually kills men that remind her of her father. Children, even adult children, are off limits." Do we have an I.D. yet?" "No. No one's even reported these two as missing. You'd think a wife, a mom, someone would notice." "What do we know about the partner who was helping her?" "It's got to be someone from her prison. She hasn't had contact with anyone else. We can start with known associates who were recently released." "Ok, can I tell you what's bugging me? Every time we've gone up against Cat, there's the presenting agenda and the hidden one. If she sticks to pattern, this isn't just about going on a date with Spence." jj pipes up. "Right now, she's a fixed variable. We need to focus on identifying the unsub and her victims."

"Somehow you did it. You found what I couldn't. You found your father and you must have been furious when you discovered that he started over. Had another daughter. And that is why you deviated from your usual victimology. It wasn't enough to just hurt him. You had to hurt her, too." spencer says, walking into the interrogation room cat was in. "When are we going ice skating" she asks, turning to look at him. "We're not going ice skating. You know, we've been asking ourselves this whole time what your hidden agenda was, but you tipped it when you said that you were gonna win tonight. Even if I let you out of here, you'll still kill them." "So, no ice skating?" "No ice skating." "You should tell Garcia to check her email." cat says as spencer walks out. emily and penelope watch the video, emily then playing it for dave and spencer in the conference room. "Blanks. She fired blanks." spencer says. "We have fewer than 12 hours left. I don't think she'll fire blanks again. If we give Cat what she wants, we can profile what she says on the date. She always trips up. She always reveals her Achilles heel." emily says. "And she always does it with you." dave adds. spencer knew at that moment there was no getting out of it so as soon as they split he went to go find evelyn. "i'm going on a date with cat." he said once he found her. "what what huh. you're going on a date? with cat adams?" evelyn says, surprised. "not a real one obviously. but we need to find this father and daughter. she always slips up with me. her partner fired blanks at them. next time it won't be blanks and i can't let that happen." spencer explains. evelyn nods, rubbing her hands up and down his arms. "you're really going to do this? after everything she's put you through?" evelyn asks softly, looking up at spencer. spencer sighs, looking down at her. "what choice do i have?" spencer said softly. "i don't want to, but if it means that this father and daughter are okay, then i'll do it." spencer says. "okay." evelyn says after a moment of silence. "just be safe, okay?" evelyn says. "i will." spencer says, kissing her softly before going to prepare for the "date."
