The second one lands at Hotch’s feet. He gives Reid a stern look as he says, “physics magic?” Reid apologizes. Reid lets them know that Morgan is in Chicago for his mom’s birthday. In Chicago, Morgan is walking with his sister when they encounter some unsavory people. Morgan goes to the rec center and someone’s photographing him. He talks with some kids and those same people drive by the rec center. Derek goes out to meet them as a man runs out with a baseball bat. Back at his mother’s house, they sing Happy Birthday. That night a boy’s dead boyd is found. He spends time with his mom but is interrupted with a knock on the door. The cop arrests Morgan. At the station, Morgan still doesn’t know what’s going on.

They start working the cases immediately to clear Morgan. He gives them Morgan’s juvenile record. Hotch is surprised. Hotch confronts Morgan and he tells him it’s supposed to be expunged.

Gideon asks a few questions of the local cop regarding Buford and gets stonewalled. Hotch asks Morgan about Carl Buford. Morgan blows up. When Hotch leaves he doesn’t secure the door and Morgan makes an exit. The local cop threatens the whole team. All the police are looking for him. Hotch realizes something based on all the time that Buford spent with Morgan. Morgan heads to the youth center and finds the boy who was looking for him. They discuss the cabin.
