Antonia wanted to throw the agents off balance and she obviously wanted to satisfy her need to be in control and feeling important.
She was even quoted as saying that of all the serial killer types, the ones she finds the most dangerous are the hyper-intelligent ones that get off more on the mind games than the killing. She explained that they are like vampires who are ready to suck the soul of others dry and file their information away for a rainy day.
The episode also kept viewers on the edge of their seats when it ended on a ‘To be continued’ note as Antonia tells Hotch that there is a storm coming and he is about to be swept away and that it is his reward for being so clever.
It was a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse that the BAU agents played with Antonia after the guards at a Virginia prison intercepted a package with evidence related to the disappearance of two boys several years ago.
Slade received a package of bloody clothes from behind bars and a DNA test showed that those clothes once belonged to the two missing teens from Virginia.
The DNA and the police reports also listed that those clothes are the last things that either of the boys had been wearing before they disappeared.
