Trivia:
This episode features two separate plot lines, both of which contain omnivores. The main plot of the story is about a killer who uses pigs to dispose of bodies of his victims, pigs being omnivores (they will eat pretty much anything.) The climax of the episode involves George Foyet from the episode "Omnivore", an escaped serial killer who the team profiled as an "Omnivore" in that episode. more
Quotes:
Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner:
[Final monologue] Sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day.

I'm starting to get nervous that Criminal Minds will follow CSI and make a turn for the worst, but so far I'm still holding onto my hopes. Regardless of that, I had a hard time focusing on this episode because it reminds me of a real serial killer in British Columbia, Canada who is a pig farmer that fed his victims to the pigs. It just so happens his victims were prostitutes. He hasn't been convicted yet, that's how fresh this case is. The similarities between this episode and what's really happened, even though the differences are significant, are too profound.It's too close to reality, which makes it a really great episode and a really terrible one.
