036. the big game

All of the team members, aside from Gideon, are at a bar that they went to for the Superbowl. Hotch, Haley, and Penelope are at a table while Emily gets them more drinks. Penelope is watching Derek dance with a few women.

JJ is playing darts with a couple of guys and Spencer and Jessica are at a different table and talking to some people. Jessica is mostly just drinking, not understanding half of the conversation that's occurring -- mostly due to being a bit intoxicated.

"Ask me any question." Spencer challenges. JJ ruffles his hair as she passes the table. Spencer quickly fixes his hair.

"Return to Tomorrow." The guy says. Jessica hums as she finally catches up with the conversation.

"Return to Tomorrow, season 2, production number 51, an alien entity, Sargon, takes over Kirk's body while two others take over Spock and Dr. Mulhall's." Spencer says.

"Alien race is appearing?"

"Trick question. A race is never identified. Sargon is a disembodied mind." Spencer says.

"And the Dr. McCoy quote?" The guy asks.

Spencer frowns as he runs through his brain, trying to remember the quote.

"Oh, shit." Jessica loudly whispers at him blanking.

"Five... four..." The woman starts to count down. "Three... two..."

"I will not peddle flesh. I'm a physician."" Spencer recites. "Drink!" He exclaims, his tone making Jessica giggle, looking at him with drunken, adoring eyes.

They're at the bureau after JJ got a call about a case while at the bar.

"You know, it never fails." Derek comments. "Just as I'm getting my groove thing going, bam. We're back at the BAU."

"Your groove-- okay." Jessica rolls her eyes. She gives Emily and Penelope a weird look, the two quietly laughing.

"You know, statistically a case doesn't come in with any more frequency if you're at a party or a gathering and if you aren't." Spencer informs. "It's a trick of the mind. We merely remember the ones that came in that way more."

"Did it have to happen while I was drunk?" Jessica grumbles, taking a sip of her coffee. She immediately gags, violently coughing. "Jesus." She mumbles, hissing in disgust. "That's yours." She gives Spencer the mug before grabbing her correct cup.

"You put sugar in your coffee sometimes." Spencer frowns.

"Not a whole box." Jessica retorts.

"Besides, is it really that hard for you to get your groove "thang" going again?" Emily teases Derek making Jessica and Penelope laugh.

"Only when he's sleeping." Gideon says, walking in. He takes his jacket off, hanging it on the back of a chair.

"Where were you tonight?" Hotch asks.

"I told you, I went to the Smithsonian." Gideon says.

"You missed a good time." Emily says.

"I had a good time." Gideon states.

"Well, that's definitely over." JJ says, walking in. "Georgia. The Kyles, Dennis and Lacey, were murdered an hour ago in their suburban Atlanta home."

"An hour ago?" Jessica asks.

"Police were on scene unusually fast." JJ says.

"Why?" Derek asks.

"One of the unsubs called them and told them that the other was about to murder the victims." JJ informs.
