Hotch: "Is this everything from the unit?" he asks after they arrive in Philly after getting a call from Rossi about a possible case 
Agent: "No. We pulled the salient materials and had Philly P.D. Process the rest of the items on site."
Emily: "What else was there?"
Agent: "Just some books, albums, toys."
Morgan: "Toys?"
Agent: "Yeah. Old stuff, like from his childhood. And we were able to lift some prints, but AFIS was a bust. He's not in our system."
Hotch: "Morgan, Watson and Prentiss, go back to the unit and see what else it can tell us about the man."
Agent: "I'll get you directions."

Emily: "Hey, you guys want to make this interesting? Best insights, losers buy lunch and coffee for a week." she says making the other two chuckle a little 
Morgan: "Ooh, bring it on, girl."
Emily: "Ok. It looks like we have a happy kid. Well-rounded, varied interests. This looks to have been drawn at about the schematic stage." she says holding up a couple of drawings
Watson: "So that would make him about 6 years of age at the time, right?"
Emily: "It's dated 1976. So that would make him about 38 now."
Morgan: "Kid's blond, assuming it's autobiographical."
Emily: "And he's caucasian."
Morgan: "Oh, yeah, you hit that one on the head." he says holding up a Van Halen album making them laugh 
Watson: "Ohh...but, now, here, look. Look at how the drawings change over the years. A bright sun, a loving family, an idyllic home. But then, the mother goes away. Maybe she leaves them maybe she dies. The father struggles to make ends meet. The boy begins to withdraw, retreating within himself. This is his turning point. So what informed his fantasies, and when did it begin?"

Morgan: "Got some textbooks in here. Engineering. Mathematics. Cad manual."
Emily: "Trade school."
Morgan: "Ok, so he's in a fix-it field. Construction, home improvement."
Watson: "That's good. But I think I got you."
Morgan: "Not so fast. Look at these. Dresses." 
Emily: "What...they're different sizes."
Morgan: "Mm-hmm. They were different sizes. They've been altered."
Watson: "Cross-dresser."
Emily: "Tch...looks like I'm buying lunch."
Watson: "And I'm buying coffee

JJ: "This is Dana Foster. She's a 34-year-old real estate agent from the suburb of blue bell. She was murdered 5 years ago when she went to meet a prospective buyer at a house in bucks county. Her nude body was found in a cellar, and she was strangled and raped." she says after they return from the storage unit 
Hotch: "And here's the torture behavior that Reid identified from the journals. The contact wounds are burn marks, most likely the result of electrical current."
Emily: "Any leads on the buyer she went to meet?"
JJ: "Fake name."
Agent: "Louis Ivey. Could this guy be any more perfect?" she says making the others give her a look
Watson: "Were her clothes found at the scene?"
JJ: "No. How'd you know?"
Morgan: "He takes them as souvenirs, and he alters them to fit his own frame."
Agent: "So he's bisexual?"
Reid: "Actually, most cross-dressers are heterosexual. It's fairly common in sexual predators."
Rossi: "What about her hair? Was any of it missing?"
JJ: "Not that was reported."
Hotch: "JJ contact Garcia and widen the victim search. Rossi and I will go visit the crime scene."
