Ep 22. Protection

In Criminal Minds season 10 episode 22 titled "Protection," the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) is summoned to investigate a series of abductions that have taken place in Arizona. The team's expertise in criminal profiling is needed to identify and track down the perpetrator, who is targeting young women.

The episode begins with a young girl named Heather being abducted while on her way home from school. Her family reports her missing to the police, who soon realize that she is not the only victim. Several other women have gone missing under similar circumstances, and the police are at a loss as to how to find the culprit.

The BAU arrives on the scene and quickly gets to work analyzing the evidence. They discover that all of the victims went missing during the day, while they were alone and vulnerable. The unsub (unknown subject) is likely targeting women who are either walking alone or waiting for a ride.

The team investigates further and discovers that the unsub is likely using a vehicle to transport his victims. They examine tire tracks found near the abduction sites and discover that they all match the same make and model of car - a Toyota Camry. They also find fibers from the carpet of the car, which they determine are from a specific brand of vehicle.

With this information, the BAU is able to narrow down their search and identify several suspects who own a Camry of the same make and model. They begin to investigate each of these suspects in turn, looking for any clues that might lead them to the unsub.

As they investigate, the team discovers that Heather's father, Frank, has a dark past and may be connected to the abductions. Frank is a convicted sex offender who served time for raping a teenage girl. While he claims to be innocent of the current abductions, the evidence against him begins to mount.

Meanwhile, another young woman, Karen, is abducted, and the clock is ticking to find her before it's too late. The team continues to investigate and finally zeroes in on the true unsub - a man named Colin, who poses as a security guard to gain access to his victims.

In the dramatic conclusion of the episode, the team races to rescue Karen and bring Colin to justice. Will they be able to save her in time, or will she become just another victim of the unsub's sickening crimes?

Overall, "Protection" is a tense and suspenseful episode that showcases the team's expertise and dedication to solving some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. With its complex plot twists and engaging characters, it is a must-watch for fans of the series.
