"Since when are you a doctor? Last I remember, you were no better than a tabloid journalist." Tatum Katz had a rough start with the BAU. Her papparazzi-adjacent photographer being a suspect in one of their cases wasn't exactly a great first impression. Especially when she was arrested alongside him for trespassing on Lila Archer's property. But Jason Gideon saw potential in Tate even if the rest of his team didn't think she deserved it. So, he helped her out of her predicament as a celebrity reporter and got her into her dream profession: political journalism. Then, when the BAU was looking for a new communications liaison after losing JJ, he recommended her for the position. But being thrown back in with the chastened members of the BAU isn't the smooth ride she was hoping for.
