1. What was Gideon’s definitive answer as to why the Footpath Killer stuttered? Gideon didn’t know. It was just a stall tactic.

3.  In “Elephant’s Memory”, what song by what artist is playing as Owen drives to the showdown in the street with Reid? Hurt, by Johnny Cash.
4.  Who both wrote and  directed the second half of the season 4 finale “…And Back”? Ed Bernero.
5.  Matthew Gray Gubler’s directorial debut on Criminal Minds was the season 5 episode “Mosley Lane”. Name the two people who wrote it. Simon Mirren and Erica Messer.

7.  What ‘Super’ guest star played the UnSub in season 7’s “Snake Eyes”? Dean Cain.
8.  Who jokingly said “He takes up fly-fishing and goes on massive cocaine-fueled benders.” when asked what was next for Reid after Zugzwang? Breen Frazier.
9.  For what season 9 episode was a secret ‘second script’ written so the actors could experience the traumatic offscreen events in real time? The Edge of Winter.

*BONUS* Name the episode and the season where several characters were given names from The Bad News Bears. Season 8 – The Apprenticeship.

Hope everyone had fun and thanks to all for your submissions! You were all so smart, most everyone just missed one or two at the most! A few words:

• Any version of “Gideon didn’t know the reason for the stutter” was considered correct.
• You didn’t have to put that Robert Greenaway was a policeman, just his name and that he was killed in the line of duty.
• The explanation of the ‘second script’ can be found HERE in my interview with director Hanelle Culpepper back in April.

AND NOW, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, THE WINNER IS:  SHERI FINDLAY!

Congratulations, Sheri – you were spot-on! Enjoy your sweet new autographed visor! Here, have a happy-dancing Gube!
