THE FOUR HAD GOTTEN WILL TO A HOSPITAL WHERE WILL HAD REUNITED WITH JJ AND THEIR SON. The team was back at the BAU, getting ready to head out for the night.

Garcia walked down the steps of the BAU as Reid looked her way and said: "The convention's still happening tomorrow if you want to go." Garcia places an arm on his shoulder. "That whole city on the brink of destruction thing kind of took the wind out of my sails, you know?"

"That'll do it every time." Emily says. "We didn't finish the inspection." Morgan tells, looking at Emily. "No need," She speaks. "What happened?" Reid asks, mentioning Emily's new place. "Um, there is a horizontal crack in the foundation. It just weakens the entire base that the house is sitting on."

"A horizontal crack?" Casey asks. "Yeah, that does not sound good." Garcia nods.

Strauss comes in, "So, our unsub is Izzy Rogers. She'll be charged with multiple counts domestically, and our international counterparts will have their turn with her. She will never see the light of day. I just thought you'd like to know that." Morgan looks at the file that's handed to him.

"Agent Willows," Casey looks up as the woman calls her name. "A word?" Her eyes widen and her eyebrows raise in fear. She began to think of every bad thing she had done and sent all of her co-workers an eye-pleading help.

Casey and Erin walked over as the team all sat in confusion to why Strauss needed to talk to Casey. The woman looked at Casey with tears in her eyes. "I, uh... I haven't had a chance to speak with you. I sort of hit the ground running." Casey began to realize what this was about. "It took a lot of courage to confront me about my drinking. You changed my life. Thank you."

Casey Willows never would've thought to hear those words coming out Strauss's mouth. When she first met her, she thought she annoyed Strauss, mostly because she annoyed her right back. This was definitely a step up.

"I probably shouldn't even be telling you this but... I'm on the same boat. I understand the struggle. It takes and it takes and changes you. But you don't need to thank me. I'm just... glad you're back." Casey told. Erin smiles, "No, you're not." She tells and Casey smiles right back.

"Hang on, let me check," Casey looks up as her boss in on the phone and looking down at his team in front of him. "Oh, wait, she's here. Erin, don't go anywhere. Dave wants to know if everyone is free tomorrow night?" He asks.

"Well, it depends on if he's buying. Then I'm definitely in." Morgan tells. "Yeah, me, too." Emily tells and everyone else raises their hands.

"You hear that?" Hotch asks. "We're in."
