• David Rossi : Emily, you asked earlier if she was going to a renaissance fair. There's something to that.

  Emily Prentiss : Based on the dress, there could be more of a connection to history than the occult.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Renaissance fairs typically replicate 16th century England. They've surged in popularity since they began in the 1960s.

  Penelope Garcia : And it's not just a bunch of nerds in costumes eating turkey legs, you guys.

• Emily Prentiss : According to the intake report, Catherine was an aspiring actress who went off her psychiatric medications when she was pregnant with her daughter. She had a minor part in *The Merry Wives of Windsor* 16 years ago when she became floridly psychotic. She was convinced the other actresses were the Devil's wives, so she stabbed one of them.

  Detective Gassner : Is that when she was admitted here?

  Emily Prentiss : No, not yet. It seems she had a son and a daughter. After fleeing the theater, she chopped off the left arm of her infant daughter.

  Jennifer Jareau : Why would she do that?

  Emily Prentiss : To make the child less appealing to the Devil. She believed that killing the Devil's wives was her mission on Earth, which is what our UnSub is doing now.
