Cold Comfort

Garcia: "Current influences should turn this day into one with plenty of potential, but aidhe trap of trying too hard. Know your strengths. Rely on them. Confidence, real or pretend, is your magic ingredient." she says sitting in the kitchen area while reading a newspaper with Kevin standing behind her

Kevin: "Confidence. Yes, I like that."

Morgan: "Come on, guys, you don't think there's actually anything to that stuff, do you?"

Kevin: "You'd be surprised."

Emily: "It's gibberish."

Morgan: "Thank you."

Garcia: "Oh, you are just jealous because you don't have the magic ingredient."

Emily: "I have the magic ingredient. It's called splenda."

Kevin: "All right, skeptic, what's your sign?"

Morgan: "Uh-oh."

Emily: "No."

Garcia: "No-is that in April?" she asks as Reid and Watson come over to them "Reid, we need a D.O.B. on Prentiss."

Reid: "Ah, 7:12 a.m., October 12, 19-"

Emily: "Hey!" she exclaims making him look at her in confusion

Garcia: "Libra-I should have known. "A romantic opportunity may experience a slight hitch thanks to the pesky lunar influence which could have you dipping into a rather chilly mood. If being demonstrative and warm is difficult, then neutralize this temporary cold front with a simple but affectionate gesture."

Emily: "I have a simple gesture." she says flipping them off as they chuckle 

JJ: "Hey. You guys ready to gather?"

Morgan: "Well, look at you, miss thing. First day back and you're all business."

JJ: "Well, it's either dive right in or confront my separation anxiety."

Watson: "It's tough being away from him, huh?

JJ Yeah." she says as Garcia grabs her right hand and looks at the ring on it

Emily: "Oh, hey, that's new, isn't it?"

JJ: "Yeah, citrine. It's Henry's birthstone. Will and I both got one."

Garcia: "Oh, that's sweet."

JJ: "You done with this?"

Garcia: "All yours."

JJ: "Thank you." she says taking the newspaper from her as Emily glares one last time at Garcia before heading into the meeting room with the others

JJ: "There's been a string of abductions in Olympia, Washington, going back 9 months. 4 women in all, blond, blue-eyed, early 20s. This morning they found one."

Hotch: "When were they taken?"

JJ: "9 months ago."

Emily: "So she was the first?"

JJ: "Yeah."

Rossi: "Looks almost mummified."

JJ: "Uh, not exactly."

Morgan: "Frozen?"

JJ: "Embalmed."

Watson: "That's different."

JJ: "Yeah. So the time of death is a bit of a question mark right now."

Rossi: "Where did they find her?"
